Texas Longhorns football fans have a favor to ask of Sen. Ted Cruz: Please stay away from their game on Saturday against Georgia.
Many of the Texas fans going to the game support the Republican senator, who is seeking to fend off an election challenge from Democrat Colin Allred on Nov. 5.
This is about much more than politics. The top-ranked Longhorns host No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs in the Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. Texas fans want to win. Some of them are so serious that theyve started a petition on Change.Org asking Cruz to stay away from the stadium. As of Friday morning, the petition has nearly 1,500 signatures. Its the Cruz Curse. Or jinx. Or simply a silly superstition.
And remember the Longhorns College Playoff Game earlier this year against Washington? Yep, he was at that game, too. The Longhorns lost 37-31. Of course, dont be surprised if the Georgia Bulldogs fans start a petition, asking Sen. Cruz to come to the game.

Ted Cruz is just plan bad luck.
Last year, his downright sinister energy kept Texas from making it to the NCAA Football Championship, and that's a risk we cannot take again.
The Longhorns deserve a season of GREATNESS! We are the best, most passionate fans here in the heart of Texas. We can't let an outsider like Cr*z, someone who didn't even go to UT, who roots for whatever team he thinks will get Texans to like him, ruin Texas Longhorn sports.
He should stick to the Aggie sidelines.
Sign this petition to help get T*d Cr*z banned from DKR and ALL Texas Longhorn sporting events FOR LIFE!
