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.
But they are also the luckiest team I ever saw and that is from 50 years of experience.
If they can hold them to 3, they’ll get the ball back with about 1:20 left.
We gotta hold em to three. If we do, we’re not dead.
And he makes 400K more than when at UNC. HA!
TD ‘Bama. Fat lady is singing.
TOUCHDOWN BAMA!!!
Great game!
I know the UT players are disappointed but they should be very proud of their effort and not giving up when it would of been very easy too especially after the pick6 before halftime.
And yet even without McCoy they managed to pull within three points of the number one team in the nation.
Yeah, they blow.</s>
TD Alabama! Mark Ingram may have just cemented his legacy as a legend in Alabama football history with that second effort for his 2nd score of the game.
Alabama 31
Texas 21
2:01 remaining
Came down to a rookie QB saw it coming but didn’t tuck it in.
Well, it was cool Gilbert got some skin in the game.
Although we (Austinites) need to feed him.... he’s about 50 lbs down.
You gotta be kidding me. They gave Bama a good game even with a kid who hasn’t played. I don’t know if you are an Alabama fan or not, but you are showing the type of class that we Auburn fans expect from them!No wonder we can’t pull for you.
INT.
GD.
He did a great job on the fly. GREAT!! He will have so much experience for next year. He’s got so much to be proud of tonight!
interception. I will not gloat Roll Tide
Texas played a great game.
Why is ‘Bama not taking a knee?
Are you saying AU fans are classy?
