rose bowl

well, i've finally had the chance to expunge on the greatness that was last week's roswe bowl win for the horns. coupled with perhaps one of my top five all time improv shows, it made for one helluva night.
i with compadre miked. showed the game live at the hideout without any audio and did the commentary ourselves for an audience of mostly non-football knowing comedy fans. we also had able-bodied commercial dubbers providing the sound for tv breaks. it was glorious. the show went off narry a hitch and the game was easily one of the best football games of all time.
i had people coming up to me saying they hate football, but that it was one of the best things they'd ever seen. and it felt great from my end, too. i feel as though i was actually a part of something historical. rather than just watching it in a smoky bar with no audio or in the living room with a few people i called the game with 60 or so people laughing their asses off. it was really great.
the drama of the game could not have been scripted any better. actually, it was scripted exactly how it would be in hollywood except that it was REAL. the heroes were down with a seemingly impossible task in fornt of them. they had to score two touchdowns with i think under four minutes left. and they did it. on 4th and 5 inside the ten yard line.
having two things i love so much (improv and UT football) converge all on stage and having UT come out on top was one of the greatest moments of my life. i know that's probably sad to some people. but winning knitting tournaments are the best moments of other people's lives, so at least i'm in some kind of realistic realm here.

oh, and to see the Sportscenter d-bags from ESPN eat all their words from the past month talking about how USC was the greatest team of all time, matching them up against old national champions from the past 50 years; ahhhh, that was beautiful. they overlooked one team when comparing them to the all-time greats, the '05 Longhorns, biuatches.

consider 'em hooked.
