Merry Christmas Burnt Orange Nation

Besides, blow outs are Fascist, include some nailbiters every now and then, it’s more Democratic.

And thank you, 54b, for keeping us in cat gut, er, stitches. Keep it coming forever more.

Happy Holidays, BON’rs. See ya’ll in Pasadena!

Tim Griffin reads this blog oacassionaly, wonder what his reaction will be haha

I know a lot of us have really been enjoying our time visiting with you all over here, and I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday tomorrow! Merry Christmas Longhorns!

As always…Merry Christmas to all of the BON’rs out there…Hook’Em!!!

I would have hit the “like” button. Merry Christmas!

for having an audience for my writing and everyone’s input that keeps me on my toes. As a Longhorn fan, I’m thankful for Will Muschamp and the Legion of Boom and the Roommates, incredible representatives of the university. As a basketball fan, I’m thankful that there are at least several times a year when the Erwin Center gets rockin’ like it did Tuesday night and that Rick Barnes decided to stay at this football school instead of bolting for a job like Kentucky, even though he will never truly be appreciated here. I’m thankful for Avery Bradley and Damion James and Doge Balbay’s incredible on-ball defense. As good as 2009 was for Texas fans, I deeply believe that 2010 will be even better, with a national championship or two in store.

Hook ’Em and Merry Christmas!

I’m thankful for being a longhorn! It’s easy to be proud and prideful of such a great school that year after year puts champions on the field/court. 2009 was special, and I feel 2010 will get started off on the right foot, and on the right ring finger of every longhorns football player. Basketball is looking solid for a great March run, and baseball always has the promise to make a tough Omaha push for another title. I don’t mean to sound biased, but I bleed Texas orange, and love my horns!

Hope everyone on BON has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Cya in our second home…Pasadena.

Thanks, 54b — terrific post, as usual. I’m grateful to have such a terrific group of writers at the site, and want to especially thank Dimecoverage for her tireless, amazingly awesome round ups.

I’m also endlessly amazed by the wonderful community of readers here at the site. Y’all make it easy to keep at it, day in and out. Best community around anywhere. Happy Holidays to everyone here at BON.

An almost unblemished, completely dominant march to the national championship match, only to fall to the very best team ever to play the sport. In 5 sets no less. I’m thankful for Ashley and Heather and most especially for Destinee for giving me endless hours of pleasure watching the most athletic team to take the court at Gregory since I became a fan back in 2002.

I’m also thank ful for this awesome community of Horns Fans, who have opened their minds and hearts to a sport that has been below the radar since the beginning of BON.

I’m thankful for Dime’s daily trolling of the Interweb, for GoBR’s recruiting updates, for 54b’s neverending supply of one-liners, for AW’s roundball roundup, for twstr’s flying feet, for 40AS’s diamond diatribes, and for every other BON’ers contribution to what must be the best community in the blogosphere.

And most of all, I’m thankful for PB for herding all the cats and keeping this thing going. A hat tip to you sir!

…the depth that goes into each post has taught me so much about the collective sport, enhancing the whole Longhorn Fan experience. (the knowledge also helps me keep up with my hubby, who is a D2 official) ; )

Merry Christmas to you all and Hook ’Em!!

Just had 3 rum balls, because that’s how I roll.

I am thankful for the BON nation, the great discussions here,…fun and otherwise.

I am thankful for my family, especially my kids…great son and daughter…

I am thankful most of all for Our Creator and His Son who has given us our many blessings.

Enjoy your day and christmas

I had an interesting, if small, twist to this Christmas. We showed up at my father-in-law’s house, and he says his business partner is coming over to celebrate with us. Turns out the guy is not just an OU fan, he’s a former Land Thief himself. There aren’t many guys who could come in and dwarf my wife’s father and uncle, but this guy is 6’7" 300lbs. and used to play TE for OU back under Gibbs before going down his sophomore season.

Anyway, I thought it worth a brief mention. So, who got the worst gift?

Now that you mention it, isn’t it obvious that what the Heisman selection process needs is a run-off? Not only would this draw out the media circus, it would also afford an opportunity for yet another bowl game — the Heisman Bowl, held on Chrismas Day and pitting the teams of the two final candidates against each other.

BTW: Good to be back and Happy Holidays to All.
