I'm not a what if kind of guy. No one can say what would have happened if McCoy hadn't gone down. I've just never been prouder of my team. They demonstrated the heart of a champion under very difficult circumstances. I really like that team's chances if McCoy hadn't gone down, but he did...

We have no victory, moral or otherwise. What we have is a team full of character guys who fought through serious adversity to have a chance to win late in the fourth quarter with a true freshman under center. Call it what you want. I will call you classless.

YOU, original poster, and all that are making fun of McCoy, are everything that is WRONG with college football. There isn't much wrong with it, which is what makes YOU so damn obvious. You embarrass your otherwise great fan-base.

I could hardly believe that we had a chance to win late. Made me feel bad for thinking it was pretty much over at half. When the shovel pass got returned for a TD, my hair didn't turn gray, it fell out. What a horrible turn of events that was (for TX fans). That kind of thing happens...

I think reasonable minds can disagree about the taking a knee issue. I hope Mack in those circumstances would choose to take a respectful knee, but it doesn't make Saban a bad guy or anything for running it up the middle. The TX D was just disheartened at that point. I knew Bama was going to...

Perhaps. Maybe it was just an emotional reaction. I think he's a good kid. That just rubbed me wrong.

Really? Wow.

Much appreciated. It hurts to lose, but all I really ever want out of my teams is heart, hard play and character. I got that last night, so it's all good. I just feel for McCoy. Kid didn't deserve that.

If you think I'm crying, ok. Just an observation. I don't begrudge rivals having a little back and forth like Bama and Florida. I expect OU to do the horns down thing, for instance. It's part of the rivalry. I just thought it was an odd thing for McElroy to do under those particular...

Please. What a stupid thing to say.

Given the state of these two programs, I imagine we'll be seeing each other again in the NCG. Congrats. When the game got tight at the end, your defense came through. No excuses. I can't say that we lost because of QB play. Gilbert was pretty spectacular given the circumstances. To step...

Texas doesn't just lead the nation is run defense, but is also at or near the top in tackles for loss, third down conversion rate, turnovers forced and others. Believe it or not, this Texas defense is really, really good. It's the best Texas defense I have ever personally witnessed and that...

I believe they were also a double overtime loss to Oregon away from the Rose Bowl. That was supposed to be a good Arizona team. Personally, I think Nebraska gained a ton of confidence in the Big 12 CG and it showed big time tonight.

Something doesn't seem right about this whole situation. Not even a sniff of something similar in the past from Leach. I'm going to have to see more facts before making a judgment, but based on gut alone, the Craig James interview left me wanting.

Mack has been the most successful coach in all of college football since taking over the Texas program, but that's only if you place significance on winning. If he beats Bama, Texas can lay claim to the title "team of the decade." Don't know what else to say. Saban is going to have an...

Like SEC defenses? Do you think the Texas defense doesn't compare favorably to SEC defenses? I can see you thinking Bama has a better defense, though that is arguable, but to say the Texas D is simply ill-equipped to function like an SEC defense is more of the same thoughtless conference...

Good point. Texas is definitely a one man team. :confused:

Running at will? Really? Let me tell you guys something. I know I'm on a Bama board and I expect some hyperbole, but rest assured that there will be no running at will on the Texas D. Depth is not a problem either. Bama will have a very difficult time moving the ball IMO, as will Texas...

If only the Bama team would draw conclusions from this game . . . Seriously, if you watched the game, you know this was entirely about special teams. If A&M, as they are prone to do, hadn't messed themselves on special teams, they probably win this game. Keep telling yourselves Texas...

I agree. I've said consistently that Texas can only win this game if the defense is dominant. Bama's balance presents a problem, but not one this Texas team doesn't know how to defend. They just haven't played anyone as good at it as Bama. Fair enough, but our coaches and players know what...
