I used to kind of like Texas, always thought they were classier than what they turned out to be. No more though. They're a bunch of whining, excuse making crybabies as far as I'm concerned.

Bottom line......We messed with Texas and won.

Ain't that the uncle or cousin in Napoleon Dynamite? Hilarious.

Some of you guys are a little outta line here I think. It is a bitter pill to swallow to finish out a career like that on the sideline watching your team lose. And that's his daddy talking. He acted like any of us would if it were our son.

Give 'em a break guys. The McCoys and the Longhorns are classy and we shouldn't try to make em sound like they ain't.

HUH? Bitter pill my eye. If they're so classy then why don't they all man up and accept their defeat and move on. But no it's over 3 months since the NCG and they're still crying in their beer. And I disagree with your comment that "he acted like any of us would if it were our son." My dad taught us boys to accept our losses and learn from them and get back on the horse. Apparently, nobody told either generation of the McCoys that.

Mark Ingram took a Heisman Trophy I'm sure Colt and his dad felt they would be bringing home this year. Colt came into the Rose Bowl with a big chip on his shoulder and he got to watch from the sideline why Mark Ingram won the Heisman. Sometimes things don't work out the way you planned and this was one of those times.

I'm tired of the McCoy stuff. It was not him, it was the SPEED SWEEP! McCoy completes 2 passes for 9 yards. They then barely get a first down gaining 1 yard. Then the 16 yard speed sweep to the 11. Dareus then hits McCoy with a thunderbolt hit and knocks him out of the game. What then happens? With their new wide-eyed green-as-a-gourd QB, they gain 10 yards with the SPEED SWEEP to the 1 yard line; then we stop them. Even with Gilbert's nervousness coming off the bench, they gain 10 yards on his first play. The speed sweep was a good plan by Texas. They knew they would not be able to run up the middle against us, so the speed sweep was a good alternative. In the 2nd quarter the speed sweep gained 28 yards. But Saban and staff adjusted at halftime. Remember Lorenzo Washington waiting for that speed sweep early in the 3rd qtr and catching the back for a loss. I'm not sure they ran it again. It was so clear we had it figured out.

In summary it was the SPEED SWEEP that created those early impressions - not Colt McCoy! Don't forget his poor games vs Oklahoma and Nebraska. 2 passes for 9 yards and getting stuffed on a running play were certainly no indication that McCoy was going to have a storybook game.

Hmm... Let's see. The moral victories against us (moral losses for us, I guess) last year - UTe, AU, UTw. Was there anyone else who felt that they really morally beat us?

yep, after each one, i set my "morals" aside and went straight for the liquor cabinet and the humidor ;)

Yeah I agree with you. He looked much better when he settled down in the 3rd quarter. Pretty amazing after being thrown into a situation like he was. I put a lot of blame on our offensive woes in the 3rd quarter though. The defense was getting worn down because they were out on the field so much. I still contend that if we could have went down and scored early in the 3rd it would have been a back breaker. We just couldn't get anything going and got predictable.

How many passes did Gilbert complete to someone not named Jordan Shipley? Not bashing him, but I think Jordan was the "amazing" one. I guarantee you there was some kind of half-time exchange between him and Jordan in which Jordan said something along the lines of "Look for me every down, I'll be doing everything I can to get open." Jordan stepped up big time in that game, he really put the team on his shoulders. I think he knew he had to take the pressure off Gilbert by performing extraordinarily well and he performed extraordinarly well. IMO he took a lot of pressure off of Gilbert, as much as he possibly could.

IMO, and this may come as a shock, Texas would have done worse had McCoy not gotten hurt. Shipley wouldn't have had that monster game, Colt wouldv'e gotten discouraged early when he throws and interceptions and finds out that he hasn't "figured out" jack sh*t. Taking a few hits from trying to run on our BIG defense would have shooken him up mentally; he was expecting so much, he was ready for a Cinderella moment, I think he wouldv'e broken easily...well he did anyway, but mentally I mean.

I wonder when they're going to make a shirt that says "The Alabama Crimson Tide...ruining quarterbacks' future since 1993..." Toretta, Tebow, Colt. We were the first time those guys failed big and one of them never recovered...we'll see what the others do.

He's nothing compared to Brown and the McCoy's. :rolleye2: I'm sure if OSU makes it to the BCSCG this year they'll be on their hands and knees praying to God that an SEC team isn't their opponent. :biggrin2:

How many of my fellow TideFans actually watched the video? It was a puff piece, a feel good story about Colt McCoy. There was a VERY brief segment showing his father that implied that Texas would have won the game if he had stayed. Otherwise, it was a video that accentuated his disappointment about building up to the game but not being able to play it out. I find it unfortunate that the only thing we find on which to focus is a 5 second clip where a proud father implies his son would have "carved us up". We should be better than that.

Also, I visited UT boards after the game. 90% of their fans acknowledged our victory and shot down any poster that implied that UT would have won with Colt. They all recognized that good teams have to deal with injuries. They were not whining. And we should not whine about winning! But we are!

Exactly. I think we get a little trigger happy sometimes - just looking for someone to say something so we can jump down their throat. That 5 second clip doesn't mean Texas is a bunch of whiners anymore than Auburn holding the lead in the Iron Bowl means they were the better team. LAUGHABLE!

I guess it's obvious when things are going great for us. There is nothing negative for us to complain or worry about so we pick through the news, or lack thereof, to find something or someone to dissect!

:biggrin2:

Texas is not Auburn. Texas is one of the truly elite programs of all time and that 5 second clip of a proud daddy shouldn't make Bama fans act like Texas isn't one of the great programs.

I am so proud we have gotten back to the top where we belong, but I enjoy it more when we are gracious winners.

I find it a bit humorous how "trigger happy" we are. I almost take pride in it. Its not like we're posting this all over UT's board...we're comfortable around other TideFans, naturally more impulsive, and when a quarterback says he could've "carved us up" after a couple of plays, we get ....ed!

I don't know if I'd call it elite. Miami has won as many national championships as Texas has in their program's history in basically one decade. Would you call them elite? They're the third most "elite" team in their conference, the Slightly-Largely-Than-Average-Sized 12. That conference is no where as great as the SEC, and Bama is far and away historically the greatest team in the SEC. Not saying I don't respect Texas but they are no where near our level, and if their fans think so...well they are just on something.
