See that loss to Baylor? 30-22. Ouch. I'll take losses to Bama, LSU, and MSU over losses to Oklahoma, UCLA, Iowa State, and Baylor any day.
Since I live in Texas, I am going to have the best day at the office on Monday. Now if the Cowboys can lose against Jacksonville, I can really dig into these people. Texans are so friggin' annoying when they gloat. I never gloat when the Gators win, yet these people have no compunction about gloating on a win and whining at a loss.
Note: I predicted the entire BCS game with Texas and Alabama, from the Texas beatdown to the injury to McCoy. That shut these guys up until the Gators lost three in a row. Now I have some ammo on them, at least until our next loss.
Another team that's suppose to be better than it is. Maybe they should put Colt's brother as QB.
THAT, only more so for me here in Austin. I'm rooting for the Giants in the World Series, too. These arrogant yahoos have made me this way. (Like you, I NEVER gloated when the Gators were riding high--I commiserated with their tough losses, tried to be gracious--but you know how it is here; they take all that as GIVEN, we all just secretly want to be Texans, doncha kno'? I have waited, CAN'T WAIT for the day we finally can BEAT THEIR ASSES in a Nat'l Championship Game...)
I'm in San Antonio. I did not realize you were in Austin until now. I am also rooting for the Giants, and anyone playing the Cowboys.
Two more years until the military can move me back east closer to home.
Well, it's nice to get some perspective. The "big three" football programs--Florida, Texas, and USC--are all having down years, but one of us will be in a bowl game and without NCAA sanctions. Not bad.
Wow, you've really got this "finding-the-silver-lining"-thing DOWN, man...Still, better not to find ourselves in that sort of company, searching for that kind of consolation in the first place, no?
Anyway, to be honest, I am a LOT more excited about the outcome of this last regular-season rivalry game than I'm likely to be about whatever also-ran-bowl game we end up playing in--where the main consideration is that we get another month of meaningful preparation PLUS the pre-game practice routine leading up to it. NOT having that is a significant loss, a real disadvantage heading into the spring.
