Live Blogging the Cotton Bowl

Posted by Trips Right on January 2nd, 2009 under Uncategorized

I’m late, sue me.

Ole Miss gets the ball. Tech’s front seven make two nice plays to put Ole Miss in a hole. Snead with an NFL caliber deep out for a first down. Colt beat this kid out, and quite handily.

Jeez, four plays into the game and there is a blocking infraction called on Ole Miss. Where was this crew November 1st. The Rebels can’t get out of the first and 20 hole. Punt.

Tech’s front seven is getting good push against Ole Miss’ front. Could be a long day for Snead. Let’s see if Tech shows any rust.

Miss getting good pressure. Jerry (talented Miss Dlineman) has been held twice. Crabtree gets no separation on a fade, 3 and out. Looks like the under 68 might be the play.

Exchange of punts and the Rebels are in Tech territory. Nutt is much more palatable when he’s not coaching the pigs.

Mckinnor Dixon with a sack. Two sacks for Tech today. Wild Nutt Rebel on third and 10 is five yards short. Nutt fakes it and picks up the first. Great call in a game that should be a shoot out. Rebels promptly fumble it away.

Tech’s on the march using, of all things, draws, wide receiver screens, and a no huddle. Ole Miss defender falls down, TD Tech.

Pick six, Texas tech.

Cotton Bowl crowd makes the Orange Bowl crowd look like a Nelson concert.

This is why I’ll never play another under in college football. Too many big mistakes.

Homeless guy plays for Ole Miss. I guess he has a home now, but he used to be homeless. Pretty cool story. Self loathing Generous white family picks up a large black kid walking the streets and now he’ll probably play in the NFL. The state of Mississippi continues to make strides.

Wild Nutt formation, reverse pitch to Snead, who throws it down to the Tech ten yardline. Mike Leach is seen scribbling feverishly on a his Big Chief.

TD Ole Miss, there’s the Texas Tech I know and love. Let me be the first to welcome them back to 2009. Reunion party at DKR November 7, 2009.

Nice draw play to Batch. Harrell douches at the official for a blow to the head. An Ole’ Miss coach screams holding from the sideline. Just when you think it is over, 2008 pulls you back in. I fully expect pickled brain Summerall to start blathering about style points.

Crabtree once again with no separation. Lewis drops a first down. No way Crabtree is healthy. Either that or he’s changed roommates this bowl season. Tech punts again.

Tech seems to have donned ruby red slippers for this game. There’s no place like Muleshoe. There’s no place like Muleshoe.

There’s a better than average chance Summerall thinks Brian Baldinger is John Madden. The percentage goes up with every shot of Beam and every Baldinger inanity.

Snead would be the 7th most accurate Big 12 QB. Missed a sure TD and easy first down throw. Big arm, though.

Snead throws into double coverage and Mike Wallace makes a “60 Minutes” worthy TD catch. Tie ballgame. Wallace may be the best receiver on the field today. Crabtree is not right.

Harrell gets heat up the middle and falls to the ground like a sniper shot him. Dude’s going to have to show toughness if he wants to sniff the League.

Crabtree on the quick slant for a TD which was set up by a nice draw play catching Ole Miss in a stunt. I guess the under wasn’t the play.

Tech front four giving Ole Miss trouble. Getting decent pressure and limiting big plays in the run game. Dedfischer was right.

Jail break screen gets the Rebs out of a 3rd and long hole. Still struggling to establish a run game.

TD throw from Snead to a TE on a seam pattern. This may be the best tackling Tech team I’ve seen, but they still lack talent in their back 4.

Oh, and if you had the under in this game, you’ve got a pair that clanks.

Back shoulder fade to Crabtree is incomplete because he has no strength in the injured ankle. He’s limping noticably.

Fourth and 1 from their own 35 and Tech sneaks it. Makes it by a six inches.

Harrell follows it up with a horrendously underthrown fade that’s picked. Tech is out of sync.

Long run by Ole Miss and they’re in business down to the Tech 10. 3 incompletions and Miss is forced to try a field goal. It’s good and the Rebs are up 24-21.

Tech in the two minute offense. Crabtree is a shell of himself.

4th and 5, 9 seconds at the 50. Harrell runs 48 yards to the 2 and time runs out. Holy shit. I think Henry James may be faster than Harrell. Half time.

They’re showing Sheppard Smith talk about Ole Miss. Brutal programming, but tolerable considering Barry Switzer is lurking somewhere in fox’s studio. Larry Lacewell should have offed himself.

Halftime Stats, Ole Miss has 337 total yards to 247 for Tech.

Tech will get the ball first.

“Repetition is the mother of invention.” –Brian Baldinger. Yes he’s been partaking of Summerall’s stash.

Crabtree just dropped an easy slant. Injury is the mother of invention.

Pick six by the Rebels. Ten point lead. Crabtree slips on the injured ankle and the CB houses it.

Eyes of Texas was right, you can make a fortune by just betting overs in every Big 12 game.

Ole Miss is dialed in defensively. The last 4 passes have gone interception, incompletion, incompletion, incompletion. Punt team.

Punt return for a TD. Texas Tech is showing its true self. Perennial frontrunner that handles adversity like a celebrity heroin addict. Check that, the returner was ruled out at the two. If Tech can force a field goal, I’ll take it all back.

Tech forces a field goal attempt because Ruffin McNeil threatened to eat the defense. Wide right. Tech still in the ball game.

Fourth and 4 from their own 35 and tech tries to sneak it!!! I’m confident Harrell was in the huddle and said okay guys, trips left, douchebag sneak on two. Turnover on downs to the only real football team in the Cotton Bowl.

Happy with his second chance, Nutt runs the ball 4 times for a TD. Frontrunners are done.

Three and out. Tech’s opening up a big can of quit. Is this a good time to revisit that tie-breaking thing now?

Mercifully, Ole Miss is forced to punt. Tech has yet to cross midfield this half.

Tech with a nice shovel pass to get down to Ole Miss’ 30. Taking advantage of the Rebels aggressive Dline.

Crabtree not on the field. A holding call on Tech. Tech assistant coaches can be seen picking up pieces of leach’s skull and brain matter. McNeil grabs the salt and pepper shakers.

3rd and long and Tech catches Ole Miss in a Carl Reese blitz. Touchdown Tech.

Miss is now pounding it on the ground. Four running plays and they’re down to the Tech 15.

Down to the 4. Fumble at the goal line. Tech gets it back!!! Game on.

Safety. Or could be a safety, could be a touchdown if you’re Pat Summerall and have a pickled liver. Ole Miss goes up by 12.

Brilliant time to hand it off to your converted FB moving side ways 5 yards deep in the end zone. Oh wait.

Here comes Ole Miss again. In Scipio UFC vernacular, time to ground and pound. Maybe I can draw out that body building freak with a “Mixed Martial Arts is Violence Pornography” post. Or I could offer free meal replacement coupons for every thread response.

Miss with a pass down to the Tech goal line. I would love to see Ole Miss run it up. Right on queue, Ole Miss punches it in with the only productive Wild Nutt formation play of the afternoon. Leach has gone from sneaking pours into his plastic Coke cup to taking pulls off his Beam bottle.

I’m looking forward to seeing Brandon Carter’s eye makeup run.

Another holding call on Tech. That would make three more holding calls than they had called their last 4 conference games. Oklahoma is fucked.

TD Tech anyway. Going for two, Harrell gets blown up. Hamby and Carter go ballistic on the Mississippi Dline for, gasp, sacking their quarterback. This ain’t the Big 12 or the WWF you two Nell Carter sized douchebags.

After the two unsportsmanlike penalties, Tech to kick off from the seven and a half yardline. Pat Summerall did the math for me.

Leach with the onside kick, Mississippi gets it. Run it up Nutt-sack.

Ball game. A Houston Nutt coached team showed more class than Texas Tech. Outstanding. Way to embarrass the conference on two fronts. See you in November. Clowns.


Brandon Carter’s next job.

    Ole Miss doesn’t leverage Snead’s athleticism on the field. He is hamstrung by the play action

    I appreciate it as well. It is evil to not have the Cotton Bowl on New Years Day.

    Getting the online feed, but just barely. The updates really help.

    Big 12 North goes 3-0 in its bowl games.

    The Pac 10 goes 5-0 in its bowl games.

    What is this some kind of alternative world run by Mark Mangino?

    I had enough Tecate for most of Guadalajara on Wednesday. I’m glad there’s some left for you to enjoy.

    Make sure you teach your kids to hold the ball for 30 seconds before jacking up a long, off-balance 3 pointer before time expires. It’s an integral part of our half court set just before halftime.

    Sounds like this actually may be a decent game.

  8. Mockingbird said:

    Dez Bryant
    Michael Crabtree
    Demarco Murray

    Out – Out – and Out

    I know Sooner fans think they can brush off Murray’s injury like lint, but watching Tech and Okie State flail without their Playstation weapon has to make them nervous.

  9. Trips Right said:

    January 2nd, 2009 at 12:57 pm

    Mock, you’re right. Love to see some zone read from them.

    Brian, it’s a virtual certainty win or lose.

    Srr50, no shit, both conferences have cost me money. Reesing with 15 completions in a row?

    Vash, no doubt, my kids will be ball hogging, And 1 loving SOB’s

    Tremendous half of football.

    Pat Summerall needs a nap, because he is not doing too well. He’s getting touchdown calls well as if it was 1988, but other than that he and Baldinger have been awful.

    Usually when a game is this high scoring by halftime it should end something like 35-31, which I think is how it will end in favor of the Red Raiders.

    SS…good call on Summerall. I hated him and Madden back in the day when Summerall was on the booze and pills. Shows you how far the Cotton Bowl has fallen. FOX Sports has the worst announcers hands down.

  14. Texas_Dawg said:

    January 2nd, 2009 at 1:18 pm

    There is simply nothing worse than Fox trying to do CFB.

    They don’t even try to do it right.

    This is just disgusting.

  15. Texas_Dawg said:

    January 2nd, 2009 at 1:20 pm

    I’m an SEC fan that has stood up for the B12 and its defenses all year. Tech is making me look really bad right now.

    Fonking Texas Tech. When will I learn?

  16. Texas_Dawg said:

    Daryl Johnston doing the color commentary on the Sugar Bowl. Sweet. I’m sure he’s a serious expert on Utah football. Over/Under 100 on his NFL references during the game.

    People that complained about the BCS moving to ESPN should be embarrassed. NOTHING is worse than Fox doing CFB.

  17. EyesOfTX said:

    January 2nd, 2009 at 1:30 pm

    Baldinger: “Repetition is the mother of invention – isn’t that how that old saying goes?”

    Summerall: “Yes, I believe it does.”

    Reminds me of the Fouts/Jackson:

    Fouts: “Veni, vidi, vici.”
    Jackson: “Ah, how sweet the wine.”

    mmmph.

    After having suffered through a couple of Nutt-coached Arkansas teams put together drives of 98 yards against UT in the Cotton Bowl and in Austin, I can state, with certainty, that you won’t see an I-formation on the 2 from the Rebels.

  19. Trips Right said:

    January 2nd, 2009 at 1:33 pm

    Eyes, that was great.

  20. Horn in Tyler said:

    January 2nd, 2009 at 1:34 pm

    Does anyone else out there wonder if Tech does so much better at night because there, Leach doesn’t get hassled when he drinks on the sideline?

    They do better at night as long as they’re playing in Lubbock. What a bunch of frontrunning clowns.

  23. EyesOfTX said:

    January 2nd, 2009 at 1:43 pm

    BTW, I hate to be commenting on halftime, but goddam, was that the most amateurish halftime show EVER? Fuck. I mean, you have the goddam Kilgore Rangerettes out there, the single most famous drill team in the history of freaking drill teams, and the stupid assed Fox producer spends 95% of their time show the freaking fat flag girls, along with about 200 other dipshits standing around waving streamers for no apparent reason.

    jaysus.

  24. EyesOfTX said:

    January 2nd, 2009 at 1:45 pm

    Wow. Ole Miss may have just let them back in. What a turnaround – Tech was about half an inch of shoe sole away from being down three scores and effectively out of the game.

  25. Texas_Dawg said:

    January 2nd, 2009 at 1:45 pm

    Nice stand by Texas Tech after a first and goal from the 9 and 2/3rds yard line.

    January 2nd, 2009 at 1:50 pm

    A 3rd down draw on 3rd & 3 and then a QB sneak on 4th & 4??

    Someone needs to tell Texas Tech they are playing a defense that hasn’t tacitly agreed to play goofy 5-wide ball with them like the rest of their conference agrees to do.

  28. EyesOfTX said:

    January 2nd, 2009 at 1:50 pm

    4th and 4, you run a QB sneak? Really?????

    Texas Dawg, because Tech is behind. They’re frontrunners. Get a lead on them and they open up a big can of quit and drink it up like they’re at a Mike Leach fundraising party.

  37. EyesOfTX said:

    January 2nd, 2009 at 2:03 pm

  38. srr50 said:

    January 2nd, 2009 at 2:03 pm

    You mean the Tech offensive line is getting dominated, without the benefit of holding calls?

    Imagine that.

    I am really torn. I enjoy the idea of Harrell getting taken apart, but this just feeds into the Big 12 is a fraud/the SEC is all powerful bullshit that will fill the off-season.

    Texas Dawg, because Tech is behind. They’re frontrunners. Get a lead on them and they open up a big can of quit and drink it up like they’re at a Mike Leach fundraising party.

    They still managed to go 7-1 in the Big 12 this year.

    Harrell right now reminds me of Troy Smith in the ‘06 MNC game… he doesn’t seem to think these DEs will be able to tackle or get to him as quickly as they are able to. As if he has never seen such a thing before and his internal clock is set 2-3 seconds too slow for it.

  41. EyesOfTX said:

    January 2nd, 2009 at 2:06 pm

    Summerall and Baldinger just mentioned that Snead is from Stephenville 3 times in the span of about 40 seconds.

    We know, ok?

    Re: DeMarco Murray

    I’m afraid that relative to Dez White and Crabtree’s importance to their respective teams, the loss of Murray is nearly irrelevant to OU.

    I still think Florida pummels them though.

    Nice shovel pass from Tech. Good job adjusting to Ole Miss pinning its ears back on Harrell and the OL.

    Tech can make it a game with a TD here.

  47. srr50 said:

    January 2nd, 2009 at 2:13 pm

    Eyes — Big 12 maybe, but I have this theory about the SEC. Yes it is very very strong at the top, but I haven’t bought in the top-to-bottom idea that they are so much better.

    I have even been working on a post looking at the SEC’s non-conference record during the BCS era which I believe backs up my theory, but the bowl results make me want to shred it all.

  50. EyesOfTX said:

    Those lineman just lost their cool and let Harrell get KILLED on that 2 pt conversion. Awesome.

    The good that came out of this is that if UT and OU win, no one can pull in Tech with the 3 way tie to muddle up the debate, and they have to look at UT and OU head to head. Of course, I think USC is going to pull some #1 votes too.

    srr – Tech losing helps us because it takes them out of the 3 way tie debate and people can simply look at the head to head between OU and UT now.

    That being said, I think USC’s win helps them regardless of what other Big XII teams do and we’ll need to win something like 45-10 on Monday to even have a shot.

    I don’t really care, because I am rooting for Florida regardless on Thursday.

    Houston Nutt beat Tech this year. Greg Davis and the Texas receivers didn’t. Davis lost that game from the first play. Colt never had a chance.

    With the Pac-10’s undefeated bowl season, that only fuels the fire.

    By the way, was I the only one irritated by how many times Musberger mentioned that “the SEC has already lost one…” when the Big XII, at that point, had already only lost one also? (Thanks a lot, OkSt).

    srr – Tech losing helps us because it takes them out of the 3 way tie debate and people can simply look at the head to head between OU and UT now.

    It doesn’t do anything of the kind. If we have learned anything this year it is that the last impression counts the most.

    And the bowl impression is that the Big 12 South can’t play a lick of defense.

    And the Pac 10 is 5-0.

    We needed Tech to show up today, and of course they couldn’t

    You know there is a reason as to why Leach can’t get hired out of Lubbock, and why Tech took their time offering him a new contract.

    That roar you hear isn’t a tornado… it’s the laughter from the rest of the country on the possibility that the Big 12 South may have only 1 bowl win.

    Come on, Longhorns! For. The. Love. Of. God.

    Eh… I tend to disagree. If OU beat Florida and Texas kills OSU, I don’t think there is any “conference” talk. Big XII and SEC split with Big XII winning bigger game, and ‘Horns beat OSU on neutral field with Chris Well. If we win, USC ain’t jumping us.

    But like I said, no way I root for OU. Here’s to Florida winning by 30 and UT getting the unanimous #2 with everyone wishing we’d played Florida instead.

    No they won’t — but they will take enough votes to keep us behind OU.

    AS CTJ so eloquently states, there is NEVER, NEVER, NEVER a reason to want OU to win any contest in any sport.

    I had to make this point on a B10 team’s board this afternoon, regarding the purpose of the tiebreaker.

    If Texas wins, and OU wins, there should be a consideration of all the one-loss teams.

  96. Trips Right said:

    ponderos, yes, and it’s the only reason you’re in the national championship game, because without a conference championship Texas would be playing Thursday.

    Trips,

    I’m a dinosaur who still remembers when Tech had two lifetime wins against the Horns in the history of the series. I don’t accept the notion that winning in Lubbock should be any big trick when you show up ready to kick some ass. But then, imploring your team to “survive the surge” goes against everything I believe.

    Hell yes, if Utah beats Alabama then they deserve #1 votes and possibly the AP title. It’s not their fault they didn’t have to play in a playoff.

    If Texas and Utah win and I had an AP ballot it would probably end up looking

    Elite teams find ways to win away from home when things are going against them. Tech got exposed (again) away from home against an inspired opponent with their best receiver hurt. Sound familiar?

    It should. Same set of circumstances Texas encountered in Lubbock. Horns came back only to lose on the last play. Tech, not so much.

    This team just proved the first two are non-existent (out-rebounded by 25; fucking KIDDING me?) and the last one is over-hyped as well. Every ESPN basketball recruiting analyst who actually had Bradley ahead of Wall should be taken out back and executed Inglourious Basterds style.
