PrintBCS National Championship Game
![]()
Texas Longhorns (13-0) vs. Alabama Crimson Tide (13-0)
1/7/10 at 8:00 PM EST
Pasadena, California
Initial Thoughts: This is sure going to beat watching the Nets lose by an average of 26 points each of the last two nights.
Most Awesome Player: Hard not to give it to the reigning Heisman winner, but as Mel Kiper and everyone else has been saying, there's too much star power to give it to any one player in particular. Though it does seem as if the best pro prospect in the entire game is Gerald McCoy, Texas DT (32 tackles, 6 sacks).
Most Awesome Sponsor: Let's just give it to Citi again because I can't find any other sponsors on that website.
The Line: Alabama -4
Over/Under: 46
ESPN says: Alabama 27, Texas 20
Who you should be rooting for: I can't choose - is there any way both teams can lose? Like a 0-0 tie? But then we'd have Gary Danielson slobbering all over the game saying, "What an epic game! Look at these great defenses!" You know, in contrast to people piling on over TCU/Boise State because they couldn't score. There's no right answer here. Do what your heart tells you.

I hate Bama and Nick Saban and the SEC,
But I hate Mack Brown and texas much more. So I suppose if one team has to win, I’d rather have it be Bama. Does that even qualify as a rooting interest?
I've been Honked...
Yes, yes it does.
“Yea, Alabama! Drown ‘em Tide!
Every ’Bama man’s behind you,
Hit your stride.
Go teach Mack Brown to behave,
Send the ‘Horns to a watery grave.
And if a Cody starts to weaken,
That’s a shame!”

I don’t hate Alabama. They’re the Evil Empire, but there’s no smiling, preening face to their unstoppable juggernaut. No Tebow, no Mack Brown, nothing. Just Nick Saban’s endless and thinly veiled malignance. I respect them for their commitment to efficiency. They have no time to waste on impressing people. They are the MODOK of college football.

Note: Gilbert, the Texas backup QB...his dad went to Cal
Gale Gilbert was the QB for the famous 1982 Big Game.
Email: bearsnecessities@gmail.com
God, Gale Gilbert used to drive me crazy. He would never take a 5-yard sack if he could run back 20-30 yards and get sacked there, instead. He did it game, after game, after game. It was kind of his trademark.

Actually, he went to five Superbowls. I forgot about the Chargers.
Gilbert is the only player in NFL history to be a member of five straight Super Bowl teams. Gilbert was a member of the Bills who played in four straight Super Bowls (XXV through XXVIII) and of the Chargers who played in Super Bowl XXIX. Gilbert was on the losing team in all five Super Bowl games.

You know what's sad?
I was watching Alabama celebrating their National Championship victory – and of course I was trying to imagine Cal down on that field, celebrating the same thing. And you know what? I couldn’t do it. Even in my imagination, I can’t see Cal winning a title. It just seems so far away, I can’t even pretend it could happen. A Rose Bowl… maaaaybe. Maybe one day. But I can’t see it happening soon. And that… that just makes me really sad.
