off the hook

in an unbelieveable turn of events, the texas longhorns have just won the national championship in football. surely you will easily conjure memories of their most recent championship prior to this...a hint: nixon was the president, and i was not yet 1 year old. for a program of such victorious history and financial gluttony, the span of 36 years is an enigma.

let us all thank our lucky stars that vince young is the quarterback at ut; and (recent heisman trophy voting results notwithstanding) that he is the most outstanding, creative, elusive, resolute, and un-tackle-able man in the world of collegiate football.

let us attempt to thank next year's lucky stars (pre-emptive strike,) which may cause him to stay in school for his senior season. make no mistake, he won this game...not single handedly, but as close to that qualification as is possible in a sport like football. in a game of unbelievable talent, he clearly demostrated the the largest amount of talent is currently living in a dorm in austin,texas. it has been fun to watch.

here's hoping i won't have to wait until i'm 72 to see this again.
