Reasonable Conclusion
The final score was an elaborate plan to Texas Tech tOSU. McCoy and Quan wanted to end the game on a last second touchdown pass.
That’s the only reasonable explanation.

Cole should hand that award to Quan
Great game from both though

Definately agree
I was so hoping that Quan would get that award, then I hoped Colt would at least mention Quan.
By the way, I hope we never play Terrelle Pryor again.

That was so hard to watch. I didn’t have enough beer to calm my nerves. Great game though.
One thing, I really don’t think our Oline is that great. Hopefully the off season will allow for a lot of growth, but I really think the reason McCoy was the leading rusher is because he had to be so that he didn’t get sacked. He was hit very often this season.
Great year for the Horns. Exceeded my wildest expectations. I was expecting another 10-3 season.
Love being a Horn. UT is the best.

It is official now with his 70.7% tonight. Had no idea he passed so many times.
by HornigStrega on Jan 5, 2009 11:15 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Agreed.
While it was fun rooting for Cody, Fozzy, Vondrell and Chris every game hoping that one would step up, we must develop a feature back (or a solid #1 and 1a tag team) next year to have a legitimate chance at the MNC. Colt throwing the ball over 50 times (or 40 for that matter) is not a recipe for success in the long run.

that they scored with over 2 minutes left. Once it got under 3 minutes and they were driving I was screaming for them to let them score and save ourselves at least 2 minutes. People looked at me like I was crazy, until about 3 minutes later.
I don’t think we actually “let” them score, but I’m glad they scored when they did.

this is really a question you could have asked the entire second half of the seasons. but it was all the more curious today given this struggles of the short passing game. malcolm jenkins is very good but i felt we gave him too much respect, as if his presence ruled out any deep throws. williams burned him, and they lost two DBs to injury, why not go fishing against the backups.
by the chairman211 on Jan 5, 2009 11:31 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
No need
Obviously Malcolm is an immensely talented WR, but with Quan playing at the level he was last night finding open space throughout the game, there really wasn’t any need.
Like you said, if he throws a better ball on the deep route, we score 6. I still think Malcolm will be a BIG TIME player on next year’s squad. So will Brandon Collins.

I'm so proud of this team
and this university. I watched the game in Chicago in a bar full of Buckeye fans. Seated near me were the one cute girl in the bar (a Texas fan, of course) and two Michigan fans (who, we agreed, share a strange bond with Texas fans). I would have loved to blow this team out. But this win was delicious.
Great game, Horns. Hook ’em!

Yikes, is it possible the Horns will drop in the poll after win? The media loves the 1-loss Trojans and the undefeated Utah. My prediction
- - Obviously the winner of the NC game
- - USC, they beat the Big Ten Champ, Texas squeaked by the 2nd Big Ten team
- - Texas, nice win.
- - Florida (if they lose), Oklahoma will drop to #5 to #7

Gotta love it...
Texas keeps winning in the final weeks of the season and continues to drop the in the polls. At this point I think we can say f*** the polls. OU can have all of the Heismans and BCS/Bowl losses they want, I wouldn’t trade places with them for anything in the world. I don’t care if we finish @ #2 or #5. This team didn’t have the talent of the 2005 team, but finished @ 12-1 because of their overwhelming will to win. The 2005 team had a few situations where one missed play (like the Kansas road game) would have cost the chance at a national championship…the 2008 team just happened to get nipped by one play in Lubbock. There’s a lot of luck involved in winning it all and this team did everything it had to do to finish on top. In my mind, they will always be on top. Congratulations to a great team and a great program. With Muschamp and Applewhite involved and Gilbert coming in at QB in 2010, I think the program is in better shape than ever.
We’ve got an overachieving team that just gave Texas its fifth straight bowl win, with three of those coming in prime BCS games. Oklahoma has four straight bowl losses and stands on the edge of a fifth embarrassing loss. Mack Brown is one Jamaal Charles fumble away from winning the last four straight versus Stoops. Texas just moved ahead of OU in BCS Bowl victories.
Advantage: Texas.

ain’t no such thing. I think we can throw the USC road loss out due to B.Wells and T.Pryor not being at the helm. The PSU game hinged on one critical fumble. This Ohio State team, while discounted, was no joke. They had a real defense and Pryor has a great future ahead. I knew that this game would be closer than advertised, although I expected the “Texas didn’t win by enough” argument to emerge.

I don't think you can really criticize Pryor for his performance

He’s a terrible thrower though. They had no 3-step or 5-step game with him in there.

We’ve been watching Quan slip through the tOSU defenders for an hour now. Amazing that the buckies did not have anybody deeper – at least a safety on the goal line or sumpin.

Way to represent Longhorns, both your program and the Big 12.
It was an exciting and nailbiting game right to the finish line.
Finally one of your receivers broke a tackle a made a big play—huge play!
Game was similar to the NE/Clemson game, close and hard fought and the good guys prevailed at the end.
I only wish the Horns would have tried to go vertical more and ran Colt on some read option plays. Woulda loosened those guys up some.
Great win, thrilling game!

Well Colt
gave away at least 3 points at the end of the half. They managed nearly 500 yards of offense. Give OSU credit for tackling well (minus the last play).
The one criticism I would make is that they seemed to get away from their quick no-huddle stuff when it was 17-9. They slowed the game down a bit.

I was referring to the fact that they dominated the first half, but were up only 3. We may have put up deceptively similar numbers, but as they say in soccer, the buckeyes had more chances, and they mostly came away empty. It actually reminded me of the game in 05, when OSU also kept settling for field goals.
Even our half-time comment threads said as much, that we were lucky only to be down by 3.

Come on…. I want to type 39-33. You see zE bOp, this bunch will never forget. Though Texas Tech, the voters and the computers and themselves screwed up their year – who do they hate – The Sooners.

Texas Tech is not a part of this discussion. Right now, the topic of conversation is the clear superiority Texas carries in its rivalry against OU.
All rivalries actually.

zE bOp, Texas may drop to #4
I don’t think it will happen, but it could. USC will be #2, they beat the better Big Ten team. Texas will be no better than #3, and may drop to #4. I think Texas is better than Utah, but who knows with these darn voters – Right Texas fans. You know something about that.

Green 'leftover'?
I dunno, was among the top duel threat prospects in the country.
I know it may be hard to believe, but I’ve heard that there are areas in TX where fans and h.s. players don’t like the Horns, They like aTm or something. Maybe Green doesn’t like either.

You tell your kids
that in 2008 the Longhorns were NATIONAL CHAMPIONS! They don’t need some bs system to tell them otherwise. Any of you guys that are throwing around terms like “ugly win” and “not our best effort” are getting sucked into the mary kay cosmetics game that screwed us in the first place. IT’S A WIN! That was Ohio State out there not boise. Honestly, on Friday Texas, usc, utah and thursday night’s winner can claim a national championship. What a bullshit system that yields 4 teams claiming to be the best. Hook’em…NATIONAL CHAMPS 2008!

If there are 4 national champs....
Then there are NO national champs. And I think the latter is more true than the former, because you’re right, the system is completely flawed and incapable of determining any real champ at all.

Congratulations, Horns
Way to fight your way back. You did have me scared for a while, though, that we’d all have to listen to the Little 10 for a whole year. Oh, and Cosby is a MONSTER.
I do have one question, though. Since I’m from Tech and thus don’t know much about football, I was hoping you could help me out. Let’s say one team is trailing and they put together a drive to take the lead in the last couple of minurtes. Then the other team, who had been leading the entire half up to that point, gets the ball. They drive length of the field and get a TD pass to regain the lead and win the game in the closing seconds.
Now here’s where I’m lost. Is that a well-deserved, hard-fought, come-from-behind win? Or is that a last-second, undeserving, lucky, miracle fluke? I thought I knew the answer from listening to y’all, but now I’m really confused. [just a little tongue in cheek]

Memories and concerns
I’m a senior at UT with one year left, and I had season tickets alongside my dad (he’s not an alumni, so it felt great that I was the one securing the kick-ass seats we had), and we watched the road games together as well. I will never forget the feeling of running across the house to give my dad a hug when Quan Cosby scored the game-winning TD. Some are going to call it a lucky win, or a dirty win, but it’s still a win. I will never forget the emotions tied into this season, the exciting manner in which it ended, and while it’s not a national championship, it’s still pretty awesome. The fact that I got to share this with my dad is what really makes it for me. Hook ’em.

Concerns
I forgot to mention the concerns part: People are going to accuse Mack of not being the quality coach others are saying he is; instead opting for the “He just has the keys to a nice car that practically drives itself, having access to the best recruits, a tradition-rich program, etc.” Those people need to google John Mackovic and see how well he did as head coach of Texas. It’s not an easy job, and the players aren’t going to do it all for you. Give Mack a few more years to add some hardware to the trophy case then get back to me on your thoughts about his coaching ability.
by Ricky'sDreadlocks on Jan 6, 2009 9:59 AM CST up reply actions 0 recs
eh
you could make that case for all the “elite” programs in college football. California and the south//southeast all are rich pickings for recruits. I don’t think that’s fair for people to say that just about Mack.
