re: A note about treatment by Texas fans

I got suckered to go to a house party here in Austin for the game. The reason I went was the promise of a shrimp/sausage boil with lots of other goodies. While I knew the host and everyone else there, except for my buddy, would be Texas fans I didn't see any reason not to go and show the LSU colors, so I wore my Gold LSU t-shirt.

The minute I walked in the house, the drunk host got in my face about the t-shirt and was so mad I thought he was going to get violent. I just stood there with a smile on my face and let him rant(hmmm?). His wife and a few other folks got him quieted down. Later on he sobered up some and I got him to talking about why his team was so good and gradually he seemed to accept me.

I knew we were going to win the game so I didn't even rub it in when we started to pull ahead. The free food was great and overall I had a great time, met some real nice folks. Life is what you make it. We all have the free will to be a jerk or a good guy.
