When you're right you're right . . .

Tebow won the MVP. Harvin deserved it. We all know it.

Anyone that says Tebow is a better player than Vince Young should have his balls shaved with a cheese grater. No that you said that, but I had to vent.

This game will forever be remembered as the Jort Bowl.

Chris, Harvin was “on” all night, but UF’s offense only really started clicking once Tebow started running. That X factor really confounded OU’s LBs, who were overrated all damn year.

I don’t agree with that in the slightest. Tebow made some huge throws in the 4th, never made a killer mistake, and ran OK.

Harvin made every big play of the night. It’s that simple. No one could take a handoff and do anything except him. He is their world.

Man, she’s gonna wake up tomorrow fat, ugly, and an OU fan…tough life!

The mvp was the option shovel pass.

I am shocked. Corso still thinks USC is the best team in the nation, and Herbstreit has us 3 or 4.

I don’t care. HOOK EM GATORS.

Only thing better than mobilehoma losing is Texas winning. And we got both this week, just not in the preferred chronological sequence.

Great season Barkers. Thanks. Full focus on hoops, and 43 days to first pitch and the disch.

Hook Em Horns.

Chris,

The DEs aren’t great?

Like I told you before the game:

Texas had the best defense in the Big 12 this year… starting Blake Gideon. That guy wouldn’t even see the field in Florida’s secondary right now. And Jermaine Cunningham and Carlos Dunlap would be 2nd-team All B12 DEs already.

Carlos Dunlap is a great defensive end. Only a sophomore, first-year starter, SEC sacks leader and now MNC game defensive MVP.

That goofy 5-wide no pass rush ball of the B12 was completely exposed this bowl season. (And I spent all season defending the B12 defenses to SEC fans as just being victims of great offenses. D’oh.)

Harvin made every big play of the night. It’s that simple. No one could take a handoff and do anything except him. He is their world.

Tebow will go down as a CFB legend… but 1) his CFB career would have been a pretty different deal without Percy Harvin, and 2) Tebow was 9-4 when he didn’t have a monstrously good defense.

TD, I honestly don’t think you can underestimate the effect of league sanctioned holding in the Big 12. I noticed only one blatant hold on a pass play by OU tonight and it was called. We would have beat those clowns in Dallas by 24 with a non big 12 crew calling the game.

Texas’ DL was better across the board. No question. UF has way better LBs and safeties. I’d kill to replace Gideon with Major Harris.

You want to replace Blake Gideon with an insurance salesman from West Virginia? Well there’s mean and then there’s mean.

I didn’t think Bradford looked good at all. He’s useless under pressure.

Major Harris, now that guy is good.

CA,

As long as you kill HenryJames, I am on board.

I should have added – it’s funny when a guy going by Chris Applewhite gets Majorses confused.

Texas’ DL was better across the board. No question. UF has way better LBs and safeties. I’d kill to replace Gideon with Major Harris.

Major Harris, Major Wright, Major Applewhite… who’s counting?

Anyhoo, at least Texas fans get to laugh at their arch-rival for losing every MNC game. Trying being a Georgia fan. Ugh.

Oh, and, Sam Bradford and Graham Harrell… Matthew Stafford thanks you for making his case.

You were just made to look silly playing SEC defenses behind solid, senior laden OLs… Stafford spent his 2 main CFB seasons behind 3 (2 true) freshmen starters in both of them.

QB numbers look a little differently when you get to stand around all day before throwing.

Sam Bradford didnt play that poorly. The INT wasnt that bad a pass, and he threw a beautiful pass between two defenders that was dropped. Stafford is the second most overrated player in CFB (behind Tebow). He played very average against MSU and never led his team much. Get that SEC bullshit outta here.

Bradford was great. There was only so much he could do.

So that’s what a real secondary looks like. I wonder if the dumbass d-coordinators in the Big 12 will realize how fu#king it is to stop the spread now. Stop playing zone defense and conceding 10 yard passes. Blitz. Alot. Stop thinking you have to have 6’2" cb’s that can’t run or tackle. Teach your corners to TURN AND LOOK FOR THE BALL. Akina, I’m talking to you.

dood, I hate Bradford and all things ou, but he was not the problem. Both of his INTs came AFTER the ball hit his recievers. The 2nd one actually hit the guy right in his hands.
I would say the offensive game plan was the culprit. BTW, we doubled up UF’s score.

And before you say, “ya but they put up 35 on you,” plz remember that 1 TD came on an illegal forward pass (uncalled, yet so blatant sportscenter even highlighted it the next day), another came when the reciever didn’t cross the goal line on 3rd down, and of course there was more illegal holding than a chinese prison.

In any case, all your “esss eee seee speeeeeed” is proven bullshit because Utah stomped a mudhole in Bama. Who stomped a mudhole in your team.

Bradford was great. There was only so much he could do.

Great?

He was 63.4/256/2/2.

That’s not horrible. Certainly not great either.

And that’s the point. Those goofy stats he put up all year were largely skewed by playing in a conference with weaker defenses (especially at DL) and where teams on average run a lot more plays/game because they pass more often.

Ummm… The ball was thrown high and wide because Bradford was under pressure. So Ahmad Black was able to pick it.

I think Gideon would start at Florida…..3 sophomores and 1 true freshmen. Give those guys time they are only sophomores and Freshmen. They are going to be really good.

I thought Bradford was pretty clearly the better QB out there. Tebows two picks were Gideon-could-have-caught-them terrible. Bradford’s two were a little more flukey.

Start now… or start in 2-3 years? Please tell me you mean the latter.

Major Wright is already a great safety as a true sophomore. He’ll be one of the best in the country next year and a likely 2010 first round draft pick after leaving school early.

Ahmad Black, another true sophomore, had 6 interceptions this year. Only 6 players had more (none more than 7).

I thought Bradford was pretty clearly the better QB out there. Tebows two picks were Gideon-could-have-caught-them terrible. Bradford’s two were a little more flukey.

As a true passer, Bradford is obviously better. But Bradford isn’t able to go pound for 4-5 yards play after play when needed. That is a killer weapon in CFB.

TX—DAWG, I’m being sarcastic. He doesn’t possess the athletic ability now or will he ever have the ability to do what that secondary did last night. Run, hit, tackle, and pick passes. That’s the reality of it. We have some great athletes back there. It’s time to go with the best four.

TX–DAWG, I’m being sarcastic.

Ah. Duly noted.

Not sure how you can put either of those picks on Bradford. The first was just beautiful, sweet dumb luck. The second was placed right on the money, the OU WR just didnt fight hard enough for the ball

Huh? Joe Haden forced the slant short of the goalline and then got a hand in to break up the pass. Bradford tried to force it and got burned.

The second was placed right on the money, the OU WR just didnt fight hard enough for the ball

“Right on the money” never involves hitting the tips of the outstretched hands of a diving, well-covered receiver. Balls thrown high and wide (due to throwing under pressure) often do.

Bradford wasn’t awful last night. But Matthew Stafford had a good night, draft-wise.

If Cosby plays longer in Lubbock then I do in the sack with the Mrs. @ my age, we win against TT and play Florida.
