BIG GAME THIS SATURDAY

If you aren't doing anything Saturday night, Oklahoma State is coming to Lubbock to play the Raiders. Just like last week, this will probably be a heck of a game. So if you don't even like football, this will be fun to watch. Tech is #2 in the nation, and has a chance to play for a national championship should they win their next 3 games. This football success has been fantastic for the city of Lubbock.
Also, my nephew Zach is playing in a big game tomorrow night. His team, Bridgeport HS, is playing their biggest rival, Decatur. Bridgeport is #1 in the state in 3A, and Zach is a starting defensive lineman. I got to watch them a couple of weeks ago, and they look like a college team. So, good luck Zach.
I don't want to turn this into a political blog, but I will encourage you to get involved in local politics. Whether you are liberal or conservative, you live in a democracy, and your views count. This latest election showed us how uniformed we are, from both sides, and how we continue to take a uninterested stance toward who we cede political power to. There could come point at which we can't get that power back. Ask those in Cuba or Venezuela. Anyway, have a good weekend.
