Alabama would have to fall to 3rd in conference standings to meet us in the Cotton Bowl. I’m not sure, just a guess. But, like you, I would L O V E a rematch. I was at that game too (my face was the sad one plastered over the screen after we lost!), and I still have nightmares about that kick. I swear it didn’t go over the crossbar…anyway, I would be really excited for a rematch! It’d be a great game.

That was nonsense. Whatever that guy’s name was that kicked it…. He is the luckiest sob of all time.

…the fact that the Alabama receiver’s knee was down behind the line of scrimmage but still managed to score on the play. Thought that is what happened while at the game and then the fact was sadly confirmed by replays at home.
Other than that, though, Tech played like crap so I can’t harp on one play that didn’t go our way.

The winner of Florida/Alabama will go to the National Championship, most likely while the loser will probably be Sugar Bowl bound. Either one will have a better record than the 3rd place team, Georgia, at 9-3. They will go to the Capital One Bowl. So it would be pretty impossible to have a TT/Alabama Cotton rematch. I’m still waiting for the Cotton Bowl to pick up the tab for my tv that I kicked when that dead duck sailed through the uprights. Damn that pissed me off.

The 4th SEC team will go to Cotton, which should be Ole Miss. Even though it’s not the same as the Alabama Cotton Bowl rematch, we did play them a few years ago in a home/away series. I’m pretty sure Tech won both of those over Eli Manning, so they would be the ones looking for revenge. We just have to be sure to not be down on ourselves for getting the shaft from the bcs. Remember when we went into the Holiday a few years ago and ripped Cal a new one after they were in a similar situation.

We rattled Eli Manning to no end with our EEEEEEllllllllllliiiiiiiiiiiii chanting. He was visibly rattled b/c of it and it was very satisfying. Every incomplete pass….. eeeeeelllllllliiiiiiiiii, EEEEEEELLLLLLIIIIIIII, it was awesome

How about this logic… Tech will beat Mississippi because Tech already beat UT, and Ole Miss qb was not good enough to start for UT. It’s quite simple.

We can get the Cotton Bowl rocking with
JJJEEEEEEEEEEEVVVVAAAAAAAAAAANNNNN.

I don’t know if it sounds as good as the Eli chant, but surely Tech will have an advantage of fans there to make it happen.

I was @ the game in Oxford and that was the nite that Eli had one if not his best game passing(444yds). Only trouble BJ(freakin) Symons had the 2nd best game passing in NCAA history!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ole Miss could not stop Wes Welker!!!! It was awesome. So anyway, living in Mississippi if we can’t go a BCS (which is totally wrong) then smacking Ole Miss would be jsut fine in the Cotton Bowl. I even heard Houston Nutt say on his radio show tonite that if they play Tech they will have to get pressure on Harrell and he felt they could possibly have some success. But he said they only hoped to slow us down because he knew we would get completions. They also joked about the poor cornerbacks who would have to cover Crabtree. Anyway, good luck Ole Miss on getting pressure on Harrell without sending 8!!!! Wreck’em Tech Keep Leach

Like a scolding mother scraping her finger at her naughty child. eeeelllllliiiiiiiiiiii…….EEEEELLLLLLLIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!! It was so funny. My current roommate and I were both there and it still makes us laugh when we watch him play for NY.

Which Ole Miss team have you been watching? I live in Jackson, MS and have seen them in person. They are a decent defense but in no way comparable to Texas and especially OU. They have some decent linemen but they very first thing from Ole MIss fans and Coach Nutt(last nite) is that they are very, very concerned about their defensive backs!!!!!!!!! Don’t let the Houston Nutt hype get out. Yes we must play our game but I promise if we play like we have most of the year we will win. And don’t forget HOME GAME in Dallas!!!!!!

We’re 0 for 2 against the Rebels in Bowl games.

at the Fiesta. There is a chance, but it’s like a 5% chance. I’ve been thru denial, then anger, now I’m in acceptance and reconciliation mode. Sorry.

The reality is that yes, the Fiesta can take either Texas or Tech if OU wins. The other reality is that there is almost no way any bowl game, regardless of head to head, would bypass Texas for Tech at this point in time. If Tech had a long history of traveling in droves compared to UT (we don’t) or if we had more of a national fan base compared to UT (we don’t) they would consider it. I’m sure their bowl rep’s will say all the politically correct things about Tech and all that if asked, but you can pretty much ink the Longhorns into that one if OU wins.

If Texas finishes either #3 or #4 then they are in and we have no recourse because the BCS bowls can only take 2 teams from each conference. So if OU wins their in the NC game and Texas goes Fiesta if they finish #3/4. I didn’t realize this either until 2 nites ago. I always thought the BCS was about the top 2 but it is not it is about the top 4. If Texas somehow dropped to #5 then the Fiesta could still pick us and then I think it is a toss-up because the I think the Fiesta does like us but who knows. Wreck’em Tech Keep Leach
