Geez, and I thought Texas Aggie fans were taking their team’s losses hard. But Aggie angst is nothing compared to what boiled over in Longhorn land after Texas’ upset loss to Kansas State last Saturday night that doomed the Horns’ BCS championship hopes:

An unhinged Texas Longhorn fan who blames Doug Flutieís televised analysis for the teamís upset Saturday threatened the former football star and his family in an electronic mail message, police said.
The threat, which was not detailed by police, was sent to the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism early Sunday, police Lt. Paul Shastany said.
ìWe have intentions of finding this person and speaking to this person,î said Shastany. ìAs threats go, itís a pretty serious incident.î

Although the exact nature of the threat was not disclosed, the man, who investigators believe lives in California, wrote, ìYou jinxed the Longhorn faithful and a chance at the national title,î Shastany said.
ìHe was upset, wishing bad will and speaking badly about his family,î said Shastany. ìAt this point, the information is disconcerting enough to follow this up the best we can.î
Police spoke with Flutie, and he is aware of the threat, Shastany said, but there was no imminent danger and Flutie went ahead with a foundation fund-raiser last night at the Hyatt Regency in Boston.
Flutie is a college football analyst for ABC and ESPN. His playing career included winning a Heisman Trophy with Boston College in 1984, two stints with the Patriots and several championships in Canada. The Texas Longhorns were upset Saturday, when Kansas State beat them 45-42.
