Happy Thanksgiving, Burnt Orange Report readers!

I hope everyone can count their joys to be thankful this year on both personal and more broadly political levels. Politically, we had an exciting start to the week with rumors flying of a beefed up statewide ticket. Kay Bailey Hutchison and Rick Perry are at each others' necks while fighting for the same mundane "policy issues," and health care reform has chugged along in Congress.

We clearly walk into this holiday with much work to do afterward, but we should be able to sit back and enjoy our turkey, anyways.

Our undefeated Texas Longhorns play the Texas A&M Aggies in the annual rivalry game tonight. Texas A&M is only one of two college football teams that have twice beaten Colt McCoy. The game also marks the only college football action in the country today, giving the senior a chance to highlight his stuff to Heisman voters.

The game is in College Station, though, so it could get interesting. I say we'll either squeak through or blow them out.

Any predictions? I say 42-10 Longhorns. Hook'Em.

Horns always get weird going into Kyle Field (0.00 / 0)

I agree that this game could be interesting. For some reason every time the Horns enter Kyle Field something seems to spook them and they play erratic. Hopefully this game won't be the one that trips up the Longhorns on their trek to the National Championship. Should be a fun one to watch. I'm glad they moved it to Thanksgiving night.

Rick and Kay "at each other's necks"? (0.00 / 0)

Oh, I see! They're studying for their GOP "purity test."

After all, they will have to have necked for more than two hours consecutively to even get past question 12 on that.

Kay has an unfair advantage in this, BTW, having had the opportunity to pick up some "Washington Experience" on C Street.
