"Did that really just happen?"
In the span of less than 24 hours, I asked this exact same question while experiencing the highest and lowest moments for my two favorite teams in the last decade. Still high on life from the Texas Rangers winning the pennant, I drove to Austin on about an hour's sleep to watch the Texas Longhorns continue salvaging their season by curb-stomping Iowa State. Except they didnt. At all. As y'all know, we lost at DKR to a team that got absolutely demolished by Utah and Oklahoma.
As usually happens during a UT loss--and even during some wins--I received a flurry of angry text messages from my friends and relatives. After the jump, and in the spirit of textsfromlastnight.com, I wanted to share some of these conversations with the BON Community...for the sake of full disclosure, a few of these entries were contributed by other BON authors.

(xxx): Believe it or not, just sending you their names is somewhat cathartic.
(xxx): The old baton guy will be here today, right?

(xxx): We should change our sponsor from Nike to UA
