The 'horror' would be seen in the eyes of the opponents, upon our taking the field! :lol: :thumbup:

You are correct. The "horror" would by the "opponents" that a major university could, would and did choose so poorly. The "opponents" are in "horror" that the young impressionable women will be so traumatized by their having to wear, for four years, such an atrocious choice. :mrgreen: :twisted:

The cost for the poor darling's counseling is beyond imagination. :lol: :lol:

Having said that....C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S -LAUREN!

:thumbup: Our ladies won again, tonight, 10-7 vs. Louisiana-Lafayette. They and LSU both are ranked in the top 20 in the nation. I'm not sure about North Carolina. Texas is currently #10. That's 3-0, with a bullet, for our LadyHorns. Our 3rd & 4th pitchers shared the mound for the game tonight. Lauren & Gabby Smith will be pitching the games Saturday and Sunday, most likely.

BTW, Lauren Batten pitched against my Granddaugher, Lauren Slatten, earlier today. Kind of strange, I thought.

GO, LADYHORNS!!! (burn't orange & white, AuntiE)

The similarity in names is strange.

Go by schools with purple/white and burgundy/white. You still have not told me which two my choices were. :mrgreen:

AuntiE, I listed the two biggest schools in Texas with those two color combinations, on page one...TCU & Texas A&M. I also said there were several other, smaller schools, with the same colors. I did not name the smaller schools. :roll:

I missed the posting with the TCU and Texas A&M. Obviously TCU will be first. Their colors are just Raven.

Perhaps, we should both go nighty-night...due to our lack of sleep last night. We are showing signs of exhaustion. :oops:

BTW, my cousin is a graduate of TCU. He is no 'Raven Lunatic'. :lol:

Yeah, but his nickname was "Booger"! :shock:

Our Grandfather, when looking for him, always asked, "where is that little booger?" Thus, he became "Booger". TMI? :mrgreen: :thumbup:

With that charming anecdote, I will call it a day/night! 8-)
