It always sucks to lose. It always hurts. If we don’t care it wouldn’t, but we do care because it’s part of who we are. It’s part of our life. And this comes from someone that didn’t attend Texas. I’m one of those “tshirt” fans.
Most of us have bonded with someone over this sport and with this school and team. It’s special, unlike anything else. For me, that’s with my parents. I was born in Texas, but grew up in Oklahoma. I remember my dad watching those Red River games, rooting for Texas and over the years that’s what instilled in me a love for the Longhorns. It wasn’t easy in Oklahoma, but it hardened me as a fan.
We made two games this year in Austin…Florida and Clemson. As they get older, I know there is less of this in the future. But for the time being, I will enjoy every damn second I can.
Texas football has given us excitement again, playing for championships. And even tho I’m not an alum, I love Texas sports and am emotionally invested because of the bond I share with my parents watching and rooting for the Horns.
It’s always Hook’em 🤘🏽
