The Texas Bowl

Oh now I'm going to find her, for my heart is full of woe,

And we'll sing the songs togeather [sic], that we sung so long ago

We'll play the bango gaily, and we'll sing the songs of yore,

And the Yellow Rose of Texas shall be mine forevermore. [Chorus]

You can cover up "yellow" and you can cover up "rose" buddy buddy, but you better not cover up "Texas"! Or I'll take my snare drum and secede from the band!

TEXAS plays Arkansas. I have been watching the marathons of Texas versus Arkansas football games on Longhorn Network all week. Earl Campbell's awesomeness, the 1987 Bret Stafford to Tony Jones game (I was a freshman at a sports bar - heaven!), and of course the 1969 Nixon game. Did you know that Analicia and I were hired to be extras for a movie called My All American this summer that is based on the story of Freddy Steinmark who played in the Nixon game? We got paid about a hundred bucks to play fans at the game. Ana got picked to run on the field in the ending celebration scene. Watch for it on the big screen! (or DVD) 

Texas stinks. We have a quarterback who should not be playing. He is actually from Whitewright, Texas. (My grandparents lived there.) His name is Tyrone Swoopes. He tries hard. Our defense is better, but if our offense cannot score it does not matter. Arkansas plays a ball control offense. They have two awesome running backs. They have a good defense. This should be a victory for the Hogs, but.... Their coach did this yesterday...

Do you see what he is doing (he's the tall guy)? That's a horns down sign while shaking hands with our coach Charlie Strong! That jerk! We hate that! Everybody does that when they play against us. It's classless and makes us mad. GGGRRRRRRRR.... Down with the Hogs.
