Yep, you heard me right... I'll never forget last weekend and always will look back on it as the best weekends of my life. I thought we would stomp them. I thought we would have at least a morsel of defense. I was wrong about all of that.
But I didn't spend Monday loathing life, fighting with the mouth breathers on Irish Envy or even giving two shits about football period. Because Texas gave me a great gift. Which is one of clarity, one of understanding that there are far more important things in life than football.
I watched the game with friends and my pregnant wife. We cheered, we ate Mexican food and we screamed at the tv as the Longhorns broke our collective hearts. We went home and I sat in my living room while my wife went to sleep. I stewed and thought about how much this night had sucked and then went to sleep. At 4:30am... It happened. My wife's water broke and gametime truly started. On Monday, in a hospital room with a golden dome view, my wife gave birth to my first child. While three weeks early, she is a happy and healthy little girl.
So I thank the Longhorns for inducing my rabid ND fan wife into labor. I thank them for giving me the two best gifts a man can ever receive.
1) A baby girl who has stolen my heart.
2) A true understanding that football is just a game. We always say that, but I never have meant it until now. I'll always love this team, but I truly feel like I can enjoy them as intended now.
Thank you Texas.
