Congrats, Texasgal and others

[Oeditpus Rex]

Your guys really gutted it out. Gotta give 'em props. :thumbsup:

[Texasgal]

1. Awww!!!

Thank you!!!

This is SO BIG here... I mean... 30 years in the making!!!

[RevCheesehead]

2. You are so classy.

:hug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

3. Not really

I don't think it's necessarily classy to give credit where credit is due. It's just what's right. I have no patience with sore losers.

And I'm a lifelong Dodgers fan, so I've got plenty of experience with losing. :blush:

On edit: Nor do I have any patience with the likes of this: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x4538391

4. See? That was the perfect answer...

Exactly what I'd expect from a truly classy guy. :loveya:

[Oeditpus Rex]

5. Aw, hush

And go and change your armour.

:hug:

[txindy]

25. Whew! At least that person is from Michigan and not Texas

I don't think anyone rooting for the Horns would say this was anything but an awesome game on both sides.

:toast:

[Fleshdancer]

6. thank you very much! Goddess knows I sacrificed a lot for this team...

all the lost Saturday afternoons watching them play and all the beer and dip I was forced to consume while watching them play...it's been a tough season. :D

I loved this game! It looks like both teams finally got the challenge they deserved tonight. I for one thought Texas was dead early in the 4rth quarter (most of the 4rth quarter actually).

[Texasgal]

7. OH yes... ONE TOUGH SEASON!!

All those BEERS!!!

I too thought we were toast! Is VINCE AMAZING or what???

[Oeditpus Rex]

8. You have to drink BEER?? In TEXAS??

When you watch FOOTBALL??

Oh... the horror... :scared:

[Fleshdancer]

9. and dip! don't forget the dip Oeditpus Rex.

*sigh* It's tough being me.

:D

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. Well, see, I've tasted Texas beer

:puke:

Dunno about the dip, though...

[Fleshdancer]

11. Not a Shiner fan?

can you keep a secret? You have to promise not to tell any Texans, but I don't care for Texas beer either. I buy the imports. ;)

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. Shiner?

Never hoid o' that one. The beers I had were the Texas originals: Lone Star and Pearl.

I understand some of y'all eat armadillo, too...



:hide:

[Fleshdancer]

13. eat a speed bump? that's weird.

Shiner isn't bad. It isn't the greatest, but it's far better than Lone Star and Pearl. Actually, it's called Shiner Bock and it comes from Shiner, TX (small town between San Antonio and Houston). It's the oldest independent brewery in Texas. Brown bottle, yellow label. If you see it, try it and tell me what you think.

[Oeditpus Rex]

17. Do they have an N/A brew?

I'd hate to screw up the last 16+ years. :7

[Fleshdancer]

18. D'oh! well shit! I know a great coffee place if you're ever in Austin

:D Congrats on the 16+ years! Just out of curiosity (and don't bother answering if I'm getting too nosy) does staying sober get easier years down the road or is it always that constant battle? I've always wondered this.

On the other subject though, I honestly don't know anyone who has ever eaten armadillo. That sounds weird to me.

[Oeditpus Rex]

22. Way easier

It's been like 10 years since my mind went from "I'm an alcoholic" to "I don't drink." Really, that's how I think of it.

But that's me. Might be quite different for others.



And the armadillo was a joke. :hi:

[southlandshari]

14. Yay Longhorns!!!

I'll :toast: every last Texas fan tonight with one of these...




Congrats!

:hi:

[GOPisEvil]

15. Bah humbug!

:P

[southlandshari]

16. Watch it, Aggie!

:spank:

Wow. I've wanted to do that for...so long!

:P

[GOPisEvil]

19. If Alabama ever wins a NC, you'll be ticked off too.

Hurts so good! :P

[southlandshari]

21. You got me there. I surrender!

Actually, YOU had me at "land grant university" many months ago!

:loveya:

[GOPisEvil]

24. Viva Morrill Land Grant Act!

:loveya:

[bliss_eternal]

20. Congratulations--

:hi: from a southern Californian!

[txindy]

23. Thank you kindly.

:hi: It was an unforgettable game! Right down to the last seconds. Just like last year. In the same stadium. Vince Young is going to be the death of me, I swear. But that's fine by me! ;)

[bliss_eternal]

26. I don't mind our team losing to

classy Texas progressives like you. It's the horrible freepin' ones that I mind losing to. :cry:

Really glad you enjoyed the game--enjoy the victory, Texasgal--your guys worked hard for it! :applause:
