Go Bama and Boomer Sooner....

forever a Sooners fan! even though it would be good for the conference, i'll never root for texas. ROLL TIDE!!!

Blow Tide!! Low Tide!! (I am a Sooner fan in SEC country.)

I live in Arlington, TX. My two favorite teams are the OU Sooners, and whoever is playing the Tex-Ass LongWhores. Roll Tide!

Rick

All I hear around here is how much better the SEC is than the Big XII. Texas is not my team but, they ain't in the Southwestern Conference anymore.

End of the 1st half,ALA-24 tex-6!!!! Colt Mccoy knocked out! ROOOOOOOOLL TIDE!!

I am enjoying it, the streets down here will be filled with tears.....and Sixth Street will be filled with puke.

For all the Tex-Ass fans who cheered their ass off when Bradford was knocked out of the OU-TX game: Karma is a bitch!

Rick

I feel so sorry for Colt, he's a really good kid...

But MAN am I enjoying this game! I love for nothing more than coach clap clap to loose that stupid smirk :ou

EDIT: Off topic but did anyone see Lee Corso? He sounded like he had a few drinks right before the halftime show.

Corso had a minor stroke: ESPN - Lee Corso of ESPN GameDay recovering after minor stroke (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/news/story?id=4213090)

Oh dang, now I feel bad

I vaguely remembered something about it at the start of the season, so I looked it up after the first GameDay that I saw this season.

End of the 1st half,ALA-24 tex-6!!!! Colt Mccoy knocked out! ROOOOOOOOLL TIDE!! Do I not understand something or are you happy that a player got hurt?

Some cheered in the Cotton Bowl when Sam was knocked out of the game and I heard some crap about "karma" down here after last season. Looks like it may have come back on them.

It's too bad Colt got knocked out but as I heard all season after the injuries piled up for OU this season...that's football.

Kind of hard to win without your starting QB. However, the coaches are losing this game for Texas.

I guess that some people would be glad that OU had injuries this season. I don't.. I don't wish injuries on anyone.

well I might have spoke to soon its 24-21 Bama in the 4th w/ 6 min left!

Make that 37-21...

Thank you Alabama :yourock:

They whined about not being able to play in the Big 12 Champ last year, and they will for sure whine about losing this game.

Colt and Sam are friends and they do text each other. Latest inside scoop....

"Back at ya, sucker!" Sam texted to Colt minutes after the injury. Oh what a world!

Proud of both Colt and Sam for having a competitiveness as well as a friendship.

Roll Tide! Tuck Fexas for sure. Brown pissed and moan and now it's come back to bite him in the rear just as it should.

na ne na ne boo boo...:ou:ou2

I feel bad for McCoy as he does seem to be a decent kid, but I sure enjoyed watching Texas lose the NC. I don't know which is worse, losing your star QB at the start of the season or in the championship game.

I guesss I'm in the minority. Although I'm a HUGE OU fan and long time season ticket holder, and to be truthful beating Texsux makes my year, but last night I wanted Texas to win. I always pull for conference teams in bowl games.....for conference pride. I hated hearing the S E C, S E C chants starting as early as the third quarter. The SEC has now won 6 f the last 7 national cahmpionships. The big XII is 1-4 in BCS championship games over that same period.

The SEC and their ass kissing network ESPN can now claim with little arguing that they are the best conference in college football....that might be true. But I'd like to say the Big XII is pretty good, why anyone would root against our confrence is hard to concieve. Even if its Texas they are rooting against. I want OSU and Texas to be the 2nd and 3rd best teams in the country....as long as OU beats them. And OU almost beat Texas with a backup QB this year. We outgained them, outplayed them, but lost. I'd rather lose to the eventual national champions tham to an also ran. Plus I'd rather OU have more national Championships than anyone else.....Alabama winning this year doesn't help. Theres a chart below listing NC winners since 1936.

For those of you that are happy that Colt got injured........you are no better than those Texas fans who cheered when Sam got hurt. Colt is a fine kid and a great qb. He's also someones son. Do you cheer when anyone elses son gets injured playing sports and having thier lifetime dream wiiped away in one hit? Maybe thats whats wrong with society today.

Congratulations to Alabama for winning the game.....but I don't think we'll ever know who the best team in the coutry was this year. That killed the game for me. With a healthy Colt Mccoy the score could have been much much different. Perhaps Texas would have blown the tide out of the stadium. Maybe not, we'll never know.

You got to feel bad for Gilbert. That freshamn has a lot on his shoulders today. Maybe thats Macks fault for not playing him more during the season. Next year should be interesting in the big XII. No Colt Mccoy, no Sam Bradford, no Zac Robinson. no Ndamukong Suh at Nebraska. Sounds like a pretty even playing field.

Any predictions for next season in the Big XII? Nebraska will still have an awesome defense, OU will have landry with a few games under his belt but a very tough schedule (though OU does not play Nebraska in 2010), and Texas will have Gilbert........I hope. Now that My rant against all the Texas haters are done I'll prepare for next year

I mighta rooted for Texas, but nobody likes me well enough to take me out and get me so stinking tanked my brain could be fooled into rootin' for the Horns

SEC still reigns dominant. i hated seeing colt get hurt b/c now all these fans can whine and say they would have won with him. boo hoo. last time i checked colt mccoy didnt play defense.

I guesss I'm in the minority. Although I'm a HUGE OU fan and long time season ticket holder, and to be truthful beating Texsux makes my year, but last night I wanted Texas to win. I always pull for conference teams in bowl games.....for conference pride.
I used to lean little more that way about the Whorns...before I moved to Texas, especially after how last season ended. Mack and the fans definitely won the 2008 Whiner's National Championship last season.

Okay, some rooted for TX, some not, but can we all agree about Brent Musburger sucking? That guy makes me want to kick in the TV.

last time i checked colt mccoy didnt play defense.

Nope....he doesn't. But then he doesn't throw interceptions as much as Gilbert did either. Texas outgained Alabama in total offense.....276-263. And with 3:00 minutes left in the game and Texas trailing by only 3, you have to admit it might have been a different outcome had Gilbert (a freshman in his first real game) hadn;t fumbled, (Alabama then scored on a 3 yard touchdown which took them 3 plays to get.) Then Gilbert threw a horrible pass direclty to the Alabama player. The last touchdown was meaningless. No disrespect to Bama.....they won and exciting game. And Ingram is awesome.

And yes MM Brent sucked, and it sucked that they didn't give Keith Jackson a mic during the pregame coin flip.

Colt is a class act. If you saw the interview after the game, it was almost heart-wrenching. I say almost because he is from Texas after all. Here is a must read article on Yahoo: Agonizing night for Texas QBs - College Football - Rivals.com (http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/news?slug=dw-texasqbs010810&prov=yhoo&type=lgns)

I also think Alabama let up a bit, put themselves on cruise control then had to turn the heat back up. Plus remember, Bama lost Ingram for a good stretch of the game also.

I don't think Gilbert could have driven the field if he had to, all of their scores came off big pass plays, every time they (either Greg Davis or the Bama defense) tried to make him grind it out they faltered. Even when Bama gave them the gifts early they could only get field goals and that was with Colt on at least the first drive.

Bama went into shell mode for most of the game after they got up on them trying to not have their freshman QB make a mistake, I saw a report today where he played with a cracked rib(s).

Like I told one today when he said the "game would have been different if Colt would have played" I said and so you think the OU-Texas game would have been different if Bradford hadn't of re-injured his shoulder since it was only a 3 point game? He just mumbled.....

Anyone who thinks Texas would have won last night if Colt McCoy wasn't injured, did you not see the SEC title game where Bama destroyed Florida? I will admit the first five minutes last night were mind boggling, from Coach Satan-um-Saban electing to go on offense to Texas running down the field and scoring, Bama fumbles and gives it right back to them, etc.

However i do think the Tide Defense would have adjusted to Texas and shut them down fairly quickly after that first drive. It probably would have been more competitive than 37-21 but we will never know.

Texas should have lost the Big 12 game, and they struggled against OU and our backup players. The rest of their schedule were basically cupcakes and they had problems in the first half at Wyoming, at home against the Tech Tards, also at home against ATM. The Big 12 kind of sucked this year too. I do hate to see McCoy injured and he really does seem like a good guy. Im glad Texas lost though.

This was a great day. I was in the Million Dollar Band when we won our last National Championship, so it's been a long dry spell!

At the end of the day, with or without Colt the Texas defense needed to stop the run, which they did not. And remember...Bama's defense has studied tape of McCoy, not Gilbert. LOL is there even tape of Gilbert?

Hey Longhorns!
Hey Longhorns!
We just beat the hell outta you!
Rammer Jammer Yellowhammer,
Give 'em hell Alabama!

-Chris-

... LOL is there even tape of Gilbert? ...


Probably some from HS. I dinna catch all the talking heads were saying, but in the parts of the game where I did overhear them it sounded like the lad hadn't taken very many snaps outside of the practice field.

Gilbert had some snaps in mop up duty during the season, he played in 9 games (stats include the BCS game), was 30/66 for 310 yards with 2 TD and 4 INT's.

Gilbert was phenomenal in high school, we saw a few of his games. In his final two seasons at Lake Travis (4A) they lost one game early in 2007 to Westlake (5A and where Drew Brees went HS), LT has won the last three 4A championships (2007-Division 2, 2008-09-Division 1) and is on a 44 game win streak. His father Gale was a NFL QB at Seattle (85-86), Buffalo (90-93) and San Diego (95-96). He was also the starting QB for Cal in the Stanford game that gave us "The Play" where the Stanford Band was on the field.

We recruit against Texas, and anytime Texas wins anything, it hurts OU and OSU recruiting (if you want to be bipartisan). It doesn't help the Big Twelve enough to make hurting OU worth it for Texas to win, IMO. So, it was a happy night in my household when Alabama won.

I do have to say that neither team impressed me that much. For Texas to be able to do against BAMA with an untried quarterback what it had trouble doing against OU and Nebraska with Colt McCoy the entire game, makes me wonder just how good BAMA really is. They may have really been up for that Florida game, because they had at least one close game against a lesser opponent this year.

A couple of points to remember here...there was a really long layoff between the Big 12 / SEC title games and the National Championship. Also, BAMA had a big lead at the half and basically they slept through most of the 3rd and 4th quarters. Ingram was hurt and out of the game for a considerable amount of time and their QB McElroy was playing with injured ribs. I think this is part of the reason Texas got back into the game. If BAMA would have played Texas like they played Florida for 60 minutes this score would have been absurd. For once im actually glad OU wasn't playing for the Championship.

good points there stratosphere.

Now there's a report that Pete Carroll, USC Coach, is going to the Seattle Seahawks. If so, it will open up USC for recruiting again. TTech's open, too, so maybe there might be a wide receiver or tight end or 2 that might reconsider.

Colt is a class act. If you saw the interview after the game, it was almost heart-wrenching.

I hate it when reporters go up to the losing team members and ask, "So, how does it feel to have all your dreams shattered on national TV?" Did you see Colt's face? Kudos to him for regaining his composure and giving a sportsman-like answer.

texas tech just hired tommy tuberville, who last coached at auburn as head coach.

Ya know what's worse than a Alabama fan?... Two of em.

Yes. Why does he stupid crap like "he's growing up right before our eyes"? Shut it Brent!

Ya know what's worse than a Longhorn fan?... Two of em.
Fixed that for ya....

Fixed that for ya.... Thats funny..but, if you are ever around Alabama fans, they are the most obnoxious SOB's ever.

Considering I live in the middle of Whornville......they would give them a run for their money.

wow, i would say that about a lot of OU fans.

Ya know what's worse than a Alabama fan?... Two of em.

Elder son now lives in 'bama. He decided to root for Texas. His explanation ...
the only thing worse than Texas winning a NC is putting up with the Bama fans.

I agree 100% westsidesooner. The problem OU has is that too many OU fans think OU football is determined by what Texas does. Some people actually think the OU chant is "Texas Sucks". Talk about letting yourself being defined by others. If Texas football went away today would OU football also cease to exist? Some OU fans think so.

Another SEC head coach coming to the Big XII. Didn't they learn anything from the last time that was tried?

"Texas Sucks" is just one of many OU chants, just like "Wait Until Next Year" is one of OSU's.

At least it isn't in our fight song like UT, they have OU and A&M in theirs and A&M has an anti-UT phrase in theirs.

yea ole sherman hasn't really worked out very well has he?

isn't that who you're referring to kerry?

Mike Sherman was the ex-Green Bay Packers coach, I think he was out out of the business when A&M hired him. Dennis Franchione was the coach before him who A&M hired from Bama but he spent most of his coaching career in Kansas (starting out) and Texas. Mainly A&M was trying to get back at Bama for hiring Bear Bryant away from them.

thanks blue! thats who i was thinking of, not sherman (duh), but franchione.

good stuff.

At least it isn't in our fight song like UT, they have OU and A&M in theirs and A&M has an anti-UT phrase in theirs.

Where's the mention of OU in the lyrics of "Texas Fight?"

When UT scores a touchdown, the band plays "The Eyes of Texas" and near the conclusion of the song, the crowd belts out a loud "OU SUCKS!" Its nothing official, but they do it every game, and I'm almost certain I heard it yelled when UT first scored in the Rose Bowl.
