LONGHORN FOOTBALL

HOW BOUT DEM LONGHORNS!!!!!

As you may know by now, unless you've been living under a rock, the Texas Longhorns pulled off a big upset win against the mighty old USC Trojans. A 41-38 win, to be precise. And boy was it an exciting game. It is the reason, the very reason, I quit watching football a long time ago. Some might not understand the amount of emotion that fans pour into every game their team plays. And when you have games like this, games that are the reason they played all those other games, well, you might begin to understand how emotionally charged this game was. In the last two minutes of this game, I could not stop shaking. I hadn't been this bad since John Elway and the Broncos won the Super Bowl. That time I cried. This time I didn't. When that pass flew over the receivers head and I read the 0:00 on the clock and the Longhorn team started pouring out onto the field, I leapt into the air and gave a shout. Inside, I was bursting with joy. The reason I didn't cry during this game, I suppose, was because in the Super Bowl game, Elway had been retiring and he needed that ring. And he got it. Well-deserved. In this UT vs. USC game, there was less personal involvement. It was more the UT program against the USC program. But I can't handle this emotion, especially when it's over football teams. It's just too exhausting. And when it doesn't pay off, it's devastating. Imagine if the Longhorns had lost! But they didn't.

P.S. Vince Young is incredible, invinceable, and impossible to deny. Without a doubt, without him, the Longhorns would have lost.
