Maybe Texas Fans Aren't Excited, Either

Maybe Texas fans aren't excited about the Fiesta Bowl either. According to the Austin American Statesman, 1,000 tickets remain from the Texas allotment of 17,500.

The Longhorns are doing a bit better than Ohio State, but still you would think Longhorn fans would be excited about an 11-1 team.

Perhaps it was the BCS screw-job, or the OU lovefest continuing with Sam Bradford winning the Heisman, but let's talk about the date.

MONDAY, January 5th.

How many people do you know can't go because it would be virtually impossible to get two more days off of work after being off for the holidays? I know the first of the month is my busiest time of the month work-wise, and my boss would probably laugh in my face if I requested the 5th and 6th of the month off.

I realize that the NFL playoffs are on Saturday and Sunday and you might not want to go up against those games, but work with us a little bit. Very rarely do they have a NFL game on that Sunday night. Even that date would be better than a Monday night immediately after the holidays.

Or better yet, have the game on the damn first of January like it used to be. You don't have to spread these games out, people are going to watch them regardless.
