I am a Longhorn lifer. We were bad the entire time that I was a student on the 40 Acres (1984 thru 1988) and we were not so good during my daughter's time at UT (2010 thru 2014).
I have not read the previous posts aside from the one (@Ignatius) just above mine when I started to write this. My thoughts are very similar to his. I am sure that in the previous 5 pages there is a lot of well made arguments for and against. Like many of you I question offensive playcalling at times as well as defensive strategy. I wonder why the paid coaches cannot "see" what we are all seeing and witnessing on TV or in person at the game. We all have the solutions so why cannot the professional coaches see this? That, I do not know. Is it frustrating? Yes. After each disappointing loss I watch the scores scroll across the screen in hopes that it is all wrong and that we did win.
After the game last night I was exchanging text with my kids. I wrote to them that I just want us to return to prominence again before aggy gets there for the first time in modern history. My biological clock is ticking! My daughter assured me that I have at least another good 40 years of iife left. So, according to her, I will live to at least 96 years old!
So, putting time and age in perspective I am sure that I will be dissappointed way more than I will be happy with Texas football. But, I am a Longhorn fan through it all. Win or lose. I will continue to watch them each and every week in hopes that I will be watching the game where the Horns finally turn the corner and I will be along for a then glorious ride and will revel in every second of winning.
So until then I will continue to wear my Texas gear, watch the Horns, a cheer my Horns to victory.
I proud Longhorn. Hookem.
