For those of you who would like a succinct recap of the game, you can read it here. I sent Jonathan to bed when it was over, since he was feeling sick after getting up so early, and I needed some time to mope. Really, I don't think I've ever been so disappointed about a game in my life, and I've even been teary since it ended. Weird, I know. And I'm sort of ashamed of it, but it's the truth. It's mostly sympathy for the team, and particularly Colt McCoy, that gets me down. I just wonder what could have been.
I was really glad to see the Horns rally in the third quarter and proud to see them compete like they were playing for the national championship. They came back after the first half and gave Bama a run for their money. But, Bama won. And at least I can be happy for my husband and the rest of the Shireys who love Alabama football.
Hook 'em horns, Texas! I'm proud to be a fan.
Jonathan hooked up our computer to the t.v. so that we could watch the game on a full screen. We actually had a great picture. Good tech work, honey!
About to watch the game
Jonathan and I slept in separate bedrooms the night before, but not because of animosity, in case you were wondering. Since we knew we wouldn't get much sleep, we decided to split up so that we wouldn't keep one another up with our tossing and turning. 
Our friend Jeremy came over and watched the game with us. Here we are getting our coffee and 4 a.m. snack.
Guy got decked out in the winner's colors this morning. p.s. I wrote this after very few hours of sleep. Please forgive any typos :)
