Dad is a Horn grad (business school and law school), and is unfortunately in severe decline with Alzheimer’s, and has been suffering mini-strokes lately. We’re at a rehab hospital watching in his room.

Really sad but tragi-comic funny to watch the game with him. Three times since the game started, he’s asked “Who are we playing? Where are they playing?”

He’ll nod off, but perked up when they scored their first touchdown.

But appreciate being able to share this time with him. He used to come to almost all the Tech-Ut games, including 2008, and he still gives me crap about us costing them a national championship.
Anyway, for a few hours I’m a Longhorn fan just to see the look on his face if they win.
