Not sure....but if it has it was before my time. We'll see if we can do it though! I also have confidence our defense will keep USC at bay. Boy can't wait....the most exciting time since Ricky Williams and it reminds my dad of the Earl Campbell days.

This is turning out to be a great year for the Longhorns. If we beat your AP #1 Duke it'll be the first time in our school history.
See that you got your M -Aero Kit! Nice, nice, nice!

[/quote]Yep, the Earl, the Tyler Rose, era. My wife and I disagreed on what we were going to watch on TV when Earl's first game, with the, then, Houston Oilers, was to be broadcast. So, I went out and bought a nice "portable" for the bedroom. On Earl's first play, he catches a short pass and goes for a TD. Nice start.

BMW Club Finland arranges winter driver traning courses every winter.
To get a Finnish drivers license one also needs to go thru fase 2, which
means driving on slippery surface, in the summertime this means driving on a
oily track.
This doesn't mean that you have to come over here, but you must have
some courses in the US as well.
Maybe you should call you local AAA or something.
I have been driving on lakes and the sea since I was about 10 years old,
and you guessed it right - in the winter time.
Practice makes the master!
Gook luck and be careful when it's slippery - easy does it!

Tachyon - I should have never doubted Duke basketball...you whooped us today. Looks like history was NOT made.
Ricracing - One day I want to learn how to drive in the snow/ice (my wife can and she always makes fun of me for it), but considering it only happens once or twice a year in Texas I might just want to stay home next time.
