I am coming to work today after our very successful One Day Sale. I define success more than one sale. It was great. We had a party stayed up here late and our Customer Service Reps had a blast with some in-house games.

Is one day of sales really going to make a difference . . .

YES

So now begins what I will forever refer to as THE BUZZ.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would love to start off by saying that I am somewhat of a High school football fan.

I will go to a game or two because I can get in free and the company is good. Plus teams have become more entertaining in the past years.

I came from the Mecca of LAKE HIGHLANDS HIGH SCHOOL. Jerry Gayden coached there after Zuffoto left because of some questionable things.

We had the Boneyard sold out every game and it was awesome. Mostly because I was under the stand playing "Jackpot"





So on the eve of the biggest game in Texas high School Football tonight, I wanted to say that no matter how good the Wildcats were (for the record we were real good). It never had a feeling like Abilene does around a big game or a series of big games.

Wylie vs. Clyde
Cooper vs. Permian
Eagles vs. Permian
Cooper vs. Eagles

It’s incredible. I'm indifferent but you can't help get excited for these kids. Frankly it sells papers for me. I love that part of it because we have great coverage.

Tonight is Eagles vs. Mojo. I'm creating Fan cards that will be passed out at the game.

The game is already sold out and it should be entertaining. Statman will be there so that always makes me laugh.

So in my expert football analysis, here is what is going to happen.

Permian vs. Eagles

2 BIG turnovers from Permian, 1 runback from Permian
AHS will give up two long pass plays, not because they need help on the corners but because of the formation the Mojo will present.
At halftime, Permian will be winning.

At the end of the game based on smart play calling and excellent ball control the Eagles will score more on the ground than in the air. Lackey will do a good job managing the line.

In the end it will be AHS over Permian and please do not pull down the goal posts.

I would suggest that everyone go and buy Saturday's paper to see how close I am to that if you can't go.

Then there is the Showdown at Shotwell the following week.

Cougars vs. Eagles

I am splashing the town with Rack cards (slang term for printed card on the front of a vending machine) rooting for each team. So if all you see are Eagle signs you must be in there district and same with Cougars.

I think that will be a better game than the Permian one. Because Cooper has something to prove and the Eagles will have everything to lose.

Good luck to everyone tonight.
