What A Headline

The headline says it all! It was painful! Quite the HORROR and Halloween is still 8 weeks away. Final score was 45 to 44...UCLA over Texas A&M. Picture me with my head down in shame! I know what you are thinking...it was only a 1-point loss. At least they were in the game. It wasn't a blowout. They gave UCLA a run for their money. All 3 of those sentences swirled around in your head, right? Wait, read on! 

There we were watching it, things looked good. Things looked really good when A&M built a 34 point lead. Yes, you read that correct...a 34 point lead. How does a team lose after building a 34 point lead? If I hadn't seen it for myself, I'd be questioning that very same thing. Mercy me!

Now imagine my husband as he watched. Bad thing to picture, I know! What's worse a Texas school losing in such an embarrassing fashion or the Cowboys losing in ANY fashion? Umm, about the same.

Now from my perspective(to my husband, don't read this part, stop now)...as I was saying, from my perspective there is a small, very small, amount of saving grace in the fact that such a HUGE comeback feat was done by a PAC 12 school. Furthermore, a PAC 12 school I can stomach for the most part. Wink-wink!

So it wasn't a great start to the college football season for the bigger Texas schools. Down went the Longhorns and A&M. However the Horned Frogs won in a supremely convincing manner. But the talk of the town is not the Horned Frogs, it's the disaster pictured at the top of this post. Cue the shame!

Side note: I just thought of something...can you imagine if that PAC 12 school that pulled off such a feat against a Texas school had been...umm....ASU...Oh my, oh my! I would have been ecstatic of course, but my husband would've been supremely upset as his wife danced around the room. Such excessive celebration on my part would have surely landed me in with the fur-babies for the night. Cody would've had to move over because I would've been bunking with him. LOL! Whew, I guess I can say thank goodness it was UCLA and not ASU to beat up on A&M! ;)
