For The Horns Fans
Got this in an e-mail.
[font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Verdana][font=Verdana]THE NIGHT OF THE ROSE BOWL[/font][/font]
[font=Verdana][font=Verdana]
T'was the night of the Rose Bowl...and all through the land,
All the Longhorns were stirring, even the band.[/font][/font]
[font=Verdana][font=Verdana]
The tickets were purchased for the game, room, and air...
In hopes that "[/font][/font][font=Verdana][font=Verdana]Saint Vincent[/font][/font][font=Verdana][font=Verdana]" would soon be there!![/font][/font]
[font=Verdana][font=Verdana]
The fans were tailgating from their truck beds,
While a vision of a championship danced in their heads.[/font][/font]
[font=Verdana][font=Verdana]
And Bevo in his bridle, and me in my cap,
Had just popped a cold one before the first snap.[/font][/font]
[font=Verdana][font=Verdana]
When out on the turf there arose such a clatter,
I sprang to my feet to see what was the matter!![/font][/font]
[font=Verdana][font=Verdana]
My eyes fixed on the tunnel, and the thundering herd;
The roar of the fight song; I sang every word!![/font][/font]
[font=Verdana][font=Verdana]
They ran to the end zone, and knelt to their maker...
Giving thanks for [/font][/font][font=Verdana][font=Verdana]TEXAS[/font][/font][font=Verdana][font=Verdana], and the victory later!![/font][/font]
[font=Verdana][font=Verdana]
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear.
Coach Mack in his glory, "THE HEAD COACH OF THE YEAR"![/font][/font]
[font=Verdana][font=Verdana]
And our hero from [/font][/font][font=Verdana][font=Verdana]Houston[/font][/font][font=Verdana][font=Verdana] that I haven't seen since;
I knew in a moment it must be "Saint Vince"![/font][/font]
[font=Verdana][font=Verdana]
More rapid than eagles his posse they came...
And he whistled and shouted and called them by name![/font][/font]
[font=Verdana][font=Verdana]
Now, THOMAS! Now, [/font][/font][font=Verdana][font=Verdana]TAYLOR[/font][/font][font=Verdana][font=Verdana]! Now, PITTMAN and SWEED!
On, CHARLES! On, [/font][/font][font=Verdana][font=Verdana]GRIFFIN[/font][/font][font=Verdana][font=Verdana]! ROSS, HUFF and McGEE![/font][/font]
[font=Verdana][font=Verdana]
To the top of the world for a championship crown!
Now dash away, dash away, to a [/font][/font][font=Verdana][font=Verdana]TEXAS[/font][/font][font=Verdana][font=Verdana] touchdown![/font][/font]
[font=Verdana][font=Verdana]
They fought with fury! They fought with might!
They fought like champions on this championship night![/font][/font]
[font=Verdana][font=Verdana]
Oh! The bombs they flew, and the holes blew open...
The Longhorns ran the ball just as we were hope'n.[/font][/font]
[font=Verdana][font=Verdana]
The defense attacked, and oh, they played hard!
Stopping the Trojans, in their own back yard![/font][/font]
[font=Verdana][font=Verdana]
Mack's eyes how they twinkled, his dimples, how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, the "crystal ball" he did carry![/font][/font]
[font=Verdana][font=Verdana]
He embraced his coaches, he embraced his team!
And "The Eyes of TEXAS" we all did sing[/font][/font]
[font=Verdana][font=Verdana]
A season that will live forever in lore;
COME EARLY, WEAR ORANGE, STAY LATE, once more![/font][/font]
[font=Verdana][font=Verdana]
HOOK EM HORNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/font][/font]
