Hook 'Em, Horns!

Slightly belated congratulations to the Texas Longhorns for taking down Michigan in the Rose Bowl this weekend, and doing so in a helluva finish.

Although not a native, I grew up in Texas. Everybody in the state has a loyalty to one of the bigger football programs and our family's was always to UT. Since I went to small Division III schools that set the standard for amateur athletics, when it comes to college ball I never gave up rooting for the 'Horns. Well done, indeed.

And speaking of Texas football loyalties, as if the Rose Bowl win against a school that thoroughly deserved it wasn't sweet enough, I was also delighted to see the Texas A&M Aggies get crushed in the Cotton Bowl. [Insert Nelson Muntz "HA-ha!" here.]

As an Arkansas alum, I wanted them both to lose. It's tough when the Aggies play the Longhorns. Can they tie at negative 7 each in some manner?

I don't know what the hell is going on: in the span of a few weeks, Bush beat Kerry like a rented mule, Arafat and Susan Sontag went the way of all flesh, Daschle was run out of office on a rail, Dan Rather watched as his career of lies and weirdness was dismantled by bloggers, the Aggies lost the Cotton Bowl, then on New Year's Day, Texas won the Rose Bowl.

Somebody get me a lottery ticket -- I'm on fire, baby!
