this was great on friday. no, really.

It Hit the Fan (from the Austin-American Statesman)

A member of the Texas A&M Parsons Mounted Cavalry was detained by police for shovelling some horse excrement up into the stands where the Longhorn Band was sitting.

Longhorn Band director Robert Carnochan, Royal-Memorial Stadium public address announcer Bob Cole and a drum major were soiled by the flying feces. A officer in the A&M Corps of Cadets grabbed the student, who was then escorted out by police.

"They came up and asked us if we wanted to press charges,'' said Cole, who said his coat was dirtied by the student. "We told them no, but I heard they were going to charge him with assault anyway.''

Cole said the Corps officer and many other Texas A&M officials apologized for the incident.

i think seeing that kid get yelled at, and then watching him come back ten minutes later to personally clean it up while the band booed, was worth the price of admission alone. oh yeah, good game too.

i've slept like a champ this weekend-12 hours last night (which NEVER happens to me, but wow was i tired), and putting some more hours on the clock starting about five minutes from now...
