It’s been a tough month for Texas Longhorn faithful.
First, there was the demoralizing loss to Kansas State, which knocked the Horns out of any chance for a rematch with Ohio State in the BCS National Championship game. Then, the Horns laid an egg against arch-rival Texas A&M, allowing the Aggies to win their first game in that hallowed series in seven years. That bitter loss has prompted some good natured ribbing of Longhorn fans, who were due to descend a notch or two after last season’s magic national championship run.
However, leave it to ESPN college football commentator Desmond Howard to make things right again in Longhorn country. Seems as if Desmond is a little confused about which team from Texas is playing in the Holiday Bowl this year. So, when in doubt, Howard falls back on the one team from Texas that everyone knows. ;^)
Houston's Clear Thinkers
Longtime Houston attorney Tom Kirkendall's observations on developments in law, business, medicine, culture, sports, and other matters of general interest to the Houston business, professional, and academic communities.
And it’s THIS kind of insightful analysis that makes me glad that media types like this are responsible for selecting college football’s championship game participants.
Kinda like the Louisiana sportswriter who dropped OU in his poll because he “had heard” that they lost to Texas Tech:

This should be another log on the fire to support development of a playoff for Division 1A NCAA football.
If Desmond Howard is the answer, I’m sure I don’t want to know the question…..Hook ’em!
