was there a pavement reference in there? sadly, i missed it.

i was interested in the title of your thread, op. "dance with who brung ya" was an old adage from darrell royal, the famous texas longhorn football coach. it's rather straightforward, but the quote refers to a football fan following that team with which he was brought up, through his parents influence, for example. the irony here is that royal was an okie, "born and bread," and a sooner football all-american playing both ways for wilkinson. but he's known more for leading the sooner's perennial rival and this quote about the origin of one's support. so does this mean anything can be bought? maybe, but i'm not that hardcore ... nor that cynical.

me? i'm an okie ("sooner born and ... sooner dead!"), like the joads, and can't wait for college football season. like the southern baptists, it was more about brainwashing than dancing though. and that's fine by me, as it's a great game. one thing i do hate about saturdays in the fall though is missing out on a beautiful saturday of riding my '73 falcon when i'm already on my fourth pbr and glued to the third quarter of only the first game of the day. yep, it's a religion. and thank god it's still with me after all that fundamentalism bs has come and gone.

beat fexas!
