'09 season ncaa football thread

I'm sure there were others that were crying after that loss. They aren't Tim Tebow. Therefore, according to the media, they mean nothing. If Tebow wasn't made into a "god" by the media, people wouldn't be on him as much. They act like he's the greatest football player to ever walk the earth. They act like he's the only Christian in sports. They act like he's the only person with morals. They act like he's the only person that's ever done mission work. Good for him, but he's not the only player in college football that's done so. But he's "superman". He's a "warrior". He's the greatest leader in college football history. Whatever. If the media wasn't lickin his balls for the past 3 years, he woudln't be bashed as bad. But guess what...they did, so he's getting bashed. If that hurts his feelings or your feelings, that sucks. It's all part of being in the national spotlight. It's all part of being the most talked about sports player perhaps of all time. Here's a tissue, go ahead and suck it up and get over it.

 

Yeah what Dwalden says!!

 

i think the bcs pussied out on the tcu boise match up throw them to the wolves if the think they are that good let tcu play florida and boise play cincy or iowa or and other combo its crap

 

I think UT will find the Tide a lot tougher than anything they faced in their schedule. Hopefully they'll be singing Rammer Jammer in Pasadena.

 

I have to agree with Benca1 100%. Tebow is one hell of an athelete and off the field is an amazing person. The reason the media is all over Tebow is because I have never seen anyone play with as much emotion as him in any sport. He gets his team fired up. I dont remember the game, but when he got bloodied up, how many QB's would have bowed out at that point? He isnt your typical QB which is also why they like him. I know if I was in his shoes I would have cried too. Most players on everyones favorite teams would have cried too. I understand everyone hates him because of the media, but I hear just as much about McCoy going on mission trips and at the beggining of the year I heard as much if not more about Bradford. I am not on the bandwagon because I usually go for the underdog, but I like him because of his emotion and what he does off the field. I also like McCoy because he is conservative and what he does off the field. I have cried after we lost the championship in high school and after we won the championship. I think Tebow having that much emotion is great for the sport because I would rather have players like him crying after a loss than players that only care about getting paid.

 

2005: Texas came in #2

Now: Texas is #2

2005: Texas was the Underdog

Now: Texas is the underdog

2005: People said Texas has not played anyone all year

Now: People say Texas has not played anyone all year

2005: The Crystal Football was taken back to Austin, TX

Now: ....This is why we play the games!

Oh yea almost forgot...
GO HORNS!!

 

Also forgot...fuck OU!

 

Clemson lost to MARYLAND (2-10), maybe if Spiller had gone to a legit team he'd be a lock for the heisman. But you can't go 1-3 against top 25 teams and claim you have the best player.

 

I certainly think we'll be the toughest team they've faced... and they'll be at minimum the second toughest we've faced. It's going to be a fantastic game.

I fully agree with your hope, too.

I'm not saying it'll happen, but on Saturday you might be able to add something to your list:

2005: UT had a heisman hopeful who lost out to one who played for their NC opponent

Now: Ingram beat out McCoy for the bronze trophy
​

In 2005 y'all "shouldn't" have won, but did. This year things will be as they should... ROLL TIDE!

Spiller should have been there.

 

Did you read my post correctly? I said he should be there.

I absolutely agree. I'm willing to bet he comes in no better than 3rd (behind McCoy and Ingram, in whatever order) in the voting. Probably even behind the kid from Stanford... but he's Tebow, so he goes to NY.

 

Oh... no worries. I didn't even see that post. Damn page breaks.

 

The heisman is a meaningless reward. I guess it makes who ever wins it feel better but as fans we know it hasnt been won by anyone who really deserved it in years.
If colt wins it fine. If he dosent who cares. It used to be for the best player in NCAA football but now it is a popularity vote. The most popular player on the highest profile team. Stop getting so worked up over it.

crystal balls > bronze statues
ask VY he will tell you the same thing.
Ask reggie bush and matt lineart see what they have to say.

 

Absolutely agree with this statement. Still... I'd like it for Mark, and it'd be nice to have one at Alabama so we could get that monkey off our back.

Given the choice, though, any sane person would rather bring home the NC.

 

I agree with you 100% on this. They say one of the things they look at is how important the player is to their team, and I dont think there is more important players than Spiller and Gerhart. And you cant say Texas didnt deserve to win in 05. If they didnt deserve to win they wouldnt have. USC knew going in that Young was going to try to take over the game and he sure did.
