I talked to Jason three times on Saturday: before, during and after the TCU-Oklahoma football game. "How frustrating was that," he exclaimed at the end of the game. "TCU didn't lose, they just ran out of time." One of my co-workers claims that statement belongs to Texas A & M, but I have to disagree. TCU was in the game right down to the last play. Jason will argue forever that the game should have been tied, that the referee's over looked a holding call on the Sooner's long touchdown run, which was pointed out and circled by the TV commentators and then promptly forgotten. Oh well, for TCU there is always next year. Don't forget they started sixteen freshmen. Not a bad year for the first year in the Big 12. Just ask Mac Brown.
Last week's activity in the Hindu Kush was uneventful as far as what was publicly disclosed, but I think there was some activity that was off the ability to disclose list. Jason didn't say anything specific, but I think I can tell when he is leaving something out. Whatever it was, it was successful so far as I can tell. Here are a couple of pictures from Thanksgiving in COP Khiligay which Jason took:
Now for the news of the week: this is Army Navy week! America's game! Army can win the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy for the first time in years! There will be all kinds of pranks at West Point and in Annapolis to the Cadets/Midshipmen that are taking part in the Exchange Program. Jason had an Air Force "Zoomie" one semester as a roommate who the plebes took all of his furniture and clothes and put them on the roof of Pershing Barracks. It was hilarious. There will also be a number of "Spirit Videos" which will make the rounds. Here is a link to one of my favorite Spirit Videos from years' past:
This year's favorite, from West Point:
Finally, in all seriousness, GO ARMY, BEAT NAVY!
