Don't Mess with the Masked Blogger!!!

Texas Got Messed With.

We have all heard the phrase, “don’t mess with Texas”. I attended a small, private university that had at least one student from every state in the union. Every start of the school year, we would have an assembly where the state and country flags would be hoisted to represent the various homes of the university’s students. The point was to show the diversity within the university. Without exception the Texans would be the most obnoxious of all. They would see their flag and go nuts. I must admit that this experience jaded me towards the Lonestar State.

However, as of late, I find myself sympathizing with Texas. The Texas Longhorns were the nations #1 ranked football team for a lot of the season. They lost only one game (Texas Tech), but beat notables Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Missouri. Yet, they were not invited to the Big 12 Championship Game, but Oklahoma and Missouri was. Subsequently, Texas has no shot at the National Title.

These decisions were not made on the field of play, but by computer geeks associated with the BCS. In addition to the Big 12 Championship and National Championship Games, Texas will miss out on the Sugar Bowl where they would have played Alabama. Alabama also has only one loss and was #1 when Texas wasn’t. Instead, Texas is slated to play in the Fiesta Bowl. Waiting for them is the biggest, big game chokers of all, “Thee Ohio State”. Hook ‘em horns!
