NCAA Football, 2016

What a game. Big win for Texas, Valmy, Charlie Strong, and the Big 12. And since they beat Notre Dame, a big win for humanity.

That was the Charlie Strongiest game I have ever seen 

Only his version of Texas could score a big TD to go ahead and then have the extra point blocked and run back to tie it

But an amazing game. I told you Texas was going to be pretty good this season. I did not think they would be able to beat Notre Dame though.

The first win over Notre Dame since the 1970 Cotton Bowl. There are alot of Irish inflicted Longhorn tears in those 46 years including two losses that cost Texas National Championships. It was nice to get one back. And is there any way better to win than the walk off Touchdown?

See, I've got mixed feelings about this one.  Since WVU is in the Big 12 now, I want the Big 12 to be a strong conference, so Texas being back is good in that regard.  And I like Charlie Strong and some of their players.  OTOH, I don't like Texas as such (apologies to Valmy) largely because I don't like the way that it seems that they try to rig the Big 12 to their own benefit. 

And then one the other side, there's Norte Dame.  I respect the heck out of Norte Dame football, but I don't actually like them.

in the end, this was a great game, and since I had no particular rooting interest either way, that's all I could really ask for.

Congrats Valmy. We suck again--I should become a BYU fan. It is becoming clear they have the stonger god.

Texas has had administrative chaos for years. I don't think they are really in position to be puppet masters these days. But I understand Texas gets to be the evil sinister force behind every conspiracy theory these days. Granted the idiotic loud mouthed former AD did a great job stoking those fires.

As far as rigging it in Texas' benefit they have won it three times since 1996. If Texas is rigging it I wish they would at least get a little bit more production.

Which is why their receivers are allowed to be decapitated.  You see, the spinal cord has to be completely dislodged through the catch.

Notre Dame has a great coach and a great program. They lost a ton of guys off last year's team and look ready to reload. Stay the course, don't go buying your magical underwear just yet.

Brian Kelly is a piece of shit.

Maybe but he is a hell of a football coach.

Should have held on to the ball.

We shall see. My take: ND has a good QB, good RBs, and a good OL. After Tori Hunter left the game, the receiver corps was badly overmatched.

The defense? Nothing good can be said.

It isn't like I have lived through the past decade+ of ND football to give up now, but this doesn't look like a really good team.

Is Hunter ok? I hoped, since he kept trying to get up, that maybe it was just a precaution.
