Windblown

Iowa State 23, Texas 20

November 27, 2020 • DKR

We came close, but a last-second field goal sailed wide left, and the Horns lost this heartbreak to the Cyclones, led by future NFL QB Brock Purdy.

With that loss, the weirdest home season ever came to a close. 

Since Dede and John T. were out of pocket, Katie went with me to this day-after-Thanksgiving game. Afterwards, we feasted at Kerbey and then spent some quarters at Pinballz Arcade. The next morning, we got some Christmas shopping done at A-Town, a new favorite ATX store.

Good Kitty

Texas 23, Kansas State 9

Oct. 24, 2015 • DKR

KitKats are the fallback spelling medium whenever we face the Wildcats, and for this game, we had to keep it simple. The 100% chance of rain in the forecast all week turned out to be 100% accurate, so the kitty litter I’d planned to bring to the tailgate stayed in our (dry) home. Fortunately, unlike many of the times we’ve faced K State, we were spared from shouting, “GIMME A BREAK!”

Even in the rain, our guys, especially J Gray, racked up the yards, and the Horns came through with a big ol’ W. Coming after the upset over ou, this win made our losses to Cal and Okie State even more painful to recall, but whatcha gonna do?

Because this was our first game after Bevo XIV’s passing, the stadium’s mood seemed a little somber at times. But the rain, instead of exacerbating the gloom, actually helped alleviate it. The fans who endured the precip were having a blast. What’s a little water among friends? Besides, a little rain is all you need to distinguish between the true fans and the fair weather ones.

Always in our hearts, Big Guy.
