I'm not even going to pretend that I'm anything less than ecstatic. Texas just played the best game they've played since they beat USC in the title game a few years ago. That was an excellent OU team, with a potent offense, that we stopped. Flat. And Colt McCoy ran a disciplined, excellent offense to victory.

It's 3:00pm, and OU still sucks. We beat them, and we should celebrate that today!

As for my predictions (which at least one reader thought was suspect):

• Texas will win a close high scoring game. CHECK!
  
• UT will be down early in the first quarter. CHECK!
  
• We will have at least two major special-teams plays. CHECK! (The Shipley TD and the stopped faked punt attempt)
  
• The defense will score a touchdown. I missed this one, but an intereception at the end of the first half led to a crucial field gaol.

Overall, a total, complete win for the Longhorns. I'm celebrating tonight. How about you?

GO HORNS!
