Texas vS Bama
I knew when McCoy went out all we would hear about was "we would have won if McCoy was in".... All it showed was a lack of toughness on his part. Yes he has millions waiting for him, but i'm sorry, if you cant tough out a pinched nerve in what is without a doubt the biggest game of your career thus far, then something is wrong, because NFL quarterbacks get demolished every week and play through injuries on games that don't matter near as much. Ex: Schaub came got his non-throwing shoulder dislocated (which is still important for throwing) and came back in the same game and did well.
I think it does show for the completeness of a team as to whether one player makes or breakes your chance to win.
Gilbert showed toughness and resolve, he has a bright future.
That UT "top ranked" rush defense really got exposed last night.

you mean the defense that never got a chance to catch a break due to greg trying to run a no huddle and rush the ball every 3 plays?
lets get serious, a hard nosed rushing team will wear down a defense when they get no rest due to no offensive production...
secondly, you think colt sat on the sideline because he wanted too? i'm sure there is a good reason as to why he didn't step back on that field.
They should have put VY in.
I saw some glimpses of good play out of Gilbert, but there were also some horrible mistakes in there. I guess that is to be expected by a Freshman who suddenly has to play his first minutes in the damn BCS Championship game.
The Longhorns showed a lot of heart last night and their defense stepped up big time.

Congrats to Alabama on getting the win. It was tough to see Colt go out as a senior with an injury in a game of that magnitude, but those are the breaks. I'm looking forward to watching Gilbert in the next three years, who will end up being a really good QB at Texas.
The D held up very well with all the turn overs and points from them. They didn`t give up, just got worn down. This kid is going to have more talent than Colt did, he will get his chance to fix this. Bama knows they got lucky with Colt getting hurt, the emotion of him getting injuried really effected our team for a while. Bama`s D wasn`t as good as everyone has said, Texas showed that! Texas will get no respect from that game in the rankings! Sucks bigtime.. This kid felt bad about his key turnovers at the end of the game and Bama could have run the clock out. Instead they ran the score up, what goes around comes around Bama!! Remember that! McBrown wouldn`t have done that, not his way...

Anyone, and I mean ANYONE who questions Colt McCoy's injury, or claims he didn't play because he was worried about his NFL future can EAFD. If you're a quarterback and you can't grip or even feel the football, you're going to do your team more harm than good. If you think Gilbert made some bad throws, imagine what Colt would have done with basically no control over his throwing arm.

They showed a lot of heart, morale definitely took a heavy blow when Colt was knocked out of the game. I think a lot of teams would have laid down and died, they got back in there and made it a game. LS1 Tech Stories

I got kinda excited when ever i think on one of the time outs in the 3rd corder I seen mc coy walk on the field with his gear on , went to commercials and he was not in : ( , but it was a hell of a game , didnt really like how they mest up the last plays in the 4th quarter ...

I would be mad too, but dont take away the fact that Alabama took out your qb, give credit where it is due. Its not that he had previous injury or was not slated to play. He is a puss for not stepping up and did not really seem that upset about missing the biggest game of his career.
And yes 9 months till next season, Ive been a hardcore fan through thick and thin and probably longer than you. YOU are the bandwagon crew GreatWhite.
The freshman qb did an amazing job and almost won the game, the future looks good for Texas

don't get me wrong, Bama won the game, I'm fine with that, nothing I could have controlled, but calling Colt a "puss" and all that is just stupid you get in there and take a helmet to the shoulder like that and see what you do in that situation....

You think it would have been smarter to put a QB with very little feeling in his arm and almost zero grip or accuracy back in the game? Yeah, that would have turned out well. For the record, he did everything he could to try to convince them to let him play; luckily, they knew better. As far as not seeming very upset, what did you want him to do, pull a Tebow and start bawling on the sidelines? He could barely even talk about it in the post game interview. I would say that's pretty upset.

I can't believe Texas fans are saying that the reason why they lost is because Colt got hurt. HELLOOO, thats EXACTLY how you got to championship game, by taking out Sam Bradford!!! LLOLOL. I think its poetic justice. I LOL'd, and gonna save this game for everytime I need a good laugh...
And don't tell me that Alabama got lucky, Texas has gotten HUGE breaks to even get to that game. If anything, TEXAS is lucky for even being there. I believe that Alabama would have won anyway, Colt or no Colt. Excuses excuse excuses. As mmiller said earlier, "you have to have the talent to plug in there in case there is an injury". YOU SAID IT!! I for one am not that impressed with your Gilbert. I think OU will have a nice win streak on this team for the next few years.
mmiller-I totally own your ***. I told you bama would beat Texas. I told you that OU would pass Texas in the BCS polls last year, I told you that tech would beat OSU in Lubbock last year. I even told you that Ohio State would beat Texas in '06 (yeah, that was me). You failed to pay up on ANY of your bets. Not only are you stupid, but your dishonest, which tells me alot about your character. You are one sorry POS. BTW-since all of my predictions have been right I'm making one more, OU WILL BEAT Texas next year, mark it down. I think it will be alot like 2000-2004 all over again. BOOMER SOONER!!
Excuses is all you have now. Bottom line, YOU were lucky to even have been there, AND YOU KNOW IT!!

this guy didn't go to college, and doesn't follow college football.
get a life.
"Almost won the game" is a stretch, I watched the whole game. I was rootin' for Texas as the under dog so I'm not trying to be harsh but honestly Bama was holding back they could have run the score up even more.
