Are you ready for some football?

My father bought season tickets to the UT games with seats in the newly remodeled endzone. He was generous enough to give us a set of tickets to attend the UT vs. OK state game. And what a game it was! The seats that we had were on the very top row of the upper deck. They gave us a great view of the field and we were high enough to get a breeze! The Longhorns came out and pulled ahead immediately in the game. Early on it looked like it might be a blow out game. However, OK state never gave up. They really hung in there and faught to catch up with every possession of the football. I will admit, I started to get very tense towards the end of the game. And when Colt McCoy fumbled the football with only 5 minutes left in the game, I sat down in frustration. I was just so sure that OK state was going to come back and get a touchdown, pull ahead, and not leave us with enough time to score again. But, those crazy Longhorns pulled out a stop! Then, when we couldn't score a touchdown from the 1-yard-line I could hardly believe my eyes. The game came down to a Hail Mary pass by OK state in the last 6 seconds of the game. We pulled out an interception and ended the game with a 28-24 victory! What a wonderful day of college football! Thanks Dad and Mom!
