An open letter.....

Dear Al Gore

Thank you for inventing the World Wide Web.

It can be called nothing less then miraculous when a TCU alumnus, far from home in a foreign land, can enter in the search term "Versus TV Channel," and find a random web site streaming the channel live. Even more miraculous is that the day the TCU fan found the web site, it was in the second half of a truly historic game with Boise State, on their horrid, horrid blue field.

To be able to see the final drive, and the courageous two point conversion while it was occurring and yet be so far away at the same time will go down in your list of accomplishments alongside the Nobel Peace Prize, the Oscar award, and winning the popular vote in the 2000 presidential elections. I am sure when Gary Patterson talks about the Frogs' 36-35 win he will include you in the list of names to receive a game ball.

SIDENOTE: Should anyone have information on the birthplace of the line judge that threw the flag on 4th and 10 for pass interference I would like to know. I have a feeling he grew up eating potatoes with every meal.

I will wear my purple with pride today, and eat chips (the Aussies' version of fries) with every meal this week. I can confidently support their only in-state industry knowing that we have crushed them where it matters most.

Al Gore, I recycle today in your honor sir.

Sincerely,

Jeff Harrell

Go Frogs!
