Glad that day's over

I posted a slowpoke 23:30 at yesterday's Race for the Cure 5K, and I let a few folks beat me, all of whom are having a lotta fun with it. My running partner David posted a 20:11, which was just 8 seconds off his personal record. My problem was that I followed him out on a fast start. We hit mile 1 at 6:16, and about a half mile later, I was sucking wind. Razorback Billy passed me at mile 2, but I did get a chuckle as I watched him flash the 'horns down sign at the Texas High cheering squad.

Everyone in the country outside of Gainesville seemed to be pulling for Arkansas yesterday, and that was a heartbreaker. Texarkana standouts Ryan Mallett and Dennis Johnson both had good games, and Texarkana frosh Cobi Hamilton got the start at Wide Receiver. I think we have the opportunity to reel in five wins in a row beginning at Oxford on Saturday. It'd be nice to go into Baton Rouge sitting at 8-3.

Update: SEC officials admit the personal foul against Malcolm Sheppard halfway through the 4th quarter was incorrect. Still, we had plenty of opportunities to close the deal.
