Rose Bowl
 

I know we have some College football fans in here. So far the bowl season hasn't dissapointed. There have been some great games so far.

With that in mind, who do you guys like tonight for the National Championship?


I for one would love to see USC get beat, but they're practically playing at home.


I'll go out on a limb and say Texas - 41 USC - 35

Any predictions?

Re: Rose Bowl
 

No predictions. I just wanna' see Texas take down USC.

Re: Rose Bowl
 

Want Texas to win, but I'm fairly confident that USC will win.

Re: Rose Bowl
 

The last hurrah for the Trojans, as it's the last game for both Leinhart and Bush. Vince Young has really led the Longhorns this year with his ability.

Both teams are strong on both sides of the ball, and it should be a footrace to the finish.

Texas 45 USC 42

Re: Rose Bowl
 

Applying to texas. Therefore: LETS GO LONGHORNS. The penn state game was great last night and there was a happy ending.

Also i hate dynasties. Finish it. Gosh its annoying. I don't know what i would do if the skins won 35 games. well first i would be happy but it would get boring soon. Geeeeeeeez

Re: Rose Bowl
 

whatever! my alma mater comes through for the 3-peat in a little more than an hour.

Fight On
For Old SC
Our Men Fight On
To Victory
Our Alma Mater Dear
Looks up to You!
Fight on and Win
For old SC, Fight on to victory
Fight On!

I can't wait to hear "Tribute to Troy" fifty times during the game. Vince Young goes down. Texas' D focuses so much on Reggie that Matt has a field day with the other weapons. Look out for Byrd, Smith, and Jarrett... plus Lendale.

Roll Trojans Roll!!!

Re: Rose Bowl
 

I think USC wins a close game, well close until the 3rd quarter that is. USC by 14.

Re: Rose Bowl
 

argh... bad play by reggie... i've never seen him do something that dumb before... the momentum slid UT's way after that play.

well, PC is the best at halftime adjustments... time to regroup!!!

Re: Rose Bowl
 

Now that's what you call a stiff arm!! I'm rooting for USC cuz I hate every single team that resides in the state of Texas (raised by diehard fans of Oklahoma and any team that shares a state with the cowpies and the spurs just isn't a team I can cheer for).

Re: Rose Bowl
 

Can't stand Leinart. He's overated and will be the biggest bust in the NFL next season. Bush can't handle the pressure of the Longhorns. Vince Young is the truth. Man I can't wait to see him in the NFL. Texas wins this game easily. 38 - 28.

Re: Rose Bowl
 

I can only hope the skins one day have a "overated" young qb like leinart as our qb.

Re: Rose Bowl
 

and for all the talk about bush, reggie that is ;), lindell white sure is having a pretty nice game.

Re: Rose Bowl
 

one more driving chance. Lets go vince

Re: Rose Bowl
 

1 minute left
down 5 driving. So good

Reviewing a possible fumble but it can't be so it just stops the clock for Texas

Re: Rose Bowl
 

30 SECONDS 30 SECONDS!!!!!

Woooooo 3rd and 5 at 9


THIS IS IT!!! 4th and 5 at 9 yard line!!!

Re: Rose Bowl
 

VINCE YOUNG IS GOD!!! VINCE YOUNG!!! omG
TD VINCE YOUNG!!!! THEY GOT THE LEAD 9 yard rushing TD

VINCE runs in a 2 point conversion. TEXAS up by 3!!! 19 seconds! YEAH! What a great football week

Re: Rose Bowl
 

well, we lost fair and square... mad props to VY and texas... i really didn't think he'd own us like he did. Congrats longhorns, you deserve it!

Re: Rose Bowl
 

How do you have the Heisman winner on the sideline with 4th and 2 for the game basically? Coaching lost this one.

Re: Rose Bowl
 

yeah young definitely has some legs on him, still unsure about his arm except on quick dumps, but I'm sorry if you take away that boneheaded lateral by bush this game isn't even close cuz that play seemed to absolutely destroy usc momentum in the first half even though they got back on track offensively in the second half.

I didn't notice bush was on the sidelines but I would have thought they'd have tried for a short out to try and atleast give themselves a chance with a field goal to go to overtime. that last play looked fubared almost from the get go.

Re: Rose Bowl
 

plus more importantly ESPN now has a segment on the skins :httr:

Re: Rose Bowl
 

WOW! What a freaking game. Vince Young tore the freaking crap out of that game, that was insane.

Re: Rose Bowl
 

I know after watching the first half I didn't expect the second half to be the polar opposite and result in an offensive explosion. and I don't know why but for me it reminded me of the skins last playoff game when the bucs seemed to have all of their own fumbles bounce back towards their players.

I was talking about before Young scored the go ahead touchdown. USC had the ball around mid-field and had Bush on the sidelines on 4th and 2. Inexcusable in every way. You gotta get your Heisman winner the ball in the situation. White is a great ball player. Bush is the freakin' Heisman winner. Heisman gets the ball. Hell let your Heisman QB throw it your Heisman RB. Sounds better than giving the ball to your second string RB(I know he is more than a second stringer but not on this team he really isn't).

Re: Rose Bowl
 

nah i don't fault the playcall on fourth. bush was getting stuffed the entire game (longhorns D was focused on RB the entire month) and lendale was getting the 6 yard clips in the second half. i'm glad we went for it on fourth- it just didn't go our way.

Re: Rose Bowl
 

Texas will come back with less that 7min in a game down by 12 and Vince Young will be the Hero...........hey it could happen

Lindell White was averaging 6 YPC in the 2nd half. I really can't blame the coaching staff for that one.

No offense to the USC fans but I hate USC football! Texas is a beast. Bush is the next NFL #1 pick bust.

BSB -- Goodluck with getting into Texas bro. Thanks to Texas getting rid of affirmative action and instead changing it so if you get a 3.0 in High School you're automatically given acceptance into any public Texas school (really not a bad idea IMO) It makes it very hard for out of staters. I applyed and didn't get in (no big suprise). However, my friend had a 3.8 at his college and even some extra curricular and he didn't get in. It's a tough school, but I'd kill to go there. I'm such a loser I'm considering moving to Austin after school, the town is awesome!

I live in Austin....its a fantastic city. Actually most of the people here hate the Cowboys because Jerry Jones doesn't draft UT players and they really hate that organization now. If you can live here, DO IT! There is so much to do and now we not only have NCAA Football Champions, we also are the reigning NCAA Mens Baseball Champions....the town is pumped! BIG PARTY for the lighting of the tower tomorrow night - expecting over 250,000 people when they bring the crystal football back home!

yo Daseal, i always had a hunch you had something against my boys with some of your posts but i never said it... so it's true!

i can understand the feeling though... the best teams always get mad haterade. i remember miami used to be the dynasty everyone loved to hate. but i gotta say in our defense, we're not miami- we don't have thugs, and if someone messes up bad he gets kicked off the team immediately (eric wright). I love the way Pete Carrol has turned the program around. If you listen to the guys in their interviews, the players are having fun while learning to play the right way. Reggie and Matt went over to the texas locker room after the game to wish congratulations. Our boys are doing it the right way and they're getting the most out of their experience. What other school would have had a sure fire number one pick return for his senior season?
