For me though, I'm happy we'll have Texas A&M and Arkansas back on the schedule, while also maintaining the annual game against OU. And then the thought of sprinkling in some games against LSU, Georgia, Florida, and Alabama, makes for a lot of fun. I'm just going to have to get to the point where I can accept all of that at face value. But it's going to take a while, no doubt.
Well, I'm sure for Texas, it
is a lot of fun to play Alabama. For some of the rest of us, not so much.
I say that, but I balked at any models going forward that took them off our permanent schedule. If there's one thing us LSU fans don't want to be robbed of, it's our right to bitch about having to play Bama every year.
Mrs. DeLonghorn isn't really much of a traditionalist. She's a "let's see who we're playing today and root for Texas" kind of fan. It's a mystery to me how the move to the SEC doesn't weird her out, make her nostalgic, or generally affect her at all. I don't think she'd even miss OU if the RRS weren't around anymore, but that's different....it's built on a different kind of dislike for OU. Whereas most UT fans want to beat OU every year, she gives me the impression she'd be happy to ditch them completely....because she doesn't like them, which makes perfect sense to her.
I can't remember the whole isc&a thing and I wouldn't steal it anyway, but if there is one thing I find genuinely adorable and cute about her, it's her total embrace of schadenfreude when it comes to OU. Because it's SO out of character for her normal soft, quiet, extremely empathetic nature. The delight that woman takes in watching OU struggle or lose any game is....well, it's quite something, especially compared to her normal demeanor.
Them, and the Eagles, but that's a Dallas fan thing, which I obviously can't identify with because I still don't get the point of the NFL.
