Texas, You Brought This On Yourself

Texas is playing in the Fiesta Bowl instead of the BCS National Championship game, and sure, you have opinions and facts and stats to back up why they got the shaft, or why Oklahoma really belonged all along, or why some D-1AA team really belongs in the game instead of either of them, or whatever cockamamie argument you’ve got waiting in your hip pocket.↵↵I’ve got mine, too, and it’s simpler and a bit more visceral: Texas missed the national title game because of the curse of the Longhorn Crapcake (from the brilliant Cake Wrecks:)

↵↵The horridly flopped twin spurts the frosting gun creating the head, the irregularly shaped skid marks of the horns ... if you create such a disaster of a cake, you can only expect Fate to intervene and allow Michael Crabtree to catch an improbable ball for a game-winning TD on the road at Lubbock. Cake-makers of the world, take note: when you make crappy cake, it will hurt your team on the field. We can only hope this cake was taken to a secret location and destroyed swiftly by trained professionals. (Secret location equals “Shaun King’s house,” and trained professional equals “Shaun King.” His head is getting huge.)↵
