• 12:15 AM, My daughter snared $20 from my wallet and after BC, the home team, had a runner on third with less than 2 outs for the 4th time and failed to score or even make any kind of blub contact, she said,
"Dad, BC sucks!", and went and bought a white Longhorn's hat and humiliated her father and I was laughed at by at least 100 fans!"
• They closed the consession stands at 10 PM and reopened them at midnight and still had nothing left to sell? WTF?
