oh and as far as impressive victories, how about laying the wood to the team that crushed cal in their bowl, Texas Tech, or beating Arkansas in feyetville(i know that looking at their record this doesn't seem big, but that is a very intense rivalry game and always hard fought) |

Who should have got the bid?
I do not disagree that there was not a clear cut pick i.e perfect world between Texas and Cal but looking at the last BCS bowls there seems to be a trend towards the Big 12. Nebraska in the Rose Bowl a couple of years ago was a joke and a Pac 10 team was held out. Texas gets it last year? Oklahoma did it the year before to USC? How anyone can say they need to openly lobby for a bowl is beyond me. Save his breath for the OU game and perhaps they win one. Last years NC game was a wake up call to voters that this trend needs to change and not a bias.

thats fine, I won't disagree that there has been a trend towards big 12. For a while I feel that the big 12 deserved that trend. We are down now and honestly I would be shocked to see the big 12 have two teams in the bcs over the sec or big ten. ou was an embarassment no doubt (both in the rrs and the mnc) but i have to say that i loved every second of the orange bowl.
the reason that mac lobbied for a bowl was to point out the inconsitancies that were going on at the time. I wish I still had the article to show you what was happening but there were more than a few people that had texas ranked #6-10 and that was flat out biassed. When texas lost to ou they dropped out of the top ten (or close can remember for sure) when cal lost to sc they dropped to 5 i think.
Damnit i'm getting a headache and went through all this crap back in december. if you are so damned worried if the right team got to the bowl then look at it by the numbers. Texas deserved to be there and won the damn game

Any rivalry game on the road is a solid win, bet I'll bet you were pretty nervous until Matt Jones fumbled near the 20-yard line very late in the game.

when he fumbled i actually jumped and hit my head on the crossbeam on the cealing of the bar i was at. Just a little excited you could say 
oh and in case people don't realize, Arkansas HATES Texas. when they beat us in austin two years ago their coach, thats right coach, steaked a pig flag in our field, stole a peice of turf, and ran of the field with the upsidedown hook'em.
This year, when they got ragged on for using pink jerseys in practice to single out people who were going half ass, they changed the color to burnt orange. |

just getting fired up
Longhorn you are a great sport and just getting ready for the biggest game in a long time. With all the Matta news and the ticket applications in the mail for this game gets you fired up. I wish there were more games scheduled like this so we did not leave it to the pools. Austin is the best place in Texas and next year will be surrounded by red.
