Echoes of Matthew 25

Echoes of Matthew 25

The sun beats down on broken faces and wearied bodies taking rest on the steps of an aged soup kitchen bustling early in the morning. Inside, others climb the staircase to a wide sanctuary where pews double as a sanctuary for a much needed nap. The burden of life's hardships is written all over their faces.But the sound of laughter, of talking, of conversing with old friends seems to overshadow the solemnity of the moment.

Sunday morning means it is time to worship.

Early-season struggles do not alter magnitude of heated rivalry game: Pro Frogs

Published Sep 18, 2007

When driving back from my buddy's place after Thursday's mind-numbing loss, I started to smell something. The problem was that it did not smell like baby powder slapped onto a infant's butt, freshly cut grass on a midsummer's day or my mother's made-from-scratch chicken parmigiana. Heck, it did not even smell like the overbearing perfume emanating from the girl you just met at Whataburger at 3 a.m.

The 2007 season was burning, and it started to suffocate the hopes and dreams of this season. Funky-perfume-girl sounds pretty good right about now.

The Battle for the Iron Skillet has gotten less prestigious as the weeks go by. The Mustangs are coming off a lackluster performance in Arkansas and the Horned Frogs have back-to-back losses against teams they had chances to beat.

SMU had something to prove, while TCU was on top of the world and got knocked down by the seemingly lowly Mustangs.

The good news is if you do not have a wounded star on your roster, his backup could be available and become your new starter.

But before we get into this week's stuff, here are a couple thoughts for the week:

1. Seriously, what the heck happened to Deion Branch?

MADD proposal a safe idea

Published Sep 14, 2007

Turning 21 is a godsend for just about any college student. You suddenly have the ability to go into a bar, get carded and know that you will not be kicked out when the bouncer notices the ID picture is that of a 47-year-old man.Being of age and going to bars also carries a responsibility. Being the sober or designated driver is part and parcel of the bar hopping experience, especially in a city where flagging a taxi is no easy task.
