What's happening in the Lone Star state?

They say there are two seasons in Texas — football and spring football.

Maybe that has expanded. Maybe football has — believe it or not — taken a back seat.

Last June the Dallas Mavericks celebrated an NBA championship, their first in franchise history.

And the Texas Rangers are on the verge of making it back-to-back appearances in the World Series. If they make it, they would be favored over either National League representative, St. Louis or Milwaukee.

Football? The Dallas Cowboys are so-so with a 2-2 record (heading into a game against New England) while the University of Texas just got blown out by Oklahoma and Texas A&M is nothing to right home about.

Have basketball and baseball taken over in the Lone Star state? Say it isn't so, but this year maybe they have.

Good stuff as per usual, thanks. I do hope this kind of thing gets more exposure.
