Remember the Alamo

With OU winning the Big 12 South, I think we are going to see:

Fiesta Bowl - OU/Nebraska winner
Cotton Bowl - A&M
Holiday Bowl - OU/Nebraska loser
Alamo Bowl - Texas

The Cotton Bowl will invite A&M on Monday, and tickets will promptly sell out in the time it takes an Aggie to tip a cow.

I also think we've seen the last of Colt McCoy in 2006, which means Jevan Snead will have the Backyard Bowl to impress the fans, and against Iowa he likely will.

What will happen next is inevitable.

Get ready for 2000 redux going into the spring, with compelling cases to be made for both guys.

Do you stick with the proven, older fan favorite who may or may not be fragile?

Or do you go with the younger, more talented player who has the potential to surpass the other, but with no guarantee he ever will?

Sounds familiar, doesn't it?

The cruelest irony is that no matter who Mack Brown picks (if he does pick one), he is going to be second-guessed by the fans. Because as fans, we can't resist fueling this controversy. It's great drama and water cooler talk, and it is beginning, oh, right about now.

Somehow the Florida Gators have managed to play two QBs without the team being torn apart, but I don't know how that's possible here.

The starting QB for any football team in Texas is just too big of a position to share. Even in high school football, fans want to know who "the guy" is.

It's deja vu all over again. Get ready everyone.

Kindle to redshirt?

I hope not, but this makes me think he might.

Mack on Sergio Kindle: "We usually wait until midseason to make a decision on who would redshirt and who will play. Part of the deal will be when he does come back."
