Weekly Meetings That Make No Sense

  Two groups of people meet once a week to blabber their nonsense. The Texas Tech Student Democrats meet at Holden Hall once a week to talk about the state of democrat politics in Lubbock. I attended several meetings last semester and the local democrat county chair was absent at every meeting and he is employed by Tech's library,go figure. Another small group of concerned citizens formed by the FaceBook page IHateLP&L meet once a week in the back of a local restaurant. They organize rants for city council sessions and even threaten to recall city council members. I attended two of these meetings,saw who they are and will attend no further meetings. I did see three prominent republicans at the IHateLP&L meetings and that turned me off. Weekly meetings can become useless,comical and counterproductive. Both of these groups should concentrate on "getting a life".

Glen Robertson's EGO

  Mayor Robertson continues to wear a "caped crusader" costume with a United Supermarkets emblem. He will hold yet another early morning townhall meeting next week trying to impersonate a "man of the people". Mr.Robertson even goes to KFYO to peddle his BS like the last 3 mayors and his BS is bullcrap. This editor refuses to cover these "nutty" meetings and encourages all readers to boycott United Supermarkets and the "caped crusader's" goofy meetings.

Two Teams With Little Potential

  The Texas Tech/SMU football game was entertaining as a defensive struggle for a short time. Neither offense could find their butz with a garden rake. Later the SMU squad just fell apart and Tech moved the ball somewhat better. The "circus" offense known as run&shoot never showed up. Texas Tech's running game was in spurts and on one play both Tech runningbacks ran into each other,literally causing the freshman QB to fumble. Both teams looked slow and out of shape and several players cramped up during the game. Neither team appeared to have enough talent to compete for a bowl game this year.
