The guantlet you have faced to date and will finish facing next week has been brutal, and darn near unprecedented in our long, proud history. No doubt you are tired, perhaps a little weary and likely a little banged up. But dig deep, look inside yourselves and find whatever it takes to propel you through one more tough contest. This is it gents, your ticket to the Big 12 championship and hell, maybe more. But fear not, for you have the tools to win - all you need is to bring the heart...and we'll provide support, you won't be alone in the desert. And when you get this one done, you can breathe a bit. You will have earned it. You can rest some and relax a bit. There is light at the end of the tunnel...unfortunately that tunnel runs under Lubbock. But we'll be there with you, holding the lantern and helping you to find your way back to the Austin beacon. And then you can rest. Hook'em Boys!!
Aye, fight and you may die, run and you'll live. At least a while. And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom?! Alba gu bra!
This is one week for Kirk Bohls to show he's a true Homer. No time to write realistically how it might all come to an end based on Fermat's theorem or quantum mechanics probabilities or the likelihood the Higgs particle really exists. This time it has to be about heart and just that it can be no other way.
