Alamo Bowl Disaster

... but if you argue that it is not cool, damn you. It's an Earl Campbell throwback. Throwback to the HORNS! It's his college jersey. I must admit though, I just own it and have worn it only once. (I felt the team needed the spirit of Earl so I broke it out) If that jersey is not cool... I'm lame. At least I'm lame with an Earl jersey.

Otherwise, the CornSuckers did play better. I'm not going to say they played well. I'm just saying they won. What I'm really trying to say is Nebraska sucks and I hate them. So there you go.

HOOK 'EM!!!!!!

...was just brutal.

Nebraska won in spite of themselves. Any other coach hands the ball off to Ross until somebody stops him.

And how many times are you gonna run between the 20s, only to throw exclusively once your inside the 20?!

jerseys when we were in the airport.  

There was an 8 year old with a #10 on and I said that should be the largest size they make.  But then some fatass would try to work themselves into it.

... that this wasn't you.

I didn't think it was you at all, I was just having fun putting the fanblog story here.

Good comments on the Alamo Bowl (It was one of the first matchups of the bowl season worth watching but I didn't end up seeing it myself).   Picking on the fashion sense of Nebraska fans is a bit of an easy shot though.    That's sort of like heckling at the special olympics.

I agree with you that if UT can stop USC's run game that would be a big step towards winning the game.    If the SC passing game is shut down then they can win by running nearly every down, but they are less likely to win if they end up passing most plays.

But from what I saw of the A&M game I'm not sure that shutting down the Trojans running game is likely to happen.  I saw some runs up the middle with 8 men in the box that still got plenty of yards.  I think UT has the defensive talent to hold Bush to under 100 yards, the problem is that LenDale White might run for 180 while that is happening.    A big problem with defensing SC is that White has the speed to get outside for long runs and that Bush has much more power between the tackles than most people assume.    The runs where he runs into a pile at the line of scrimmage and pushes them back 2 yards don't make the highlight shows.    And the Trojans OL tends to open up lots of holes to run through inside.

That officiating was atrocious. I was stunned, although he was right, that Mike Tirico, live on air, had the gall to say, "This is the worst officiated game I've ever seen."

Anyone see VY on the Holiday Bowl halftime show? Actually looked collected and cool, kind've dents my assertion he's going to come into the Rose Bowl, under pressure and trying to prove something.

Although, Texas fans can't be happy about how he's talking nowadays when asked if he's going to turn pro...considering just weeks ago he was saying he was returning to Texas.

How can a team with horses like Hart and Breaston manage to stagger around and NOT find the endzone every other possession?  Maybe if Manningham could actually CATCH a pass (or henne hit what he was aiming at) things might have been different.  But if you believe the CW, there was no way Nebraska should have been able to hang in that game against a clearly superior team (sound familiar?).  Maybe the Big 12 isn't so full cupcakes and keystone kops as either coast would have us believe.  Just maybe.  In any case, we should all feel Michigan's pain, they are completely underachieving and suffer from truly unworthy coaching.  

Re: asking VY about going pro, he has to at least  consider it, quarterbacks in the NFL are SOOOOO bad he could go in the 1st round and start somewhere.  I don't know what we're paying him (haa i keed!) but it's not as much as he'll make in the pros.  That's fine, reload and get on with next year should he declare.

Now if the &^@#$ing Sooners would wake up and assert themselves the Big 12 might get some 'spect, bunch of candyasses.  Those ridiculous ducks have freaking INDUSTRIAL GRATING imprinted on their knees- what does that mean?!  Freaking Nike, they should be banned from campus.  Dern black unis.  

Ah, the Ducks didn't want to be here. We all know that Oregon was the better team in this game, just like the Texas Tech victory did not reflect the fact that Cal was the much better team in the Holiday Bowl last year. Oregon should've been a BCS team despite this loss.

 I'm not saying USC deserved to have two beaten opponents in the BCS; O should've taken the place of Notre Dame, which I expect to lose (but perhaps keep it close) against Ohio St.

But all CFB is is history and in the end all that the books will show is that the Ducks blew it in the 2005 Holiday Bowl.

The BCS games are more 'important' because they are the BCS. Because four 'big' bowls and the six major conferences have come together and decided that they will crown the national 'champion' and in addition invite the best of the best to play in their bowls. By not being invited you are told you are not one of the best. Of course noone wants to be told that they are not good enough to be in the most selective bowls and therefore everyone wants to be in a BCS bowl. It is the BCS and the media that creates that hype that we all believe and that feeds on itself.
