The Holiday Bowl

This is historically a crazy game.  It involves my beloved Longhorns so I might need to double up on my blood pressure meds tonight (or get really drunk).  My Longhorns have fallen from grace because we cannot find a decent quarterback to our shame.  We will feature two QBs tonight: a freshman (David Ash) and a sophomore (Case, I'm no Colt, McCoy).  Between them we have, well, a bad QB.  We are getting our two freshman running backs back from injury, but our best player, Fozzy Whitaker, is gone for the season because the University of Missouri is too cheap to put in a decent field turf at their university.  We play Cal, who unfortunately for us, seems to have a strength at running defense.  On paper this should be a boring, low scoring affair.  But it's the Holiday Bowl and weird things happen in San Diego.  Too bad Tim still doesn't live there because I could be there tonight if he did.  But no, he's in Charlotte.  I guess I could have gone to the Belk Bowl.  Tomorrow, I guess I could go to the Alamo Bowl.  I would but I hate Baylor (for reasons I will write about tomorrow or tonight).  Anyway, I hope my Longhorns win.  I'm ready for the fun.  Most of us picked Texas except for RC (thanks), Chris and Margaret (Californians who live rather close to Berkley - ok I guess) and Moriah (Tim, get a hold of your child!).
