Texas vs. Ohio


I read on a friend's blog (fellow Sunday School Director), Don Ryan from Ohio, that Ohio State will payback the University of Texas in tomorrow's game for last year's defeat. So, I felt I had to respond. Living in Austin now, you cannot go anywhere, listen to any radio station or read any news, without it all being about the Texas Longhorns. I have included a quote below from our paper stating that there will be a Saturday night victory.....

"A Saturday night victory by The University of Texas Longhorns football team is expected to trigger a massive celebration around campus.

The No. 1-ranked Ohio State University Buckeyes will play the defending National Champion Longhorns, now ranked No. 2, at 7 p.m. at Darrell K Royal-Memorial Stadium on Saturday. This is the first time in 10 years a No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup has come during the regular season."

There you have it: It is in print—it must be so. There is quite a stir around town about this game, although my life will not be affected! We are planning for our Friend Day this Sunday. We know that one family has four guest commitments and I have at least one guest coming. Pray that nothing stands in their way on Sunday morning! Whether the Longhorns win or not - we are on THE winning side.
