Well, the rushing the field thing was really, really embarrassing for Tech. I gotta say. I obviously root for UT, but my boyfriend grew up in Lubbock and both of us rather like Lubbock, Tech, and the Tech campus except when it comes to Tech sports. But for example we'd root for Tech against any other Big XII team except Texas. We really felt the rushing the field thing was just classless. I do think that getting cocky is going to be a concern... OU looks pretty good after Nebraska, and OSU doesn't look half bad either.

Wow, what a game Saturday night. I jumped from my seat when I thought that Gideon (that poor true freshman safety for texas) caught the interception, but then dropped it. I'm sure he's lost a lot of sleep since then But, certainly Tech deserved it, Texas shouldn't have spotted them 19 points in the first half of the game, they are too good of a team to make up that difference.
We missed the first 1/2 because we were at my son's highschool game, which was a DO or DIE to make the playoffs for the 3rd straight year, and WE DID!!!  Woohoo! We then hurried home to watch in amazement as Texas went down
My oldest though, who goes to Florida and had 1st row seats in the endzone, was happy as punch!! If someone can tell me how to post a picture, I can post the one he texted me of Tebow scoring!!! Woohoo!!
If, somehow, Florida ends up playing Texas, I don't know what we'll do, but we sure as heck will break open the piggy bank to go as a family with one son wearing blue and orange and one son wearing burnt orange. Wow!!
I'm sorry to say to those Nittany Lion fans, that if they make it to the national championship and go up against any of these teams at the top from the big 12 or the sec, they are going to lose. It would be one more travesty of not having a playoff system. At least it won't be perennially over-rated USC!!! |
I had the same reaction to the supposed Gideon interception. The commentator called out "INTERCEPTION" and my boyfriend and I were jumping up and down and hugging and freaking out. What a disappointment! Man oh man. I know we let Tech get up too much in the first quarter, but we made two HUGE mistakes there at the end with Gideon not getting the interception and the other guy missing what should have been an easy tackle on that last Tech pass.

eta: Question: what if TTU beats OU but not OSU, then UT goes on to lose to TAMU? [its possible] what is the scenario then? |
I don't think it's really possible. I can buy the scenario of TTU losing to one or the other or both of OU and OSU. But UT losing to TAMU? Unlikely. First off, we lead the series with them by like a ridiculous amount. I know people always say "oh, it's a rivalry and anything can happen blah blah blah" but frankly TAMU has been sucking it up this year and UT has been looking pretty darn good.... I mean, yes, anything is possible, but I really do think UT will win out now.
