Hook em Horns!

The odds are stacked against us. USC has won 34 games in a row, they are the reigning national champs, they have the two most recent Heisman trophy winners, and some say they could be the best college football team of all time. But dang it, I believe. Underdogs win all the time and I believe the Horns are going to do it tonight. During a local break on Kidd's show this morning I said Texas 34, USC 31 and I'm sticking to it. Oh, and did you catch Kidd's prediction four minutes later on the national network? He said, "Texas by a field goal in a high-scoring game." Prediction stealer.

I loved what Mack Brown said yesterday. He said a lot of teams might try to be something they are not once they get to this level (I suppose to show that they can pull out all the stops and please the critics) but the Horns believe they can win by being who they are and by being true to the form that they have been successful with all season long. I love the just-be-you attitude. A philosophy to live by from Mack Brown. Be you, Horns! Just don't turn the ball over.

The Horns won the Rose Bowl last year in that huge comeback win over Michigan, and I remember Vince Young saying at that point that they would be back for the national championship this year. Defending Rose Bowl champs. They must be so pumped. I am too. Game on!
