Thank you!

Never give up or give in-there aren’t any democrats in evidence here, only fellow conservatives who lean libertarian and vote republican-the rural version of hippies and preppers, I suppose-but there are still visitors to convert-el miedo es un defecto mortal...

I’m sure you are wishing you could go into warp drive-I got busy yesterday and forgot to ask you if you are freaking out yet...

So the Texans drafted the Pitt QB - I never saw him play this season - did we get a good one? And by good, I mean is he able to tell the difference between our jerseys and the opponents, unlike our former QB?

He only played one season at Pitt, but was pretty competent/smart.

He had transferred from another school and had some injury previously as well. Not a typical history. So we didn’t see a lot of him.

He transferred from Penn State.... so O’Brien knew him there

Oh - I thought I heard the fawning announcers say that was where O’Brian had known him. Thanks for the correction

Freaking out? Nope.

Can’t say it’s not stressful but I’m looking forward to it.
