By Paige Hale Daily Texan Columnist

Last week, I wrote my column from the sandy beaches of the Georgia coast — 10 blissful days of margaritas, sunshine and the occasional kayaking adventure. All was well until I strolled from our cerulean umbrella and chairs toward the shore to take a swim. Being in Georgia Bulldog territory, I wore my Longhorn Ice Hockey baseball cap proudly. Minding my own business, I hear, “Roll Tide! Roll Tide!” and turn my burnt-orange-adorned head to see a group of older men sipping their Natty Ice and yelling their school’s chant. I politely smiled and endured the sounds following me until they died out. When I reached the safety of my Long- horn family, I was disgusted with the na- tional champions’ behavior. It’s July. When was that game? Oh, yes: January. Time to get over the fact that you won a game out of sheer luck. I cannot count the number of times on this trip that Alabama fans have ap- proached me to ridicule my UT wardrobe or Longhorn laptop bag. One such case occurred in an airport security line — at Erika Rich | Daily Texan Staff 5:30 in the morning.
