Quote by Bob Wells

In our family, mom and dad are Longhorns, our first two kids are Aggies and we're hoping our last one is a Longhorn. It gives us family fun on Thanksgiving Day.

In our family, mom and dad are Longhorns, our first two kids

Summary

This quote is a lighthearted explanation of how college football rivalries can create fun and camaraderie within a family. The speaker mentions that their parents both support the University of Texas (Longhorns) while their first two kids attend Texas A&M University (Aggies), which is a rival school. They express their desire for their youngest child to also support the Longhorns to continue the family tradition. This creates a playful dynamic during Thanksgiving, likely involving friendly banter and competition between family members who support different teams.
