It's long been said that cockroaches and Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards will be the last creatures standing or crawling on earth. And especially in these dystopic times of outrageous inflation, high crime, Covid variants, and TikTok, many folks are not optimistic about the years ahead.
Then again, if you're a Longhorn football fan, maybe the future looks to improve semi-soon. In the SEC, Texas won't have to play TCU, the original creepy spoilers. Decades before fictional gangster Tony Montana weighed in on what he called "cock-a-roaches" in Al Pacino's "Scarface," Darrell Royal compared the Horned Frogs of 1961 -- a motley band with only two wins before taking down top-ranked Texas in Austin -- to everyone's least favorite insects.
The 2022 case of Horns v. Frogs reveals a setting that -- compared to at least the past 81 years -- shows the world to have spun topsy-turvy. It's as if a covey of post-Halloween witches have "spelled" DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium into a nether world of blazing perdition, with all things going bump in the night, or day, depending upon the whims of the TV moguls.
