Vote for Fun: Play the Game

There’s something transcendent about beating a football rival. You float on air for hours and days afterward, colors come more sharply into focus, and the air around you is vibrant and crisp. Your cheeks are permanently creased in a smile and your feet never seem to touch the ground. Postgame 1999, I drifted with a group of friends from Kyle Field, over train tracks and fields, greeting everyone we met with ebullience and outright joy. We ended up in front of the West Campus Library, where one of us hopped on a spare bike, rode it into the lobby in a circle, screamed “BEAT THE HELL OUTTA TEXAS” to rancorous approval, and rode right back out and put the bike back in its place.
