re: Still incredible how Nick Saban broke texas.

Texas is the only blueblood with the scalp of another blueblood.
So I say it is UT 1 and the rest of the blue bloods 0
With one blueblood now destroyed.

I do not think Bama wants to go toe to toe with UT or you will be like the Children of the Corn talking about days gone by when you thought you ran college football

I'm beginning to think this problem is merely an illusion to cover up the fact that Texas isn't nearly as prestigious a program as Texas fans make it out to be.

I think your problem is that you don't realize that if Texas could get Alabama results, the hype and the money would far exceed anything Alabama has brought in.

I mean, we did get out own television channel out of the Mack Brown era.

Texas winning big attracts actors and presidents of the United States, not a load of belligerent hayseeds from some backward state.

If, if, if, if! Always the if with you guys. You are simply forgetting one thing: Texas has NEVER gotten Alabama results. All they have ever had going for them was money and the state of Texas. But now since just about every FBS game is broadcast on national TV these days, the natural recruiting advantage Texas once enjoyed is no longer as big of a factor.

Which directly led to the exit of Colorado, Nebraska, Missouri, and Texas A&M from the Big 12. Oklahoma is now rumored to be shopping around for a new conference, too. Fine job there you guys.

Yeah...because JFK didn't show up to an Alabama game one time when he was President of the United States (he did). We've also had visits from actors such as Sela Ward, Melissa Joan Hart, David Arquette, Courtney Cox, Tom Arnold, and Eva Longoria since Saban began this run in 2008.

Look up the Kennedy space speech that includes "why does rice play Texas?"

Lyndon Johnson and George W. Bush were big Horn fans. LBJ went to a lot of games.

The only time a president has proclaimed a national champion before the polls was Richard Nixon with Texas in 1969.

Your actor list is unimpressive and your understanding of those big 12 teams is incorrect. Aggy and the Mothershuckers were already butthurt, Missouri had been whoring itself to the Big 10 before the Longhorn Network and Colorado jumped the gun to beat Baylor to the PAC 10.

So? You said, and I quote:

You never stipulated the quality or pedigree of the actors. You merely made a blanket statement, in ignorance, and hoped that I couldn't rebuttal. Now that I have done so, you slam the quality of the actors and dismiss the fact that a sitting President attended an Alabama game by saying: "Said President once said, 'why does Rice play Texas?'". You failed and you failed epically. Not just because you were wrong, but because JFK said those words due to the fact that he was speaking at Rice University at the time those words were spoken.

And the fact that you have had so many actors and presidents attend games is not surprising. You are the University of Texas. You're the flagship school of a state whose population is second only to California's in number. Alabama is ranked 24th overall in total population, so naturally they aren't going to pull in as many heavy hitters because not as many people hail from Alabama.

And the fact that you have all this star power, all of these facilities, and all of this money waiting at your hand and knee is alarming. Why? Because you have all of it and you still can't produce a college football dynasty worthy of the dynasties of yesteryear. Schools in smaller states like Oklahoma, Alabama, and Indiana have long eclipsed Texas in that category.

You think Nick Saban is responsible for the outcome of their next 88 games? The guy is a good coach but maybe you're giving him a little too much credit.

Did you watch the game.
First off with McCoy that drive would have resulted in a TD. Texas 7 Bama 0 instead of UT3 Bama 0
Now if you remember on the kickoff Bama lost possession of the ball somewhere around their own 35. With McCoy it would have been a TD maybe but even without the TD we are speaking about Texas 14 or 10 Bama 0. instead of Texas 6 Bama 0

Being down two possessions this would have forced Bama to open up their offense more and we saw in that game that Bama couldn't. They had no passing game at all.
Instead Bama was down by only one possession and still could play conservative.
Gilbert found holes in that Bama team in the second half do you really think McCoy wouldn't.

Even with Gilbert Texas was down by only a few points with a few minutes left. A fumble is what kept UT from winning and Bama from losing.

Bama and their fans in that game did not have as much confidence as Texas. Texas had won every previous game before Bama and has just won a National Championship 4 years earlier.
If Bama would have been down 14-0 I think that game would have been a blowout
I am talking about Texas 51 Alabama 10
I saw it coming up until that hit. Bama fans can tell a different story

Wut?

Holy. fricking. shite. This is beyond sad.

Ahhh the myth of Garrett Gilbert. Dude was 15 for 40 and threw four interceptions. He had a QBR of FIVE in that game. He hit on a couple of passes and Longhorns thought he played like Joe Montana. Bama had shut down the best QB in the game that season in Tebow. McCoy was a fine QB but he was no Tebow. I appreciate the delusional fantasy world you live in to try to cope with that loss but Bama wasn't losing that day
