Texas loses to A&M

[KLin]

that was such a poor throw by McCoy. That idiot that hit him afterwards got what he deserved.

ABC. Less than a minute in the game, A&M leads 12-7.

 

[KLin]

Looks like they're going to get the ball back. There's still hope for the Longhorns.

 

[KLin]

33 seconds to go 80 yards.

 

[KLin]

Colt McCoy down for the count.

 

[Queasy]

Looks like coach fran is saving his job.

 

[bunnyfubbles]

Wow, looks like A&M is playing dirty

 

[Fingolfin269]

Strength of schedule of a few teams is taking a hit today.

 

[Umberger]

and it's over.

 

[slvrsol]

1 and done

Hmmm...so the Holiday Bowl website (Text) is a little ambiguous.

The 2006 Pacific Life Holiday Bowl kicks off at 5 p.m. on Thursday, December 28 at Qualcomm Stadium. You won't want to miss the excitement as the runner-up in the Pac-10 takes on a highly rated team from the Big 12

Fiesta Bowl - Big 12 Champion
Cotton Bowl - Big 12 Runner-up
Holiday Bowl - Big 12 "highly rated team"

Is that where Texas will be playing?

Uh...so is this verified?

 

[arod]

nothing has been verified and likely wont until after next week.... ou has to beat osu tomorrow or else texas still goes to the big12 championship. and its not a given that either texas or ou can beat nebraska.

this game saved fran alot of problems this year and all offseason. he still has to improve even more next year though because his record against the "teams that matter" is still horrid (2-12 against texas, texas tech, ou, and nebraska). but this was a very big win today for his case and the team.

My predictions:

BCS Big Boys' Game: OSU v. USC
Rose: UM v. Florida (Rose loses both it's tie-ins so they get first dibs on first two alternates)
Fiesta: OU v. Boise State
Orange: Georgia Tech v. Louisville
Sugar: Arkansas v Notre Dame

Here's the kicker... Wisconsin already accepted a bid to the Capitol One bowl which I totally don't understand because after Ark went down to LSU and after ND loses to USC they will probably be in the top 6 and thus get an auto bid. Must be something in the rules about 3 teams from one conf not allowed in BCS.

Hook 'em Horns!

oooh wait....

Yeah I don't know. I've heard some people say it simply can't happen (can't have more than two teams from 1 conference), and I've heard others say theres a loophole in the rules (ie finishing extremely high, 6th or higher)...it'd be nice to know either way.

 

[JasonCoder]

Had to edit my predictions... must be tired or something cuz I didn't even have a Big East team in there. But still I think there's problems with wisky not being in there somewhere.

Directly from the BCS rules of eligibility:

No more than two teams from any single Conference may play in BCS games in a single year, regardless of whether they are automatic qualifiers or at-large picks.

 

[KLin]

OU is going to the Big 12 championship. No BCS bowl for Texas this year

 

[LS20]

colt mccoy was clearly still hurt from the stinger he received the game before. the guy throws for an ungodly philip-rivers-like 73% completion on the season? and he went 50% after the first drive.. ALL of the incompletions being underthrown.

horrible choice by coach brown & OC greg davis to leave him in the game. nevertheless that doesnt excuse the team from scoring 7 points... where was the running game?
