My son, a senior at A&M is at home today along with his best friend, a senior at Texas.

Needless to say, we'll be switching over to ABC in about 5 minutes.

I personally think Texas will win, but they're favored by 13, and the Aggies typically lose in a nailbiter.

yeah...

as I said, A&M needs to throw the ball on Texas. I don't know if they care proficient enough through the air yet to do so.

They will have issues running the ball today I think, although that A&M RB is friggin huge.

Davie is a decent commentator as well.

Mooseburger is the worst I have ever had the displeasure of being forced to listen to. Anytime he announces we have had to turn the sound off and listen to the Michigan announcers after the middle of the first quarter. This year we'll find some audio of Notre Dame commentators.....:-)

How can someone so incompetent keep doing it year after year......

FBI files?

Nah, it was pretty obvious that Musberger was going to get his shot when Keith Jackson went senile around 2000 or so.

It's only a matter of time until they phase him out too.

Eventually I think Mike Tirico will end up being the main College Football guy.

That would be a good thing I think.

Besides you should LOVE him, he lives in Ann Arbor :)

I have met Mike Tirico. Nice guy.

No matter where he lives, he at least seems to be a decent commentator, never makes the stoopid mistakes Mooseburger does.

Hey....believe it or not, I think Spielman is a great commentator.

No he doesn't.

He's really thorough but allows his commentators to make their points known.

The problem is that Tony Kornhole takes advantage of that.

Well yeah that's because he is :-P

Spielman brings intensity to the broadcast.

I love it.

A bit late but...

A&M ran the ball right down Texas' throat on the first drive in a surprising drive.

That's big. Texas is very good against the run.

>>Larry Coker has been fired by Miami. The press conference is on ESPN at this time.

Lots of great football on today.<<

We knew it was coming but still....

Also kind of ironic to lose both coaches from the big fight.

" "However, until JaMarcus Russell wins a big game without a mistake, you have to go with history." Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Poor JaMaracus. He gets blamed for every dropped pass in a game.

He is kinda like Major Applewhite or maybe Joe Germaine.

Good QBs but for whatever reason, that big game always seemed to elude them.

yeah...

I actually thought he was safe after they won last night.

But it had to come eventually I think.

They needed a new direction. They still get the athletes to win, but the atmosphere and the system they run just doesn't get the results anymore.

When the Chick Filet Peach bowl locked up the #2 ACC team I bet they thought the lowest profile team they'd get would be FSU or Miami - pretty wild to have neither in the running.

A&M is giving Texas more than they bargained for.

6-0 at the half, so UT is only one play away from gaining the lead.

Still, I'm surprised so far.

Never been so happy to be at a game, instead of watching it on TV. Can't stand Musburger.

Here's the Musburger game in case of "emergency" http://www.fanblogs.com/ncaa/005660.php
