The Waiting: Rice Week

Oh baby dont it feel like heaven right now
Dont it feel like somethin from a dream
Yeah I've never known nothing quite like this
Dont it feel like tonight might never be again
We know better than to try and pretend
Baby no one could have ever told me bout this

The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you see one more card
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part

Well yeah I might have chased a couple of women around
All it ever got me was down
Then there were those that made me feel good
But never as good as I feel right now
Baby youre the only one thats ever known how
To make me wanna live like I wanna live now

The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you see one more card
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part

Dont let it kill you baby, dont let it get to you
Dont let em kill you baby, dont let em get to you
Ill be your breathin heart, Ill be your cryin fool
Dont let this go to far, dont let it get to you

Doesn't it feel like this week is dragging? Saturday can't get here soon enough.

The DMN has its usual post-Phil press conference article. If you haven't figured it out. Katie Papadapolous shows up for the press conference and then goes looking for players to talk to. Rumor has it she watches the games, too.

Anyway, the focus is on Martin who has had a disappointing year. SMU needs a big game from Martin. Sanders is expected play (Yeah!); Haywood practiced (Yeah!), but is still questionable (boo).

Speaking of the Phil Bennett press conference, from time to time, you get priceless moments from Bennett. Such was the case when he was asked about Rice star WR Jarett Dillard. I loved the look on his face when Bennett matter of factly said it was better to interfere with the guy than let him score. Obviously, that is true, but the way he said it was great.

Things are falling apart at North Texas. I post this because SMU grad and NTSU offensive coordinator are involved.

During halftime of the game, offensive coordinator Ramon Flanagan allegedly started a physical fight with wide receivers Coach Chip Garber after being told he should play seniors because it was their final home game. The incident got so out of hand the offense received no instruction before going back out to start the third quarter.
