I think Samuel L. Jackson needs to send Vince Young his "Bad Motherfucker" wallet. Vince is a total badass who has a storied history of rising to the occasion and did so in spades Wednesday night.
Maybe it was just the epic struggle he had just been through, but I thought Matt Leinart was a bit of a sourpuss in post-game interviews. He kept referring to Vince Young as a "freak of nature" and declaring that they were a better team that "lost" rather than Texas "winning." I think I was watching a different game. If I've ever seen any team snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, it was Texas on Wednesday night.
Now, as an A&M alum I've had to progress through a slew of rationalizations to end up as a fever pitch Texas supporter. I think what finally put me over the edge was the simple fact that the state of Texas produces so much talent, it's bullshit that we haven't had a national champ in 35 years. If it's Texas, so be it. However, given that I had a little bet on the game, I still considered it a win-win situation. If Texas lost, I could revert to being a snarky Aggie gigging the Longhorns about Mack Brown not being able to win the big one. That would have been worth the price of the bet.

This was the only other game I would have rooted for the longhorns, other than Texas-OU.
