You hear stories of greatness in the clutches of adversity and myths about the hero that saves the world with tremendous odds against him. You hear stories of the “underdog” that enters into a challenge that seems impossible to win. You hear stories of tremendous triumph about people and teams that won not because of simple ability, but because of heart. You hear the stories, but we rarely get to see them. There is no greater place to see these stories than in college football. On Friday, we saw one of those stories.

For the past six years, my Alma mater has lost to our arch enemy, The University of Texas. We ended that six years of pain on yesterday. They may have a championship from last year, but we took their spirit and their hopes of going to a comparable bowl game on Friday. That’s right, I am talking about “The Home of the Twelfth Man,” the greatest school in the state of Texas, and the one team that can cause The University of Texas to have a bad season even though it is a winning season. I am talking about The Texas A&M University Aggies!!!

There are those people that may say devoting a blog to your college team is stupid…to them I say it is about more than just the Aggies, it is about the heart and spirit of winners, that happen to be Aggies! For at least the next year, we will savor this victory and constantly remind last years national champions that trophies do not make you a champion alone, you must also have continued perseverance and determination to walk into the palace of victory.
