I’ve been disappointed more than a few times this year, and I would personally freaking love it if we won it all. I remember shedding actual tears of joy when Vince strolled past the pylons on 4th and 5. But I didn’t become a fan JUST to see us win championships. I love this University. I like talking with my pops about Texas and updating him on the stuff I read on OTF. I like getting invested in the kids that wear burnt orange and watching them mature and respond. I love this team because I bleed burnt orange, not because they have the resources to win it all every year. I’m sorry, but to me, this chapter of the book that is UT’s story, that I can’t seem to put down, hasn’t been a waste. To me, it’s been just as important as last year’s chapter, and just as important as 2005’s chapter. Yeah, the way this Saturday played out, CFP hope has flickered out, but man, I’m proud of this team’s growth. I’m proud of our fight. And I’m proud to be a Longhorn. 🤘🏽
