Thoughts on the BCS Title Game

Wow, what a game.

First of all, congrats to the University of Alabama on a well-played game. They’re deserving of their first national title in 18 years. Really, how can you not be bitter when you have the likes of Mark Ingram on that team and all that he’s been through in his young life? And there are many Texans who are proud of Southlake Carroll product Greg McElroy.

Second, I’m proud of my Longhorns. They could have packed it in after Colt was injured early in the game. And Gilbert was definitely shaky early on. But man, to have a freshman at quarterback – on the biggest stage in college football – lead the team to within three points of the SEC champions is just phenomenal. I think the team is going to be in good hands now that Colt’s moving on. That’s a testament to the recruiting they do in Austin.

And yeah, OU fans, I feel your pain now.

Congrats, again, to Alabama. And I think good things are in store for Texas for years to come.

I really did.

I thought about hacking up this template.

I thought about changing the gradient background image from blue to burnt orange

I thought about changing the mandala logo to burnt orange too.

Or splashing it with roses.

But…nah.

After all, what could one blog’s template say about a game that is quite possibly *the* college football matchup of the century (a century that’s only 5 years old, or will be on January 4, 2006)?

This is truly The Grandaddy of Them All. Two teams, ranked 1 and 2 for the entire season, will meet to settle, once and for all, who truly is the best.

Indeed, this is the most wonderful time of the year.
