Remembering the Alamo in advance

It's now official—Penn State is going to the Alamo Bowl on December 29 (my father's birthday!). Our opponent is reported to either be Texas A&M or Texas Tech, though I have to admit, I'm a little disappointed it wasn't the University of Texas. I say that because my friend Anne is a Texas grad, and I don't think her Longhorns have played my Nittany Lions since maybe 1990! Plus, this way I'd at least have had someone to make a friendly football wager with (despite my track record this season).
