2010 BCS National Championship Game: Texas vs. Alabama
First, go Longhorns. 
Second, would it have been too much to ask of the guys performing the national anthem to shave (Josh Groban) or put on a sweater over the tee shirt (Flea)? 
Third, go Longhorns.

I hate to say things look dire for a McCoy-less Texas. A real shame because if I hate anything, it's the SEC.

While I may agree (didn't see the spectacle) about respect to the National Colors and Anthem, I'm surprised that you don't support their right to freedom of expression.

Rough start, but as i figured, the SEC is just too strong. Other conferences cannot compete. Had McCoy stayed in, sure, it would have been a closer first half if for anything the morale of Texas. Ohwell, i think/thought he was overrated anyways.
Going to bed now at half, confident that the Tide will have Rolled and the Horns will have been beat into milking heifers.

Halftime: is the rout on?
Hopefully McCoy's injury is not too serious. Given the way Alabama's offense has plowed through the Longhorn's defense, one wonders how much of a difference a healthy McCoy would have made.
(And how I dread the inevitable "If McCoy hadn't got hurt..." rumblings. In sport, championship teams overcome setbacks and find ways to win. Shameless Lakers plug here. )

IMO, the question "Can I?" should always be followed immediately by the question "Should I?"
Performing the "Star Spangled Banner" or "God Bless America" is just not another gig.
Just my $0.02.

Gilbert played his frickin' heart out. You can't ask much more than that from a true freshman. As my fiancee put it, he showed up tonight planning on being a cheerleader. To get thrown into the fire like that and come out with two touchdowns after being so far down...he really found a rhythm there for a bit. If a few receivers had given a bit more help on some of those passes, it'd be a different outcome.

The game turned out better than I expected. It looked like a bust of a game by the end of the half.
I was rooting for Bama, but I actually started rooting for Texas when they were making their comeback. I wanted that freshman QB to go legend. What a great story that would be???

Devastatd that Colt ended his college career that way, but what a classy guy. In his comments after the game, I appreciated that he collected his emotions/disappointments and made gracious comments to Alabama for their win and to his teammate QB Gilbert for his perseverance.
