Want to read a funny obituary?
It ends like this:
Dude, you were an original - no doubt about that.
I'm going to miss you - I know a lot of people will.
PS. Dude, do me one last favor:
I'll watch the big Orange Bowl game Wednesday with a shot of Chinaco
standing by.
If you can, try to cause a Florida State fumble in the fourth
quarter so Oklahoma
can win the national championship, and we'll share one last toast.
...bye, Dude

Watching the Orange Bowl, waiting for the fourth quarter "Dennis fumble..."
Isn't it sad that Bobby Bowden broke his glasses and had to wear
his wife's?
You'd think with all his millions, he'd have a second pair.
But the biggest bitch I have is the biased announcers.
Everything Florida State does is "great," even tho they haven't
scored a point.
And everything Oklahoma does is "trying their best against a much
better team."
Hey, I'm not kidding myself, Oklahoma could still lose this by
30,
but the announcers are about as "fair and impartial" as Fox News.
Let's hope the officials don't screw up some major call, giving
the championship
to the state of Florida, of all places, if they don't
deserve it.
Orange Bowl Update
Remember the Barry Switzer factor?
Years ago, some sports writer asked Barry
how he expected to do against the
powerful "Texas scoring machine," and he
said.
"We may play to a tie."
Puzzled, the reporter asked Barry what he meant by that.
Barry said, "Well, I don't think Texas can
score on the Selmon brothers,
so if we don't score, the worst
Oklahoma can do is a 0-0 tie."
After three quarters,
the powerful "Florida State scoring machine" has a goose egg.
...and then in the middle of the fourth quarter...
Florida
State University quarterback Chris Weinke fumbles the football
as
he is tackled by Oklahoma's Rocky Calmus during the fourth quarter,
January
3, 2001 in the Fed Ex Orange Bowl. The fumble set up the only
Sooners
touchdown, with OU beating FSU 13-2 for the championship.
...thanks, Dude.
