So, since last time (I swear I'm going to write in this stinking thing more than just once every blue moon) I wrote, I told you all I might have found a job and blah, blah, blah. All good stuff. Well, lets go from that point and move forward....
Nevada game: Probably the 2nd best game I have ever attended. It was awesome. Come from behind victory and amazing 4th down play.

| 2nd Best play I've ever seen. First one...Involves Crabtree, and a certain burnt orange color. |
Although we lost, it was awesome to be apart of the last Texas A&M and Texas Tech game. Sad to see them go, but know they'll be back sooner rather than later. SEC you later, A&M!
Wesley and her folks came down and we went to Canton, which is the world largest flea market in the nation. Literally, anything and everything you could possibly want is there, you just have to find it, which is half the fun/horror. BUT, the food is spectacular, and that's why I go.
AND as of last week, I am EMPLOYED! I start on Nov. 1st.
I interviewed for a Teller position with PlainsCapital Corp. in North Dallas, and got the job offered to me last week. I am going to be a teller for a minimum of 6 months, then I can move anywhere within PlainsCapital.
Since my primary goal since I was 7 was to be a loan officer, then after my 6 months I will go into the Credit Analyst program, and be there for a minimum of 1 year, and then shuffled out to be a Loan officer at a branch or somewhere. I can honestly be a Loan Officer within a year and a half, or if I chose another route, I could be a branch manager in 2. Either way I choose, it will be an amazing road. I'm so excited to be apart of this amazing company. They are so involved in employee growth, and with my degree and knowledge of the banking environment, I should not only prosper, but succeed exponentially every day I come to work, which is the point of working, correctly?
Also, last weekend, I witnessed the most amazing upset in history. My Texas Tech Red Raiders went into Norman, Oklahoma to play #3 OU on ABC...which looked like a very ugly scene for a murder that should have happened.
What happened was the exact opposite.
I, for one, never saw this coming at all. I actually had my Southern Comfort waiting for me, and it looked like the rain delay was going to give me enough time to be well slicked for what should have happened.
After a 1 hour rain delay, the Red Raiders came in on a mission and they executed it to the finest point. But, I really should have expected it. The Red Raiders are that one team that you can NEVER over-look.
Needless to say, I am so proud to be a Red Raider, they pulled off the upset of the century, and ended OU's 39 game, 6 year home winning streak. It was completely awesome to see all the Trailer Park U fans flood OUT of that horrendous stadium, in that "Has-done-nothing-for-the-creation-of-the-USA" state.
Now for some pictures, that are totally awesome.

What makes this victory so sweet is that during the rain delay, OU hogged the Indoor facility, while our team was made to hang out in a cramp visitor locker room and eat PB&J sandwiches to keep the energy flowing.
Sad, sad sportsmanship by OU, and I'm so glad we made them shove it right up their.....
So for now on, my battle cry will not be "Raider Power!", It will be belting out lyrics of
"PEANUT BUTTA JELLY TIME!!!"
Anyways, I'm so ready for next weekend (but really, I always am!) when we play Iowa State, who beat us last year easily. So, I'm hoping for a sell out to really show these guys that were behind them, and not just when they play A&M, UT or OU.
Oh, and did I mention all these events happening in my life dont mean a thing except that I have the absolute best girlfriend a guy could ask for? Wesley is absolutely the greatest thing that's ever happened to me, and she continues to stay (which baffles me).
I cant wait till the day I can have her and my dog, GG in my life everyday.

Well, guys, I think that's it. I'm going to try and update this on Monday before my first day. Look forward to it!
G'night and Wreck'em!
