I expected another blown second half lead and the game went more or less on that script for three quarters. These guys flipped the fucking script in the final frame. It wasn’t perfect, it wasn’t always pretty, and hell, we learned that some facets of this team have a lot more to work on than we realized. But this team did something tonight that it’s consistently failed to do for two years and was well on its way to failing at again. They found a way to get it done anyway. Yeah Bama gave them some gifts but that’s Bama’s fucking problem. I’m so happy for these kids. Credit to Sark too. He was a (the?) main reason I predicted a L so I would be remiss not to give him his due. Not only was his team prepared for the fight and the environment, one they hadn’t really experienced a true analog for, but that was easily his best called game against a good team at Texas, on the whole. There’s things to work on and it’s likely some setback(s) awaits later this year. But not tonight. Tonight should be savored.
