Alabama vs. Texas National Championship Game

[O'Bladerunner]

With the score 24-21 ......if Bama's backup defensive end does not cause the Texas freshmen quarterback to fumble, the game could have gone either way......The freshmen, Gilbert, and Shipley was killing Bama and headed down the field for the final score. Bama had no answer for Shipley in the second half.....If Anders does not cause the fumble, we could be talking about a Texas victory by a Freshmen quarterback sensation.......Thank you for sharing......[/qipte]

PS: Mack Brown was quoted as saying, ""I really hate the fumble there at the end because it made the game look a little more out of hand than it was," Brown said. "I actually thought when we got the ball back that he was going to take us down and win because that's what our team has done so many times."

:retard:

There ARE UT teams that have done it many times. But, ALL times were done without a freshman QB getting his first (VERY) important minutes of the whole season.

Man, just STOP...:lol:

So, are you, NOW, comparing a freshman having to come in the 2nd series of the Championship game...to Tebow, when he was a freshman, that came in in the 4th quarter with a 20pt lead?!

Just tell me you're not trying to compare the two. I won't laugh. I promise.

When all else fails: divert.

Can't tell, huh?.......

No need to compare.......Blade, you said no freshmen qb could win in championship game......I am saying Tebow could............You skip the comments from Mack Brown......who stated his thoughts about the fumble by the freshmen quarterback......You do know Mack Brown was the coach.....:noidea:

I will :lol:

Tim Tebow got significant run in every game his freshman year. Garrett Gilbert only played in mop up duty during blowouts against the sisters of the poor. They can slice it and dice it how ever they want, but it is rare that a true freshman quarterback will be mentally ready to play in the national championship game if he never played in a big-time college game during the regular season.

".........Stop the comparison........I am saying Tebow could.......Blade said ....."No Freshmen Quarterback".........

Mack Brown, the Head Coach of Texas made some strong comments about that fumble with Bama up 24-21........You do know Mack Brown is the Head Coach....:noidea:

Mack Brown comments don't prove YOUR point or refute mine. It matters not what Mack Brown says...nothing could've been said to a true freshman QB that's gonna get him ready "for the next series", which was the 2nd series of THE championship game.

Blade, stick to your comment....."No Freshmen Quarterback".........Stop the comparison........I am saying Tebow could.......You said ....."No Freshmen Quarterback".........

So, now we're about word games and semantics, huh?...:retard:

Not only that...you need to back and re-read what I typed. Cuz, first off...I never typed "No Freshman Quarterback". What I typed was...

NO TEAM in AMERICA can afford to lose their starting QB in a Championship Game. Esp, with a Freshman backup.

At any rate... the example you set STILL doesn't refute what I said. Partly, because when Tebow was a freshman he DID NOT start. He only came in at either garbage time or short-yardage/goal-line situations. He didn't start the whole season or championship game. Leak did that.


Still :lol: @ you trying to prove your point with Tebow being giving a 20pt lead in the 4thQrt. Bruh, I can get any HS QB from Texas off of their couch to come in, in that situation, and not fugg it up.

Mack Brown is the Coach......Read his comments.

Let me help you laugh some more....If Florida's starting quarterback had got hurt......Who was the next person in line SR. JR. Soph or Freshmen........I think the freshmen at Flordia, Tim Tebow, could have came in and won the game......

Mack Brown, the Head Coach of Texas thought his freshmen Quarterback could have done the same......

PS: So who do we believe you or Mack Brown.....:lol:

 

[mighty hornet]

MH...Ive been reading, bruh. Come on, nah...you're stretching statements a bit....:lol: I don't remember anyone posting that Bama wouldn't sell their allotment of tickets. The only reference to "home games" that I read were referring to inside AND outside of the game...and, not just what you saw on TV.

But, ey...:noidea:...what do I know?

ummm blade,
Back when this was being posted, we were not talking about fans outside the stadium. We were talking about fans AT the game. And it was said that it would be like a Texas home game,and somebody else (sup beans) said that Bama wouldn't even be able to sell their allotment. And if you watched that game and say you could see such a big difference in fans cheering for each team (to the extent that it would look like a Texas home game), then, ummmm ok. :scared:


btw,

Bama fans outnumber Longhorns in Pasadena
by Tyler Sieswerda / KVUE News

PASADENA, Calif. -- The cash is flowing in Pasadena, thanks to the Longhorns and Crimson Tide. But there is one thing that is noticeable on the sidewalks and inside the restaurants and shops.

In the words of one Longhorn fan, "there are more people from Alabama."

It's true. UT fans are in Pasadena, but there are also Alabama die-hards everywhere.

oh well

and btw, the one place where anything truly mattered was the scoreboard.

Damn, McElroy has only attempted a grand total of 9 passes. What is this 1962?

McElroy injured in SEC title game


McElroy did not look like the same quarterback who went 12-for-18 for 239 yards in the SEC championship game victory over the Gators. He completed 6-of-11 passes for 58 yards against the Longhorns and took five sacks. McElroy wore a flak jacket and an extra pad over his left ribcage for protection.

For about a week and half after Florida, I couldn't really throw at all," McElroy said. "As I came back, they started to loosen up a little bit ... It's been pretty painful, pretty consistent for the entire bowl practice."

One of McElroy's good friends, junior H-back Preston Dial, said he held his breath every time that McElroy got hit.

"It's like watching your little brother get hit," Dial said. "You're like, 'Get up! Get up! You're O.K.' He wasn't O.K. I know we've been on the couch playing Nintendo and he's coughed and he about went to his knees."

As Paul Harvey would say - Now the rest of the story -

McElroy injured in SEC title game

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/bowls09/news/story?id=4807296


PASADENA, Calif. -- Greg McElroy never had to leave the game. The Alabama junior never had to leave his team in the hands of an untested backup. But it turns out that Texas' Colt McCoy wasn't the only injured quarterback at the Rose Bowl on Thursday night.

"I cracked my ribs in the third quarter against Florida," McElroy said outside the locker room. "Two of them -- the ninth and the 10th. Left side. It's bad. I got it numbed up before the game and it was killing me at halftime."

McElroy did not look like the same quarterback who went 12-for-18 for 239 yards in the SEC championship game victory over the Gators. He completed 6-of-11 passes for 58 yards against the Longhorns and took five sacks. McElroy wore a flak jacket and an extra pad over his left ribcage for protection.
