I am a Pro fan...pretty much it. I do like a good game if the Longhorns are in it, but I don't sweat it if I miss it. Click link to create a Brute!

2008
National Champion Prediction: Ohio State
Predicted Participants (BCS Championship): Georgia (13-0) vs. Ohio State (12-0)
Actual Participants (BCS Championship): Florida (12-1) vs. Oklahoma (12-1)
Computer Line: Florida by 1.36
Final: Florida 24, Oklahoma 14
National Champ: Florida
Comment: For just the fifth time in 16 years, the Congrove Computer Rankings' preseason forecast missed on picking at least one of the national championship game participants. Like most, the CCR pegged Georgia and Ohio State to advance to the title game. Oklahoma was preseason ranked No. 9 and Florida was No. 6.
The season was marked by tight conference races, including a Big 12 South division battle that left three teams 11-1 overall, and 7-1 in the conference - Oklahoma, Texas and Texas Tech. The Longhorns defeated the Sooners, but lost to the Red Raiders; and the Sooners beat the Red Raiders to leave all three schools with a 1-1 mark against each other. Since none of them lost to any other conference teams, the BCS Standings had to be used as the tie-breaker to determine which of the three would advance to the conference championship game. That nod went to Oklahoma, which then advanced to the BCS Championship game by defeating Missouri to win the conference title.
In the SEC, Alabama was the only team to navigate the entire regular season without a loss. But the Crimson Tide fell to Florida in the conference championship game to give the Gators a crack at their second national title in three years, and the Gators prevailed 24-14. Alabama lost 31-17 to Utah in the Sugar Bowl.
While the computer's forecast missed on its' preseason prediction of the title game matchup, it amazingly tabbed the winners of five conferences - ACC, Big Ten, Mountain West, PAC-10, and WAC - and nailed the division winners of the ACC Coastal and CUSA West. Nine more conferences or divisions were won by teams that the computer picked to finish second. It also forecasted the exact records of 22 teams.

Loved hanging with LSU fans during the championship game. Great pregame and gracious winners.
I travel to tons of away games and have tailgated 3 times with Longhorn fans and have to say they left a hell of an impression with me. I root for them in all games they are not playing Ohio State.
