Attention Texas writers ...

i read right over that the first time and never took it for the kick in the balls that it was.

 

Dick.

 

But I had an actual response. Dick.
I lied, I am rooting for the Phillies only.
Anyway, this thread has an actual point and I am curious if the books are still for sale, what with football starting in less than 72 hours.

 

god damn do i ever feel stupid now.

 

This is a great idea, and I don't even live in Texas anymore. Unique product, huge potential audience.

Word to Mr. Waller---when you are doing short print runs, like your 20 demo copies, there are much less expensive ways to get book printed than $21 a pop. Find an on-demand printer like Lightning Source out of Tennessee that will do it for about a half of that.

Best wishes with the book!

I'm a Canadian where hs football games routinely get 75-100 spectators.

I'm mystified about Texas hs football but I instinctively "get" the idea. .

More impressive however is the work involved.

Congrats

 

i'm not being a wiseass when i say you do not "instinctively get the idea." those people are freaks, period. you have to see it in person and then you walk away simply shaking your head. fucking freaks.

 

Oh, I just compare it to hockey in small town Ontario.

 

Junior hockey is probably a good comparison based on the stories I've heard from my Alaskan and Canadian friends.

 

You've never lived until you've been to a game in some little 2A Texas town, where the number of people in the stands outnumber the population of both towns involved. It really is a sight to behold.

They take their football seriously down here. Whole towns will shut down on a Friday night. No joke.

 

The field I walked on covering my first high school game in Texas made the field I played on in college look like a county landfill. The money they pour into facilities (and coaches' salaries) there ...
