Texas rematch in the Big 12 Championship 2010. I was in Dallas for the 2009 Championship game, which made the Husker loss all the more frustrating. @brandi: Here’s to a Nebraska v.

Good to hear support from another Big 12 fan...even after the difficult loss Nebraska took in some last-second craziness. I have to say...I'm still having a hard time putting this game down. What *I* wanted was Colt to play. What I wanted was to see a game where the two *best* teams were playing each other. We'd all waited for it, and because sport can be both so inspiring and so devastating...this time around, the story was a difficult one to swallow. But, my real hopes--after knowing Colt wasn't coming back--was to see a kid who'd only taken 26 snaps in his college career beat the team that no one told us we cold beat...even with our best guy in. And, until 3:00 were left on the clock, he *almost* did it. And it gave me pride. And then, all of the Alabama fans and TV analysts began smashing Colt's character and questioning his passion for the game. They discredited the fact that no one gave us a chance and we *still* almost won. Like I said: I'm still having a hard time putting this one down. But from one Texas fan to another temporary supporter: thanks for the respect. We'll get the SEC next year ;) Thanks, Sean.
