I would have given the Dope more advance notice if I had known, but literally, I just found out. My mom’s neighbor saw me in an ad this afternoon.

The episode is titled “Messing with Texas,” and it airs tonight (Saturday) on H2 (channel 271 on DirecTV). I am defending the honor of my alma mater, The University of Texas versus that other school in College Station. Airtime is 10e/9c.

Thanks **Bark**! I have purposely not spoiled the outcome but I have made two comments:

[ol]  
[li]The Texas-A&M rivalry is so ridiculously lopsided one win or loss either way won’t really matter.[/li][li]I don’t think I embarrassed the brand too badly, and my opponent and I actually got along - she’s a nice gal.[/li][/ol]

I will say it was hot as Hades on the Cotton Bowl field that September day…

A quick lookup shows reruns 11/30 at 11:02pm and later at 3:03am on History (and HistoryHD).
