Equal Opportunity

Since I've probably pissed off some Aggies tonight, I wouldn't want to neglect the Longhorns and their faithful.

Callie sent me this link earlier. It seems that not everyone in Austin even is ready to hand over the national championship to Mack "Mr. Football" Brown:

Every year, the procession of blaring trumpets and tossed burnt orange garlands heralding the Texas Longhorns' upcoming national championship season begins earlier and earlier.

This, though the team hasn't won a national football title since 1970 or long enough ago for many University of Texas fans to have lost most of their teeth.

This month, Texas Monthly magazine proclaimed the Horns this fall's No. 1 team with a cover photo of UT quarterback Chris Simms standing between Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman.

No offense to Simms, but that's like posing Vanilla Ice with Ray Charles and Mick Jagger.

Hmm.... it's good to see that other people are picking up on that ridiculous Texas Monthly cover.
