One of those things is the chimichanga. The other is Pat Green and his self-described brand of "baseball cap country."

The Ole Miss theatre department presents Chicago on stage October 2, 3, and 4 in the Fulton Chapel. arts, etc. 9/24/03 Kat Gordon http://www.tnsoxford.com/news/2003/09/24/ArtsEtc/ Other http://www.tnsoxford.com/news/2003/09/24/ArtsEtc/Open-Range.Proves.Costner.Can.Do.A.Good.Movie.That.Isnt.About.Baseball-475635.shtml If you haven't yet had a chance to see Kevin Costner's Open Range, pack 'em up and 'git. The title vaguely hints at the fact that this movie is a western, which is a relatively rare genre nowadays. This film manages to stir that stagnant water very well. Starring Costner, Annette Benning and the legendary Robert Duvall, as well as a host of recognizables, Open Range starts out with a great deal of talent at its disposal. arts, etc. 9/24/03 Beau Johnson http://www.tnsoxford.com/news/2003/09/24/ArtsEtc/ Other http://www.tnsoxford.com/news/2003/09/24/ArtsEtc/To.Hell.With.Foreman.Fry.Up.Your.Favorite.Foods-475627.shtml The temperature is finally cooling down, so it ís time to get hot in the kitchen.

Apparently, there isn't much to do in West Texas, but they love their football. They aren't bad at playing the game either.

Webster defines upset as "the unlikely taking place, something unexpected". But, in the world of college football, is there truly such a thing as an upset?
