There are moments in life that become touchstones, reference points for both the past and the future, against which all other experiences must be measured and evaluated. Perhaps the birth of a firstborn, or the death of a loved one would qualify... Or perhaps the biggest catch in Longhorn football history. Any attempt to articulate in words the glory of that play would be an exercise in futility. Suffice it to say that in my 22 years of life, the tears have never flown so freely as at that blessed moment in time.
God bless Texas.

Hooray for a win. Hooray for one of the greatest wins I've seen. But please, lay off Sweed's junk! The man only caught half (if that many) of the passes thrown to him. I want better than %50 from our recievers if they are to get praise. The real praise should go to our Defense. I mean two turnovers that should have killed us rendered ineffective; and a safety. But we won! And that fixes everything. So we get to keep Greg Davis (fuck!)
Lay off the Sweed and GD bashing. Suprisingly, Greg called a good game against great competition (I mean its been years since I've seen Texas run the five wide), and while I don't expect Limas to become the next Roy, an occasional flash of Williamsesque brilliance will more than suffice. He did in fact do the most with a bubble screen I've seen since Roy left.
I have no idea what a bubble screen is, but I'll lay off Sweed. As for GD Greg Davis, I just like the irony that our Defense seems to be keeping our Offensive coordinator employed.
Eh never mind, rewatched the game and it was like a 7 yard out.
That catch didn't go over too well here in Columbus. I moved here two years ago. These people are fanatics. According to the Columbus Dispatch, Ryan Hamby is getting "hate" mail because of the ball he juggled/had jarred loose in the end zone.
It was a fun game to watch.
Yeah, I heard about that hate mail... talk about crazy. I also read about a thousand emails Horns fans sent to the Statesman about how completely beligerent and downright classless a good chunk of the students were. Fanaticism is one thing, complete disrespect is another. I hope we're a little more gracious as hosts next year.
