Only in Texas, I guess

If one is a University of Texas Longhorn fan and subscribes to the ESPN-owned Longhorn Network, they will be able to tune in on Christmas morning and watch Bevo, the school's athletics mascot, roaming his range, for five hours, commercial free.  The network will air the program, titled Bevo: Home For the Holidays on Thursday morning. It will feature the first ever "Bevo cam" where "fans can watch the longhorn roam his natural habitat."  The show will include "festive holiday music."

Whoop. Will they "censor" his potty events?
Let's hope he doesn't get amorous, people will think he went to A&M.

As far as TV viewing goes, I'd rate that at one up on the fire in the fireplace video.  But then, what do I know about longhorns up here in Minnesota.  All we got is Babe the Blue Ox.

So, they still tell Aggie jokes?  They used to back in the 80s when I lived there, in Austin.  Basically, just tell a Polak joke for male Aggies, and a dumb blond joke for the girls.  Only say "Aggie" instead.

It's better than watching the sports teams, they really need to start spending more money on their athletes like in the past, giving a kid a car, access to the boosters daughters, and a second-rate education is not getting it.

You gotta understand, here they bet on High School Football.  No shit, not even teams from schools they went to, or have any relatives in.  I've seen betting on Peewee games.

Then again, it ain't no more insane then they get about Basketball, and NASCAR in North Carolina.

Gambling on high school games happens everywhere.

"Well, actually..."  Yeah, but once again, you missed the entire point, jumping to the conclusion that there must be something wrong with what I said.  Either because I don't know what I'm talking about, or to prove yourself right, it doesn't fucking matter.

They don't do it the way they do here, anywhere else.

You really need to get that IFF fixed.

For clarity, college basketball, they’re barely aware of the Hornets  When the dude in the Dale Earnhardt shirt (Sr. or Jr., doesn’t matter) says his favorite team is ‘State!’, he’s referring to a college team from Raleigh.  He doesn’t even shorten North Carolina State to NC State, it’s just ‘State!’, cuz who else could he possibly be talking about?  And he’s arguing with fans of North Carolina, Duke, Wake Forest and Clemson, yeah at least one South Carolina school makes it into these high brow discussions too.  My grandfather lumped them all into a group he called Tobacco Road.

When I was a kid vacationing at Carolina beaches I would get asked who my favorite team was (and summer isn’t even basketball season).  When I replied ‘Maryland’, I swear they looked at me like I was as an alien, and then said ‘Ya’ll talk funny.’

We only know where Maryland is, because you beat Texas.

Yeah, sorry.  Also, High School Basketball beats out Football for prep rallies, cheerleading, and black kid's scholarship hopes.  (After Football, and Baskeball Scolarships, there's the UNCF.)

It’s that little place outside Washington DC where everyone eats crabs and has crabs.

In coastal Maryland, the crabs eat you!

I’m from one of the western counties, Maryland Appalachia sandwiched between West Virginia and Pennsylvania.

If you can't go to college go to State.

If you can't go to State go to jail.

Yeah, two guys betting on who'd win the tip of the IHSA AA Boy's Basketball Championship Game was all in my mind.

Well, I was born in Arlington.  So, that's similarly sandwiched between the rest of the District of Columbia, and the rest of Virginia.  Also, my favorite place to eat crab legs was the Chesapeake Bay Seafood and Buffet, but that closed down.  Now, ironically the only Chesapeake Seafood House is in Illinois.

You see, because I was talking about Football, which is a whole 'nother sport.  Thanks for sharing, though.
