Don't Mess with TEXAS

Just in case you did not catch the news item of the weekend: University of Texas Longhorns outlast Michigan to win the Rose Bowl in their first appearance in Pasadena. With the game coming down to the final seconds, Longhorns field goal kicker hit the ball just hard enough and without too much curve to take the lead from Michigan and win the game, 38-37. Like the folks say, "Don't mess with TEXAS."
