Alamo Bowl - Texas vs Colorado

[Isaiah 63:1]

Texas leads 24-10 at the start of the third. Ehlinger has left the game with a hurt shoulder. Cue the jokes...

SEC Crew sucking up the joint with multiple missed calls.

 

[OSUTideFan]

ashamed to admit I’ve been watching this game from the beginning. SEC refs giving them the business down there.

 

[OSUTideFan]

who was the genius that decided Colorado was a suitable matchup for Texas? A decent (heh) MAC team like Ball State would have stomped Colorado right into the turf.

They at least had the stones to play unlike the other “exhausted” programs in the PAC12 who slogged through their BRUTAL 4&5 game schedules!!!!

It's pretty clear from this blowout that Texas is going to win it all in 21....

 

[bamacon]

If Sam Ehlinger thought about coming back for his 12th year he need not apply. This Thompson kid seems like a major upgrade.

UT is the most overrated athletic program there ever ever ever was!!! Listening to their fan base is painful.

I think Colorado was picked to make Texas look better.

Colorado is a very different state than most other PAC states. Glad they decided to reward their players for trying to play this season. I hope they managed to have some fun on the trip.

CU even went out and found someone to play (SDSU) when they had a game cancelled, so give them a little credit. Being honest, how is Colorado's talent level ever going to match up with Tejas? It shouldn't, ever. The more pertinent question is how come Texas is playing in the Alamo Bowl?

Maybe the goal was not a close game, but to get Texas another win.

My wife (who can be hilarious to watch a game with), said “I don’t k is why these Texas fans are so upset about their season. 6-3 isn’t a bad record for a team like Texas.”

CU used to beat the hell out of Texas. There was a whole decade in which Texas was unable to beat them.

The Alamo bowl is basically the PAC 12 and Big XII’s Outback bowl. Colorado is the 3rd best team of the PAC 12 and Texas is the 2nd best alternate in the Big XII. With Iowa St and Oklahoma in the NY6, the Alamo got 1st dibs and chose Texas over Okie Lite.

One day this week on the "show" JOX calls the Roundtable, the ultimate God of sports knowledge, LT, had heard from one of his "sources" that Sark was going to be named head coach at Texas. Did anyone else hear this?

 

[bamaga]

On a side note to this game, Colorado 5* DT Antonio Alfano is having medical issues relating to epilepsy , and feels that CU is not doing enough to help diagnose or treat his illness( he is not with the team currently, but still on scholarship) !

Texas has not even fired their current HC.

I stopped listening to the Roundtable. When a guy named Rockstar is the most knowledgeable out of the 4 then you know you are killing brain cells.

Could be worse. As Michael Lewis wrote in Moneyball, “half the radio guys seemed to think it was clever to call themselves ‘Mad Dog’...”
