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.

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.

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.

also as a big bama fan, i say bring on the horns baby~ the tide is gonna roll all over them!!!~

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.
