BCS TV Ratings Up: Attendance Down
The five BCS Bowls averaged about a ratings point higher than 2008, despite the fact the the Orange Bowl turned in the lowest TV ratings in BCS history. The other four BCS bowl games all saw increases, with the Texas win over Ohio State making the biggest jump with a 35% increase. Meanwhile game...
Overheard on the Longhorn internets
"Gideon also missed the tackle on Herron's TD run, but I really wonder whether the defensive coaches instructed the players to let them score the TD. Because with the little amount of time left on the clock, if Gideon makes that tackle, then we lose the Fiesta Bowl. "Missing" that tackle was the...
Fiesta Bowl Post-Mortem Part IV: Offense & Special Teams
Offense A great Longhorn points to Tim Tebow's father Quan Cosby was sensational and my Game MVP. 14 catches, 171 yards, 2 TDs, physical blocking that created Colt's TD run, the game winning score. There's something deeply satisfying about seeing a quality guy enjoy success. I admire him...
Fiesta Bowl Post Mortem Part III: Texas Defense
Thoughts on OSU O This was the best game Ohio State played all year. This Buckeye offense did not exist in the September blowout loss to USC or, to a lesser degree, in the November loss to Penn State. A healthy #28 was a load and he has sweet feet for such a big man, but when Muckelroy rang his...

Best told in vignettes An Oklahoma fan decked out in crimson with a goatee and the leathery skin of an oil field services worker, with the obligatory Marlboro stains on his fingers and teeth, spends the entire pre-game sprinting around the stadium concourse pointing to his national championship...
Fiesta Bowl Wrap Up Part I: Pre-Game
Arrival This game was a business trip. No extended stay, no spa holiday, no trips to Sedona or Scottsdale to satisfy the demands of the Arizona Chamber of Commerce. This was a trip about football and everything I did was built around that. The Fiesta Bowl is uniquely structured to facilitate...
Horns Win Over Ohio State is a Fiesta of Ratings For Fox
Texas and Ohio State put on a show last night, and FOX Sports was a major beneficiary. The Longhorns last-minute win over the Buckeyes will probably turn out to be the third highest-rated BCS Bowl game since Fox took over the rights. Quan's dramatic finish helped produced an overnight rating over...
Don't be fooled, this was a tough matchup
Ohio State is good at everything we are bad at. It sucks that it wasn't a media seducing blowout, and that Colt is following Brett Farve's career path (he's in the lose-it-for-you-no-win-it-for-you phase), but as cynical as I normally am I don't think I could be more pleased. - This game was the...
