Cowboys Win. It started weird, with special teams and defense contributing more points wise, and new kicker Brandon Aubrey shanking his first extra point. But then it settled into all-phases domination, still mostly driven by defense but pretty much all over, leading to a 40-0 season-opening W. Mike McCarthy actually pulled Dak Prescott early in the fourth, too. So maybe it’s different this year?? I don’t know. (Between this and the UT win over Bama, I haven’t felt this good about football since I don’t know when.) Anyway, more on this all week over on StrongSide.
Huge Pileup Shuts Down I-30 Saturday. This video shows 28 cars. It happened just before 8 a.m. and had the eastbound side of the highway closed until early afternoon.

Should Be Cooler This Week. A bit of rain mixed in there, also. We are not quite to fool’s fall yet, and we still will have to deal with summer (reprise), but we are making some headway.
