In spite of my silly earlier post, I really want to say Great game, Pipeweld and the rest of y'all Tech fans! I mean it sincerely!

Now, y'all represent the great state of Texas and the Big 12 SOUTH. Take it to them yankees, boys, and show 'em the stuff we down here are made of. We'll be rootin' for you all the way!

Now then, I am going to go back and nurse my beer bottle and pout....

Good game. As much as I hate to see us lose, you guys were better (especially defensively). Although, if Texas drops below 7, then there is obvious bias in the BCS.

I've got no dog in this hunt...but this was a pretty darn good game...I was hoping that tu would win this one and the Aggies would pin the first loss on them Thanksgiving night...

Tech beats #1, but they won't be the new #1 team...I think #3 is as good as Tech will get...

It looked like Tech was going to blow tu out of this one...but I have to give the Horns credit for coming back...

not sure how far the horns fall, but looking at the rankings coming into the game, this is what I think it will look like tomorrow morning...

1 Alabama
2 Penn State
3 Tech
4 Should be Texas (since they beat OU) but it will be OU
5 Florida
6 Texas

It ain't exactly fair (heck, Tech should jump to #1 since they knocked off #1) , but that's what I think it will look like...

great game to both schools, congrats to the Red Raiders and all their fans...

I'll be back tomorrow to see how far off I was!!!

Great game, Tech outplayed us but we made a run and almost pulled it out.

Congrats to the Sand Aggies, great win for the state and the Big 12 South! Now don't embarrass us in the next two games

I was secretly rooting for Tech, but don't forget that they still have to play the Oklahoma teams. If they lose either one (and there's a good chance they may), then that will put UT ahead of them again.

Oklahoma will be out for our blood cuz we beat them last season and messed up their BCS standing. Still, we have the talent and, frankly, we WANT IT MORE. I think Tech has a VERY good chance of beating both Oklahoma teams. They play Oklahoma State at home and then have a week off before facing Oklahoma.
