fantastic ballgame by the longhorns. couple observations:
1 - sucks so bad about the qb. hope he recovers fully and quickly. it's terribly unfortunate we were robbed of not just 1, but now 2 games due to injury. and i'm sorry it was at your expense both time. truly sucks.
2 - on that injury note, i've always held that the bcs title game would have been a different game, but i'm not sure the result changes all that much. maybe, but i don't think so. that is not true of this game. as it was, bama should have lost by 2 tds, maybe more. with the qb, very likely more. 1st string kid is a baller, card isn't bad, and longhorns definitely came to play for at least this week.
3 - refs were awful. both side got robbed, but i think i'd tilt it in bama favor for most favorable calls. lots of pi missed. those 2 roughing passer calls were just terrible, but that one on young... i don't even know what to say. shoulda been a safety.
4 - from bama perspective, the penalties were killer, and mostly self inflicted. so so many stupid penalties. especially by leaders like anderson. just had a bad game all around, though he did have 2 key plays.
5 - as day played out, i started feeling better about that game. not due to anything bama did, but it's obvious the upset juju was out in full force, and surviving that is never a bad thing.
good luck longhorns. maybe you're back? see you in ttown next year.
