Bag of Randomness Friday Night Edition

  • Hey Jerry, were was the blue star in the middle of the field?
  • Before the game the news showed a man walking down every row with a laptop with three cell phones strapped to the computer to test cell phone coverage.  The laptop was GPS enabled, and if there was a weak area, the GPS marked the location.
  • Nothing like the Cowboys opening the stadium with a play that resulted in a penalty.
  • It’s amazing that the first Cowboys game in Texas Stadium wasn’t a preseason game, but a mid-season regular season game.  That’s right, the Cowboys opened the season in the Cotton Bowl and them moved to Texas Stadium.
  • I can’t stand that damn Fox robot.
  • The players seemed genuinely excited about playing in the new place, and a lot of them actually seemed to car even though it was just the second preseason game of the season.
  • I noticed that some of the numbers on the field looked different.  The 20 isn’t as curvy and the new 40 is skinnier.  It’s like the numbers worked out, lost weight, and toned up.

  • There are hints of Texas Stadium in the new place.  Other than the hole in the roof, you can see some stars on the walls around the field, but only in the endzone.
  • This time lapse is pretty cool.  From tearing down all the Paul McCartney stage and equipment to laying down the field.

Happy Friday

It’s Friday, so you should be happy.  What’s one thing that currently is making you happy?

I’ll start . . . I’m happy that I took the time to call our air conditioner people to inquire about a promotion that I missed – having our next month’s electric bill paid for with a new unit installation.  Yes, they are honoring the promotion.
