...nuts and bolts

The insults hurled by t-shirt Texas fans after the game aside, it was a great game. The final score, the bad calls and no calls, and the lack of respect during our school song only cement the event as abhorent. It was disappointing that our team couldn't finish the puppy kickers off to writh in the fowlness of orange verbal waste. 4 points, 3 inches, 2 spots, and one obvious pass interference farce gave Tech what it deserved. No chance. Their are 15 million reasons why Tech wasn't supposed to win, but ultimately Tech decided their own fate by not putting them away. There are no moral victories to be had from this except the renewed resolve to finally beat them.....and not just once every four years. The matadors fought hard and their was no lack of effort. Playing a professional team that has never been on football probation and has impeccable recruiting tactics seems to bring out the best in our cast offs. We marvel at how they do it. I just thank them for letting us play in their Conference and have the decency to split the television revenue. They tend to get PUFfy about money in the evil empire.

Were not bitter. We are competing. Something that may come back to bite us should we break through to the next level. Hopefully we will get to avoid the advent of the t-shirt assclown.
