we're number what?

i am glad to be a longhorn fan.

i'm watching florida state play right now. they are #22 in the country. even if they beat penn state tonight, they have little hope of rising above 17, or 16 in the final polls. nevertheless, their fans celebrate a good play with the traditional "we're number one" hand gesture. self-delusion is funny.

as a longhorn fan, i can "put my horns up" regardless of the situation. sure, it looks stupid; but at least i don't have to pretend our status is higher than it actually is. down here, we save that kind of thinking for the pre-season hype.
