Outside chance of happening: Alabama 56, Texas 0, Mack Brown spends his post game interviews lobbying for #1 votes.

bama by 20+

you heard it here first.

i'm 4/4 bcs bowls so far. here's to 5/5.

lol at UTs chances in this game. poor kids.

lol Colt being robbed of the Heisman

There's a player from the big12 who got really robbed, and he was recently seen beating Colt into the turf like he owed him money.

holy **** and the team that scores 100 first usually wins in nba basketball

i have Bama -4.5


i'm liking it

Bama defense is going to pwn the **** out of this game

That's the best they could come up with?

It's a really crappy restaurant, I'm surprised they spelled Crimson correctly.

Let's not go super-fading El Arroyo, now.

Bama and Texas fans,
I am pleased to welcome you to SoCal, and I really do hope you enjoy your stay. I'm glad its 76 degrees out and great weather for your trip and for the game.

But jfc with the driving. In what state is it legal to make a left turn from the middle lane on your side across a crowded six lane street? Where is it legal to literally just stop in the middle of the busy thoroughfare such as Robertson Blvd for like 45 seconds?

I know theres lots of traffic and it can be confusing, but can you at least try to be functionally ******ed? Thanks.

I been here bitch

and I ain't goin' nowhere nohow, neither

Being a Dolphin and Volunteer fan I hate Saban more than anyone else in all of sports, save for Belicheck. I don't think Texas should even be in the game having lost to Nebraska(the only team they played all year), but I think I have to go for them.
Then again I may not even watch this game because I want both teams to lose

You're around here? That's tight I didn't know that. I'm serious about it being cool when people come. I'd just prefer not be run off the road by a mini-van win a big "A" on the back window.

[ ] Texas lost to Nebraska

.. and don't gimmie that weak **** about time being expired. Rules is rules, and wins is wins.

ummm time expired, 2 seconds seems to be the norm for time running off the clock after a play. The ball landed out of bounds with .1-.2 seconds, the game was over.

I think we found Your Mom's gimmick account.

But seriously, Oklahoma State is not a real team. Texas didn't really play any good teams besides Nebraska. But that's ok, they beat the crap out of everyone else except their two biggest rivals. Their D will keep it competitive.

Since when is that the norm? The idea of time running off the clock after a play is ludicrous. If it's after the play on an incomplete pass, the play-clock shouldn't be running.. Makes sense, no? And since .2 > 0, I would say the game was not over.

O rly? When I say NOT a "real" team, I mean the Baylors, UTEPs, and Louisiana-Monroes of the schedule. You know, the teams that don't play in bowl games and aren't ranked in the top 25.

/nitpicking

Ranking in the top 25 is silly, since the rankings near the bottom tend to be horribly inaccurate. Oklahoma State is not one of the top 25 teams in the country. Oklahoma barely is in that case.

Okie State lost to Houston (who was loloverrated), got crushed by Oklahoma, got beat by Ole Miss by 2 TDs, and got demolished by Texas. Who did they beat? Missouri, Tech, A&M, and Iowa State (bowl teams only). All of those teams except Tech are pretty terrible. So basically 1 decent win. 1 bad loss, and 2 kinda bad losses. Just because a team was top 5 preseason doesn't mean it's a good team.

But it's ok for Texas, they blew out all of their weak opponents except A&M, so it's not like they are outmatched that badly or anything. Nebraska winning so easily against Arizona, and Virginia Tech crushing Tennessee helped me give Nebraska a lot more credit (who just has an awful, awful offense), so Texas being close in that game doesn't strike me as any kind of huge blemish.
