The view from Budapest

We had to fly halfway around the world, but my good friend, Mark Sanders and I were able to go to the A&M – Missouri football game together this past Saturday. We regularly watch college football together in Budapest and I think we have watched the last few A&M – Missouri games together [...]

I watched the opening Monday Football Games this week and I can’t believe how far MNF has fallen.  I didn’t watch hardly any of the games last year because of the time difference, but due to being sick, I watched them on tape the next morning. 

First of all, Jaworski is a disaster as a live [...]

Valerie & I watched the #6 ranked Aggies play the #1 UCLA Bruins yesterday.  First of all, I can believe that the Aggies are ranked so high.  Two years ago we went 0-16 in the Big XII so it is hard to believe we have come so far.  We already lost to #9 LSU this [...]

[thumb:358:l]We talk a lot in Budapest about adapting to our foreign culture. Some areas are easy and some areas are much more difficult. The biggest challenge in Hungary is the language. It is one of the most difficult in the world and after 3 years, I know a lot of words, but [...]

When I lived in the US, I would have never consider staying up for a Fantasy Baseball draft, but here I am again (This is my 3rd year to do it from here). It’s 3am and I’m in Round 12 of my draft. I did get a little sleep before and hopefully I’ll [...]

It was soooo close.

All evening, I wondered if I would be able to stay awake long enough to watch the game. It started at midnight here and at 10 I was yawning like crazy. When the game finally started, I didn’t think I would have to stay up much [...]

I set the alarm for 4am not knowing if I’d really get up, but here I am just before 5am watching the Aggies doing the job against Syracuse. It was a great first half and the Aggies are really on their game and totally out hustling the Orangemen. I hope they [...]

[image:323:c]WHOOOOOOP!!! Last night the Aggie Basketball Team beat the #6 ranked Longhorns on a buzzer beater by Acie Law. I thought that we would be competitive in the game, but I really didn’t think we could win it. It has been an amazing year for the team as they have won [...]
