Hello Longhorn nation, my name is Carlos and I was born in Spain, I live in Madrid, and I am a Longhorn fan, I know that sounds weird but Longhorns are universal.
The first of everything I must apologize for my poor english. I am an american football fan and of course a Longhorn fan. The american football is not even popular here, but I like the most in this world. I like Texas Longhorn since Rose Bowl on 2004 against Michigan and I haven´t stopped to follow our college every game. We have had a lot of great moments since that moment being National Champions and Fiesta Bowl Champions, I have to say that I enjoyed a lot last monday night (the match started at 2am and finished at 6 in spanish hour).
I haven´t been neither in Austin, nor Dallas, nor Texas, and nor even USA I would like to but maybe I won´t be ever there, but I´m happy supporting Texas Longhorns... what the hell I am happy to be a Longhorn!
Here in Spain, we have a web site dedicated to the american football, we are almost 200 members and we talk in the forums about everything: NFL, NCAA, draft, etc. We have a subforum to talk about every team so many NFL as NCAA, and I write about our team, we are almost 5 or 6 Texas fans but we are growing up, the most popular teams are Miami Hurricanes, Florida Gators, USC Trojans and Alabama Crimson Tide, I am glad to tell you that nobody support OU.
I though a lot of time to write here, but I didn´t do it till now, I hope all of you are happy to have a spanish Longhorns fans.
Hook 'em Horns (in Spain it´s 15.50 and OU still sucks).

Bienvenidos Carlos!
Es un placer que los Longhorns tienen aficionados en todos partes del mundo.
Yo comenzé a seguir UT desde el juego de 2004 contra Michigan, tambien, y asi estoy de acuerdo contigo que hemos tenido una buena historia desde esto punto.
Thanks for posting!
okay?
I’m glad to see that there are Horns fans worldwide. I feel stupid because I could read the post from Carlos but I can’t read the reply from TXinDC. I guess I need to work on my spanish..

Here's a little helper
A translator for key words.
Translation
The translation of TXinDC´s message is: It´s a pleasure knowing that the Longhorns fans are all around the world.
I started to follow UT since 2004 Michigan game and I agree with you We have had a great history since that point.
Hey man! Welcome!!

“Hook ’em Horns (in Spain it´s 15.50 and OU still sucks).”

I have no words to explain it.
I don´t know. I like the team, I like the eyes of Texas I like the spirit. They always fight.
Sooners are to Longhorns as Moors are to Spaniards

So we know you're a Longhorn
But who is you La Liga team?
Muschamp seems like the kind of guy who used to beat up guys like Bob Stoops in high school.
he's from Madrid, one of two...Real or Atletico...buuuuut Visca Barça.

Welcome
I was born in Madrid too and went to UT…couldn’t leave Texas after that. Do yourself a favor and get over here for next year’s UT-OU weekend so you can experience this first hand!
I feel envy of you
I would love to visit UT’s campus. I study journalism and I am thinking to ask for a scholarship to study in USA (of course not to play football), a summer course at least.
Another foreign Horn fan
I come from the same forum as Liches. I live in the north of Spain, Basque Country anyone?
I am a long-time reader but never had the guts to write anything, till I saw this post. Daily visits to this great site are the only way to get info about our beloved Longhorns. We can’t contribute much because football isn’t a very popular sport in our country.
This year I was able to watch every Texas game and started “kind of” getting into recruiting world too.
"I am glad to tell you that nobody support OU"
LMBO, thats freakin awesome! Str8 Comedy!!
Throw Ya Horns, Mayne
Spring Break 08
