Rome and 300

49-39 was the final score. The Texas Longhorns will play in Dallas on Saturday for the Big 12 Championship despite a valiant, yet unsuccessful effort. A friend of mine seems to think the Aggies were like the legendary 300 Spartan men that fought against the Persian empire. As if it was a stand against the bigger, stronger, faster, more well-equipped, and more powerful. That sounds about right. Except I would liken the UT football team to Rome at this point. We are on top, have been for a while, and even though Rome falls eventually I don't see us burning down anytime soon. A&M can have their Alamo victories. We will continue conquering foreigners. Michigan, USC, Ohio State have all been engulfed, Nebraska and hopefully Florida will be added to the map soon enough.
