You could have easily had one.
My big question: Did someone call that brain-dead kickoff to start the 2nd half? Did the kicker decide on his own? Was it just a mis-hit?
That was an all-time moronic thing to do. Texas couldn't move the ball against the Dawg defense no matter what. Get the ball deep and wait for the punt or TO. Instead, with a short field at home, Texas scores and makes the 2nd half competitive. When the air is out of the building, don't help bring it back.
Now Texas fans showed up and represented in the stadium. Where my seats are is prime real estate for resellers. That's to say I was seated in the middle of several rows of UGA fans. The ones right behind me said they got their tickets last December, flew from Gainesville, FL to San Antonio on Tuesday, and would fly out on Sunday. They were old(er), and not at all intimidated about giving full throat to their support. Really, the ladies were expert defensive analysts and impressed me.
The 40-something Chads in several rows in front of me were obviously misled by the repeated canard that Texas fans are enraged by "Horns Down". He kept drunkenly turning around to see if he could catch my eye. Eventually my daughter helped take a photo for him with his group, since his attempts were about to lead to someone going over the rail. Also, if "UT-A" means something amongst the SEC cognizati, please put out a pamphlet or something. There's actually a University of Texas Arlington campus, so it's a bit like chanting "UTEP" or "UTSA". Not sure what the idea was there.
Overall, I was among real football fans for the night. The inability of the Longhorns to get Santana's keyboardist to be mic'ed in the FOH was symptomatic of the proceedings!
