I was recording the game. Glad I Didn’t see it live. I would have no fingernails or clean shorts left…You’re going to hear a whole lot of lobbying by the other undefeated teams now.

- We won.
- We won.
- I drank a LOT.
- We won.

Wow.

IF Texas had lost:

If it’s a 4 team playoff, an undefeated Boise State gets left out. If it’s an 8 team playoff, Florida and Texas are still in (albeit as lower seeds).

Just sayin’.

Don’t disagree with your comments except when you compare how other teams play against our opponents. CU was a home game and Nebraska thought they could just roll out their helmets. Not sure if the altitude was a factor either. I know this, this team never quits. There is something to be said for that. We beat Nebraska and all the bad breaks that did not go our way. Oh, and not to mention the key drops by Kirkendoll. We beat those, too.

Vince Young is awesome and will destroy the Colts tomorrow.

Its lucky that the Kicker made the kick, is it lucky that The Texas returner let the ball roll out of bounds, is that luck? Is it luck that Colt made a nice play to Shipley, and Shipley was fast enough to get outside and get Horse collar.

Is it lucky that Nebraska had a 106 yards of Total offense? Is it lucky that Nebraska has 2 picks early, and got one first down after that, forcing two FGs. Is it lucky that the Kirkendoll dropped a sure touchdown with 8 minutes left in the game?

In the end Texas won the game, it does not matter if there is luck involved, there is luck involved in every single game. Sometimes you have to find a way to win and they did.

but I pulled a Ron Artest and busted out the hard liquor at half-time. It was a decision I do not regret.

Couldn’t care less about criticizing the team right now. I’ve never had such a roller coaster of emotion (I don’t care about the cliche: that’s what it was). I don’t care what anybody says, that Nebraska defense is freakish. We had a bizarre number of bounces just go the other way, but when we needed something good to happen, karma ensued. Glad to be 13-0, let’s see McCoy go out a National Champion quarterback.

seeing the plethora of replays. Celebrations are had, but damn… I’m freaking exhausted.

Did anyone else think that he might have lost it in the scoreboard? On the replay, he was reacting as if he was looking for a ball he had lost in the sun. But of course there was no sun, just a 60-yard-long HD in the way . . .

Seriously, relax, and cut the incessant hand-wringing. We won. Ask Florida Gator fans about to slit their wrist if they’d like to have our “luck” right now. It wasn’t just stupid luck that the team went 12-0 before this game, buddy. We’re going to the champ game. RELAX. CHILL. Etc.

But Luck is a culmination of hard work and opportunity. The Texas D played their ass off. And to be honest so did Colt. He got sacked 9TIMES! If he wasn’t getting sacked he was running for his life or throwing to a receiver that fell down or one who was dropping wide open TD bombs to seal victories. We can exploit Bama’s D if Greg Davis takes in the right game plan. But until then I will enjoy this victory. Hook em horns. And somebody get the disguised TCU fan off of our site.

Hope you guys beat ‘bama to shut up the SEC chest thumping for at least a year, but until TCU drops a game, I’ll say they should be national champions. Same as any other fanbase, I imagine.

Since Texas won, we don’t have a prayer, but I’ll always wonder about what could have been settled on the field. Fuck the BCS.

Never heard of Rosedale. Not saying it doesn’t exist but I’ve never heard of it. I’ve lived here my whole life. I’m sure you might be confusing it with the neighborhood where Andy Dalton grew up. Maybe somewhere in Dallas.

Thanks for the good luck and with all due respect I would like nothing more than to have the chance to put these TCU vs. TX arguments to rest once and for all.

“Gobs of credit to {Texas}’s defense, but they got gobs of help from {Shawn Watson} and the {Nebraska} offensive line. A week ago, {Texas A&M} managed {532} yards of total offense on the {Longhorns}, averaging {7.3} yards per play. I’m happy to tip my cap to {Texas}’s defense for playing terrific football tonight, but the ineptitude in blocking, in block scheming, and in play calling was frightening. I don’t have the time (or stomach) to sink my teeth into it right now, so let’s just say how thankful we are to have {almost?!} won, and end on an optimistic note: If tonight’s performance was vintage {Shawn Watson} against OU, maybe we can likewise expect the usual game-after-OU improvement. We’ll need it against {Arizona?}.”

“Though the line was terrible, the fact is that {Lee} did not have a good night himself. The early interception combined with {Texas}’s pressure clearly rattled him, and he was for much of the game inaccurate and (perhaps understandably) on at least a dozen plays too quick to bail out of what few good throwing pockets that he had…”

“Maybe things don’t look so bad if {Kinnie} catches that beautiful {fade} that would have gone for a touchdown, but as it stands, {Lee}’s best completion was his last, to {Kinnie}, getting {Nebraska} into {almost?!} winning field goal range….”

“And finally, though throughout the year we have praised {Alex Henery}’s outstanding work, it almost always felt like an afterthought, in part so greater attention could be paid to strengths and weaknesses in the spotlight, but mainly because {Nebraska} {was} involved in many games where field goals would much matter.

Tonight they did. And like he has been all year, {Alex Henery} was nails. {However} Game ball to tonight’s hero {Ndamukong Suh}."

But in all seriousness:
My guess would be that a good deal of this kind of stuff (that a lot of you are pointing out here) is in the eye of the beholder and can probably go either way. You wanna play it like Texas played down to NU…well, as you can plainly see, that can go both ways so take your pick. It just so happened that more of that sort of thing did indeed go the way of the Horns tonight. That’s not anything to be either proud or ashamed of…that’s just the way it is. I’m sure it makes everyone feel better to play down a near loss to a 14-point underdog and lay it at the feet of the Offensive coordinator. I’m sure of this because NU fans do it all the time (at least lately).

And whoever the hell had the nerve to spin the late-game “karma payback” factor in there (for all of the supposed bad breaks the horns were getting) really needs to school themselves in the history of these two universities during the Big 12 era! I mean, seriously…you really need to give it a fucking break with that sort of bullshit! If there’s really any such thing as “karmic justice”, it will be due to come crashing down on the Longhorns in annual installments for about a dozen years straight (for all of the unjust heartbreak they have caused Husker fans since 1996). I’ll plan to be in Lincoln next year (where I watched Ricky Williams tear our hearts out and stomp on them in 1998…Jammal Lord throw the pick into the end zone in 2002…and, not to mention, Terrence Nunn inexplicably snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in 2006.) Maybe I’ll be able to catch the first installment of the real karmic payback tour then.

But until then “…if I should lose, let me stand by the road, And cheer as the winners go by.” So cheers to the Longhorns, Big 12 Champions 2009! And cheers to my Texas alum brother-in-law, who just returned safely from a year in Iraq, in time to spend the holidays with my sister and their daughter…and to whom I now owe five dollars. (Points are for pussies.) Good luck against Bama…Any Husker fan worth their salt will be pulling for you guys!

Just read every post…did we lose, or something?

First big props to Husker fans at the Death Star last night, they werent nearly our equals in numbers, but man they could put out some noise. And the two on our row told us good game and good luck and high fived us on the way out, as we stayed for the trophy presentation. Husker fan is still #1 in my book.

The other point I just want to drive home is that its past time to worry about pretty wins, you cant infer what will happen against Bama from anything we have seen on the field up to this point. Before last night there were just two football games left, now theres just one. Ill take ugly, lucky, sloppy, and mismanaged wins all the way to the crystal ball. At this point its not a beauty contest, its survival, and our Horns made it out alive. Just win baby.

Any given Saturday we can have a poor performance, we can run out 5 wide against Suh and Crick, we can get called down on the 1 yard line, and any given Saturday we can overcome and pull a W out of our ass. 13 down, 1 more, and when that game happens, anything could happen. Just win baby.

I mean, they are the best college football team in history!! TWO…that’s right TWO…Heisman winners in the same backfield! Unbelievable linebackers who will swallow up our running game, including our running quarterback. Maybe we should just stay home.

41-38!!

Oh what the heck, let’s go ahead and play the game!! Hook ’em!!!!!!

Per Coach Boom – only one counts

Alabama – one W
Texas – One W

All you crybabies and closet fans – Go watch Boise or Cincinnati and tell me what wonderful football they play. Have you people lost all sense of relativety? Over the last 10 years, would you rather have had TCU’s, Boise, Cincinnati, BYU, Pittsburg, or Mississipi’s recruiting classes? Do you think our coaches are incapable of judging football talent?

THIS is why Texas, Alabama,and Florida are now and will ALWAYS be superior to the above wannabe’s – WE GET THE STUDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My God!

but sometimes winning close ones before the final game is better than blowing everyone out. I know the situations are totally different but take last year’s NBA playoffs where Lakers struggled early where the Magic blew everyone out. I think those struggles helped the Lakers in the end when they just clearly overplayed the Magic.

I’m just happy we won and obviously we have a ton of flaws exposed these last two games, but I also see that as a good thing too.
