PASADENA, Calif. -- Neither Alabama or Texas has taken the field, but that should be starting in a few minutes.
The biggest ovation of the night took place a couple of minutes ago when a replay of Vince Young's game-winning touchdown run in the 2006 title game was flashed on the scoreboard.
Young's TD run got a much larger response than my colleague Ivan Maisel's very fine analysis of the play that took place immediately after Young's replay.
The Longhorn fans appear ready for the game.
