It starts off crisp and sunny. Today TTU and BYU slug it out on the playing field inside of what used to be Jones Stadium. I don't know what they call it now because I don't know which corporate sponsor is being honored currently. And on both sides of the fray, fans pray for victory and ask of the Lord, Hoo doo You love? The Crackling Christians of TTU or the Maniacal Mormons of BYU? HOO! DOO! YOO! LUV??? TTU's relatively high rankings are at stake, post-season bowl game placements are at risk. Can it get anymore nail-biting than that? Is any question of any greater cosmic importance? And for TTU it is homecoming, which puts the gravy on the cake for sure. The ancient pageantry of Homecoming, and a clash of titans, will put the final dabs of paint on our dreams of immortal glory. And don't you dare forget the American Flags waving in the wind today.
There is just enough wind today to make them look pretty.
Best of all, it will be good, clean, fun. No taint of alcohol will tarnish our lips or defile our bowels. No discouraging words will pollute the air we breathe. There will be no bad talk or loud talk to curdle the purity of the sacred rituals to be performed today. All will be well, and all manner of good thing shall be well.
