Big XII and ACC Championship Game Open Thread

Decided to start a new open thread for tonight's title game especially since this game has a direct impact on whether TCU can make it to the title game. Since both are on the same time the ACCCG is on ESPN 360, so if both are close then crack open the lap top.

Big 12 Championship: Nebraska v. Texas (ABC, 8pm)

ACC Championship: Georgia Tech v. Clemson (ESPN, 8pm)

At least if Cinci does pass TCU

We aren’t calling for the BCS’ head.

Nebraska's kickoff kicker blew the game.

TCU would blow them out of the water

I usually try to stay diplomatic in all of my SBnation posts, but…

TCU is so much better than Texas it causes me physical pain. The fact that ’bama is going to get to roll over the Orange for an undisputed national title while TCU slogs it out against Georgia Tech or Penn State is disgusting.

by HawkeyedFrog on Dec 5, 2009 8:37 PM PST reply actions  

Agreed

TCU blew out EVERYONE except Clemson and Air Force (in a bad weather game). Texas struggled in their last two games with A&M being only 6-6

by Jeremy Mauss on Dec 5, 2009 8:39 PM PST up reply actions  

Even though TCU deserves to be there

At least Alabama Texas should be a decent game which is more than I can say for any of the other recent NCG match-ups.

hope so

If Alabama is any good on defense as Nebraska game could be low scoring and boring.

by Jeremy Mauss on Dec 5, 2009 8:45 PM PST up reply actions  

Just hope

That TCU does not go to Fiesta to play Penn State or Iowa

by Jeremy Mauss on Dec 5, 2009 8:41 PM PST reply actions  

TCU beating Tim Tebow and the #1 team all season would be almost as good as the NCG

Then they will use the same exact excuse alabama did last year.

Exactly wha Utah did

They beat Bama who was number one for most of the year.

by Jeremy Mauss on Dec 5, 2009 8:46 PM PST up reply actions  

2010

TCU returns the majority of their offense next year and should start of in the top 10 if voters wise up.

by Jeremy Mauss on Dec 5, 2009 8:47 PM PST up reply actions  

Defense is their strength tho

If TCU rolls Florida worse than Alabama did, then yeah, we can talk forever, but it doesn’t change the fact that not a damn thing will happen. We need to bring back the thirty polls who seemingly randomly awarded national championships, at least one of them would probably give it to TCU.

Damn I’m feeling bitter.

by HawkeyedFrog on Dec 5, 2009 8:47 PM PST up reply actions  

That'll still be a hard game to win.

Florida is completely unimaginative, but they have a lot of talent. TCU will have to play as sharp as Alabama did.

by Hooper on Dec 5, 2009 8:47 PM PST up reply actions  

2nd to last play

Had McCoy completed a pass on that play then there would have been no time left for the FG.

by Jeremy Mauss on Dec 5, 2009 8:49 PM PST reply actions  

I made one comment over at Burnt Orange Nation

and got creamed by saying TCU is as good as Texas and ’Bama but we will not know. crazy

by Jeremy Mauss on Dec 5, 2009 9:17 PM PST reply actions  

One of the orangebloods said “You have to look at the whole season, not one game”
Hm… I think that’s the exact opposite of what they said last year, no?

by HawkeyedFrog on Dec 5, 2009 9:42 PM PST up reply actions  

agreed

Texas was going off on the Oklahoma win as validation. They may have been right but that was not the outcome. I mentioned how the Clemson and Air Force wins were similar to the Texas Tech and Texas A&M wins were pretty similar overall and got thrashed.

Jasper Howard had his little sisters' names tatooed on his chest. His friends say it was a constant reminder of why he was at U Conn _ to provide his family with a better life than the one he had in Miami's Little Haiti. (AP Photo/Mel Evans, File) link
