Texas may not be overrated as they have been in the past.  I was 
extremely suprised at how well they (we) played.

Auburn has one of the nicest campuses (campi?) I have ever seen.
And all the people I talked to were extremely polite even after the
game.  This was my first trip into the "deep south" and I was very
impressed.  I have run into impolite and even down-right mean fans
in other places (none of which I shall name) but these folks were
great.

Does anybody out there (esp. in 'Bama?) know what the deal is with
Auburn's mascot?  We asked several people there and they weren't sure.
The story there was they had always been War Eagles and someone coined
Tigers one time and it kinda hung around.  Half their shirt/hats say War
Eagles and half say Tigers.  I grew up in Texas always hearing Tigers
and had never heard War Eagles until I went over there.

Any UT ex's or fans out there not in Austin?  I'd like to hear from you.
Hook 'em 'Horns!
