PostSCRIPT
Last weekend was wild
and woolly for college foot-
ball, particularly for those
teams ranked in the Top
10. It seems to be all part
of today’s landscape, where
greedy offenses are giving
the blue bloods fits. Forget
the Horns and Sooners, this
weekend’s biggest game
in Texas is in Waco where
TCU and Baylor meet. And
I fully expect Texas A&M
to further muddy the SEC
West waters by beating Ole
Miss in College Station.

HUNTS-
VILLE - A
former Rio
Grande Val-
ley construc-
tion worker
walked out
of prison
Wednesday,
nearly six
years after being sent to Texas’
death row for the fatal beating
of his girlfriend’s young son.
Manuel Velez was allowed
to be paroled after pleading no
contest to a lesser charge of
injury to a child. His attorneys
insist he is innocent in the 2005
death of Angel Moreno a day
before the boy’s first birthday.
An appeals court threw out
Velez’s death sentence two
years ago because of faulty
testimony at his 2008 trial in
Cameron County.
“I’m very happy being free,
thanks to you guys,” Velez, 49,
said after receiving hugs from
his legal team outside the Texas
Department of Criminal Jus-
tice Huntsville Unit. “In the
beginning I was mad, because I

that suggested that Abbott was
an enemy of women — especial-
ly because of his legal defense
of the state’s new abortion law
that forced the closure of all
but seven of the state’s abortion
clinics last week. They chanted,
“Greg Abbott, you lie, you don’t
care if women die.”
