- UT stops USC on the first three downs and then fumbles the punt. USC scores in a handful of plays. (That may change the tempo of the game for the rest of the way)
- Cingular is genius for buying that space on the coaches' headsets
- I'm already tired of seeing Matthew Mcconaughey
- Texas went for it on 4th and 1 at the 50 yard line with 9 minutes left in the first quarter. They didn't make it. I'm surprised at how fast the USC defense is.
- I was at the Rose Bowl last year. It is the most beautiful setting I've ever seen for a football stadium (although it is a bear to get into and the parking is a long way away)
- Play by play man Keith Jackson is great (although I'm sure I saw him retire 5 years ago)
- At the beginning of the second quarter, USC's Reggie Bush made a huge run and then fumbled it when he tried to lateral it. Bonehead.
- Vince Young is great. Reggie Bush is great.
- Midway through the second quarter: UT might win this thing if they would stop fumbling.
- The commercial with the guy singing the Dukes of Hazzard theme song is funny.
- At 6:50 left in the second, that was one heck of an interception at the goal line by Texas. (And instant replay is a good thing).
- I wonder why Mack Brown doesn't play more of freshman RB Jamaal Charles who looked great at the first part of the season?
- OMG! Texas just stole a TD with 5:00 minutes left in the second quarter when Vince Young pitched the ball after his knee went down. I think I'm sick. But God punished Texas by making them miss the extra point. I think I heard God say "I will strike thee down with great vengeance and furious anger."
- Triple OMG!!! Texas just went up 16-7 right before halftime. Where are my dress blues and shotgun shells?
- Maybe God got mad at me for using the acronym "OMG"
- Dear God, as halftime nears, I promise I will never post another Brokeback Mountain topic on The Blog if you let USC come back and win.
- I just heard Keith Jackson say "They have two times out remaining"
- By they way, LeAnn Rimes sang the National Anthem. I thought she was dead. And didn't she used to have jacked up teeth?
- Dear God, if you let USC win I won't make fun of people like LeAnn Rimes ever again. Promise.
- Field Goal by USC!!!! Thank you, God. (But, upon reflection, I may have promised to much with that LeAnn Rimes thing).
- Halftime
- Ok, USC has scored. They now lead 17-16. I'm putting my shotgun away now.
- Ok, Texas has scored. They now lead 23-16. I've got a bottle of Paxil in my hands. I'm so tempted.
- Ok, USC just took the lead. 24-23. God Loves California. God Loves Liberals.
- Texas just missed a Field Goal at the top of the 4th Quarter. (But the ability of Vince Young to take off an run has me a little nervous).
- Just saw a commercial for Heather Graham's new series "Emily's Reasons Why Not". Heather is hot. I'm glad that shocked me back into reality so that I could get my priorities in order.
- Let me say this: As much hype as this game has had, it has lived up to all. And as much hell as the BCS catches, it did its job this year. In the old days, Texas and USC would not be playing right now.
- I hate Texas, but their uniforms are the coolest in college football.
- Why do college football games take FOREVER but an NFL game takes three hours?
- Dear God, if you let USC win I will vote in the Republican Primary. Honest. And I also won't post any more pictures of Lindsey Lohan or college cheerleaders.
- Uh, God, you understood that I didn't promise not to look at those pictures. I don't think it's a sin, despite what Jimmy Carter said.
- And one more thing, God, I'm sorry I kept replaying that part of Boogie Nights involving the aforementioned Heather Graham. I'm pretty sure that was a sin.
- I think my new nickname shall be "LenDale". He is my new hero based upon what I'm seeing right now.
- Holy Crap!!!! Reggie Bush just scored to put USC up 31-23. Reggie Bush may be the fastest man I've ever seen in the history of ever. (I wonder if God really heard my promises earlier?).
- Sheesh. 11:10 left in the fourth. Jamaal Charles (didn't I say earlier he should never play?) caught the ball and fumbled. The refs blew the call. Instant replay didn't bail them out.
- Field Goal by Texas at 8:46. USC 31, Texas 26. Tense. (I think I'm going to go read a passage from II Chronicles during the commercial break).
- Touchdown USC at 6:42 in the 4th!!!! What a catch. What an effort. What a game. (I tried to read II Chronicles but didn't understand it).
- I think I'll go to bed now.
- Just kidding.
- So here we are. 6:00 left in the 4th. USC ahead 38-26. You know, Texas has been a little tight all night long. I hope they don't decide to loosen up. That's when they are at their best.
- I wonder if there are any new Internet pics of Lindsay Lohan or Heather Graham I need to see right now?
- I hope God is big on the "forgiveness" thing.
- Holy Crap!!! Texas just scored. USC 38, Texas 33. (I would like to point out that my earlier comment that Texas needs to "loosen up" might make me a sports genius).
- Ok, I'm taking another shot at II Chronicles.
- I didn't see anything about a "ring" representing "continuous love". I'm watching the game.
- Holy crap. USC ball. 4th down. 2 yard to go. 2:13 left. On the Texas 45......What will they do?
- OH NOOOOOOOOOOO! They went for it and didn't get it!
- Ok, Texas ball. They have their chance. TENSE. So TENSE.
- OMG (Sorry God). On third down, Texas throws a pass but is short of the first down. BUT a face mask call gives Texas a first down.
- Crap. Another first down. My cow heart might give out on me.
- Keith Jackson just said "Times Out" again.
- 46 Seconds left. Texas is down to the 14. Let me say this: This may be the greatest National Championship game ever. Lord, please don't let Texas win.
- OMG (God has not been answering my prayers, I might add)!! Texas is down to the 9 yard line.
- Here we go. Fourth down. 26 seconds left. 5 yards to go from the 9 yard line.
- OMG
- No funeral

Barry, have you noticed that Keith is pro USC and he has forgotten his midwest and southern roots! Texas needs to find someone who can hold the freakin' ball! Go Vince!
BARRY! It is obvious that God has rewarded the great state of Texas with that touchdown as a result of making up for the poor PRO USC officiating thus far. Replay is a GREAT thing! Just need to use it more often.
All that OMG'ing? You're off to the Deep South now, for sure......
Has Mack never heard of icing!? What the hell are those time outs for...he can't redeem them for cash! And as for you Barry, maybe the Brokeback Mtn. movie has stirred something within you and you need to join the liberal California crowd...being you seem to be supporting them these days!
I can't remember rooting against the Baylor girls when they played for the National Championship! I might add that is the only way Baylor could win one, girl's basketball. Give it up Barry or move to California, where in the land of fruits and nuts you would fit right in. SC-Denton
Neener Neener 23-17
Barry, if you think i am going to read all of that, you are crazy! lol
F... You Barry!!!!! Liberal Bastard!
f&!#k ya'll im from TEXAS
dang it, USC should have won that game!!!
How can you POSSIBLY be tired of looking at Matthew? YUM!! In the immortal words of Bigcatdaddy YES I WOULD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was freakin' hysterical Barry. BUT, too bad, so sad. YAY Texas!!!
.i agree with 10:58 - just not gonna read all of that..
..scrolled and saw the length...
...and just moved on.
Barry - thanks for making me laugh! That was a great game and USC played their butt's off. I'm so glad that Texas won though. I hope you don't have to take off work to deal with this heartbreak! I was wondering how you were dealing with the game! ha, ha
Oh, my gosh, miz.gina, "YES I WOULD!!" too!! x's a trillion. =)
And, Barry's lost his ever-loving mind....
HOOKEM HORNS AND GOD BLESS TEXAS
DITTO 8:15 am I Love Texas!!!!!
God obviously loves Texas Longhorns and conservatives.
For the record, you can still love Texas and not be a Longhorn fan. It was a great game, except for the outcome. Anyway, the officiating was terrible on both sides. If the officials would have been doing their job, the outcome would have possibly been different. Anyway, it is good for the state of Texas. (By the way, I AM NOT a USC fan.)
Barry,
You absolutely made my day with this commentary. Thanks for sharing. But, Shug, how oh how can you be a native Texan (you are, right?) and not cheer for UT? It's just down the street from Waco, can't you spare a little love? Hook 'em Horns and God Bless Texas.
Barry, you are hysterical..were you drinking AND popping paxil during the game?! LOL
Best game I've ever watched,
waaaaaaaaay to go TEXAS!
I'm so glad I taped the game just so that I can look at Matthew over & over....HOOK UP HORNS! Do you think Matthew will be on the late shows talking about Texas?
FACE IT BSG, THE HORNS HOOKED 'EM!!!! HA HA
Yes to Matthew - He can hook my horn anytime, anywhere, anyday!!!!!!
Miz Gina,
I second your comments!
Barry,
You are too funny. It was a bit long but worth the read.
You crack me up!
My only regret is now Vince Young will go pro and be drafted by Houston. I'd hoped he'd run for governor so we could get rid of Rick Perry.
LOVED THE COMMENTS, THANKS FOR THE LAUGH.
That is the funniest thing I have ever read!!!!!!!!!
Question: How come I can read a BSG blog in 3 hours but a college football game lasts all night... Longest blog I've ever seen - more of a muse, don't you think - but absolute GOLD! wtg, Barry!
By the way, this was the I-don't-care bowl. I hate UT, but it was also time for another team to knock USC off its pedastal. Not a USC fan, but I would cheer for the university of IRAQ before rooting for the despised Longhorns.
That's OK, though, Vince Young will leave and we'll go back to being able to beat Texas again every once in a while.
Sincerely,
A Red Raider fan
Barry, you need to give Texas a break. They have a great football team (and are also the national champs in Baseball). I'm an Aggie, and even I found a way to pull for them. BTW, longhorn and conservative do not belong in the same sentence. tu is the most liberal college in this state.
Your musing made my lunch hour go better though. Thanks for the laugh.
Have you all noticed that Barry has not even been on the Blog today? He must really be in BAD shape.....taking the UT win hard.
He must be on the paxil hard today!
They hooked you bad, huh Barry?
OMG, should we be planning Barry's funeral? LOL
Is Vince not the best ever!!!!!
Go HORNS!!!!
THE BEST GAME EVER
Poor Barry.... I think his little cow heart gave out on him!
The news recapped the game today at noon, replaying Matthew's pre-game teaser w/Will Ferrell.
***McConaughey is HOT***
The hell with Matthew, although I wouldn't kick him out of bed....I'll hold poor Barry's head and give him some comfort and love and fan him with his BU pennant and pop paxils in his cute little mouth until his little cow heart heals.
HEY 4:34PM - BIGCATDADDY, IS THAT YOU? LOL
THAT WAS SOME FUNNY SHIT, DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT BEING LONG BECAUSE I WAS LAUGHING MY ASS OFF!
Hold on fans, the team with the SECOND longest winning streak in the nation is...... TCU! Yup, with 10 strqaight they're second to only UT. When are we going to get that matchup?
Must say...I laughed out loud while reading. :-)
Barry, thanks for the Cliff's Notes version of the game. I didn't watch it because I'm not that huge a football fan...okay, I don't like it much at all, but at least now I won't seem like such an idiot when others are talking about it! By the way, I hear God's a UT fan, so I'm pretty sure you're good, despite your empty promises!
