In case you missed it, this brought some warmth to my heart.
Here's a video of 31-point underdog Kansas beating Texas by going for 2 in OT:

The comments are entertaining. Some facts I gleaned from them:
- This is Kansas' first conference road win since 2008.
- Kansas snapped an 18-game conference losing streak.
- The kid who caught the pass is a walk-on fullback/tight end playing his first game on offense.
- Note how the team falls all over each other after they win. They're obviously not used to celebrating.
- I'd forgotten that Steve Sarkasian is the Texas coach now.
Regportedly the coach said this, though I didn't hear it in the post-game presser:
I'll be honest, I don't have anything prepared. They told me I wouldn't have to worry about post-victory interviews when I took the job. Should've been a red flag, probably.

And to think Harbaugh very nearly took the Kansas job in 2009.
