It is my goal for the rest of the season to make people realize that Texas is not the best of the 1 loss teams, because Texas should be 8-2.

WHY DOES EVERYONE FORGET ABOUT THE NEBRASKA GAME!

Texas was DONE, GAME OVER, DRIVE HOME SAFELY.

With just under 2 minutes left, Nebraska a 1 point lead and Texas no timeouts left, here's what happened since so many people seem to forget :

3rd and 3 at NEB 36
Zac Taylor pass complete to Terrence Nunn for 9 yards, fumbled at the Neb 45, forced by Aaron Ross, recovered by Marcus Griffin at the Neb 45, tackled by Aaron Ross.

Had this [censored] Nunn not fumbled the ball, the game was over. The game was under 2 minutes left, Nebraska got a first down on the above play, and Texas didn't have a timeout left.

WHY IS TEXAS ONE OF THE BEST 1 LOSS TEAMS?!?!?!?!?! You got to be freakin kidding me.

So you're saying that wins in which you take advantage on turnovers shouldn't count?

Re: You are the pollster: 0-Loss vs. 1-Loss Debate
 

And who forced the fumble? Oh yeah, the Longhorns did. Longhorns did what they needed to do. Then they drove the ball into the wind and snow and brought in a guy who had never kicked in College before who got the winning field goal.

Iggy, they have blown out Rice, North Texas and Sam Houston State. What else do they need to do?

He said that they aren't the best 1-loss team because they "should've" had 2 losses. Well, just because you take advantage of a turnover to win doesn't mean you "should've" lost.

Nebraska should've never been in that position verse Texas. The early bounces in that game went the Huskers way. Texas outplayed them much more than the 2 point differential would suggest IIRC.

To me, there's a HUGE difference between taking advantage on turnover during a game and getting a gift when the game should be over.

That video sucks but that's the best I could find. It appears to me that Nunn dropped it instead of Texas really causing it. Looks like he was scared of the hit and just let the ball go, like he forgot he was carrying a football.

It doesn't matter though. As much as I want to get fired up, I just know Texas will end up playing in the NC game.

I would be so happy if they do. I'm not getting the game though [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Re: You are the pollster: 0-Loss vs. 1-Loss Debate
 

Teams still left in the NC debate:
SEC:
Florida
Arkansas

Big 12:
Texas

Big Ten:
OSU
Michigan
Wisconsin?

Big East:
Rutgers (Louisville/WVU?)

Pac-10:
USC

Independents:
Notre Dame

Wow. Damn @ this list. Giant, giant cluster [censored].

Re: You are the pollster: 0-Loss vs. 1-Loss Debate
 

lc,

One of the SEC teams will be out by default.
Ditto for Big10 (and Wisconsin does not deserve to be mentioned, sorry all)
Only one of USC/ND survives at best
Texas is looking to be in trouble

The cluster will thin itself out

Re: You are the pollster: 0-Loss vs. 1-Loss Debate
 

SEC is trying to play itself out of an atlarge

Re: You are the pollster: 0-Loss vs. 1-Loss Debate
 

Well I saw the game on TV, and he didn't drop it. It was knocked out of his hands by the Horns.

Ken

Re: You are the pollster: 0-Loss vs. 1-Loss Debate
 

That still leaves a OSU/Michigan, possibly Rutgers, USC/ND, a SEC team, and Texas.

I think that's a fairly big clusterfuck.

So you are saying that if you take advantage of a late mistake by an opponent in winning the game, it shouldn't count? A win is a win. Even if you are one who likes to consider MOV, this was still a Texas win. It was completly ligit.

It is easy to go back through close games and say if this or that hadn't happened, the result would have been diferent. You could do this with many teams. We need to consider what did happen, and what happened was Texas won.

It's sort of useless to agrue about this now, because my points to back me up are falling (ie Auburn).

I hated how Texas was considered the best 1 loss team by the polls when they got a gift at Nebraska. Considering what Auburn, Florida, Cal have done lately, it sort of kills the thunder I had.

Re: You are the pollster: 0-Loss vs. 1-Loss Debate
 

Texas is solving your dilemma for you

Re: You are the pollster: 0-Loss vs. 1-Loss Debate
 

if K-State hangs on here, this is a dream weekend for Rutgers.

Re: You are the pollster: 0-Loss vs. 1-Loss Debate
 

For full disclosure, I should add one of my best friends is from Houston and loves Texas. He never shuts up about them, so I'm always cheering for bad things to happen to Texas.

42-21? Is my LiveCast correct? PLEASE TELL ME SO!

Re: You are the pollster: 0-Loss vs. 1-Loss Debate
 

yes

Re: You are the pollster: 0-Loss vs. 1-Loss Debate
 

It's worse than the score, 2 Texas scores have come on blocked punts inside the 10. They can't do a thing without Colt, and their secondary is pathetic.

And right after I say this, they have a prolonged drive for a td.

it is correct.....a meltdown of epic proportions

Texas started the 2nd half with a blocked punt and got a td. They stop K ST right after and get the ball in great shape. They have the ball inside the 20 and fumble. A couple of deep passes and trick plays...td K St. K st blocks a punt...td K st. Texas fumbles right away. TD K ST. AMAZING!!!!!!!!
