Don’t normally get worked up over the Super Bowl. Might next year if Vince takes his Titans there. Also I have friends in Indiana and Illinois, and so hesitate to root for one team or the other. Except for a real good former Longhorn, Nathan Vasher, who plays for the Bears. Vasher was outstanding for Texas, and he’s a good player for the Bears, despite being one of their lowest paid. So I’ll go for the Bears, and hope Nate has a good game. Altho from what I’ve seen of the game so far, in the pouring monsoon in Miami, it would help to have web feet. They even call baseball games on account of rain.
UPDATE Well, they lost, but Vasher had six tackles, four of them solo. I also forgot Texas ex Cedric Benson, a Bears’ running back. Shouldn’t have forgotten him. He might have helped get the Bears a win if he hadn’t left the game in the first quarter with a twisted ankle. He was the only one likely to break a regrettable stat: no former Longhorn has ever made a touchdown in a Super Bowl.
