As most of you know, Conor and I went to rival schools – he to the University of Texas and myself to Texas A&M University. This has posed quite a challenge for our baby girl as we both want her to be a fan of OUR team.
The battle has been quite civil within our family for the sake of a happy household, but friends of ours have been bombarding the house with branded apparel. Not that I mind, as Savannah outgrows things every day.
I will now present part I of our contest. In the name of fairness and good sportsmanship, I will begin with UT. (I will also be reshooting some of her pictures this week as she wasn’t in the best mood when I was taking these). YOU get to be the judge of which colors she looks best in. A poll will appear soon.
Pros for UT:
- Yes, they won the national championship in football last year. Also, as much as it pains me to write, they have beaten A&M the last five years in football.
- They were recently voted the nation’s #1 party school (this could also be listed as a con, I suppose).
- Austin is a great city, probably the best in Texas.
- Famous Longhorns? Lots of them. Janis Joplin, Walter Cronkite, Michael Dell (of Dell Computers) plus about a bazillion others in sports, science, etc.
- A great school in lots of areas. I didn’t go to UT and don’t care for them, so it’s hard for me to come up with a list of pros. I’m sure there are a bunch more. Longhorns, please feel free to put some in the comments section.
Cons for UT:
- I could go on and on and on with cons – they would probably degenerate into personal attacks, so I just won’t start. Just know that cons exist.
Rich - The Deible cousins are going to send her some Purdue stuff. It is her Grandfather’s school too.
christine - savannah’s so darn cute she even looks good in that icky burnt orange color
can’t wait to see how more beatiful she looks in the maroon and white!
