Webmaster:
No need to get pissed off about the spelling issue. I'm definately not one to point out others typos, but when you say you are "spelling it out for me", it was just too hard to resist.
If you want to consider the second half "trouncing", then feel free. In reality, the Colorado defense sat back on their lead. Notice the defensive formations in the second half? It was 36-17, and Colorado went into a large buffer prevent defense -- that is the only reason Texas scored their points. The touchdown that made it 36-30 was quite possibly the stupidest coaching move in the history of college football. That wasn't Texas making it close, that was Colorado giving them points. Barnett even admitted to it afterwards. With Colorado up more than a touchdown with less than 2 minutes left, they again smartly went into a prevent defense. I'll explain this to you a little further -- when you are up more than a touchdown with little time left in the game, you can live with giving up a score, you just don't want to give it up too quickly. They prevented just that.
I never claimed a comeback cannot happen in a game. A team can fold, and the other team can catch all the breaks. This didn't happen here. Colorado played just the game they wanted to in the second half. They could live with scores, just not quick ones. The fake punt call is the only reason Texas made the score look close.
Again, I can cite a million examples of games that go just the same way. But the two most recent are of course the Bills/49ers and the A&M/UT game... I mean, you're a UT fan, can you honestly say that UT didn't have that game in total control? Yet we still had a chance on a last drive of the game, but c'mon, everyone that knows anything about football knew that game was over in the first half.
