Longhorn Nation,
Under the glistening sky of a gorgeous sun-bathed afternoon in Big D, our Longhorns stampeded northward in a euphoric scene that united as one a sea of Burnt Orange & White faithful with their triumphant gridiron heroes. There were Hook 'Ems aplenty, hugs and high fives, and much rejoicing. It was an absolutely glorious site for these eyes as the band commenced and we joined together in victoriously singing The Eyes of Texas, followed immediately by the delivery of the precious Golden Hat Trophy that signifies success on the most magnificent of stages for a college football rivalry.
