So the 2007 Texas Longhorn Football Team will not be hoisting any crystal trophies at season's end...but most of us knew that wasn't going to happen anyway.

However, I'm downright surprised at how much pleasure I'm able to extract right now from the far newer realization that OU will not be doing so either. Because until today, I thought they had a pretty legitimate chance.

The endurance of this season would have been infinitely more difficult if the thieves were in the title hunt until January? But they're not, they screwed it up, so they're out, and they can go f#*k themselves.

That makes me smile at least a little bit on an otherwise frustrating day.
