I tell you what I do not like about Texas. Matthew Mckonahay(sp?), who I dont think ever went to the school, gets to be on the sidelines. Last week some other nonalumnist-big celeb was on the sidelines. We have turned into USC. Showtime.

You think they ever ask the long suffering pgardn to be on the sideline? You think they ever call me up and say, hey, you went to the school for 6.5 years here, you did a lot of good work here, why dont you come watch a game?

Nope they never ask me. Not once. Check that. When I was about 10 years old, I got to be on the sidelines of the Arkansas-Texas game in Austin. Why? Because my dad gave big bucks to the school way back. But my Dad is not around, and I will be damned if I give money to an athletic program that is rolling in dollars. Ya think ole Mack gives me a call, says pgardn, why dont you come up and watch a game with me?

And everbody and their mother wears UT shirts down here now. Where were they when the suffering was taking place? They did not suffer with the team. Its like amateur night every night. Give me a long suffering, non boasting fan anyday. The heart of the school by GOD.
