Official BCS National Championship Thread - (1) Alabama vs. (2) Texas

[Holmes_Fans]

Luckily for the horns, Christian Scott is suited up and ready to crack some skulls

Woah what? I thought he was out entire season?

[Ballcox]

Nope, C. Scott is practicing with the team (as he has been all season) and will be playing in the champ. game. I also heard that WR B. Collins is now cleared, but since we're well stocked at WR he'll have to wait until next season.

Also, word is that DJ Monroe is all cleared to play and Mack has re-instated him on the team. Felt that missing 3 games was enough punishment.

And I'm a homer for the Horns, no doubt. BUT, I just don't see us matching up with Bama for 4 quarters. I hope to God I'm wrong, but it's just a gut feeling. I imagine we'll be picking Major's brain for ideas on how to defend Bama since he was OC there. I would also think we'd be placing a least one call to Chizik at Auburn and get some ideas from him on how to slow down the Bama attack.

The last part to this is what I hate the most, but if I'm going to be objective:

Bama- 27
UT-17

Again, I hope and pray that we win this game, I'll be loaded on Xanex, whiskey and weed just to calm the nerves watching this game. I'll probably be standing out in the backyard like I was for the '05 game, watching the game through the living room window. Hook'em!

Did I hear something about xanax? Bring some to Shh-Boom Shh-Booms around 8:30 tonight.

[Kermit]

I would rather have Collins in there than any reciever not named Shipley.

Kenny Powers! Can I have your autograph brah?

As I said earlier...

Reports: DWI dropped for UT's Monroe

Texas kick returner D. J. Monroe can rejoin the team before the BCS le game against Alabama after charges for driving while intoxicated were dropped in exchange for a plea agreement, the Austin American-Statesman reported.
Monroe pleaded guilty to a charge of obstruction of a passageway Friday and received deferred adjudication, local reports said.
Texas coach Mack Brown planned to talk to Monroe and his family next week about his plans for the freshman when Brown returns from a recruiting trip, the American-Statesman reported, citing an athletic department spokesman.
"He's extremely happy," Monroe's lawyer, Brian Roark, said, according to the Austin newspaper. "He is hoping to play in the national championship game and continue his career at Texas."
Monroe was suspended indefinitely after being arrested on a drunken driving charge in November, hours after a win against Baylor.
Before missing three games, Monroe set a Texas record with two kickoff returns for touchdowns this season for the Longhorns. He also had 110 yards on 20 carries at tailback.
The second-ranked Longhorns will play the No. 1 Crimson Tide on Jan. 7 in the Citi BCS National Championship Game.
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

^sorry about that, forgot it was already posted. But, having DJ back there does give us a very explosive element in the return game. Looking forward to having him back there, maybe also some limited snaps on the offensive side of the ball?

Monroe was fantastic in the backfield, and having him returning kicks again arguably gives us the best kick returner in the championship game.

what results on the field?

Alabama played a much tougher schedule and has more quality wins. Further, through that they've been more consistent.

I'm not saying bama hasn't had their struggles, just like t.u. did.
