Ode to Texas

Posted by Peter in Humor on January 7, 2010

Texas, fight. Texas, fight,
in the title game.
For it is a BCS championship
that you shall claim.
To Colt, Mack, Bevo
and all the rest,
all that is expected
is your very best.
So that when it is all over,
and the stands have cleared,
may it be to Alabama,
the worst they could have feared.
Not because they are unworthy,
or likely cheating again,
but because I’m a selfish fellow,
and I really want UT to WIN!

I Can Smell Football in the Air, Ahhh!

Posted by Peter in God, Photos, Sports on August 3, 2009

touchdown_jesusFor any of you who aren’t my friends on facebook, I just updated my status as follows:

“Peter M Lopez can smell football season in the air, ahhh. I expect Texas to win the national championship, narrowly defeating Notre Dame 35-34 in the championship game, and the Dallas Cowboys to win the Superbowl.”

This would, of course, be my dream scenario…but, for the first time in many, many years, this is not such a laughable possibility.

So, what does this have to do with the Bible? Well, let’s see, having been born and raised Catholic, “Touchdown Jesus” is iconic. The only acceptable defeat for the Irish would be to the Texas Longhorns. “Touchdown Jesus” is also  perhaps the greatest legend in football…

…second only to the hole in the roof of Texas Stadium so God can watch the Cowboys.

So, there you have it.
