What a crazy couple of days. The weather here at the compound started turning cold just plain ducky just before Thanksgiving. The holiday was good and the football was even better. This year has been probably the most entertaining year in college football I've ever seen. Missouri winning the Big 12 North? thats almost as crazy sounding as Kansas undefeated, and skinny Mangino. They did beat the raiders pretty good so I guess them winning the north eases the pain a little.

Gator Bowl Bound? Beats the hell out of the Alamo Bowl I guess. Maybe we will draw a good school, beat them and get their coach fired. Seems to be our post season lot in life. I like the thought of a New years day bowl.

Bow season has been pretty uneventful so far. This weather really makes me want to get out in the tree. There really is nothing like sitting in a tree for 8 hours in 40 degree cloudy rainy weather. I was suppose to try and get out there tomorrow, but it looks like I wont be in the woods again anytime soon. Ive had a few chances that I passed on early, thinking i would have ample time. 30 or so days left and it looks like the freezer might be bare this spring.

The Brody and Owen are good, but going a little stir crazy just like the old man. The lovely wife is in Austin visiting the newest addition to the Phillips family. Good stuff all around.
