After you get done playing a game of Teasip Bingo, take a moment to read this report on the Texas Longhorns’ tough loss to the Texas Aggies by longtime Horns fan Ida Mae Crimpton, who writes regular reports on her beloved Horns from her perch in Elgin just east of Austin. Here’s a part of what Ida Mae had to say about the Horns’ most recent tough loss:

With Colt coming back off of his injury and since we were just playing the Aggies, no one really seriously thought that there was a possibility that we could lose. But when the game was finally over and we’d lost, a funny thing happened; Mack didn’t seem to be too bothered. He went to midfield, shook coach Frangipani’s hand and then led the team back to the locker room. Coach Chizik told Earl what happened next. Mack gave the guys a post game talk like he usually did but this one was different because of what he talked about. He told the guys not to worry too much about losing because there were other things more important than winning, like God, family, the Gross National Product, the danger posed by international communism, and erosion (which, if you stop to think about it, really is a problem in some areas of south Texas). Well, needless to say, there were more than one set of eyes rolling around that room as everybody tried to figure out what the heck the coach was talking about. Then, Mack told the whole team that they were invited to his house for cherry cheesecake and Frescas, which sent Sally into a panic when she heard about it because they didn’t have any cherry cheesecake in the house and if the team did come over they’d just have to settle for Nabisco Honey Grahams with canned cake frosting (one of Mack’s favorite snacks). But after Mack left, coach Chizik spoke to the team and told them that it probably wouldn’t be a good night to drop by Mack’s house and that maybe they could take a rain check.

Read the entire hilarious piece, and also Ida Mae’s other priceless reports on the Horns’ season, particularly this priceless report on the Horns’ recent loss to Kansas State.
You gotta love football in Texas.
