Roll Tide

So Alabama managed to win the BCS National Championship by playing really conservative football. Obviously, the injury to Colt McCoy will forever cast doubt onto this game, because the best player on the field wasn't able to play beyond the second series of the game. Just a few of my thoughts after the game:

- Terrence Cody is the new Gilbert Brown, and I love him.

- I still have faith in Colt McCoy at the pro level. He can make every throw, can move, doesn't have a weird release and just wins.

- Loved the spin move from the big man, Marcell Dareus, on his pick 6. Any time you see a fat man score, your heart should be happy.

- Nick Saban: Great coach. Smile more. And that last touchdown was classless. Just kneel and win.

- The post-game interview of Colt McCoy was just mean. You know how he is feeling, there is no point to interviewing him. Interview the coach, sure. But the best player on the field, who is heartbroken because he didn't get to lead his team to a victory in the biggest game of his life? Shame on you, ABC.

- Kirk Herbstreet owes the Texas Longhorns offensive line an apology. They get the ball back, down 3 with 3 minutes left. Kirk says that the line, which allowed 9 sacks against Nebraska, hasn't allowed one all night. Next play- Gilbert is sacked, fumbles and Alabama recovers. Game over. Never say that Kirk. Never mention things like a line not giving up a sac, a QB not throwing an interception or a kicker not missing field goals, because you know that they will the second you say it. Kirk, you jinxed us out of a great finish.

- I think Boise State could have beaten the Alabama team we saw last night.

- Boise finishing 4th in the AP poll is insane. If you are undefeated and win a BCS bowl, you should either be #1 or #2.

So that was the college football season that was. Soon I will have a mini-preview of my expectations for next year. Tide-Broncos in the championship? A bowl game for Cuse? The fall of Florida without Tebow? Does Ingram get his second Heisman? I'll tell you my opinion then.
