Til Gabriel Blows His Horn

Why do I care about the Texas Longhorn (American) football team? I'm not sure, but part of the reason is that I think Vince Young is incredibly talented. It's too bad that there has to be so much gross culture associated with college football. It is so sexist with the heavily made up, scantily clad, always smiling cheerleaders contrasted with the frat boys and various cowboy-hat wearing, cannon-firing militia groups oozing with misdirected and often foolish machismo. Then there's the over-paid Coach Brown and over-funded athletics in general.

Still, the game is fun to watch - full of suspense and athletic eye candy. And I do feel connected to my alma mater (I am still paying someone who bought my debt from someone else who paid for my education there). So I was glad to see us beat the backwards, George Bush library scum-bucket Aggies. And it's pretty exciting that we have a shot at a national championship this year. Any Longhorns in SF wanna watch the game?
