During the regular season, I'm a homer for the local team. But when any team from Texas is on the national stage in a championship series, my state pride trumps all. That's why, even though my heart is with the Aggies, I was so joyous when the otherwise dreaded Longhorns took it to USC in the 2006 Rose Bowl.
I sure hope my prediction is dead wrong. Feel free to jump on me mercilessly with "I told you so" in a few hours! For tonight's game I want to have the accuracy of Dick Morris.
Jump on you? No way...we might well have to mourn together. ;)
I rooted for the Longhorns as well, and I’m a Techie fan. So I totally get where you are coming from.
