Let's face it uketm r when you deal with human beings, you're talking Mr. Uncertainty. A touchdown here, a fumble there, a win here, a loss there — what's it all add up to? A meaningless thing called a record. So one team is 1-8 and another's 9-1, my grandmother's rugby team is 10-2. It's meaningless until you look at the schedule. The long and short of it is that these records do have a big effect on the guys who do the football rankings. Week in, week out, they put the teams with the best records up at the top and just filter down until they get 20. How hard is that? A moron could do the AP rankings. And that's another thing that bothers me — the Associated Press. Just who are they associated with? Commie pinko journalists? All 1 know is my phone isn't ringing off the hook with invitations to bigtime sports journalist get-togethers. Nobody told me about BTSJ cook—out in Dallas. And they never ask me to pick the top teams. Worse yet, the coaches bring their poll the next day and it's only obvious they just copy, maybe switching numbers 16 and 17 just to look official. Well if those associated pinkos ever asked me who the best in nation is, I'd tell them straight off it's our own Fightin' Rice Owls. Sure their 1-8 record doesn't point the way to top ranking, but a few lucky breaks against SMU, Arkansas, Tech, TCU, and A&M would have made the school talk Cotton.

Goodner. If the amendments pass, Goodner foresees "a string of amendments expanding this." He is concerned that the addition may lead to discrimination by perception. "By creating more classifications, there could be a negative backlash, HE similar to what happened with quotas." As a realtor, Goodner is concerned that the Fair Housing Act might be next on his opposition's list. However, the core of Goodner's objection seems to be his belief that the issue did not receive enough debate. In this sense, Goodner is pleased that the voters of Houston will decide. The campaigns of the two groups will be waged mostly through the media, though debates have already been held. On November 11, Goodner and Greanias confronted each other, and at Texas Southern University on November 13, Goodner and a minister squared off against Hall and a gay The Houston City Council lawyer. More debates are being planned, but the true test of this campaign will be defining the issue those involved must not let the referendum in this election are high, but so are the unknowable — what does the referendum mean?
