6:00 - Rush out to grab the morning paper. Scan past trivial stories of presidential inaugurations and earthquakes to see if there are any recruiting nuggets.
6:15 - Note that the Houston Chronicle, for the fourth consecutive week, does not list Tommie Harris as having any interest in OU. Wonder if the Chronicle has more inside information on this situation than you do.
6:16 - Clean up coffee spilled all over self while laughing at the notion that the Chronicle knows anything at all about recruiting.
6:30 - Eat breakfast while watching another rerun of an Inside Southwest Recruiting show. YES! That pick that Derrick Johnson had on the sidelines in the East-West high school all-star game was sweet. And those feet were in-bounds.
7:00 - Commute to work while listening to sports talk show on the radio. Give audible sounds of disgust when caller has difficulty coming up with Cedric Benson's high school yardage total.
8:00 - Conveniently ignore corporate "inappropriate Internet usage" policy and tap into HornFans for an update.
8:30 - Read speculation that Jonathan Scott will secretly visit Florida and act appropriately.
9:00 - Read confirmation with Ray Scott, that the rumors are unfounded. Summon work subordinates and tell them that they are not really fired. Sheepishly ask for help in returning desk to upright position.
9:30 - Listen to member of the company's Quality Control department give up an update on "QC practices". Can't help but think only of Quan Cosby during two-a-days with that kind of label.
10:00 - Chuckle when a co-worker hears you mention last year's Big Three and he thinks you are talking about ABC, CBS, and NBC.
10:30 - Genuflect and present burnt offering to shrine to rpongett in the corner of your office.
11:45 - Hear co-workers at lunch discuss the one person in history that they would like to meet. Unable to think of anyone except texlarry.
12:30 - Remember that Mike Garcia suffered a knee injury this past football season.
1:00 - Hire a small airplane to fly over Galena Park, with a banner reading "Get Well, Mike. The Longhorns Love You!"
1:45 - Remember that grandmother had triple bypass operation last week. Get secretary to find a card to send her.
2:30 - Take a stroll down memory lane and recall the days of paying the gross national product of a second-world country to hear Max Emfinger's rapturous hyperbole about everyone's recruiting classes. Remember penciling in Baylor as the national champion for 5 consecutive years after listening to Max.
3:30 - Chuckle when another co-worker hears you mention the Big Three from last year and he thinks you are talking about Ford, GM, and Chrysler.
4:45 - Consider asking the boss for a big raise. Wonder if Tim Brewster is available to do the schmoozing for you.
5:30 - Begin commute home with a frantic search for Burton or Crabby on the radio dial.
6:30 - Tell mystified wife that your wish for the new year begins and ends with R.C. to still be in place in College Station at the end of the year. A resolution to the California power crisis or peace in the Middle East just don't measure up this time around.
7:15 - Pull out old college calculus textbook and try again to figure out how Mack Brown puts 25 scholarships in a ten-pound bag.
8:00 - See financial report that says the price of oil rose again while the price of citrus fruit has plummeted. Become convinced that Texas recruiting will continue to soar while the Noles and Gators will be sucking wind.
9:00 - While on computer at home, see wife slink in with a low-cut minidress and holding a bottle of wine with two glasses. Develop...er....um....a splitting headache after noticing a post entitled "Quan Cosby to....." from J. Suchomel.
9:30 - Spin the radio dial one last time for a recruiting tidbit. Hear only Max Emfinger on the radio, and decide to swap best souffle recipes with wife while watching a mini-drama on Lifetime TV. Minidress is just a memory, but maybe after Feb. 7.....
9:45 - Wonder about the three famous disappearances that have intrigued mankind: Amelia Earhart, Jimmy Hoffa, and Sure.
10:30 - After pondering all of the Stoops to Ohio State rumors, wonder if Mack Brown would ever take a lateral move - like to secretary-general of the United Nations or other position equivalent to that of head coach for the Longhorns.
10:45 - Remember to tinker with Recruiting Model first developed by Eric96. Superstars with last name Johnson that favor Texas all along do commit to the Horns. Linemen named Young like to look around a bit. Linemen named Warren will never go to Texas. But TE/DE's named Kevin E. do not always necessarily bolt for a Florida school.
11:00 - Fall asleep wondering what tomorrow will bring in the wacky world of Longhorn recruiting.
