Texas vs. Nebraska

[RockyMountainOySker]

Hey Vinay,

 

I don't think you are incorrect about anything and I think you write well. I hope you can identify that the bleacherreport is probably the most inaccurate and off-base sports website in existence, but you are merely posting your message there because many people would be exposed to it without creating your own website.

 

Secondly, while I don't doubt that you are 15 and I think you write better than most adults on internet boards, there is something really wrong with your letter.

 

You know how there are only certain frequencies that dogs can hear, like a dog whistle? There is something that you clearly have no perception of, and that is when you are being patronizing. I don't think anyone should really care, because at 15, you're naturally inquisitive and trying to figure out the world around you, but the manner in which you do it is incredibly patronizing and rude. The way in which you wrote the letter came across more as an insult to the intelligence and temperament of the fans of the Corn Huskers than as an open quest to gain an understanding of the situation. Try to be more conscientious when you write in the future.

 

Otherwise, keep up the good work in writing. Understand that you are dealing with sports fans here, and Texans and Nebraskans will obviously feel very differently over the situation and that both you and the Huskers will see things very differently.

 

I agree. I also agree with a lot he said in the letter. 50/50 balls are ultimately decided by players, not officials. Every single play has the potential to turn out differently if 1/22 people on the field to something different, so I don't buy the "things could have been a lot different if...".

The point is the game is over, we are still upset about that game (keep '94 out of this), we know we lost the game, and we hope to win this year.

I don't care how old the poster is or how well it was written. Some valid points were made, and some were merely opinion and speculation, much like any other post on a message board.

i don't want to rag on this stranger, but he brought up his age to impress everyone, and then when people question him and his credibility on it, he says his age does not matter. it is quite irrelevant just like that fact that i was born in 2004 has nothing to do with this post. i know he will say that he was framing what he had to say with his age, because he is young with a young perspective, but then how can he bring up '94? i am still wondering what that kid was expecting from us when he posted that 'article'. the only thing that makes sense is an argument. we are not going to agree, we know and understand his side, and anything else comes off has patronizing. i don't mind respectful debate, but i think he pretentiously intended to 'enlighten' us. here is a pretension, we have heard it all. we know where we stand and we know where you stand. all we have left is one game (maybe two) and that is all that matters between us.

EDIT x2: Am I the only one that acknowledges losing that way sucked but it was probably the right call?

I think 99% of Husker fans can probably agree it was the right call, because it was. The reason we continue to whine about it is I'm not so sure the :01 would have been added back onto the clock if it was Nebraska in position to kick a game-winning FG.

 

We hope your current coach would never be so inept as to not rmeind the QB of the importance of the clock,; so it would never be in doubt. Then again, Mack Brown and Les Miles have won national titles.

 

Would you consider either of these coaches great coaches? I'll throw another coaches name that I feel belongs with these two: Howard Schnellenberger. All three of these coaches have won a NC. All three of these coaches did it at schools that were smack dab in the middle of a recruiting hotbed. I consider these three coaches great recruiters, but I don't consider them great coaches. I can actually see Les Miles being fired within the next 2-3 seasons.

 

 

Howard Schnellenberger b. 1934 is still coaching which means he has to be pretty good, and probably has a feud with Joe Paterno. Whether he is great is uncertain; what has Miami achieved when they aren't running a Thug U program? Just the 2000-2002 stretch.

 

I am ready to jump on board the "Less Miles" bandwagon after that game where they squandered their final seconds. His only title in the extremely screwey year of 2007 where the #2 team changed every hour. I would much rather see Miles made the next coach at UM than Harbaugh.

 

I don't know that much about Brown since I only watch the Red River and the B12CG. He recently said something about the Spread lacks power running that they needed, which appealed to the traditionalists on NDNation. But given the amount of talent he can recruit without leaving his office, yes, one title in that many years is not great.

 

You can get into a lot of Chicken and the Egg arguments regarding local talent and team achievements. The players become great under good coaching and thus raise the local profile. That being said, the SEC is certainly running away with the CFB world right now but I think it will change. If the best players are from Florida, Texas, and California then those states have actually UNDERachieved over the past 100 years in winning national titles. If they couldn't have broken the rules and run NFL farm teams then they didn't win much of anything.

 

 

I'd say that clearly Notre Dame and Nebraska have won the most while starting out without regional advantages. Nebraska makes the most out of Nebraska while we do the best in getting great players to Northwest Indiana, not a football hotbed.

Yes, I'm serious that the game was never in doubt. As Ira said, Alabama was in clock-burning mode. After they went up 17-6 they took it down a notch. Sure, Texas scrabbled to get back in the game, but even pulling within three in the fourth quarter, the game was still firmly in Alabama's grasp.

 

If some fluke play occurred and Texas took the lead and held on to win, we wouldn't be talking about how Texas "beat" Alabama, we'd be talking about how Alabama collapsed, or gave the game away.

 

You can't just look at the clock and the score and say Texas was not dominated. You have to have watched the whole game, and paid attention to the ebb and flow of it all, and the whole picture showed that Alabama was very clearly a level above the Horns.

While I do agree that Bama dominated the game, I can't say the game was never in doubt. I was cheering for Bama hardcore and I know when Texas got the ball back down three, I was getting worried. I didn't think Gilbert would lead them down the field for the win, but I didn't think Tyrod would hit an 80 yard pass either (too soon?). It would be fair to say the game was in doubt at that moment. But yes, I will agree that Bama dominated and let off the pedal.

Bama did not lose 4 games over the course of the season, 3 of which from self-destruction. That's what sets them apart from us and why that's not really a good reason. But that's another topic.

 

When the pressure was "on" by UT coming within a field goal, Bama simply dialed up a blitz (put their foot back on the gas for 1 PLAY!) and caused a fumble that led to an easy score. If Bama wanted to take more aggressive risks in the second half I'm sure they could have play way more glamorous defense, but it wasn't worth it.

 

If anything, the game may have been in question for 1 snap.

Guys, this is a copy of a letter I've posted to bleacherreport. If I need to put this in a different forum, please enlighten me.

 

 

Let me preface this by saying that I am a huge Texas Longhorns fan.

 

Dear Nebraska Cornhuskers Fans,

 

I am writing this today in reference to the article published by Mike Blackwell at Inside Texas.com. On behalf of the Longhorn nation, I'd like to apologize for the words of some of my brethren. They are very passionate about their team, and can't always help what they say in the spur of the moment. I'm sure that some of you have also said things you wouldn't be proud of; it's understandable with the fiery emotions that are raised by this matter. And I must say that to me, Nebraska fans are the highest representation of class, no matter what the article by Blackwell may say. As a whole, you tend to be civilized, and quite knowledgeable about the game of football. One of my dreams is to watch a game of football at Memorial Stadium (I’m only 15, so I have time), and I know that when I do, I'll be welcomed with a proverbial red carpet.

 

As for the article itself, I have just one question for you; what's wrong with it? First off, Blackwell was writing it more for us Horns fans, than he really was for you. We as Longhorn fans have plenty of frustration with Nebraska; some legitimate, and others not so much. From a Texas fans perspective, it was a semi-humorous opinion piece, which rang of the truth though it wasn’t exactly the most factual. So if you guys didn’t like it, I get it. But weren’t there Nebraska beat writers who wrote similar stories right after last year’s Big 12 Championship Game?

 

Although this is going to sound very similar to Blackwell’s article, as Longhorn fan I understand how you feel. We’ve both endured losses that sting horribly, and you’re not alone in Big 12 Championship pain. One of my formative memories as a Texas fan is watching Chris Simms throw all those interceptions, and seeing us come so close but fall just short. Last year may have been bad for you, but in 01, we were playing for a shot at the National Title against a team we’d beaten 41-7 that year. As Blackwell mentioned, we were dominated by Oklahoma from 2000-2004 much the same way Suh toyed with our O-line last year. So we get it, it sucks to lose…

But as for the actual game itself… It was a great performance by Suh, in fact I’d say it was the finest in Big 12 history outside of Vince Young in the 2006 Rose Bowl. But there are lot of you out there who feel that you were wronged; that somehow the refs conspired to let Texas go to the National Championship game. But, the rule is; the clock doesn't stop until the ball actually touches the ground or an object i.e.; player, coach, mascot, cheerleader, camera man, fan, field crew or anything else that is located "out of bounds". So with one second left, that ball hit a railing. Therefore, the clock stops with one second left; the correct call, and we win the game fair and square.

 

Before you all go off on me, let me give you a short history lesson. January 1st, 1994 (the year I was born), undefeated Nebraska faces 1-loss Florida State at the Orange Bowl for the national title (because Notre Dame lost to Boston College). After the Seminoles took a late 18-16 lead, an excessive celebration penalty gave ya’ll the ball on the 43 yard line. As time ran down, Tommie Frazier hit tight end Trumaine Bell for a 29 yard gain to the FSU 28 yard line. The clock ticked down to 0:00, bringing the Seminoles onto the field much in the same way ya’ll did last year. However, the referee arbitrarily decided to put one second back on the clock (this was before instant replay), and you got a chance to kick the game-winning field goal. Of course Byron Bennett pushed the 45 yarder wide left, and Florida State won 18-16. But before you start griping about a legitimate call backed up by review last year; please take a moment to remember when an arbitrary second nearly won you a national championship.

 

The other thing that I can’t understand necessarily is why you all feel that you somehow deserved to win that football game because you were so much better than us. You weren’t. There were two evenly matched teams out there, and ya’ll caught a couple of breaks. Only one of McCoy’s interceptions was actually a bad pass, the other two were batted or lost by a Texas player. Early in the 4th quarter, McCoy hit a wide open James Kirkendoll in the hands and he dropped it. If he catches that football, it’s a 17-9 game, and the way your offense was playing, it’s game over. Later in the game, McCoy’s well on his way to leading a 99 yard touchdown drive, when Dan Buckner has the ball wrestled out of his hands; an interception which by the way set up your go ahead field goal. SO my point is, that we both had an equal claim to winning that game, and a lot went your way…

 

But the 2009 Big 12 Championship is all old history by now… While I said that I forgive Nebraska fans for most of what you’ve said, the two things I cannot stand by and watch are the sullying of Mack Brown, and this insane idea that Texas was just whining in 08. Anyone who knows Mack Brown would tell you right away that, as Mike Blackwell put it; “Mack Brown would’ve been the first one to cross the field and shake your coach’s hand. He would’ve been gracious in defeat, as always.” If you don’t believe it, let me just point out a couple of examples. Despite the way Oklahoma destroyed him in the first half of this decade, Mack was always the first to shake Bob Stoops’ hands, and despite the calls of “Coach February,” and the like, has rarely if ever had anything except praise for his opponents. Case in point, as this entire drama was unfolding, all Mack had to say was about how much he admired Tom Osborne…

 

As for 2008, it wasn’t just that we weren’t in the national title game; it’s that the way it was decided had nothing to do with on field results. We beat both teams in the Big 12 championship game by double digits; Missouri by 21, and OU by 10… If there was a championship, then why didn’t it feature the two best teams in the conference? I’m sure you all would feel the same way if you, Missouri, and Iowa State all finished in a 3 way tie this year, and Missouri advanced to the title game to face Texas A&M after you beat Missouri by 11 and A&M by 23.

 

By the way, Tim Bond; why don’t you just admit to the world that you are an Oklahoma fan… The way you spoke in that little rebuttal of yours proved it. Let me put it this way, you and Little Game Bob up in Norman lost to us on the field, and in the end that should have trumped all. Of course those Gators proved that your flash and flair was all bogus, and that we should have been in that game. Talk to me again when Bobby wins a BCS bowl will ya’.

 

But back to the point at hand; the allegations that some Longhorns fans have made; that ya’ll were afraid of Texas and OU so you ran to the Big 10. That’s completely not true, ya’ll saw the opportunity to do what was best for your program; the same thing that we did. I have no doubt that ya’ll will do fine up there. I predict you’ll win at least 3 Big 10 championships in the next 10 years, and outside of Ohio State, will be the class of the Big 10.

 

And when October 16th 2010 rolls around, as a Texas fan, I’m going to be pumped up. Not because of some perceived injustice, but because I will be allowed to see a fabulous college football game. My head says that we’ve just stolen victory from the jaws of defeat too many times and that Nebraska wins something like 21-17. My heart has faith in Mack and Greg Davis, and says that Texas will win 24-17. But regardless of who wins the football game, we are the two best teams in the conference, and will most likely meet again in the Conference Championship game (the final one), and one of us may play for the national title as well. But I do know that if we win, ya’ll will stand up and cheer for us as we leave the stadium (is it too early for Garret Gilbert for Heisman?).

 

And so because this is getting a tad long-winded, I offer a statement we both can believe in; Beat OU!!!!

Saying we basically got lucky with the interceptions is stretching the truth a little. First pass batted in the air and picked off. Dlineman are taught from day 1 to get their hands up on passing plays so thats technique. The pass that picked by Prince not only was a bad pass, but a stupid pass as well. A veteran quarterback should know not to try and force the ball like that, credit the defense. The play by gomes was all athletic ability and desire to get the ball. Not a bad pass or a fluke play at all.

Official time is kept on the field and not the scoreclock. In the Huskers game versus FSU the referee's added 1 second because they kept the official time on the field and they showed 1 second remained. In last year's ccg game not once did a ref state "put one second on the clock". Their official time showed zero's.

Mack Brown is not a "classy" coach. Remember 2008* ?

 

Also, lol at you giving us a "history" lesson because you watched the 1994 OB on ESPN classic, where's it's heavily edited to remove controversial plays and angles. NU got screwed in that game to give Bowden his title.

 

Finally, bleacher report is about as reliable as TMZ or the National Enquirer, which is where your "letter" belongs.
