If Halloween doesn’t scare you, maybe this game will!

This past weekend consisted of me, my dog and a pizza while watching the Texas vs. Missouri football game. As all my roommates seem to have more adventurous lives than myself, my dog Buddy kept me company as I watched the Longhorns cream the Tigers in the first quarter alone.

But wait, there was a shocking game right before Texas took to the field. As I was waking up from a late afternoon nap, I was distraught to see the score of the Alabama vs. Tennessee football game. With four seconds left in the final quarter of play, Tennessee was about to upset the No. 2 BCS ranked Alabama Tide.

After being teased by countless timeouts, I held my breath for possibly the biggest upset of the season. Bummer. Alabama blocked the kick and still remained undefeated. So much for calling my two cousins, who studied at Alabama, to rub it in their face.

But oh yeah, our dominating game.

Colt McCoy finally stepped up his play to show he is the best candidate for the Heisman. In the first three drives of the game, the Longhorns hit their stride to diminish any hope the Tigers had during their homecoming game.

With the final score Longhorns 41-7, many fans hoped it would be enough to put Texas ranked above Alabama.

The BCS polls were released Sunday, and once again the Tide were ranked higher than Texas, even after an almost humiliating Saturday night for the Tide.

This weekend should be a thrill to watch football for many of us not of age to go downtown. Halloween night will put fear into many Texas fans. It will be one of the hardest tests on the road this season, Oklahoma State.

Once again as I am watching from my T.V. this Saturday night (hopefully with roommates this time), Texas will prove to the nation once again they are the real deal. Let’s hope there are no spooks in this game.
