THat game pissed me off. Colt hurt in the 1st quarter, ingram cramping up... I wanted to see the best out there. Who knows what would've happened. Im not gonna say who woulda won cuz that's impossible to tell. People saying that if colt wasnt hurt then it woulda been a for sure Texas win crack me up. There's no way to tell guys lol. I was glad to see Gilbert get some TDs though. I cant believe all the Gilbert hate... That kid experienced more pressure than anyone on this site could ever think of experiencing. I always like watching Ingram too, he's just so damn hard to knock down, kid's a beast.
Too bad Texas couldn't bring it home for our state and the big12. Oh well, 9 months to go fellas. Big12 will be on top next year!

Alabama did everything in their power to run up the score. It was 21-24 with 3 minutes LEFT IN THE GAME. They scored when we turned it over at the 3 yard line. They then left their foot on the gas when we threw another INT at the 30 yard line when a coach like Mack Brown would of taken a kneel the rest of the game.
Alabama didn't come close to scoring on offense after their initial 17 points until we gave them the ball 3 yards from the goaline.
No, you didn't watch the game. Bama was not holding back and I don't know how you could even propose that.

Call it what you will, but a 16 point lead is far from running up the score. I imagine Saban wanted to get out of the reach of a quick score and a possible onside kick, and completely put it out of reach. Which can and has happened. Besides that, Mack Brown has ran the score up plenty of times during his tenure. Instead of padding Colts stats this year he should have given Garrett some more reps.
You did not watch a Texas game all year.
Colt only player 4 4th quarters all year. Nebraska, OU, A&M and TTU. And they were all out of necessity.
Mack Brown doesn't run up the score, he only runs the football at the end of games. That is why Gilbert only had 26 passes on the season. There wasn't one game where he padded Colt's stats.
I hate the fact that people always bring up the nebraska game and Texas got lucky bla bla bla!But no one ever seems to bring up that Alabama had to block two field goals so they wouldnt lose.If that aint lucky i dont know what is???
You have posted some of the dumbest **** on here. Shaub got his LEFT arm hurt, not his throwing shoulder. McCoys THROWING ARM GOT HURT. On ESPN they said his dad was in the locker room throwing with him and he couldnt grip the ball and didnt know where it would go. The trainers sat him out even tho he wanted to come back. Why they called a damn option, we will never know.
Out of reach? He could of kneeled out the clock while up 10 with less than 2 minutes left in the game.

And that is only this year. Not hating on Texas, but you thinking that "Mack Brown never runs up the score" is, as you called me earlier, ignorant. Or maybe for better terms delusional.
As for the "you never watched a Texas game all year" I went to the UCF game b/c my boss talked me into using his season tickets. Did I want to, not really, but since I like to watch football I said wtf. So you are wrong twice.

Nor am I, but Mack Brown said before the season started that We wouldn't see much of Texas being nice and not running up the score like OU has done for years, simply because he didn't want the same thing to happen this year with all that tie breaker B/S from last year

I'm dumb? I aknowledged it was Schaubs non-throwing arm, and I know that McCoy got his throwing arm hurt, go read my post before you get all butt hurt. How about you see how well you throw a football though without that other arm as leverage, let alone while its dislocated and you know youre gonna get hit some more. Yes its not an apples to apples comparison, but its similar. Both impaired the QB's ability to throw.

2nd and 3rd stringers scoring in the late 3rd and 4th quarter on non-passing plays is not running up the score. we played a 5th string QB in one game and 6th string RB in one game.
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!!

To say that texas lost because mccoy got hurt just tells me they arent a good enough team. one of you texas guys already said, you have to have someone that can step up and help you win the game. And you almost did! that freshman settled down, but got no help from your crappy receivers(not counting shipley). Bama didnt play their best game, and texas didnt play their best game:but the better team won the game. Bama could lose any one player and have someone thats good enough to plug the hole to keep them in the game, that is a fact.
And hearing about the bad calls is annoying. Thats football. The bad calls go both ways. Like maze and jones being raped by your DBs every play. Mcclain getting held just about every texas pass play, ect.
And texas managed 20 or so more yards on offense that alabama averages giving up per game, and some of you guys are talking crap about their defense. Really?
But Alabama scorches texas' #1 rush defense going three backs deep on the depth chart, and all i hear is it's because they were tired? boys gotta man up! But lets count the score here: texas lost because mccoy wasnt in the game, and because of all the "one sided" bad calls, and because your defense got tired? hmmmm.....if only we could eat excuses, this thread could feed all of africa.
and saban wasnt running the score up. they were running the ball that last drive, with the #2 and #3 RBs, and gouged enough yards to get close to the end zone. so they scored. i guarantee mac brown would have done that to give that hard working RB a score for his efforts.

I guess im the only one that would be mad if it was the other way around and mack brown didn't run the clock up? Jesus guys, it's the national championship, i would do everything possible to ensure a W.
Plus it was obvious bama wasn't running up the score, the kicker missed the last extra point
