Maybe it was the throng of Nebraska Cornhuskers heading south on I-35 for the Big 12 championship football game in Arlington tomorrow. There were literally hundreds of them who passed by us. As diehard Kansas Jayhawks, we're quick to say there's no love lost between us and the Huskers. But, traveling as we are with Texas tags on both of our vehicles, we're extra fueled. You see, Nebraska is playing Texas A&M for the league championship. And, hey, we're Texans, technically. So, Gig Em Aggies!
We are Paper Texans. We own no property in this vast state. So, we were both a bit surprised to feel a bit of a feeling of coming home when we crossed into the Lone Star State. We are, after all, registered here. And, our address is here. Plus, this year we will have spent nearly four months in the great state of Texas.
Wow! Maybe we are becoming real Texans, after all!
Ya think?
Update: Oops! We just watched the local sports and realize that OKLAHOMA is playing Nebraska tomorrow. How'd we miss that? Well, we must of just had Aggies on the brain, I guess. Well, any Jayhawk worth his or her salt would root for Oklahoma over Nebraska. So, there you go. Interesting, though, that we didn't see any Sooners on the road today! Maybe they got an early start.
Oh well, the fact that we even thought a Texas team was playing in the league championship probably makes us even more Texan than we thought. Right? Plus, I just saw a Whataburger commercial. And, I got a pang! I've really missed it!
Man, how did this happen?

I haven't thought of a Whataburger for years! We lived near Dallas from 80 to 84! Some very nice people live there! Enjoy.
