PrintJason Showman in Omaha, Neb., writes: After watching Texas make the game-winning field goal in the Big 12 title, I was crushed. As a die hard Husker fan, being so close and seeing it all slip away was tough.What hurt even more was that my three year-old son, who is a budding football enthusiast and watched the entire game with me, enjoyed seeing the post-game celebration so much that he asked me to carry him on my shoulders while he made the "Hook'em Horns" symbol with his hands, just like Hunter Lawrence.

This warms the cockels of my heart
I don’t often laugh at Internet jokes or misfortunes, but this one got me. That’s some high quality posting right there.

Naughty Sign
Funny how kids do tell you how it is….no matter how important you think you are.
My baby sister is an Aggie and she met her hubby while in College Station. Their first born is my special nephew and God son. Unlike his father, who is Panamanian and has dark hair, my God son favors my sister’s side of the family and me in particular. We are both are very fare and redheads. I always thought we were especially tight and I was his favorite uncle. Until………… I threw a Horns up while at their house. He looked at me and told me to stop it immediately and then he went and reported me to both his parents——-Uncle Jimmy had made the “Naughty Sign” and needed to go. You just can’t reason with a 6 y.o. Aggie.
Fellow Panamanian
I am 1/2 Panamanian, too, to there is hope for your nephew….I came to be an die hard Longhorn fan after many years as LSU fan. Hookem
Hooking em to a Another National Championship.
Grew up an LSU fan too
Now I have to fight with my family constantly. At least I have my brother and his wife (UT Alumni)
I can't even imagine having a kid that doesn't want to be a Longhorn
That’s one of those times where you look to the wife and she shrugs back as if to say “Hey, I wanted another one, but you were worried about my figure.”

Jon Stewart in McCook, Neb., writes: I was 5 or 6 years old. My father was eathing peanuts during the game. I asked for some, begged in fact. He told me he would give me some when nebraska scored. They never scored again and I got zero peanuts.

My Six Year Old Granddaughter
looks great in her Longhorn cheerleader outfit.
But none of you perverts will ever see her.
JUST KIDDING ;)
Notice how my Avatar is strategically edited
The five year old twins love their long horn gear. They are cousins to the Aggies. The kids already know that they can flip teams to get an adult upset….so they will go to their aunts/uncles and say they love or hate the other teams to get a reaction. It will be intersting to see how they handle it all when they get older.
