But not the final minute (for those who, like me, had the Owls +32.5).

Coach Bloomgren needs to learn how to better take care of the alumni and just kick the ball out of bounds after securing the back-door cover with a minute to go -- Texas would have just knelt on the ball twice and everybody could have gone home happy. Or forget the alumni and just take care of the players -- a lot of injuries happen on kickoff returns; no need to risk anything vital with that score and that clock.

Ah well, onward and upward.

Hate to say in the loyalty dimension that I gave the points last Saturday. But to offset that, my green dimension did better. I have beer money for the month that wifey doesnt know about....

Heck, if they had attempted an onside kick that would have resulted in a) practice, b) a couple of knees by TX if we failed.

I’ve seen offside kicks returned for tds too.

But that said, I just recommend people watch the ‘94 game

Well, the ending of the Rice/UT game was on ESPN's bad beats segment on Monday night. It definitely made the cut, on a weekend where there were a lot of bad beats.

But it wasn't the worst bad beat of the weekend - the Rice game was only second to last. And the last one was a pretty horrific bad beat, if you had the under, from an Orioles/Tigers game that went to extra innings.
