Thanksgiving 2010

This Thanksgiving we had everyone over to my parents house for lunch. We had such a good time hanging out and catching up! My mom always decorates so pretty.

For dinner I went to Brittney's great grandparents house. The food was just as delicious and I was stuffed! While at their house we watched the A&M/UT game....I wore my Aggie shirt for good luck and fortunately this shirt had better luck than my Cowboy's jersey. THEY WON!

Cyrus Gray rushed for 223 yards and two touchdowns to help Texas A&M beat Texas 24-17 in college football Thursday, sending the Longhorns to their first losing season since 1997.

Gray had touchdown runs of 84 yards in the second quarter and 48 yards in the third. Von Miller intercepted a tipped pass at the Texas A&M 11-yard line with 2:37 left to kill what looked like a drive for the tying touchdown.

Jeff Fuller also caught a touchdown pass and Randy Bullock kicked a 50-yard field goal for the No. 17-ranked Aggies (9-3, 6-2 Big 12).

Texas’ fifth home loss of the season means the Longhorns (5-7) won’t be eligible for a bowl just one season after playing for the national championship.

Texas A&M scored 17 points off three Texas turnovers and led 24-14 after Gray’s second touchdown. Texas kicked a field goal after a blocked punt and used a long drive to march toward a touchdown before Garrett Gilbert’s pass was tipped at the line of scrimmage.

Texas had never had a losing season under coach Mack Brown but completely fell apart after quarterback Colt McCoy and a host of other players ended their careers. The Longhorns have lost five home games this season.

The Longhorns’ struggles have intensified speculation among fans that Brown will replace one or more assistant coaches, including longtime offensive coordinator Greg Davis. Davis has said he doesn’t plan to retire.

The Aggies, meanwhile, have made a complete turnaround in coach Mike Sherman’s third season. After seasons of 4-8 and 6-7, the Aggies can now achieve their first 10-win season since 1998.

GIG 'EM AGGIES!!!!
