While the Rabid Puppies were definitely block voting, the Sad Puppies
appeared to be different. Either there were secret puppies with their
own nominations lists (which overlapped the Sad Puppy list) or many of
the Sad Puppies were only nominating works that they had read. If the
latter was the case, while they could be accused of ungood literary
taste, was this block voting?

I am going to take my 86 year old father to go see our Aggies beat the hell out of Texas University on Saturday.

 A friend of mine put both kids through A&M (one in Mech Eng), and his
ex-wife got her degree from Texas. He is very much rooting for the same result you are.
 

Or, maybe he is taking me since he got the tickets.

 This is the first year we didn't get season tickets since 1988. It was always fun to do, but turning a 7-8 hour commitment with 100K+ people (and all that entails) into a 3-4 hour commitment in the comfort of my home has gone pretty well.

My Dad buys tickets every year.  He has armchair tickets halfway up the second deck at the 30 yard line.  Great seats.
I got a degree in Mechanical Engineering from TAMU in 1982 with a minor in Chemical Engineering and a minor in math.
