National Championship prediction

[TCSN]

I'm being a realist here when I say Texas had a dissapointing season. All they did this year was look forward to Oklahoma & beating them & pretty much controlling their own fate to be in the title game & yet again they fell short.

This Texas team while it can still make the title game, I honestly don't see it & even if they do I'm sure they'll lose as they'll just choke yet again as EVERY time it is a big game for them they fall flat on their face.

They are like the basketball player with "potential". Every year it is supposed to be their breakout year but in the end all they have is "potential".

Until Texas proves they can win the real title game & not the recruiting one, all they'll be is a team with "potential"

As far as how a bunch of other D-1 teams suck, yes they do BUT the big difference here is out of all those teams who was one of the leading contenders to win it all, most of the teams that suck weren't.

Plus their last two games big deal they beat the same Kansas State team that always beats up on cupcakes & falls to tougher competition & they beat an average Nebraska team.

BBC,

every single team must suck. 'Oh they beat xyz, but who has xyz beat except for ypq, but who has ypq beat except for ppl, but ppl lost to juy so what does that mean '? Jeez..

thanks for clearing that up:shrug:

Atleast my team didn't choke in yet another big game & blow their shot at the title when they were one of the favorites to win it this year.

I believe your team choked at home against Miami as a favorite to win that game. You guys also lost to a pathetic Ole Miss team as 2 TD favorites. Yeah, we lost to the current #1 team in America and are still in position to sneak into the national championship picture yet our season is already being labeled as "disappointing". So, hypothetically speaking, even if we win out and make it into the NC game, our season would still be disappointing right?

You guys are right though, we as Texas fans shouldn't root for our school to win. We suck now and we will always suck, we'll never win a big game. Your team is the best and ours isn't. You happy now? I'm done with this thread.

that KState team beat up on a USC team in LA remember.....KState is a good team this year.....UT winning there was very impressive......

Good point about Solich monk......Nebraska fans have him dangling by a thin thread......both he AND Mack suck....Texas has far superior talent to Nebraska......

Texas is a good team......they won ON THE ROAD against Nebraska and KState.....both those teams wasted Pac 10 top tier teams......saying that the Pac 10 is a top conference after two of its top 3 teams go wasted by a big12 mediocre team and a big12 3-4 best team is laughable....yeah your bottom is better than ours but i think the MAC conference has better bottom feeders than Baylor and Kansas.....

UT fans hype their team too much and much of it centers around the OU game.....but recently they have been shut up for a while.....but i think UT might just be the 2nd best team in the nation (looking at the way Miami has played recently).....if they aren't they are definitely the 3rd......

I am sorry to see you're done with this thread, especially considering you say assinine things like I am blowing Bob Stoops and riding OU's nut sack. It seems you can dish it out, but you can't take it Felonious.

There is a huge difference between rooting for your team to win and posting statements like Texas is the best team in the world and attacking anyone on this board that says anything bad about Texas. Yes I am a CU fan, but have I ever talked about Colorado and hyped them up? NO. I am objective about my team, and I root for them to win, but I sure as hell don't slam other people that don't like Colorado or think they're overrated or whatever.

It isn't just me, Felonious... you bash ANYONE on here for saying ANYTHING bad about Texas. You can write up all sorts of bad things about Colorado and I won't care a bit. Of course, you're not joing to see me peddling Colorado on a street corner like you constantly do the Longhorns

Texas has one of the best and fastest defenses in all of college football. Texas has very good receivers and an above-average quarterback. Texas simply has a coach that coaches not to lose in a big game. That's Texas' biggest problem. As long as Mack coaches that way, you guys are never going to win anything.

You are simply a typical (and I apologize to all Texas fans that are not of this stereotype) Texas Homer that is part of that constant HYPE MACHINE that needs to only be operational when Texas WINS ITS OWN CONFERENCE. Win your own conference ONCE, JUST ONCE, and THEN turn on the hype machine. Win a National Championship ONCE in the last 20 years and THEN turn on the hype machine....

Ok you are a homer & that is quite obvious but get real. Who the **** would care if Texas made it to the title game, winning the title is what it is all about & they WILL NOT WIN IT PERIOD!

They choke in every big game & barely beating cupcake fiesting K-State & barely beating an overrated mediocre Nebraska is not a season made.

You keep taking shots at the Gators but it is quite obvious your arguements have no substance as once again. Here is a little Q&A that you'll admit too when you take the homer glasses off:

Who was the heavier favorite to win the BCS Title this year?

A: Texas

B: Florida

Answer: Texas

Who when it is all said & done will have a more dissapointing season:

A: Texas

B: Florida

Answer: Texas, they were a heavy favorite to WIN the BCS Title not just get there.

Which team was looking forward to the one game to prove probably the biggest point in CFB & choked YET AGAIN?

A: Texas

B: Florida

Answer: Texas


Get freaking real, now you're bragging your team still has a realistic shot to make it to the title game which mathematically they do but big ****ing deal, it is about winning the game not just showing up.

You showed your true homer colors so get off it already..

Dr Freeze you need to get real as well as I remember alot of the crap you were talking about the Big 12 last season & they were bitchsmacked on two big bowl stages including the biggest of them all.

 

[Ronnie]

Oklahoma vs. Miami and Oklahoma will win it again!

 

[dr. freeze]

yeah and we had Solich and Barnett coaching in those games.....big 12 coaching leaves a lot to be desired.....i don't think i ahve been light on that point....RC, Mack, Solich, and Barnett all leave a lot to be desired as far as game planning and adjusting.....put OU and Stoops up against anyone and we will see what happens.....

but to insinuate that Flordia is a less disappointment than Texas?

that is ridiculous....and KState absolutely drilled USC at USC this year so i don't think they only beat cupcakes.....score there was not indicative of how KState dominated......

you are a homer if there is anyone such a homer on here

 

[TCSN]

Who had higher expectations this year:

Texas or Florida

You Big 12 homers know damn well it was Texas & they'll be luck to get to the title game where they'll just lose anyhow so what is your point.

Get a clue.

I give Oklahoma credit for what they have done since Stoops arrived but Texas does not deserve that same respect & neither does Nebraska.

 

[BobbyBlueChip]

So, by that logic, Would TCU be considered better than Florida, because their expectations were so much lower than the Florida faithful?

Wait you are the same person who is proud Texas won in two tough venues against a bunch of overrated teams.

 

[BobbyBlueChip]

So keep avoiding the questions

And aren't you the same person that said Florida would lose nothing with Zook and that they would win the National Championship last year? And then you call someone else a homer.

I may be wrong, you've have had alot of screennames and I don't have my scorecard with me right now.

 

[Felonious Monk]

OK Avalanche, you're now starting to display your comical level of ignorance with your selective memory. Here's something I challenge you to do. No, in fact, I absolutely encourage you to do this. Do a search under my name for all of the posts I have ever posted in this forum, or any for that matter, that shows me,

a) hyping up Texas and saying they're better than everyone else

b) attacking or bashing anyone on here who has something bad to say about Texas

I am without a doubt one of the most critical Texas fans you will find on this board and will always be the first to say that Texas has some glaring problems right now. I'm not an ignorant fan that doesn't recognize the flaws when it comes to the analysis of my team. Yeah we've choked in some big games and there has certainly been some questionable coaching moves in past years (taking the knee before half for example) but I've admitted that. What more should I do, bitch and complain everyday? I'm also one of the few rival fans who will admit that Bob Stoops is one of, if not, the best coaches in football. We hate him because he has kicked our asses for the past 3 years and outperformed our coaches every time. The truth however is that we would not mind one bit if he was our coach. He has balls, confidence and instills the same resolve to his players.

I don't mind anyone criticizing Texas as long as it is fair and well thought out. Guys like Avalanche and TCSN are perfect examples of someone with a personal bias against Texas and go out of their way to rip, whether justified or not. No credibility at all as far as I'm concerned.

Jeez Felonious you and Chissy Simms need to start taking turns riding Bob Stoops nut sack with such high praise for Oklahoma. I'm sure Chrissy will let you have your turn... maybe we need to get you some burnt orange kneepads?

I am NOT going to go through your thousands of posts to ascertain my predispositioned belief that you are a Texas Homer. It is a fact. You know it and EVERYONE ELSE KNOWS IT TOO. Anyone who has been on this board for more than a week can tell you're a Texas Homer.

As far as your "Guys like Avalance and TSCN..." comment - I don't go out of my way to rip Texas.... I think they're one of the top 5 teams in the country... In my first response in this thread, I said Texas had a great bounce back from the OU loss in winning at KSU. That was a very impressive win. In this thread someone was saying Texas is going to win the National Championship and it just amazes me that you all can get your ASSES HANDED TO YOU IN A NICE LITTLE PACKAGE EVERY OCTOBER BY OKLAHOMA and people like you and others will say Texas is going to win the NC or play in the game even.

I think where you are right is that I DO go out of my way to rip people like you who get all over people's cases for saying Texas is overrated. I think Texas has all talent and no heart. All talent and no coaching.

You say I have no credibility when I point out true statistics like OU has outscored Texas 112-41 in 3 years and that Mack Brown has never won his own conference and makes incredibily ignorant moves to start an unproven QB Simms over the defending Big XII Offensive Player of the Year in Major Applewhite and then turn around and benches Simms in favor of Applewhite for the bowl game when Simms will clearly be the QB in 2002 and needs the confidence. In the press conference after the Oklahoma loss, a reporter asked Chrissy why it was that he didn't play well in big games, and Mack Brown doesn't even let the poor kid answer the question and points out that Chrissy and the Horns did beat a Top 10 team (my Buffaloes) in Austin back earlier in the season in 2001 and says that was a big game. Seems pretty stupid to talk about a game against Colorado in Austin in midseason when Colorado destroys Texas in the Big XII Title Game with Simms at the controls. If you all had any brains down there in Austin you would have never started Simms over Applewhite and who knows you all would have maybe been riding a 30 game winning streak like Miami is right now.

MY POINT IS THIS - TEXAS FANS ARE ALL ABOUT EXCUSE MAKING. You are no different, Felonious. AGAIN - WIN YOUR OWN CONFERENCE and then start the HYPE MACHINE. Let that sink in.

PS So I take it you're not done with this thread after all?????

Umm last I check Zook wasn't the coach last year. I only have a new name because my original one was banned.

It still doesn't change the fact that some of you big 12 homers are ridiculous.

 

[BobbyBlueChip]

Umm last I check Zook wasn't the coach last year.

Hence the use of the word and

. . . maybe this will be easier


Aren't you the same person that said

(a.)Florida would lose nothing with Zook

and

(b.) that they would win the National Championship last year?

Reading and hypocrisy are both skills, and you seem to have mastered one of them

 

[TCSN]

Are you sad because your Irish were exposed as frauds?

I love these threads, a way to talk trash with people knowing we don't hate each other.

Atleast I think we don't hate each other. I don't hate any of you guys.

 

[thekidwhocould]

i hate notre dame, absolutely hate them. but if they played florida, they would blow them out. i'd probably switch channels at half
