Well, here it is, the final game of the 2009 college football season. For much of the bowl season, I've had to work, get my car fixed, and Google search any insignificant question and computer problem my grandparents call me about. (You would think with their age and guile they'd have the answers to various things readily available. You would think). So needless to say, this has kept me from my assigned college football commenting duties. For that I apologize, but tonight I will get the festivities going. So without further ado...
The BCS National Championship Game: Alabama vs. Texas (8:00 pm) From the moment this matchup was set, I've been pondering what the key to this game should be and ultimately what it will be. Could it be the Longhorn offensive line having a chance to contain the legendary Mt. Cody? How about the Tide secondary and what they'll have to do to contain Jordan Shipley? And let us not forget the mystery of chessboxing that could occur between Nick Saban and Mack Brown. But I keep hearing that the Tide are going to make mince meat of the Horns, and that kind of ignores recent history. What did we learn from the last time we saw Texas in a title game? We should have learned not to count them out, right? So keep this in mind before we coronate a team in a game like this. In my usual neutral third party kind of observational style though, that doesn't necessarily mean that the Tide aren't every bit as good as advertised. I happen to think so, for whatever that's truly worth.
3 minutes is a lifetime in college.
Not true. No way! We are loving it.
3:21 and Texas getting the ball back. This is it, guys.
Not so much Tennessee.
I know, right?! We Horns were so dejected just a while ago. Man, they’ve turned it around!
I do love the Tide, but I want them to L-O-S-E!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not true. No way! We are loving it.
Oh, Blair, you know I do have to maintain at least a semblance of neutrality here. ;)
OOPS!
You have a big day tomorrow??
What, doing some final analysis of the wild card games??
Game over.
Th-th-th-that’s all, folks!
Dang.
‘Bout time Bama got a penalty.
Oh crap, Bama gets it at the 3. frick
Oh well. Bama earned it.
Game Over.
The safety blitz there was (Charles) Woodson-esque. Bama ball.
FUMBLE. Well hot damn
I wish Texas hadn’t used that TO on the incomplete pass. CALL TIME!!!!!
It is a spectacle watching Cody playing fullback. LOL!!!
3rd and goal from the one. Nailbiter!
