COWBOYS 5-4 (wins-losses)
GO MAVS!!! 2-14 (wins - losses)
Since the last time we talked, we haven't won a game.
The sad thing is, they're better than this!
Our leaders are:
Harrison Barnes, 18.8 points per game (PPG)
Harrison Barnes, 7.1 rebounds per game (RPG)
Dennis Smith, JR., 4.6 assists per game (APG)
J.J. Barea may not be in our leaderboard, but the dude has 11.8 PPG, and gives Smith, Jr. a break when he needs one. Rotating these two guys has been a positive for this team! We just need the rest of our shots to go in the basket!
Go to a game! I need to do the same!
North Texas!!! 7-3 (wins - losses)
I graduated from the University of North Texas.
Not a school best known for it's football program, except for Mean Joe Greene, which is why our school is also called, Mean Green, originally the Eagles (not the Philadelphia kind, ew).
And tonight they are playing Army! A team that is 8-2.
I really wanted to go to this game! I think it will be a great battle and a fun one for a Conference that doesn't get a lot of attention!
From the looks of it - both of these teams could beat some of the bigger schools this year!
Only one more week of College Game Day... then Bowl Games and the National Championship. Crazy how time flies!

Next week is Thanksgiving.
How?
I feel like the leaves just changed colors! And it's still 70 degrees in TX. I want cold weather! Which is why I visited NYC last week. A perfectly crisp 40 degrees. Just what everyone needs in the Fall!
But, no matter where you are, there's shopping to be done. (I work in retail, I know).
We all have a list of "wants" and "needs." For either list, you'll want to get the best price!
Most retailers begin their Black Friday promotions on Wednesday, Nov. 22nd. Remember to use Ebates on top of your Black Friday coupons, on online and in-store purchases.
I recommend that you preview items online, make a list of what you actually should buy, then check back on those items Wed-Monday next week.
If you make a list, it will be easier to not buy things you don't really need, just because "it's a good deal." This is how we get into debt. Not a good thing!
I use an app called Wunderlist. My best friend told me about it years ago. You can even share lists on there with other contacts in your phone.
If you have a running Christmas list for the family, maybe you share it with your husband.
Or a Thanksgiving Dinner list of food items you share between family members?
My friend and I used this to make a list of everything we wanted to do and see in NYC.
I'm not a huge list person, but sometimes being organized is a good thing!!
As for deals... Amazon already has their list out there, of course. Most other websites will be between 25-40% off Wed-Monday.
Monday, Nov. 27th is Cyber Monday. Not everyone does something special on this day, but a few sites may have a slightly deeper discount. The risk you run on popular items is them being out of stock by Monday. Totally up to you if you want to wait and see if the deal sweetens, but my vote is buy it on Wed, Thurs or Fri and call it a day!
Go outside and enjoy the weather!!

Sunday, November 19th
Philadelphia Eagles vs. Dallas Cowboys (home team is second)
7:30 PM CST on NBC
The Cowboys lost because I was out of town. I will never leave again.
Well, a lot has changed this past week...
1. Elliott was officially suspended, he did not play in our loss to Atlanta last week, and we have five more weeks without him. He will make it back for the last two games of the season, his first game back will be on December 24th vs. the Seattle Seahawks. Football wise... I wish he had taken the hit at the beginning of the season, but I know it's a personal decision.
2. Jerry is making headlines, and not in a good way. Between controversial videos and his opposition of the NFL Commissioner, Rodger Goodell, we're getting a lot of negative press. Jerry is known for his marketing skills, so hopefully he can silence the crowds and get back to football. For those of you who know him as the Cowboys Owner, he is also the GM (General Manager) - the only Owner and GM in the league.
3. Sean Lee is injured again, hamstring. Jeff Heath is injured, concussion. Maliek Collins is injured, foot. None of these guys are expected to play vs. the Eagles. These are all Defensive Players. We will need a strong Defense if we plan to beat the 8-1 Eagles!
What have we learned so far?
#1 - Character and accountability. Take ownership of your actions. Defend them if necessary. Accept the penalty. Game Plan for how to move forward.
#2 - Leadership, not pride. Those are two very different things. Going back to character and accountability. We may need a GM that isn't our Owner. We all need checks and balances in our lives. Even those of us at the very top.
#3 - How are we going to beat the Eagles? I'm glad you asked!
Carson Wentz.
Y'all, you know how much I love to not like the Eagles! Like, I do NOT like the Eagles. It's as close to hating a team as I've come in my life. Especially with my lovely experience at the NFL draft in 2006 with a few Eagles fans. But, Carson Wentz is such a good dude. I mean, like you can't not like him.
Does that mean I want their Sophmore QB to beat our Sopmhore QB, Dak Prescott, no. I want to believe we can win. However, we have a lot going against us right now.
The Eagles Offense is firing on all cylinders, Carson Wentz has thrown for over 2,000 yards. Our busted up D will need to play lights out for all four quarters! Anthony Hitchens is replacing Sean Lee. Big shoes to fill, but he has to do it! It's time for a lot of second and third string guys to step up against the top team in the NFC East!
The Eagles top to receivers are their TE (tight end) Zach Ertz and their WR (wide receiver) Alshon Jeffery. Jeffery has an ankle injury, but still plans to play Sunday night.
"I'll see your Zach Ertz and raise you a Jason Witten."
Dak Prescott - We need our QB to be protected. Tyron Smith is injured, groin. His absence allowed Prescott to get sacked 8 times last week. Help!! We need this guy to have more time in the pocket, like he's used to!
Who will replace Elliot this week?
Me.
Just kidding.
The same three guys who played RB (running back) last week will play this week.
Alfred Morris
Rod Smith
Darren McFadden
But we will need more from our WR's and TE's to get the job done. Dak will continue to get sacked if he doesn't have a pass option.
"They" keep saying that playing without a guy like Elliott, and I would even argue Murray three years ago, doesn't change the game plan. But It Does. Having a running back like Elliot takes a toll on the opposing teams Defense, mentally. Knowing that he's not there gives them a big advantage, it's called confidence.
The Eagles Defense is ranked #1 against the run and #23 against the pass. They are ranked 9th in the league in total D. We HAVE to take advantage of the passing game and get guys down the field. Do you hear me Dez? Do your job!
Do we get the W this week? Or do we become a 5-5 team and get ready for our big Thanksgiving game vs. Los Angeles Chargers?
