BEST EFFORT

I could sit here and plead my case for UT if Colt hadn't gotten hurt and the rest of the team hadn't lost the great momentum they had built over the first couple of series, but it wouldn't change the fact that Bama took advantage of the Longhorns' misfortune and played a great football game. Although Texas put up a heck of a fight, they just couldn't catch a break. Had they not had that nasty penalty that got the first touchdown called back, the missed ball on the next touchdown pass, and the pointless pick 6 at the end of the first half, Texas could've had a great win. However, that wasn't the case, and nothing can change that. Even though there were some calls that weren't made that should have been, and the great McCoy had to watch the true freshman, Gilbert, who had a fantastic game, get thrown into the fire, I'm still proud of the Horns. They didn't give up. They didn't lay down. They fought as though there were no tomorrow. They gave their absolute best effort.

I'm also proud of Colt McCoy's interview at the end of the game - the way he gave all the glory to God and had the maturity to remember that God is still on the throne and that his life is completely surrendered to Him. That's why I love the kid so much. He knows where he came from and Who he belongs to! I can only hope and pray that more people in the spotlight will step up and give God the glory, even when they don't get their way. Way to go Colt. Way to go Longhorns.

I couldn't be prouder! 

Hook 'em!
