Around SBN: BTB's Final Preseason NCAA Hoops Bracket

Outrageous Article...

Star-divide

http://www.sportsline.com/collegefootball/story/11227280

After seeing the Horns defeat a top 10 team, and discussing the players and play calling involved with a co-worker, I decided to read a few articles online to see what the media took away from our victory. I came across this tidbit blasting the Horns for not blowing out Ohio State. It also calls into question the comments made by Colt McCoy in the moments after the end of the game where he stated, "I don't think there's a team in the country that can beat us." The author of the article states that we took a step back by only winning by three against Ohio State and we shouldn't be mentioned in the final polling with the likes of Utah, USC, and the winner of the Nat'l Champ. Bear in mind this article states nothing about how we beat Oklahoma earlier in the year, however we don't deserve to be in the Nat'l Title Picture? I don't understand and think this article is an outrage. At the end of the day we beat a quality top 10 opponent in a BCS bowl, if that's not good enough then I don't want to be part of the BCS anymore. Let me know what you guys think. Hook 'Em Horns and OU Sucks!!

Not only did we beat Ohio State, but we beat them at there 2nd home. They are always in the Fiesta Bowl

For the most part.

 Good ol’ Kevin Dunn (formerly of Chad and Kevin in the afternoons) is now a CBS analyst. Heard him this morning checking in with Eric Hogan on the local morning show. But yeah, he even said CBS has a lot of SEC love. Part of that has to do with a little television contract they have going with the SEC.

I totally agree with the writer, if the Longhorns are as good as they think they are, they should have won by at least 2 touchdowns.

And still, the best thing to come out of Texas, is I-35

And be sure to read the comments to his article

He is totally pwned by his readers.

(And danielf1935, how do you know what the Longhorns think? Did some player say that or are you just making stuff up?)

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. If they get mad, you're a mile away AND you have their shoes.
