How was Nebraska robbed and raped? They didn't exactly outplay the Horns offensively, they didn't even score one touchdown. They also gave us a huge gift with the personal foul call on the last drive. This game was all about defense from both teams. In the post-game conference, Colt said he thought there were 2 seconds left on the clock - Mac Brown said he called a timeout, but the officials didn't hear him over the crowd noise. Assuming that's true, the officials should have expected, and looked right at him, for a timeout call. Regardless, the review of the clock was correct. The Horns aren't dumb enough to let themselves run out of time.

If anyone was robbed and raped, particularly by the BCS system, it was UT, last year.

I'd confer with LSU on that statement.

Glad to see that there were others on this
board pulling for THE TIDE.

Nebraska's offense needs some tweaking...

However....Two outstanding players:

Alex Henery, has one heluva leg/foot/aim.

That 57 yard FG against Colorado last year was freakin' awesome.

The Nebraska Defense is incredible...O'Hanlon, Amukamara, Gomes, Crick...

and Ndamukong Suh? Sorry Colt, Teebow, et. al., I want him for the Heisman.

Last time the Longhorns were in the national championship, 2005, Reggie Bush (USC) held the Heisman title.
Look how that turned out.

When is the last time the Heisman winner was on the winning team at the national championship?

Yay, Longhorns! Is that enough for major style points, stupid BCS computers?!? I hope UT jumps Alabama, they had a close call.

I'll say this time and time again, not one single coach/coordinator/player on any level of football (college or NFL) understands clock management.

If Texas goes to the national championship, they are going to have to look a lot better on all sides of the football. I realize that Alabama's defense is not as strong as Nebraska's, but still. The only way I see them winning is if Alabama comes out overconfident.

Anywho, congrats on winning the Big 12! Exactly half of my family had heart attacks this evening.

How does a replay guy in the booth even THINK to review the last second of a game?? (unless he's paid off)

Granted the kicker still had to make the field goal, but, there never should've even been the attempt...the game was over.

Just reminded me of the Olympic Gold Medal basketball game in '76 between USA & USSR, they kept adding time back on the clock for the final 3 seconds until the Soviets finally hit the winning shot.

It was fixed. A damned fix. Huskers got screwed out of the Big 12 championship. Sure, they weren't playing for the NATIONAL title, but Texas shouldn't be there EITHER, they lost the game, they KNOW they lost the game, Mack Brown knows he lost the game, Colt McCoy DEFINITELY knows he lost the game.

I know no one here follows Texas Tech's football program, but I have to say that today is a sad, sad day.

It's too long of a story to type out, but a quick Google search will tell you everything.

Craig James is an ass and for some reason he's acting like a little league father, speaking out for his son. Gag.

As whack as Leach is, he is the best thing that's happened to that university this decade.

I'm going to San Antonio for our bowl game on Saturday-- sure to be a rowdy game. Fans are pissed.

au contraire mon frere

There's definitely some ill will between Leach and Texas Tech Athletic Director Gerald Myers.

Leach was due an $800,000 bonus on Dec. 31 if he was head coach at Texas Tech....so...they decided to fire him BEFORE the end of the year.

I kinda like "the mad scientist" (Leach) ... and Craig James (?) not so much.

I'd like to see Leach stay in the Big 12.

Kansas has an opening...

P.S. GO BIG RED

Gonna enjoy seeing Suh and the defense....

I hope the offense has some plays .... and poor Henery doesn't have to do all the work...

Wasn't that the 1972 Munich Games? The first ever USA loss.

Wreck 'em Tech!!!

What an exciting game. Apparently we can win our game not only without our coach, but without our quarterback as well.
