It's all good, but what happens when a non-sports person like me receives an assignment to create an image representing the religion of Texas Longhorn football? Well, mistakes can happen. My first attempt almost made the paper. And the mistake I made, I'm told, would have been a punishable crime.
Do you see what's wrong? Well, apparently displaying a Longhorn logo upside down is considered sacrilegious in Longhorn country. If the original illustration had run in the paper, I'd have been hailed a folk hero by University of Oklahoma fans, and I'd have been tar-and-feathered here in my own city.
Making the change caused me to miss the VCFA graduation party for Anne Bustard and Lindsey Lane, but at least I can now safely walk the streets of Austin.

Oh thank goodness...I am so glad you are safe on the streets of Austin, Texas even though I was sad not to see you at the party.
