8:33 WCT: I'm going to have to sign off... Headed down for the field... look for some post-game sound Monday night on the news and maybe i'll appear in one of the post-game pressers tonight... Roll Tide!... first time i've ever said that... :)
8:30 WCT - Ya know I was just saying... whos guna have the gall to ask Saban if there's some sort of downgraded quality of this win because mccoys out.. will it be me? only time will tell... but of course he will say it means nothing...
8:20 WCT - What a huge pass interference call on Texas... it was fair... he may have been able to come back for it
8:12 WCT - End of third quarter... Bama better get back to doing what they do and run the football... or this could get too close for comfort... a hairy finish though is Bama's MO
8:08 WCT - Wow! Bama's special teams gets an F today... that first guy should have let it go... they just fired it right at him... new life for the longhorns? I'm still not sold
8:07 WCT - Texas FINALLY breaks through for a TD... and Gilbert FINALLY hits an open receiver.. Shipley... I still think it's too little too late.. boy do I bet Mack Brown wishes he kneeled now!
7:59 WCT - probably just a sprain for mccoy... xrays negatoray... so shouldn't hurt his draft stock... you wonder if he'd play if it was his non-throwing shoulder... also... if it's only a sprain why doesn't he tough it out?... is it totally impossible?... did his NFL future factor in?... it'd be a good post game question for Mack Brown
7:52 WCT - Ingram Shaken up... I'll try to give you a report ASAP of what they tell the media... although it might be nothing... he walked off on his own power
7:46 WCT - UPDATE: From Bama media relations... Nick Saban said at half "It was a great hit on Colt McCoy"... INTERESTING... haha
7:40 WCT - Some fan in a mask just ran onto the field... that's the most i've seen this Texas crowd react the entire game
7:24 WCT - Update: McCoy won't return
7:04 WCT - Unbelievable! y didn't Mack take a knee? game over.. at the half...
6:59 WCT - Gotts put the points on the board... I hate to say
6:47 WCT - Montgomery Public Schools canceled tomorrow. Arenas w/ the pick... it won't be the last... guaranteed... Barron may get into the act too
6:43 WCT - UPDATE: Colt McCoy to be re-evaluated at the half
6:43 WCT - Wow Trent Richardson is looking HUGE! This could b like the Auburn game where we see less of Ingram. The route may be on folks...
6:32 WCT - You know all these Texas sacks are coverage sacks, but McElroy has to get rid of the football.
6:21 WCT - Touchdown Tide! W/ McCoy out I wouldn't be surprised if Bama takes UT to the woodshed.
6:16 WCT - End of 1st Quarter. W/ McCoy out all Bama has to do is key on the run and make this true frosh beat em. Meanwhile, that's all the Tide's offense needs to do. Pound the rock! Use Ingram and Richardson till their legs fall off. This is one of the last top ranked college teams that depends heavily on the backfield, and they need to continue to beat up on that Texas D-line.
6:04 WCT - As Bama drives, it'll be interesting to see how McCoy's backup performs. He was a huge HS pick-up. Broke all of Graham Harrel's records in Austin, TX. Looks like it's the right arm of McCoy that's injured.
5:57 WCT - What are the up men doing!? Someone needs to take charge there and make a play! It's a live football.
5:52 WCT - What a great stand by Bama... but what's the deal w/ Colt McCoy? He's headed to the locker room... but walked off on his own power. Concussion maybe? Huge turn of events... and a big momentum swing for Texas not to get into the end zone there. They needed 7 points.
5:45 WCT - Why would u run a fake punt on 4th and 23!? Unless Fitz thought he couldn't get rid of it for some reason... weird
5:38 WCT, 7:38 CT - Kickoff!... Looks like Texas wanted to avoid any kind of return from Javier Arenas
4:43 WCT, 6:43 CT - Hey guys! I'm here now in the press box ready to kick this baby off! As I said on my Twitter, I'm picking the Tide in this one. I think the Texas O-Line is vulnerable... as we saw in the Big 12 championship... and I see Colt McCoy getting very frustrated. Bama's offense is so much stronger than Nebraska's, and what the Longhorns saw regularly in conference play,so I don't see the guys from Tuscaloosa losing.
Keep checking in throughout the game for more updates... and feel free to say hey on Twitter and Facebook.!
