I'll probably get mugged for this, but they played to lose today. Nebraska should have taken that W home.
I agree with you both, Texas just barely got that field goal to squeek by. They won't win next time playing like that. They will get smoked ,and I'm a big Texas fan. I think Alabama is just mucho mas caliente for them longhorns this year. But am still hoping for an upset.
Not sure I "ride Texas". Last night I was an observer of a football game without any claim to either team. I watched several football games yesterday where I had no stake in who wins or loses and commented on the teams and their performance. Like Pitt and Cincy. One screw up by Pitt. Just like I lived with "a free throw can win a game" Pitt crashed because they screwed up an PAT early on and it bit them in the end.
"Riding Texas"? No. Come on Alan. Not everyone who does comment is doing so with a chip on their shoulder. You know as well as anyone here that they played like ass yesterday whether you root for them or not. Nebraska came to play.
Why in the hell would you take a chance on time running out by throwing the ball out of bounds with only one second on the clock. STUPID.......STUPID!

Well the problem is the offensive play calling and not sticking with the run. I guarantee you if they kept running Newton, he would start clicking and break some runs....
That being said, I am watching the BCS bowl selections and it is pretty insulting to the teams that are undefeated to have all the hoopla and tell them how lucky they are to be going to the Fiesta Bowl (read TCU and Boise, and Cincy in the Sugar)...
I am a huge UT fan and have been all my life, but, its also insulting to us to not have a playoff. We as a team should want to beat everyone to get there to prove we are the undisputed champion, but there will always be a doubt for whoever wins since there are undefeated teams left hanging out there.
