I love My Boys.
I wasn't even born the last time UT won a championship (1970). Last night I felt like I died and was in Heaven.
Holy Crap.
My eyes are still trying to catch up with my brain because I cannot believe that I watched what I watched.
Unbelievable!
Honestly I can tell you that SC played a great game and I seriously thought that we were gonna lose at one point.
Because when you are playing a team trying to win their 3rd championship in a row, a team that has over 30-something consecutive wins, a team with two Heisman winners, a team playing in their backyard, a team who was favored by media and fans to win; you just don't think you are going to win especially when the game is down to the last minute.
Aye, that last minute: I was sweating bullets, Incredible's stomach was in knots, and the woman sitting next to me was calm as ever saying "don't worry, y'all got this" and all I wanted to shout back to her was: "SHUT UP" because if they didn't get it, I would blame her.
HA.
We watched the game at a house party mostly attended by Texas Exes. They had bloody marys and screwdrivers as the drink of choice.
I should. Never. Drink. Vodka.
Correction: I should never drink well into five o'clock in the morning.
Uh-huh.
After we won, the party headed to the local Texas Exes bar to celebrate. On a school night. Are you kidding me? It was like I was back in my ol' UT days because in the back of my head I kept thinking:
"If I go to bed at six, sleep an hour, I can wake up in time"
Yeah. Right.
But I did go to bed and that was the mistake. I should have stayed awake and let the alcohol ride out. Getting up this morning was Hell.
Thank goodness a co-worker gave me a Starbucks gift card (I don't drink coffee) but I sure did order the biggest Vanilla Creme. Two, to be exact.
My only disappointment in the game is that they waited until the post game show to give us a look at Matty. WTF?
I know, it's football not a celebrity watching game but they did show James Denton twice in the stands.
Now what was that about? Honestly, since it was in Pasadena I expected more celebs in the crowd.
I also expected a half time show. What was up with that? The night before at the Orange Bowl, Ciara performed. The Rose Bowl's half time featured both school's bands and a video clip of the season's highlights music tidbit with U2.
Now I can return all my missed calls and catch up with friends I have not spoken to in forever because the season is over. Boo hoo.

I'm tired just reading about staying up until 6am and getting up in an hour. Ouch. And vodka no less. I hope you make it through the day. Hook'em.
It was a damn good game!
