Gone to Seed

Kansas 57, Texas 56 (OT)

November 13, 2021 • DKR

We got a new head coach this year. The previous coach learned what the coach before him had figured out: You can’t lose to Kansas. Welp, about that.

We never led in regulation, but when we tied the game with 22 seconds left, we thought we would steal this one from the Jayhawks. We scored a TD in overtime, but then so did Kansas. And then KU went for 2. And then they got it. Grrrr. We didn’t realize it then, of course, but the Jayhawks’ big win over us was the beginning of a turnaround for their program that included a head-turning start to their 2022 season. 

Highlights from this game: Cara and family were there! Cara and her three youngest even came early for the Bevo Blvd. festivities. Again, it was a shame they didn’t get to see a win, but it was great to spend time with them.

RIP Jake 😦

This game was on my daughter’s birthday eve, so I got to watch Texas beat West Virginia from a comfy booth at Lubbock’s Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux. It was fun to cheer FOR the team most other restaurant patrons were actively cheering AGAINST!

Because I was on the road, Katie and I improvised my TEXAS spelling, using peppers from my burger to form the letters representing our red-hot Longhorn team.

Planting Seeds of Hope

Texas 24, Kansas 17

Nov. 23, 2018 • Lawrence, Kansas

All we needed was one more win to make it to the Big 12 Championship in Arlington, and Kansas was next up on the schedule. No sweat, right? At first, it looked like we would coast into AT&T Stadium, leading 21-0 after three quarters. But the Jayhawks made it interesting, closing the gap in the fourth. The Horns held on to escape the Sunflower State with a win, and our tickets for the conference championship were punched.
