TEXAS LONGHORNS
win College Football National Championship!
Get the picture?!!
I just realized I haven't sent a virtual yee-haw out about Texas winning the National Championship at the Rose Bowl! Just like all the other UT fans around the country, my heart rose and sank and anxiously beat throughout the Rose bowl game last Wednesday (can it only be a few days ago?). And, like all the other fans, I jumped and screamed and hugged and hi-fived and hook'emed when Vince ran in for the winning touchdown at 19 seconds left to play.
Thank goodness something is backing up my Texas pride up here in Yankee land. Tonight someone asked me why there is such Texas pride.... I was kind of at a loss. Why wouldn't there be? We're big, we're special, we were our own country at one point in history, we are the reason Six Flags is called six flags... what more do you need? ;P
As far as University of Texas school pride, I can't say exactly how or why that happens, at least to the extent it does, or if it happens more than at any other university. I just know I was born and raised in Austin, so as the saying goes, I bleed orange. Personally, I think the traditions, programs, and alumni and respect garnered for all those are part of what makes THE University so great. As Walter Cronkite says on the UT "commercial," WE'RE TEXAS. What happens here changes the world."
Enough explaining. Under the circumstances, some choice words will do.
TEXAS FIGHT!
The Eyes of Texas Are Upon YOU!
Texas, our Texas, all hail the mighty state. 0.
Hook'em.
What color is your blood?

YEE-HAW! Indeed. That was the best game of football I've seen in ages! Maybe in a lifetime. Vince is amazing.
Got your phone message, burger! But I haven't had a chance to call back yet. We aren't allowed to use our phones, pretty much everywhere.
Oh! And thanks for the Christmas card! Talk to you soon! --amy
