What really excites your soul? Whether reasonable or not is an irrelevant point. Longhorns football flows through my blood, it has since I was a child and it will until the blood stops flowing. The minutes before entering the stadium were anxiety filled. My uncle applied the eye-black under my eyes - you know, in case of the improbable event that our starting QB gets knocked out on the 4th play of the game. We as a family embraced outside the gates, said our goodbyes, held hands and practically prayed silently. "The next time we see each other we will be national champions, again." My heart pumped the burnt orange blood faster as we departed ways and I walked into the Rose Bowl.
