R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives takes special 
pleasure in the outcome of the 2003 House vs. Senate Football Game, 
which the house team won handily, 37-24; and
	WHEREAS, Appropriately played at House Park in Austin, the 
flag football game featured squads made up of staffers from each of 
their respective legislative houses, with the house team determined 
to avenge last year's defeat at the hands of their senate 
counterparts; and
	WHEREAS, On the strength of several big plays and a superb 
performance by many of the female staff members, the house team took 
an 18-7 lead at the half; the house juggernaut exploited the 
senate's porous defense throughout the contest, torching their foes 
for 37 points en route to reclaiming the Capitol Cup; and
	WHEREAS, Although their lack of athletic prowess in no way 
reflects on the senate team's ability to perform their legislative 
duties, the contest's outcome should serve notice to the members of 
that esteemed body that the house staffers have brought their "A" 
game for the 78th session; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby harass, poke fun at, and otherwise lord it over 
the senate football team for the crushing loss it suffered at the 
hands of a clearly superior opponent in the 2003 House vs. Senate 
Football Game; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for the members of the senate football team as a memento of 
this notable occasion by their friends in the Texas House of 
Representatives.
