The cell phone buzzed just as the Aggies left the
football field with a 31-14 lead over South Carolina last season.
My wife, Irma, was calling from Nashville.
“You bought a table, right?” she asked.
I did not.
She seemed exasperated. She started speaking in Spanish. I don’t speak Spanish, but idiota sounded familiar.
Last year a College Station furniture company offered a complete refund on items sold during game week if the underdog Aggies defeated ninth-ranked South Carolina by 10 points. I’d expressed so much confidence in an Aggies victory that Irma instructed me to purchase a new dining table.
