ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
All this after complaining for the first two months of the football season that no one has given you the respect you deserve?
You can't win with FIVE turnovers (three in the red zone) - even if Husband has broken his BYU hating silence and unites his cheering power with mine against his inner lover-of-all-things-Texas instinct.
This is mostly because I spent the entire night with the look of death on my face...he didn't dare make fun and push me farther than you already had (or perhaps he remembers that I have yet to make even one comment about Texas A&M's less-than-stellar season).
How on earth am I supposed to show my face tomorrow amongst the people I work with - football fans or not, they are still Texan.
Admitting that the piddliest of Texas college football teams just far outclassed my alma mater is right on par with having to lick a toilet seat, eat dirt, or remind everyone that yes-I-still-love-Clay-Aiken. The only thing worse would be living next door to a Utah fan.
I'm so far beyond embarrassed that if someone offered me a steaming hot bowl of regular old humiliation, I would jump on it like a fat kid on cake. I might even ask for seconds.

At least they weren't beaten by SMU, right? I guess that could have been worse. They really didn't play well, did they? It was almost like they decided to leave all of the regular starters in Provo and give the practice squad some game time, with the starters actual jerseys, of course, because the practice squad doesn't have their own. Either that, or the real team was hidden in a corner while they found people who wanted to dress up like them for Halloween and mistakenly played them instead.

Maybe BYU just isn't any good?
Husband (not mine, Erin's),
First of all, Sister Porter is my mother-in-law. Thanks for being all southerny and nice about it, though. Secondly, I grew up as a USC fan, so my life really isn't all that bad (except for a couple of weeks ago when they lost to freaking Oregon State, but don't get me started on that game). Thirdly, BYU (and I have to be careful how I word this so as not to upset your wife) is pretty good when they WANT to be. I don't know if they will ever get a shot at a BCS game since the Pac 10, the Big 10 and the SEC all have better teams than the poor Mountain West. At least I'm not like one kid Erin and I knew in college that after the Fiesta Bowl debacle of (was it '96?), he vowed never to buy a tostitos product again. So, naturally, Emily and I got him a ginormous bag of Tortilla chips and a variety of salsas and quesos for Christmas. We're really nice like that.
