Slipknot, the truth is I don't care a lick about football, either. I can tolerate hearing scores after games are over--and even occasional replayed clips on TV news if there's an important play my husband feels I need to appreciate visually. But I really mostly prefer to go someplace else and read a book or shop or do whatever I want while the men are going ape over games.

Colonel, heavens no, the university in San Marcos is called Texas State University. Formerly called Southwest Texas State University. It's a part of Texas' state university system, but it's not THE University of Texas, which is huge and in Austin. That's where I went to undergraduate and graduate school--the biggest and the best, UT Austin. Nothing else compares, I'm afraid.
