I know a lot of people were proud and happy when Texas won the National Championship but give me a break. The man isn't god.
To celebrate Vince Young is to celebrate greatness.
You sense you are in the presence of greatness the moment he enters a room. Adults and children are in awe. Teammates love him, opponents respect him. There will never be another one like him.
Vince Young did things on a football field that made grown men cry. He brought happiness to millions, made their boring lives worth living. He wore orange, but Tech fans, Aggie fans, UH fans, all fans rooted for him as if he was their own. Such was his greatness.
He made an entire state--and probably an entire nation--feel good about itself. All Vince Young has been to Texans is everything.
That's why nothing that happens this year in sports will be as emotionally powerful as what The University of Texas has planned for August 30. That's when Vince Young's jersey No. 10 will be retired by the Longhorns.
I'm probably like a lot of you in that when I'm feeling down or have had a bad day at work I put in the DVD of that Rose Bowl. No matter how many times I watch it, I'm still inspired by it, moved by it.
It makes me want to work harder, to accomplish more. It makes me want to make Vince proud.
