The Univ. of Texas football program just finished the proving part of their season in convincing way. They just polished-off Texas A&M, 26-13, in a finalized enough state to grandly yell-out to the BCS for an at-large bid.

Hey 'ya'll !'

Texas coach Mack Brown almost seems in some sort of political running and asks, "If you've got a vote, vote for us." Brown continues his starting of the horse-race strategy in saying, "I'm asking you to do that and I'm asking everyone across the nation. This team deserves to be in the BCS."

Was it Bush/Cheney in the last political olympics, or Bush/Brown?

Texas' nemesis, you ask?

In the AP Poll, (#4-BCS) California and (#5-AP) Utah are still standing in the way of the Longhorns. Utah leads Texas (10-1) in the AP by the slighest of margins (17 points) for 5th place. While 5th place could conceivably be big for UT as many suggest, it, in my opinion, likely will not be enough unless Cal loses or goes real sour in a last-week victory. Cal has an .8504 to .8301 lead over UT in the BCS. That is A.K.A. for: A LOT at this time of the year.

Texas currently resides in the #5 BCS and the #6 AP Poll positions, with all stated.

Their only hiccup from being in the biggest game within the land perhaps? Oklahoma, in a 12-0 game. No wonder the Longhorns and Sooners dislike one-another...

Dec. 4th, Cal plays their final game (a Hurricane postponement) at a mediocre Southern Miss (5-4). If you are a Longhorns fan, don't look for much optimism in the Golden Eagles getting by this Bears team of Cal.

Does a blind squirrel find a nut every one-in-while?

Sure.

Texas doesn't even have any squirrels here unless the college football world caves-in via the surprise of a Southern Mississippi Hurricane. The Univ. of Texas Longhorns will play in a nice Bowl game, however.

Congrats to the Texas Longhorn football program for the Hanging-in-there Award!
