Two best things about last night's Alamo Bowl?
1. Watching Penn State beat Texas A&M.
2. Josh Beckett in boots.
Our favorite Aggie (which is really saying something, considering my well-documented aversion to them) was once again on the sidelines of a Texas A&M football game, but this time there's video. And he's wearing boots.
You might recall that I expressed my displeasure when he showed up to the Texas game wearing an A&M hat- thankfully he chose to wear a Herradura Ranch ballcap this time instead. Dressed in full Texan regalia (Wranglers, ostrich boots, big ol' belt buckle and Pat Green shirt), ESPN cut to Josh several times in the broadcast-- and since Doug Flutie was in the broadcast booth, this also meant we got a little Red Sox talk as well... on air during a football game. In Texas. Between schools from PA and TX. Awesome.
The boots in question
Here's video of the Beckett and Sox segments: (one note: when Flutie mentions that "Pony" was wearing a Red Sox shirt, he's referring to ESPN broadcaster Craig James- who was a standout QB at SMU (mascot: Mustangs, also called the Pony Express or Ponies)... apparently even that die-hard Texan Craig James owns property in Mass. and was sporting a Red Sox shirt in San Antonio yesterday)

I've been checking in all day since you left that message!! I missed the first cut to Beckett cos i was watching the Pats game..thank goodness for another poster on the SG chat...they saw him and I switched over. I love those boots! And I'm wondering where he's gonna spend New Years Eve...Kevin Fowler is gonna be in Ft Worth. I think Pat Green is having to cancel his concerts cos of medical reasons...George Strait is next and there IS a concert coming up soon here in Austin.
thanks for the mention. And I sorta liked the Aggie hat better but hey he's gotta do some promoting his ranch I guess :)
