Ella Fitgerald with Count Basie - A Classy Pair

I am again completely worn out. Meredith just asked if we could go to bed now. It's early, but it sounds like a good idea.

The workshop project is moving along sort of strangely.

I have to go to 871 tomorrow. That's never an easy thing to do when I'm tired. It's not easy to do when I'm bright eyed and bushy tailed.

I'm curious why the conventional wisdom that UT football players are not good pros developed. D.D. Lewis and Marcus Tubbs started on defense for the NFC champion Seattle Seahawks. Casey Hampton started on defense for the Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers. Nathan Vasher, Cory Redding, Chris Simms, Derrick Dockery, Ricky Williams, Roy Williams, Derrick Johnson, Quentin Jammer, and Shaun Rogers are all starting in the NFL. Priest Holmes was setting all sorts of records until he started having injury troubles. Three of those guys started in the Pro Bowl this year. Those guys all play pretty well and they stay out of trouble. Okay, Ricky Williams likes his pot, a lot. He apparently likes some illegal supplement too. Cedric Benson will be good whenever he gets the chance to play. All I know is that the IHOP loving Michael Huff is going to be a good NFL player. Rodrique Wright will be a good NFL player. David Thomas will be good. I think Vince Young will be good, but I think he's made a huge mistake by leaving early. Quarterbacks don't do well when they leave early. Among those who have left college early for the NFL, Michael Vick is the only one with a remotely decent professional career. He's constantly questioned. Running Backs can leave early and be fine, but not quarterbacks. I also like that some NFL types think that the lack of players leaving school early shows that the University of Texas program is soft. Oh well.
