College Football '10 - Conference switching chaos!!

[MRT144]

This girl needs some instruction from Guy. Seems to be lacking enthusiasm.

She's blind, you asshat. And she's not Ray Charles or Stevie Wonder so don't even try it.

[SlowwHand]

I didn't know she was blind. Nothing says that she's blind. So screw you.

[Berzerker]

gotta pull for UT since they're big 12, but Bama's gonna roll tide

[SlowwHand]

I don't think so. I think they can hold Ingram. After him, there's little else.

[Berzerker]

wow, nice series for UT, sack to 3 and 23 and a fake punt turns into an int

[SlowwHand]

Uh oh. All bets are off if McCoy is staying out.

[Tuberski]

They aren't stopping Ingram, either.

ACK!

[SlowwHand]

It's like the announcers said, the whole team is affected. This sucks.

[Ming]

Well that was dumb... down by 18 going into the half. I'm sure they're glad they took that time out.

[reismark]

This game looks over. Unless Colt can come back, I don't think Texas has a chance.

[SlowwHand]

You don't? How long did it take you to figure that one out?


And yeah, I imagine they're thrilled ****less over the timeout and score.

[Ming]

It Ain't Over Yet... Texas scores again, and with a two point conversion are only 3 down with just over 6 minutes to play.

[Tuberski]

Wow, just Wow.

ACK!

[Tuberski]

You don't? How long did it take you to figure that one out?


And yeah, I imagine they're thrilled ****less over the timeout and score.

Yep, it may end up costing them the game.

ACK!

What an amazing game.

Has there ever been a college football game that was a clearer sign of the existence of a higher power? In all my long years, I have never seen a more obvious example of divine retribution. It is well known unto all that Texas won two games this season that it did not deserve to win. Against Oklahoma, Texas celebrated an undeserved victory against a team that had lost its star quarterback early in the first quarter. Then, against Nebraska, Texas came away with an undeserved victory against a team with an anemic offense that relied on defense alone to win games.

Now, simply winning games you did not deserve to win is not an affront to the gods. If Texas and their fans had simply accepted these gifts with an appropriate sense of humility, the disaster of this evening may well have been averted. But no, Texas and their fans decided to tempt fate. Instead of being honest and humble about their undeserved triumphs, they chose to continue acting in the arrogant and high-handed manner that is their trademark. They disparaged those who rightfully pointed out that Texas has succeeded as much through luck as through skill and were contemptuous of those who doubted Texas' supposed destiny as national champions. This violation of the rules of propriety did not go unnoticed.

The gods decided to punish Texas for its insolence, and what a dreadful punishment it was. Texas' star quarterback was struck down early in the first quarter, just as Oklahoma's had been. Texas was now put in the same position as its former opponent in Nebraska, attempting to defeat a mighty foe with only a stout defense and the barest hint of an offense. This turn of events should have resulted in a rout, but that was not the will of the gods. They had a much more terrible lesson in mind.

Against all odds, Texas battled back in the second half. Their defense was impenetrable as Nebraska's, their freshman quarterback as adequate as Landry Jones. They fought their way back to a mere field goal back and a glorious comeback seemed within their grasp. And that's when the gods revealed the depths of their enmity for the Longhorns. How heartbreaking must it be to lose the national championship due to a late fumble near your own endzone? As heartbreaking as losing a bitter rivalry game due to injury? As utterly demoralizing as losing a conference championship due to one second being put back on the clock? The despair was comparable in each case, I would imagine, and thus the true genius of the gods was revealed. The Longhorns were made to suffer a loss in the same agonizing fashion as their former opponents. They felt the same sickening pain and cried the same bitter tears. As they had done unto others, the gods had done unto them. And all was well.

In short, karma is a *****. Roll Tide!!!
