National Championship Day of Anxiety
This morning, I posted the following on Facebook: “Are you ready for a national championship? I’m oddly anxious. Tell me your thoughts.”
Forthwith, some of the most pointed comments so far:
Jodi Gonzalez: “I’m very nervous. I really am hoping the Colt has the game of his life, and ends his career on a high note.”
Sandy Walper: “Apt phrasing about your mental state. I’m there too. Everyone is touting Alabama. They have a better defense; their QB has not lost a game ever, it seems; they have Ingram; they have at least three other offensive and defensive players who are game-breakers. However. We have Muschamp and Applewhite and Brown, OH MY! I want to think that …”
Jeff Abbott: “I feel distracted today, not anxious, just very ready for the game to start. I think we have a better coached team and everyone is selling us short and I think that will be a motivator for them. I grew up in Austin, but didn’t go to UT (I went to Rice). But I married into a Longhorn family, and will be cheering as loudly as any UT grad tonight. Texas Fight!”
Kate Hersch: “I could care less about football, unlike El Rey. I am using the game as an excuse to eat queso.”
Elizabeth Christian: “I woke up feeling very anxious about it!”
Kerry Awn: “Vince and Ricky will be there. Maybe we could sneak ‘em into the game. Have some faith, people.”
Herb Belofsky: “A win tonight for the Horns will put Austinites in a good mood for a long time. An Orange tower is a beautiful sight.”
