A generational hate-watch of a game

It’s a “root for the asteroid” scenario

We were pulling for a sinkhole to engulf the stadium

I feel like there’s something to be drawn from how someone reacts to a hate watch game like this. I was happier to see my enemy suffering than I was sad to see my other enemy flourishing. A net positive for me, but my BIL was sadder to see Texas happy than he was happy to see A&M sad.

Don’t know which is worse.

A Former Lubbock Mayor echoed that right before kick off.

That reminds me (and is mostly off-topic), but I recently learned that in Austria, they kind of did. They even elected a Nazi President in the 80s (after being UN Secretary General in the 70s).

It’s the Stalingrad Paradox.

Which mass murderer despot do you want to win? The fascist one or the communist one?

Beat OU and A&M its just bonus football at this point.

Either way, I fucking hate it. I didn’t know what to hope for in this game given where each are ranked. Viscerally, instinctively whatever— I’m upset to see the Longhorns win.

Mad either way. Or the 20 turkey gobbler sliders I made from leftovers today and ate haven’t absorbed all the alcohol I’ve consumed from the last two days.

It’s both.

Hook me up to that Braum’s drip stat 😷😷😷
