You knew it was coming guys. The media darling lost so they have to get their licks in. Don't let it spoil the moment.

Struggling with this one... Alabama was favored by most everyone and widely praised as the better team entering the game.

Most commentators entering the game talked about all the things Texas would have to do right to have a chance

If injuries put asterisks on wins, EVERY game played will have an asterisk, let alone the championship game. Ridiculous argument! The only asterisk there should be is right next to the sports writer's name for being retarded (and still managing to publish his crap!)

Let's try playing the game...what happened to the great McCoy against Nebraska where they had a total of 202 yards?

I'd say Gilbert did a better job throwing for 186 yards, 2 TDs and 4 interceptions against Bama compared to McCoy's 184 yards, ZERO TDs and 3 interceptions.

If Texas was supposed to be an one man army, why did the media chatter about their #1 rush defense allowing only 62.15 yards per game? Why not talk about the vaunted defense allowing not one, but two 100 yard rushers? Looks to be like they got beat in their own game.

End of the day, a win is a win is a win and I have no clue why writers have to stir up the pot all the time and not let the kids who played the game enjoy the win.
