"Wrinkles only go where the smiles have been."
-- Jimmy Buffett

People are shocked when they find out I actually like watching sports. I'm the biggest girly-girl in the world. I'm NOT athletic. I preferred faking sick to get out of gym or recess so I could read instead.

However, I was born and raised to love the Dallas Cowboys and the Dallas Mavericks, and I always will.

In college, I became a HUGE Mustangs football fan, despite our numerous losses. (If you didn't see "Pony Express" which was part of ESPN's 30 of 30, you should watch it. AMAZING documentary about the history of Mustangs football and the death penalty.) I wasn't a fair-weather fan and stuck by my team... and now we're improving more each and every year, thanks to the guidance of June Jones. I graduated two years ago, and still watch every game. The days of the death penalty are over, and I'm eager to see what we'll accomplish in 2011. I truly believe one day we'll be back on top... I just hope I'm not gray by that time.

Dirk will probably always be my favorite player of any sport, and I root for nobody as much as I root for him.

When I'm a fan of something, I'm a FAN. And like any good Texan, my teams are my religion.
