After much thought, I'm pulling for Neb. tonight.

Actually, after reviewing it, I can see how it was called, however, I don’t agree with the call. Review process in the Big 12 is intense – been there, done that – I can guarantee you there is not a Big 12 official out there that “makes up a call” – they “miss” some calls, however, the game happens so fast I can promise you from experience it would be almost impossible to “make up a call”. You can go on any blog tonight and fans from every team think they “got screwed”, were “homered”, etc. – Keep in mind that’s fans from both teams in the same game – might be just a bit biased – nah, fans would never be biased now would they? Any time judgement is involved there are always going to be differences of opinions – that’s the part I love about sports – it’s fun to debat, argue, have fun!

Couple of items:

1. I always get a kick out of the comments like "you have to go by what the official thinks he saw or “made up” and the conspiracy comments like “The officials and the conferences have shown they are still going to do whatever they need to do to get who they want in the bowls they want.” College and high school football officials don’t do it for a living – they all have jobs, families, etc. and could not afford to jeopardize all of that to “make up” some call or "do whatever it takes to get who they want blah, blah, blah. Again, not saying they don’t make mistakes because they do! Not to say there are not some weak officials, because there are (believe me I’ve had some of them on my crews!) However, there is a high degree of integrity in the avocation.

2. Please, please, try officiating – obviously you think officials need all the help they can get! And actually they do as there is a shortage of officials (can’t imagine why since they are treated so respectfully!). Not only would it give you a great appreication for the Officiating avocation, you might actually enjoy it!

Wreck Em Tech and F*** anybody else who doesn’t like it!!

yeah.. well you’re sleeping with the enemy over there on BON, im on to your evil plan mr. Washburn haha.

It’s not like Alabama looked invincible all year. They very nearly lost 3 games too.

I won’t call this team “average” compared to ’05. Yes, the ’05 team was possible the best of the BCS era (along with ’01 Miami), but the bottom line is this team finds ways to win games. Defensively, we are possible better than the ’05 team (that put Michael Griffin, Cedric Griffin, Michael Huff, Brian Robison, Tim Crowder, Frank Okam, Rakpo, Roy Miller, and more in the NFL).

Let’s not forget that Alabama needed TWO blocked field goals to beat a terrible Tennessee team. Nebraska’s defense is every bit as good as LSU and Tennessee and we saw Alabama limp to wins in those games. We’ll head down with the QB who has won more games than anybody else in the history of the game, and, as long as he’s playing, I like our chances. We will have 31 days to get ready for the game. To just say you know for sure that UT is going to lose is incredibly arrogant. I think past examples in MNC games (Nobody saw USC dismantling OU, Florida beating OSU, etc.) there’s no telling how the game will unfold. I thinkBest of luck with Michigan State in San Antonio. Here’s hoping all Big 12 teams represent the league.

The truth means nothing

I just find it odd that the only team we really complain about the officiating of is UT

You shouldn’t find it odd. You make this crap up because it’s UT. You think the sandaggies are actually on par with the Horns, and the only possible way you could lose is to have the refs conspire against you. In fact, some of you guys are already making excuses for next year’s game.
