Saints Win! I’m glad my prediction was wrong.
Sunday, February 7th, 2010Super Bowl Prediction – Colts 45, Saints 27
Sunday, February 7th, 2010I’m rooting for the Saints but I think the Colts are going to blow out the Saints. I don’t think anyone can stop Manning.
Two More Reasons Why TCU and Boise State are Stuck Playing Each Other
Thursday, December 24th, 2009
The lowly Mountain West is killing the mighty Pac 10.
The top 3 teams in the Mountain West (TCU, BYU, and Utah), along with Boise State in the WAC, are probably better than the top 3 teams in the Pac 10, Big 10, Big East, ACC, and maybe even the Big 12, with the exception of Texas. Alabama and Florida in the SEC would probably fair well too, but we’ll never know for sure thanks to the fraudulent pairing of TCU against Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl.
Trash Can Urinal – San Francisco Could Really Use Some of These
Saturday, December 12th, 2009It’s hard to walk around the streets of San Francisco without seeing some guy taking a leak in an alley, if you’re lucky, or right out in the open, if you’re not. It’s one of the first things my friend John commented on during his first trip to SF. As it turns out, you don’t see a lot of public urination back in Texas.
#2 Texas to Meet #1 Alabama for the National Championship
Sunday, December 6th, 2009Finally a reason to want to go to Pasadena.
I’m predicting a Texas win.
Hook ‘em Horns!
It was ugly, but it’s a win – Texas 13, Nebraska 12
Sunday, December 6th, 2009
Texas will face Alabama for the National Championship.
Last night Texas (#3) defeated Nebraska (#21) 13 to 12 on a 46-yard field goal by Hunter Lawrence as time expired. Texas remains undefeated and will meet Alabama in January in the National Championship Game.
This was a really ugly win. Nebraska’s defense played great, as did the Texas defense. No one expected much scoring by Nebraska, but Texas was supposed to score. Despite being a 14 point underdog, Nebraska was 1 second away from pulling off a huge upset.
Nebraska took a 12 to 10 lead with a 42-yard field goal with 1:44 left. Based on Texas’ offensive performance so far in the game, it didn’t look like they were going to be able to pull off another last minute comeback. Nebraska looked to have the game won. But the wheels fell off for Nebraska.
First, they kicked the ball out of bounds giving Texas the ball at the 40-yard line. Then McCoy completed a pass to Jordan Shipley for a first down. But Nebraska made a horse-collar tackle on Shipley adding another 15 yards to the completion which put Texas in field goal range. At this point, it looked like Texas was going to pull off the comeback. It was down to 3rd and 13 from the 29 yard line. Texas had one time out with 8 seconds left. And then it happened.
Colt McCoy hung on to the ball too long as he rolled right and threw the ball out of bounds under heavy pressure from the Nebraska defense. The clock was down to 0 seconds as the Nebraska sidelines flooded onto the field with an apparent upset victory. But after a review, 1 second was added to the clock giving Texas the opportunity to kick the game winning field goal. And the rest is history.
Tennessee 20, Arizona 17. Vince Young is Clutch!
Sunday, November 29th, 2009
Vince Young wins again!
This was a GREAT game! The Titans pulled off a last-second, come-from-behind victory over the Cardinals.
Vince Young drove the Titans 99 yards and converted on 3 fourth downs to win the game with a 10 yard touchdown pass to Kenny Britt with no time left on the clock.
This win was reminiscent of his many last minute heroics as a Texas Longhorn with the most memorable being his win over Michigan in the Rose Bowl in 2005 and his win over USC in the National Championship Game in 2006. Vince Young was the offensive MVP in both games.
Vince’s NFL career is beginning to blossom. This is the 5th straight win since he returned to the starting line-up after Tennessee went 0-6 without him. It’s his 9th straight win as a starter. Overall, he’s 23-11. Not bad.
Keep it up Vince.
TCU Finishes Regular Season Undefeated
Saturday, November 28th, 2009
Junior wide receiver Bart Johnson
My hometown team TCU (#4) finishes the regular season 12-0 after a 51-10 blowout of New Mexico. They won the Mountain West Conference and should be going to their first BCS bowl game. I’m betting they win their bowl game. I’m very happy for TCU and the town of Fort Worth, TX.
Texas 49, Texas A&M 39
Friday, November 27th, 2009
Colt McCoy rushes for a career high 175 yards.
Texas (#3) moves to 12-0 after a hard-fought victory over Texas A&M. Texas had a great game from Colt McCoy and A&M had a great game from their QB, Jerrod Johnson. But Texas had more big plays and won the turnover battle.
Next up is Nebraska in the Big 12 Championship Game in Arlington, TX at Cowboys Stadium.
Who’d Have Guessed?
Wednesday, November 25th, 2009Would you ever have guessed that Nate Newton is Tre Newton’s father? Aside from the same last name, of course.
- Tre Newton, freshman running back for the Texas Longhorns.
Tre looks like an athlete. Nate looks like a football playing Santa Claus. I’m not saying Nate’s not great, because he is. He helped Emmitt Smith to become the all-time leading rusher, Troy Aikman to make the Hall of Fame, and the Dallas Cowboys to win 3 out of 4 straight Super Bowls (92, 93, & 95) with an NFC Championship Game appearance in between. Not bad for a fat guy.
- Nate Newton, former All-Pro Offensive Lineman for the Dallas Cowboys.
Nope, I don’t see the similarity.
