In-Vince-ible

I won't pretend to be a huge football fan. I only root for Texas when they are playing out-of-staters or occasionally the Raiders. But last night I about had a heart attack watching the Rose Bowl! What a game! WOW!!! Rob was laughing at me getting so into the game. I was hollering at the TV, gasping every time Texas missed a first down and mentally willing Vince Young to run those last yards to a National Championship...And he did! AMAZING! Congratulations to all the true Texas fans in my life, including the one snoring The Eyes of Texas across the room! I am so happy for Mack Brown and all his staff and players. Texas never gave up and that is why they won. After a long drought, Texas is finally home to the National Champions. HOOK"EM HORNS!!!
Now if the Cowboys could only get a quarterback like Vince Young... Maybe I'm a closet football fan after all! :)

and at last there was a championship game that was worthy. But by having on a "school night" I had to leave it in the 3rd quarter! What were they thinking??

A great game! I will admit, as rabid a college football fan as I am, that I am glad for a break. Staying up until midnight watching games is starting to get to me!

Although I am not a huge UT fan (unlike Bryon) I was happy they beat USC.

USC was getting dangerously close to beating Alabama's record of 30 bowl game wins. (USC is 2nd with 28 wins.)

Crashed in the third, too - but I LOVE a great football game (and the players!)
