I keep wanting to be a UT fan but they make it awful hard. The new head coach that came from Bama will hopefully make a difference next year.

I do like Houston, and wouldn't mind rooting for them if the Patriots ceased to exist. Don't make it a habit of "jumping teams" and I've been following the Pats since the early-mid 60's. Would listen to the games on the radio with my dad, and watch on TV when they were televised (& when we finally got a TV). When you been following a team this long, it's hard to switch away from them. I really dislike the other TX team... sorry that.

Was a tough game to watch. Was very close, but the D pulled it out in the final minutes. They'll be meeting Philly in 2 weeks for the Superbowl. I really expected the Vikings to win but they really got blown out.
I did not expect the Vikes to win. I do like Keenum, but remember, he played for Houston Texans not once but twice and by now everyone knows their QB history. It's "Why my team sucks".

So, he goes to Minnesota. You know what they say.
'You can take the boy out of Texas but you can't take the Texan out of the boy'.......

I do wish him luck wherever he ends up next season in free agency, but that so called QB guru of a head coach in Houston has ruined him.
He'd been way better off starting his NFL career somewhere other than Baghdad on the Bayou.

I'm picking the Pats to win SB, and I'm glad they won Sunday.
Deflate THAT, Goodell.

Shows you how much I follow professional sports, I didn't even know there were 2 football teams in Texas.

So it's 50° and a bit breezy. Been having back complaints past couple of days, so no heavy lifting here. Snapped a few pics of the girls. Pardon the angles, had a pocket full of cookies to get them to come up and once done, no way to get them to turn.

First, here's my fat girl April She's 50/50 Lamancha/meat goat. She's always been this fat, so not sure if she's bred or not.

Here's Dot, and she was the first to get knocked up, the day RJ arrived 10/26 so should be the farthest along. She is much "fatter" now than she has been since last pregnant.

Here's Bang. Though she may not look like she's putting on baby, this was my skinny beyond belief doe and she HAS grown substantially.

Here's CB. Though she is young, she is almost the same size as her mother.

And of course we have to drop a pic of my 1st bottle baby CC, just cause she's such a doll :love

Good looking girls! Sorry I haven't posted much on here, it turned into a football discussion and I've never had any interest in football or know anything about it.
But, then you go posting pictures and I can oooohhh and ahhh over goats. I'm not sure what I think about Lamancha's. In a way I like how they look, in another way they look weird, but kind of in a good way.
I didn't know you had that many goats, they are like potato chips, I'm always looking to see what's out there that I might want to add to my herd.
