Texas Squeaks by...

By the hair of their chinny-chin-chin Texas got by Colorado on Saturday. If not for that late fumble it would have been closer. Now it's Rose Bowl time and undefeated USC.


A lot happened on December 5th in history. Let's see...the first native U.S. president, Martin Van Buren, was born in 1782...In 1791, composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart died at age 35....In 1848, President Polk started the Gold Rush of 1849 by confirming that gold had been discovered in California....Walt Disney was born...Republicans chose Newt Gingrich to be the first GOP speaker of the House in four decades in 1994.

Whew, now that's a busy day in History.
