The Rose Bowl

[DaddyTorgo]

wow. let me eat crow.

although i'll point out:
1st half=in my room listening on radio
3rd quarter-9 mins left 4th quarter=watchin tv
end of game=listen on radio.

so clearly it was all how i was listening to the game that mattered! why did i ever go to watch it on tv???

Absolutely. What a game. Vince Young, you are a legend!

[Noop]

Best.Game.Ever.

[Cuckoo]

From an OU fan, a big congratulations to the Texas Longhorns and their fans.

[SirFozzie]

so, will the phantom pitch TD (the one by Texas they rushed to avoid a review) be controversey tommorrow? 6 points.. makes all the difference..

[tarcone]

young is one of the best college players ive seen esp in a clutch situation

Hell, he's a better player than Vick will ever be right now.

Lions need to trade up for him.

[tucker rocky]

Ok, odds on who's going to be in the NT game next year?

[Tasan]

Man, something tells me that even if Carrol kicks the punt, Texas still does this on Vince's legs.

#!: Congrats, Longhorns.

#2: I'm really not surprised that the final margin was 3 points after that terrible "no-fumble" call that led to a Texas field goal.

#3: Bush probably goes pro, now that the option of a BCS three-peat is gone.

Anyone remember the down and distance on that play?

I may just have to agree with you there...

[Rizon]

I don't really follow college ball, but after the game why did they interview John Mayer?

It will certainly be talked about, but if that call is reversed, they still have a first down on about the 20. Hard to say if things would have been different.

I would agree. That is why I'm not to troubled with Carrol's decision.

And Young goes pro.

Well, that and the late FG.

I thought Dad said there was some controversy about a USC TD, too, but it seems like the poor calls that put 9 on the board for Texas will loom large in the SoCal media.

I honestly don't think he ever will be.

They still woulda scored after that anyway.

No.

They score on that drive regardless. It would have been 1st and Goal. They wouldn't have stopped Young on three draws.

1st and goal for Texas from the 8? Something tells me that Young's in the endzone anyway moments later.

[Young Drachma]

Wow..Vince Young is such a beast.

[timmynausea]

Anybody else think Vince might've moved himself up to consideration at the number 1 spot?

[wade moore]

Would have been around the 10 or 11 and a first down...

So, odds are it's a TD anyways.. yeah, USC fans will moan about it (and it wsa a bad call), but I don't think you can blame the whole game on it...

[tarcone]

no controversey.....the way USC played Young he would have scored on the next play

[Buccaneer]

Well that sucked. UT is deserving of the championship.

Gotta love the ESPN SC love fest...their headline starts...:

USC failed to make history, but the Rose Bowl (ABC ) lived up to the hype

It was an epic performance. I've been telling a few co-workers all year that he was one of the top 3 players potentially entereing the NFL next year. Now I hope, hope, hope he both comes out and the Jets grab him (at 4, or move up a spot or two if necessary).

[jbmagic]

USC failing on two 4th downs attempts hurt them tonight.

[KWhit]

So who would you guys vote for MVP??

[JW]

Let me see if I get this right, per ABC and ESPN. Best team ever. (ABC and ESPN) Best defensive coach ever, Carroll. (ABC) Best player ever, Bush, rating a new Heisman trophy pose. (ABC) How could they possibly lose?

Nah, Texas got robbed of an interception and USC got the majority of the crappy calls in their favor on top of that. Not to mention the announcers jizzing all over themselves talking about Bush and Leinart.

[SirFozzie]

200 yards in one game rushing. By a QB

7 Rushing touchdowns in two rosebowls. By one QB

Goooollllyy

[tarcone]

young just won the heisman.....screw bush

[PineTar]

don't get caught up in the moment... USC's defense made a lot of guys look good this year.

His final statline is insane:

30/40 for 267 yards (0 TD, 0 INT)

20 carries for 200 yards, 3 TDs

[Rockstar]

I cant believe that Texas just beat the best team in the history of college football. LOL.

But they're the best team evah!

you gotta imagine if the voting happened now it might look a little different ...

[biological warrior]

Somewhere a highly touted recruit just signed with Texas.

[tarcone]

467 total yards by young
didnt that 500+ yd game win bush the heisman?

[ISiddiqui]

Classy move by Mack Brown, congratulating USC before he said anything else.

[SirFozzie]

Wow. That was classy, Texas=good
