After The Game
ESPN announced that the 2006 Alamo Bowl was the most watched bowl game in the history of that television network.
Official Jeff Robinson released a statement to clarify the call which nullified the pass to Chandler: "The man who caught the ball (#87) came in motion and came across the line, which made him ineligible to go down field to catch the ball. There was already a man outside of him. The official term for the call on the field is 'covered up on the line.'"
The Texas Longhorns were ranked 19th in the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) rankings, which were issued before the bowl season. They received a final-ranking of 13th in the nation by both the Associated Press AP Poll and the USA Today Coaches Poll The Iowa Hawkeyes finished the season unranked.

Famous quotes containing the word game:
“My first big mistake was made when, in a moment of weakness, I consented to learn the game; for a man who can frankly say “I do not play bridge” is allowed to go over in the corner and run the pianola by himself, while the poor neophyte, no matter how much he may protest that he isn’t “at all a good player, in fact I’m perfectly rotten,” is never believed, but dragged into a game where it is discovered, too late, that he spoke the truth.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
