PrintI'm doubting too many people are at the Rose Bowl right now, so let's have ourselves a live thread. Title game starts at 7:00pm CST.
And if you need some help getting psyched up for the final football game of the season (and the decade ... sort of), check this out.

I start to go for Alabama...
…and then I remember they’re Alabama. This is like trying to figure out who to root for between the Yankees and Manchester United.

Maybe I'm in the minority...
…but I’m relatively uninterested in this game. I’m going to watch it, and I’m probably going to comment on here a lot about it, but the game doesn’t really intrigue me. Texas bores me. Alabama bores me. I don’t particularly care for either team.
It would be best — for me, at least — if one team just got up by 30 quickly so I could go watch something else. I hear ESPN2 is showing World’s Strongest Man!

Oh no, I'm not uninterested in FOOTBALL.
That’s why I’m watching: it’s football, and the last college football I’ll see in the next eight months.
This game just isn’t very interesting, if you ask me.

Rooting interest

On a related note (kind of)
What happened to the holiday Bond-a-thon’s this (last) year? I was very dissappointed in that, as I look forward to that for most of the year.
6. I'll take the over
although I can guarantee that we will hear more about McCoy and Shipley and the BFF angle. Especially with the next generation on the horizon for ut.

Because I need the over to hit for me to win the competition.

At it's core, it's still beer, no matter how you fancy it up.
It’s a very smooth drink. Looks a bit like a quality ginger ale in the glass. Hint of ginger is really barely a hint, but it is there if you have a sensitive tongue.
It’s a bit pretentious, because they suggest you should drink it out a snifter or a wine glass. the rest will be perfectly fine in my massive beer stein.
Overall, not bad. If you have the means, it’s a good special occasion brew. I paid $10 for it at Whole Foods here in Vegas. Adjust prices accordingly.

It's a safe pass, man.
I don’t buy that it’s a terrible playcall to pass, because it wasn’t really a pass. It’s a modified run. Gilbert just made a bad decision.
What do tigers dream of when they take a little tiger snooze? Do they dream of mauling zebras, or Halle Berry in her Catwoman suit?
meh
it’s a poor call given field position. 99% of the time that shuttle pass is complete or falls harmlessly.
BUT after running virtually nothing on page 2 of the playbook for most of this half — and you have a chance to limp into the locker room down just 2 scores — you decide that NOW is a good time to put a drive together?

"Those who fear disorder more than injustice inevitably produce more of both." -- Rev. William Coffin

That’s one of the safest plays there is. Gilbert’s receivers aren’t helping him a bit.
by Michael Atchison on Jan 7, 2010 9:21 PM CST up reply actions 1 recs
We got the worst case scenario -- even though it was low probability
the problem with the call is that what you’re likely to get from that throw — even under the best case scenario — is a long run that potentially burns up too much of the clock to even get off a decent field goal attempt.
It seems like a fundamental coaching fail just based on expected gains and losses. The fact that the receiver bobbled it twice and the lineman could catch it and run was just bad luck. But it was a bad call before it was bad luck.
Add to that, outside Shipley, the UT receivers have Roberto Duran hands.
"Those who fear disorder more than injustice inevitably produce more of both." -- Rev. William Coffin
i agree its not a dangerous play call per se
but the idea of trying to pull something out of your ass at that point is pretty misguided imho. they just held bama to a field goal to keep it reasonable, so just down it and regroup at half
wow, i think I'm done with this
especially since I only watch while I’m on the elliptical, and I’m getting tired. Stupid training.

As he has the platform to shine some light on the whole asinine system.
Here's the thing. . .
How many times this year was Colt McCoy in a game late, with Texas up big, just to get him 80 more passing yards, or 1 more TD, just to pad his Heisman numbers?
They did next to nothing (beyond practice) to groom Gilbert (or Sherrod Harris) to take over in a meaningful game.

And I am out for the night.
Work at 7 again in the morning, ugh. And this game is not worth staying up late and sleepwalking through tomorrow.
Unfortunately,
This Saturday is my turn to hold down the fort at the office, so I will only be present in spirit (and listening on radio)
I'm still winning my under bet by 11.5 points.

If Malcom Williams doesn't drop that TD pass, they're down 4.
And if they don’t miraculously botch a shovel pass, they’re ahead…

Makes up for the multiple missed calls in that last Texas possession
not really actually.

Texas is 2 plays from the lead
That dropped TD in the first half before the 1st Gilbert pick and the end of the half.

Yeah, but that was a tough one
Hard to fault him for not catching an unexpected, low, hard throw.

BON and Barking Carnival.
Silently of course.
They are fighting amongst themselves.
Delicious.
But is this a comeback?

If Gilbert manages a GW drive to end this game
people are going to wish Tebow didn’t graduate. The legendary story would be completely out of hand.
With McCoy out of the game
I am officially rooting for Gilbert and Texas… until they blow us out

What happens if no McCoy injury?
Bama’s offense really struggled. The 2nd half is pretty fair, but the 2nd quarter lull (and that’s an understatement) from Texas wouldn’t have gone down the same. I picked Texas beforehand, but this game actually makes me MORE sure a healthy Texas team beats Bama.
Yep...
…if McCoy’s not hurt, ‘Bama doesn’t get quite as conservative (which might actually help them), but Texas actually has an offense before late-Q3…gotta figure that makes a difference…

Total dick move by Saban to end the game
I usually don’t care about so-called running up the score. Stop people from scoring if you don’t want to be embarrassed.
But that was unseemly. ’Bama could have taken a knee there and run it out.

There were 39 possessions in this game. REALLY REALLY high number for a football game.
So the game is over
and I still don’t care. Hmmm. Whatev.
