Hook ‘em! UT headed to BCS title game

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP)—For more than a year, the Texas Longhorns agonized over falling 1 second short of getting into the Big 12 and national championship games.

This season, they’re conference champions and headed to the BCS title game because a video replay showed they still had 1 second left.

Given a chance for one last play, Hunter Lawrence nailed a 46-yard field goal as time expired for good, giving a roughed-up Colt McCoy and the Longhorns a 13-12 victory over No. 21 Nebraska in the Big 12 championship on Saturday night and a spot in the BCS final against Alabama.

“We had so many things not go our way tonight,” McCoy said, “but we found a way.”

A loss to Texas Tech with 1 second left in 2008 kept the Longhorns out of the Big 12 and national championship games, letting in a team they’d beaten by 10 on a neutral field. That grueling memory helped convince McCoy to return for his senior season and it drove this club all year. In fact, back in July, Texas coach Mack Brown said: “Obviously, the only thing Colt wants is to be 1 second better.”

The Cornhuskers rushed the field thinking they’d pulled off the upset when McCoy threw a pass out of bounds and the clock inside Cowboys Stadium showed all zeros. The victory would’ve given them a spot in a BCS bowl and revenge for a Texas upset in the 1996 title game that kept the Cornhuskers from playing for the national championship.

Yesterday was a sad, sad night in the Gator Nation. I'm going to need Texas to beat the shit out of Alabama! Props to Alabama's QB, Mark Ingram, though...dude's a freaking beast.

Sucks about the SEC Championship...Sugar Bowl here we come!

This probably contradicts anything you'd ever hear coming from a Gator fan, but I'm ready for the Tebow hype to be over. He's like God around here; it must be tiring for him to deal with, and it sure is annoying to keep hearing about. The shot of him crying was a bit heartwrenching for a second though. Moving on...

That $60 parking is outrageous, but that is the creme de la creme of football palaces. I went for the Raiders game on Thanksgiving.

I was there on Thanksgiving too. What were you doing in Texas?

technol21 said:

I'm glad the Gators got their ass kicked. Tim Tebow crying on the sideline
after the game was priceless. I didn't like the way they showed Georgia
up last season and they ran the score up. Every dog has his day and it
has nothing to do with Georgia. Sometimes cockiness come back to bite
you in the ass. Roll Tide Roll. Bama 2009-2010 National Champs

SCNDLS said:

To see the stadium and the Raiders. I was there Wed - Sat. Went to Pappadeaux for dinner . . . . .

SCNDLS said:

I LOVED watching Jesus Chr..., err, Tim Tebow, crying like a little bitch on the sidelines. It was SWEET watching Florida getting their asses handed to them. Tebow may be a nice guy, but I'm sick of the media and fans giving him the Favre treatment.

728huey said:

Bad move. They shouldn't be playing each other.

uPtoWnNY said:

Why? People here are pissed cuz they played each other last year and TCU won.

uPtoWnNY said:

Another thing i hate about the bowl system is the automatic
tie ins with conferences. WTF?
I remember South Carolina played Ohio State two years back
to back in the Outback Bowl because of the conference tie
in crap a year before Ohio State's national championship season.
These guys can do a playoff with the top 8 BCS teams easily
without this crap. Also there should not even be a poll the
first four weeks of the season.

uPtoWnNY said:

I remember the way he was showboating last year when they
ran the score up on Georgia.

Wasn't Obama gonna handle this shit???

phunkdaddy said:

Yet, Alabama chose to take a knee when they coulda ran it up. Now, that's class.

I think he has his hands full with health care,Afghanistan,

Damn all that! I need him to handle this BCS championship crisis by next fall.

McCoy highlights big awards night for Big 12

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP)—Colt McCoy’s near blunder in the final seconds of the Big 12 title game hasn’t cost him on the awards circuit so far.

It hasn’t hurt the conference, either.

McCoy capped a big Thursday night for the Big 12, winning the Maxwell Award honoring the nation’s best all-around player.

It was just the latest in a series of postseason honors for McCoy, who also is a finalist for the Heisman Trophy. He won the Walter Camp Football Foundation’s player of the year award for the second consecutive season earlier in the day.

Before he beat out fellow Heisman finalists Mark Ingram of Alabama and Tim Tebow of Florida for the Maxwell, he picked up the Davey O’Brien Award at the annual college football awards at Disney World, given to the nation’s best quarterback.

“To win awards like this shows that you’re greatly respected,” McCoy said. “It means people see the things that you do, and you’re rewarded for them.”

Is it true that Tim Tebow's a virgin???

Who are you guys rooting for???

I, unfortunately, agreed to go see Lil Wayne in concert with a friend not knowing it was the same night as the game.

Just further proof that he's the antiChrist

SCNDLS said:

Lil' Wayne over your boys in the Championship Game? Silly women . . . .

I pick Texas to win because of the BCS Heisman jinx. Since the BCS' inception only Matt Leinart won both the Heisman and the National Championship. Ingram can't control the game enough to pull it off. Texas 27-19.

But let's be clear . . . . I'm rooting for 'Bama.
