I don’t know if we missed it, but even in the most awkward of press conferences the past few weeks, I don’t think Chip, Anwar, or anybody asked Tom how the Texas Pregamer was handling 20 days off? Much like the team, we were knee deep in Kansas prep when the cancelation heard by literally dozens in Lawrence, Kansas rang out. So much moment-in-time specific genius the world will never get to see. But alas, on to the next.
How incredibly fitting that in this Season of Giving Thanks and in this (football) season of dubious relevance, Texas finds itself playing not it’s historical Thanksgiving rival of yester-year, but instead playing on the fake holiday created to celebrate commerce and capitalism.
