Saturday best wishes
In my latest guest-post at HughHewitt.com, I ask the timeless question: "How 'bout them Longhorns?"
Congrats to them on their 45-35 win over the No. 1-ranked O.U. Sooners. I'm enjoying a beautiful and relaxing fall day today, and I hope you are too.
(I couldn't abide by the red-and-white theme at Hugh's blog today, though, without inserting this burnt orange graphic to express my mood.)

I know that for some folks, Saturday is another workday. But this Saturday has been a wonderful day for me, at least, to take a breather from bad economic news and fierce political argument.
And how 'bout them Longhorns? On this perfect fall day in Dallas, two highly-ranked teams of college athletes from, respectively, the University of Texas at Austin (my college and law school alma mater), ranked No. 5, and Oklahoma University, ranked No. 1, squared off in their annual football rivalry, the Red River Classic. They delivered a gem of a game — a Texas win this year, 45 to 35 — that did honor to all concerned and certainly entertained everyone who watched.
Remember to take time to enjoy the good times within even these intense times, friends and neighbors. I hope you all have found some means for release and relaxation on this fall day in a country we love.

I flew in from VA to join my brothers and nephew at the Cotton Bowl. It was great. Our seats were right on the 50-yard-line, which was the divider between Horns and Sooners fans.
It was an awesome game.
Oh, and OU SUCKS! :)
