HAIL TO THE VICTORS!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! http://www.fathertimes.net/auldlangsyne.htm

I am a big College Football Fan with the Texas Longhorns being my favorite team. I enjoy it for the traditions and the rivalries. Nothing compares with its History, the fans in the stands the bands playing and the clashes on the field! With over 2400 games played by both Texas and Michigan, the teams had never met. Today they did. The first time ever in Texas' first time ever Rose Bowl appearance! How could that be with these 2 Storied Universities? The History: President Ford and his association with Michigan (grad) and Lyndon Johnson with Texas (though he never attended), Michigan one of the famous college fight song - Hail to the Victors (http://www.umich.edu/~info/inside.html?http://www.umich.edu/~info/victors.html) and Texas with the most famous School Song - The Eyes of Texas (http://www.mackbrown-texasfootball.com/pages/proudtrads/eyestexas.html), Michigan with one of the most recognized helmet and Texas with the most recognized hand signal (Hook 'em Horns! http://www.mackbrown-texasfootball.com/pages/proudtrads/hookem.html). They said the Horns didnt belong. That they were over rated and that they were breaking Tradition (Pac-10 vs Big 10). Well Michigan was up 37-35 with 2 seconds left in the game. Texas kicks a 37 yard field goal to Win 38-37! Congratulations Horns! You proved that you do belong and that you can win the big games! So all Hail to the Victors! The Texas Longhorns, the champions of the West!
