We're there. It's as simple as that.
Now, we just need those one or two plays that win it all for us. Ed Reed grabs a deflected interception, and the Va Tech receiver drops the 2 pt. conversion. Miami is in the Rose Bowl. If we get those two plays, we are undefeated and in the Rose Bowl.
Our time will come, and it will be soon. We are there. And we are going to be "at the final table" every year for the foreseeable future. That's an awesome feeling.

Well done Horndfl.
In the past, other programs that consider themselves challengers to the throne have come close, only to slam into the wall, or spaz out (i.e. Florida, Nebraska, Florida St., Alabama, Penn St., Tennessee, etc.) The list goes on, and yeah - we are in there too. It just hurts to experience it again.
I cannot express the pride I felt watching this team in the fouth quarter this weekend. Simms bad game was only part of the obstacles that this team had to overcome. The dropped touchdown pass; the penalties; the loss of Williams and Benson would have destroyed most teams.
We had as many turnovers as CU in the first game. They lost 41-7. We almost pulled this son of a [censored] out. I still feel we have the better team.
Thank you for your take dfl.

Terrific post. This is one that should make it to the Classics. When we look back five years from now, we will all see year 2001 as when Mack Brown's Longhorns truly arrived. I see nothing but great times ahead for the UT program.

Thanks, dfl. You know I share the view. Haven't seen a perfect season from any team this year (Miami fans, remember the first 58 minutes of the Boston College game before speaking out), and ours was fun to watch.
I played goalie on a soccer team for a while. This week I've thought often about how many losses I was credited with (all of them, because, after all, "I" gave up the goal), and how many wins I was credited with (1 or 2 out of hundreds of games, because it rarely came down to penalty kicks).
No single player loses a team game--and this team never quit. I can't ask for much more than that.

You got "IT". You're getting "IT" more all the time. Glad you see the big picture.

That was extremely well said and needed. Thank you.
Trips Left, I totally agree with your point as well. I posted a month and a half ago, when OU was riding their 20 game winning streak, that the Sooner fans that were really enjoying that streak were the ones still left at the end in the Cotton Bowl in 1998 on the short end of 38-3. You could say the same thing for our fans and 63-14. I'm not saying if you left that game early that you are a bandwagon fan, but you know the ones still there at the end are hardcore fans. I think that represents most of the people on this board.

dfl, i was having the same discussion tonight with a friend about those amongst our fan base who just don't get it. By and large they seem to be the ones who either (a) attended their first game of the season at the cocktail party at Texas stadium, (b) have way too much emotionally invested in the Major vs. Chris debate, and/or (c) remain indulged in Francophilian notions of greatness long after the departure of Napoleon/St. Darrell. More than anything else at this point, our team needs to finish the season with a win and a spot amongst the very best teams in the country for the first time in nearly twenty years. The idiots have left the bandwagon. Your audience here, the ones who have been supportive from start to finish, need to pull back together, put away philosophical questions about which quarterback would have done what, and find their way out to California in a couple of weeks to help a great bunch of kids finish the season off right and project us into next year without all the negatives. After last week, it's not going to be fashionable to go West, but I expect it to be damn rewarding. Great post.

How the hell did kchorn get a hold of horndfl's password?
Seriously, I was pretty much over the loss as soon as I got to my car from the stadium. I am into football for entertainment and these guys gave me a hell of a year of entertainment. The way they fought back and made that championship game such an exciting game was satisfying to me. To see the effort these guys are putting on out there makes it all alright for me.

Thank you and great post. I copied your post and sent it to several Joe Fans that have really rubbed me the wrong way. I am so tired of bandwagon fans who barely watch any UT football and go off when we lose. I hope they read the whole thing and realize that we're talking about them.
