Is it right to “hate” someone when that person tends to ignore your existence or is that the only reason?  There’s no fun in that.  UT and A&M have always been the target of UH fans.  UT more so.  But, why?  Penis envy?  Funds envy?  Jock envy?  Either way, I picked against both UT and A&M in the first round in my bracket.  It’s nice to see that even though I was wrong they didn’t make it past the second.

I have no justification for my bias whatsoever.  I have friends from both institutions.  I don’t even really hate the towns of Austin or College Station.  But, it’s something about seeing those colors on the court or field that just makes me want to punt kittens into Buffalo Bayou.

So, sorry to Longhorn and Aggie fans this morning.  Something like that.  At least you have next year.  UH has more of a 4 year plan when it comes to any of this.  – FML [Ed. Note – If you haven’t checked out FMyLife.com yet, I recommend it]
