Not a Texas fan -- I lived in College Station for a year and had a Tshirt that said, "Eat more beef, butcher Bevo" --but I was glad to see them beat Wisconsin's huge Big 10 rival.

As for OU .... I had the misfortune of having to go to work at night in downtown Dallas before the Texas-OU game at the Cotton Bowl. There I was, walking to the bus stop, wearing a red jacket that said "CMSU Aviation" (Central Missouri State), and I nearly got lynched because I was wearing red. One snide drunk guy said, "well, CLEARLY you're an OU fan." I said, "I'm a Missouri fan and I think you BOTH suck." And then I ran.

What I've never forgotten about that night, though, is how packed the streets were. My bus actually had to drive on the SIDEWALK because there was no room on the street!

Sorry, faye, but the only good thing that ever came out of my TX experience was my son. I've worked hard to forget the rest of it. And I think I'll root for USC.
