The great state of Tex-afornia

Minor League Hockey

Last night we celebrated a friends' b-day with a trip to the Fort Worth, Brahamas game. There must have been close to 6 hundred people there which made the crowd extra slim. The cool thing was that we were able to get seats next to the glass, so we were up close to the action. The funny thing about minor league sports is that they make their money on advertising so every power play is sponsored and every penalty minute is sponsored.

Usually it goes something like this, "There is 3:42 seconds left in the period with the Brahma's down two goals. If the goalie saves three shots on goal in the next 3 minutes and seventeen seconds, then every fan in attendence will win a free side of queso from Taco Hut. That is the Taco Hut Queso Goalie Pro-formance of the game."

I admit that I admire a guy who can spend his time playing a sport he loves for little money and in front of small crowds. These guys aren't the best athletes out there but they have heart and that makes them fun to watch...plus there was a cool fight that lasted a long time.
