KARMA!!!!!!

What is the most reprehensible thing a football fan can do in the stadium?

Forget the fact fans swear around children (sorry), get drunk and stumble around in public, scream foul profanities directed towards 19 year old college students, throw food and drink on fans and the field, make insulting posters, and start fights with opposing fans.

The answer is cheering when a player from the opposition gets hurt. A fan who cheers at an injury during the game would be the child molester of the prison world. They are surrounded by heinous criminals, yet even the criminals think the child molester is revolting.

That is what Texas Longhorns fans are, and they had this coming.

For those of you who don't know, Texas QB, and two time Heisman finalist, Colt McCoy was injured in the first quarter of the national championship game, unable to return. He wasn't hurt bad, but his arm went numb and he felt like he couldn't perform.

There is always one in every crowd.

A marquee player goes down with an injury and the guy in the row in front of you, totally wasted, slurs together some sort of howl of approval. It's never okay, even when he is rooting for your team. I would love to have every Sooners fan that does that banned from attending games in person. It's embarrassing.

But this October, I sat and watched as half of the Cotton Bowl roared with delight when Bradford was on the ground holding his shoulder. It was the most classless display of fandom that I have ever witnessed in 28 years of attending sporting events (and I have been to Miami for a football game).

So when I say that Texas fans had this coming, I don't feel bad in the slightest. If anything, this was a gift for the Longhorns because they now have an excuse as to why they lost. Now they don't have to accept defeat, just like they haven't gotten over being jumped in the BCS by Oklahoma last year.

I was not happy that Colt got injured (at least not that I'll admit), but I am happy that my faith in karma has been restored. If there was ever a fan base that deserved something like this to happen, it is the faithful of the burnt orange. Believe me, I have plenty of perspective living in Austin.

The game, as most of you know, is not really worth going back over. Neither team was coached well. If anything, Alabama made more coaching mistakes. The only other notable part of the entire game was the Gatorade bath that Alabama head coach Nick Saban took.

I saw his clips on ESPN before the game. He didn't smile the entire week. When asked if he was able to enjoy any of the atmosphere, he flatly replied, "No." So when the bucket was heading his way, I thought he would finally crack, flash a smile, and celebrate with his team.

Nope.

He turned around with a disgusted look on his face to catch the number of the perpetrators. He didn't celebrate at all. He just grabbed a towel and dried himself off disgustedly. No one around the bath tried to celebrate the moment either. They all knew how Saban would react.

The only way you could justify being that much of a curmudgeon during an event like that, is if you personally believe that it is disrespectful to your opponent.

I don't buy that since Gatorade baths are so commonplace during bowl games, especially the National Championship.

I would root for any other team in the Big XII playing in a BCS game with the exception of Oklahoma State, for the same reason I don't root for Texas. OSU fans are just as bad as UT fans. I dislike many teams because they have beaten OU in the past, but the teams that really disgust me are the ones with classless fans.

In my mind, it was a tie between OSU and UT, but UT's Heisman moment came when they cheered at Bradford's injury.

Loudly. In unison.

Longhorns fans didn't deserve the title.
