NCAA 2009

Ugh, I'm annoyed Texas won. If Nebraska hadn't pulled a stupid and kicked that ball out of bounds, they would have won.

Well it was Texas' shitty special teams that nearly cost them the game.  It was only fair they return the favor.

Oh yea---MIM's uncle lives three blocks from the Rose Bowl. I literally found it by accident missing the onramp to the freeway leaving his place one day. --Go under onramp, whoa, WTF that's the Rose Bowl!!. Heh. Plans are in the works to go see the Rose Bowl games this year. At least the RB, but maybe the NC also. I'll be rooting for Texas in the latter, naturally.

According to ESPN, Cincy is ranked higher than Texas by the computers.

I wonder if there is any chance for TCU or Cincy to pass Texas. 1 theory I just saw was that in the Harris and Coach's Poll, any "anti-Texas" votes will likely be split between TCU and Cincy, making it harder for either one of them to pass Texas. Still, voters could definitely make it happen for TCU and Cincy if they want.

Heart attacks FTW 

Came down to a 46-yard field goal. With one second left. Jesus christ 

I got to tell you when Texas kicked that FG to go up 10-6 I was a little worried because they were giving up that field position and they would have to cover a kick off.  Man what an unbelievable collection of horrible special misscues.  Without those Texas would have won easily.  Well actually if Kirkendoll would have caught that stupid pass they would have won easily.  So many opportunities to make a play and alot of people blew it.  I am just glad Hunter didn't.

How about that defense eh?

Man Texas doesn't win these Big XII things easily.

I do not really know why that would be.  Texas' schedule is ranked ahead of Cinci and they have the same record...why would they be ranked higher?  The computers never cease to boggle me.

Anyway if they want to vote TCU or Cincy ahead I guess I couldn't fault them.  They also played their schedules and went undefeated.

Defense was impressive, but Nebraska's offense wasn't exactly stellar. Alabama though...

Hunter Lawrence is God tonight.

Eh every game has been different.  Bama has certainly had their struggles this year.

If Texas gets the chance...well we will just see how it goes.

That offensive line though...man HORRIBLE.

Yeah Lawrence gets a statue besides Dusty Mangum.

I saw this posted by Dant Wetzel on Mccoy's final play:

Ironic play, if Suh hadn't pressured McCoy on last pass, McCoy would've held it until time ran out. He had no idea what he was doing.

That's a good point. Mccoy definitely was NOT aware of the game clock. Texas is extremely lucky, IMO.

I do think Texas will give Alabama a very good game, and has a decent chance to win, even though they have not necessarily looked dominant this year. Bowl games are so different from regular season games, and sometimes really hard to prect. Mack Brown and Nick Saban are both really smart coaches, and having over a month to get ready is plenty.

Fortunately, Bama doesn't have Suh. And that "SUUUHHHH" chant annoyed the hell out of me. Fuck that shit.

They have had their moments but that offensive line has just KILLED Texas this year against good defense.  McCoy has been pretty heroic but man I did not understand those last three playcalls.  They go backwards twice then nearly run out the clock on a bizarre call.  I thought they were just going to run it a few times and kick.  Not sure what Mack and Greg Davis, the OC, were thinking.

Yep.  I am so glad we never have to see Suh play Texas again.  I just hope it comes down to a Hunter Lawrence FG again

I guess I am a Texas fan now, as much as that sucks.

Why does that suck?

If the O line plays like that against Alabama, Colt McCoy is gonna be destroyed.

Bring on TCU!

What...you want Bama to lose to a second straight mid major?
