Just a reminder
NFL
“I came here ten years ago as a kid from Wisconsin who’d never really been to Texas before,” Watt said in the video. “And now I can’t imagine my life without Texas in it. The way that you guys have treated me, besides draft night. I mean, you guys booed me on draft night. But every day after that, you treated me like family. And I truly feel like you’re my family.”
According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, former NFL wide receiver Vincent Jackson was found dead Monday at a Florida hotel room, days after authorities spoke with him as part of a welfare check. A housekeeper discovered the 38-year-old’s body at around 11:30 am Monday.

They postponed the Dallas Stars and Predators game at A&A. The ice was too cold.
HIGH SCHOOL
The University Interscholastic League evaluates their options for schools in the basketball playoffs affected by severe winter weather.
The girls’ area round and Regional Quarterfinals were Tuesday night, with the Area round set to finish on February 16 and the third round set to take place February 18-20. Boys high school teams had to have their district certification for playoff seeding completed by Tuesday, with their Bi-District playoff games starting on February 18.
With wintery conditions delaying basketball games, UIL will be extending certification deadlines. Once the UIL knows more about when travel conditions will improve, it will communicate extensions to facilitate girls’ basketball playoff rounds and the completion of boys’ basketball district play.
While the UIL does not know how an altered playoff schedule would look, the organization has said it will not use coin flips to decide a game-winner.
Schools that can safely travel and complete games should do so according to the posted certification deadlines. The Championship Round for the girls’ teams is March 5-6. The Boys’ championship games are March 12-13.
They moved some games in the area yesterday to hopefully Friday. Only Mother Nature knows for sure.
