Too true. I've always liked Clint Stoerner, especially since he was a Dallas
QB for a while there. Even as a Longhorn fan, I've never found much
animosity for the Razorbacks. Oklahoma, of course, is a different story, and
Kansas may soon be added to that list. ;^)

But what has to happen to win any kind of national championship at either a
college or pro level is just mind boggling.

I really do expect the Cowboys to do better this season than in MANY past
years (not difficult to do), possibly even going deep into the offseason,
but I don't necessarily think they've got the team to win it all. Of course,
with luck riding with 'em, anything's possible.
