The only reason I didn't give this a five-star rating is that it's not in high-definition: the aspect ratio is 4:3 or "fullscreen" rather than the 16:9 ratio used by HD. Otherwise it's excellent: very professional editing by the ESPN producers plus bonus features--the championship celebration after the game, the awarding of the Heisman Trophy to Alabama's Mark Ingram, and a feature called Shortcuts, which are highlight plays in the order in which they occurred during the game. This is a must-have DVD for all Alabama fans. I've been one since Coach Bryant came home from Texas A&M in 1958.

Thoroughly enjoyed the DVD--great sound, color and editing. Great to have this entertaining game to watch again and again!! Roll Tide!

Im an old Alabama boy,it was right nice to see us whoop Texas;and with my DVD I can see it over,and over,and over...

I was at the game and wanted to see what the live broadcast seen by everyone at home was. The main problem I have here is that Alabama still won. (Sorry, I couldn't resist.) The clarity was not quite what I wanted, and there's a little more edited out than I wanted, but a great game nevertheless. For Alabama fans, you really need to have this at home. I've got great Texas games on DVD at home and I'm glad I do. I AM missing the Cotton Bowl back in the '80's vs. Alabama, but, that's OK. "To the victors go the spoils", so Tide fans, enjoy!

This DVD was bought as a gift for a UT fan and close friend. They were unable to attend the game and wanted a copy to safe.

Not an excellent master of the game video, but that's not really important to me. This game was fun from the word go, and as the first National Championship for Bama in 19 years, a treasured event for Bama fans. I wish Colt McCoy hadn't gotten hurt early, because there were a lot of sour grapes from some Texas fans and a few others about that. However, he got hurt because he goofed up a play and froze ... it all part of the game. His replacement did an excellent job in the 3rd quarter and made the game uncomfortably interesting for a while.

It was the culmination of a well coached season and a fitting end for a talented group of players who bought into Saban's coaching style and philosophy. Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson made up a running duo the like of which don't come along very often on one team, and they were as much fun to watch in this game as they had been all year long.

When Texas took the early lead, it was a tense time for Bama fans. By the time the Texas shuffle pass resulted in a Bama TD to end the first half, I felt that the game was over. With long runs, long passes for both sides, and some great defense by Bama when they needed it most, the game was probably more entertaining than the average NC game for non-affiliated fans as well.

Congratulations to Texas for a fine season too. They were a worthy opponent and had a host of talented young men on that team.

Recommended for collectors of NC game films, and Bama fans in particular.
