i'm feelin' horn-y

c'mon guys! no posts about the greatest upset in college football otherwise known as the 2006 rose bowl. it wasn't a pretty game for the longhorns, but a win is a win after all. i am so glad to have finally witnessed the end of the USC era! with a game like that, how many think vince young will actually return to the horns next year? he's crazy if he does. boy, that kid can run! i've never seen a QB run the ball like that. outstanding. so let's hear it for the 2006 national champions - the texas longhorns. :here: :clap: :bowdown: i can't wait until next year. does it get any better than this?!

If it doesn't involve a hockey puck, it doesn't catch my interest... but hey, I'm happy for you! :cheers:

If it doesn't involve a hockey puck, it doesn't catch my interest... but hey, I'm happy for you! :cheers: awww come on shan, you need to broaden your sports horizons!!! Football is a sport I watch and will follow a bit. I couldnt name you all the positions on the field for offense/defense/special teams, but I have the general knowledge for the game. Anyway, that game was AWESOME!!! The lead changed hands 5+ times!!! Vince Young QB ran for 200 yards!!! For the most part it was a clean game, and best of all USC LOST!!!! I cant stand them winning all the time. I grew up in Nor Cal, most of us dont like SoCal teams. As for colleges go Im an ASU fan, and they hate USC too! Did you hear Lienart's comments at the end of the game? ..."We have a better team, but they won"... uhhhh last time I checked, who ever wins the championship game has the better team. But hey who cares? He was just crying like a baby. And I must admit, I read the title to this thread and saw a female started it, and immediately clicked it without thinking...:lol: very clever Itgirl!

It was a good game, even for someone with no interest in either team. And if I was Young I would definitely get into the NFL as soon as I had the chance, because his style of play he could easily get injured in his final college season and blow a ride to the NFL.

And I must admit, I read the title to this thread and saw a female started it, and immediately clicked it without thinking...:lol: very clever Itgirl! thanks! as soon as they won last night i knew i was gonna tag this thread this way, that is if no one beat me to it. i too loved leinart's quote last night. what an ego! :crazy: :bonk: whatever...

I thought it was going to be a m/c horn question :D

thanks! as soon as they won last night i knew i was gonna tag this thread this way, that is if no one beat me to it. i too loved leinart's quote last night. what an ego! :crazy: :bonk: whatever... Is he up for the NFL draft this year? If so, do you think this loss will hurt his chances of getting picked earlier?

No, he will be top 10 I'm sure. Reggie Bush will still go first as well, thats my bet.

There was some kind of upset last night?? I knew after week 2 that Texas was the better team...besides, the Big 12 is tougher conference than Pac 10 this year...

I thought it was going to be a m/c horn question :D :withstupi :lol:

the greatest upset in college football otherwise known as the 2006 rose bowl Are you freakin kidding me? Do you even watch football? Those were two evenly matched teams and they showed that last night. That was about as far away as an upset as you can get. Anyone who watches football and doesn't listen to the tools at ESPN/ABC would understand this concept. It was a decent game, would of been better with overtime. Wouldn't even go as far to call it one of the top 50 games of all time, it was just decent. how many think vince young will actually return to the horns next year? he's crazy if he does. boy, that kid can run! i've never seen a QB run the ball like that. outstanding. Guess you have never seen Mike Vick play, have you? Vick is better rushing QB, I think VY will be along the same caliber as Aaron Brooks, mediocre. He isn't fast enough to do that in NFL. His throwing is Vickish though. He has an arm, but his accuracy is not so good. He puts a lot of balls where the receivers have to stretch out leaving them exposed and could get easily hurt against a pro defense.

I just have to... http://www.twowheelforum.com/photopost/direct_data/500/medium/28untitled09.JPG

:lol: :whistle:

Pac 10 is a weak conference. The only other teams USC has to worry about in their conference is ASU and Oregon, and they were "below average" this year. That was a good game of football...Im leaving it at that :yesnod:

get real! anyone that beats a team with a 34 game win streak is an upset. sure it wasn't as sweet as if it was an unranked team beating them, but i'll take what i can get. i'm glad that is the demise of USC. A #2 team that was ranked at #1 for a week beating the #1 team is hardly the greatest upset in college football. Even the 34 win streak being snap is hardly one of a kind, OSU did it to Miami not but a couple years ago. Remember you didn't just say upset, you said greatest upset ever. It wasn't even close to the greatest upset ever. and i did comment on the way vince young RUNS, not throws. comapre that to someone else once. Mike Vick, Marcus Vick, Randall Cunningham, that dude from West Virginia. There are a bunch of QBs that could easily out strip Young with the amount of protection Young had in the Rose Bowl.

ItGirl you beat me to the thread! I didnt see past halftime, but sportscenter filled me in. Beautiful game and USC lost! hurray! And i see you changed you avatar.... :) thanks for being classy about it. Atleast you could have taken some pride in LSU's cold blooded mauling of Miami (40-3) GasMan... dont forget to put that pic in the Post WHore Thread, Sliced Bread thread, Bevis and Butthead Thread.... etc. :D

:sorry: JK... just had to do it... :lol:

Pac 10 is a weak conference. The only other teams USC has to worry about in their conference is ASU and Oregon, and they were "below average" this year. :rolleyes: Four teams in top 25:whistle: Vince Young hell of college QB, Pro's going to be another story. Not many spread offences in pro's, for very good reason. Pro player much more quicker, plus Young is going to find out pro players are not affraid to tackle him like USC chickens. Mike Vick found out this year what happens after your year of fame as scrambler:lol:

Leinart is a knucklehead. He proved that by coming back for another year...he only cost himself a couple million and a draft spot or 2. He added more evindence to his moron repuatation with his broke-ass comment. Young better get his @$$ to the NFL...or he will be another Leinart.

:rolleyes: Four teams in top 25:whistle: And yet nobody in th PAC-10 had an answer for USC... However I just looked at the stats for Oregon and they were 7-1 conference, so thats not bad. Still no answer for USC Vince Young hell of college QB, Pro's going to be another story. :withstupi probably going to get hurt if he continues to play like that. But they dont just draft a player and throw him in the fire. They do TRAIN AND CONDITION before a season starts you know... Not many spread offences in pro's, for very good reason. Pro player much more quicker, plus Young is going to find out pro players are not affraid to tackle him like USC chickens. Mike Vick found out this year what happens after your year of fame as scrambler:lol: Also note: Michael Vick: Height: 6-0 Weight: 215 lbs Vince Young: Height: 6-5 Weight: 233 lbs Young is bigger than Vick. If young starts training with NFL he will just get bigger and tougher. But who knows. I dont even like college football that much anyway :lol: Leinart is a knucklehead. He proved that by coming back for another year...he only cost himself a couple million and a draft spot or 2. He added more evindence to his moron repuatation with his broke-ass comment. Young better get his @$$ to the NFL...or he will be another Leinart. :iagree: Lienard displayed POORsportsmanship after the games comments in my opinion. You lose, you bow out, say it was a good game and the opponent was a good team, and walk home and cry in your pillow for a few days.

Ok, so now the question is... If you are someone like New Orleans with the #2 draft pick (Bush is #1 for sure), do you now take Leinert or Young?

ItGirl you beat me to the thread! I didnt see past halftime, but sportscenter filled me in. Beautiful game and USC lost! hurray!

LSU shared the title a few years ago, right? i bet they'll be a real powerhouse next year, or at least i hope so. i can't wait!

LSU loses most of the OL and DL. They have a huge QB problem for next season with Perilloux can't spell his name, Russell, and Flynn all battling for the job. Hope that doesn't cause the problems it did with UT this year. They also have a couple underclassmen considering entering the draft. Should be an interesting year for them. I rather enjoyed USC losing as well. I started getting mad when they kept talking about 3-peating as the BCS champions. Even Will Ferrell said it. They never won the BCS game in 03 but somehow that didn't stop ABC/ESPN from saying they did. Worthless AP had to screw LSU over and give them their title, but they didn't do the same when Auburn had a valid claim at the title. It's hard not to say us for LSU, was a tiger fan for so much longer than a Vol fan, but trying to stay faithful to my alma mater even though they stink and have really ugly colors, well yellow and purple isn't the best looking either though. I seem to gravitate to teams with ugly uniforms. Saints aren't too bad looking though.

If it doesn't involve a hockey puck, it doesn't catch my interest... but hey, I'm happy for you! :cheers: We could let them throw the puck at each other :wink: Now that would be interesting :lol: I like hockey and football so....

:iagree: Lienard displayed POORsportsmanship after the games comments in my opinion. You lose, you bow out, say it was a good game and the opponent was a good team, and walk home and cry in your pillow for a few days. Both Lienard and Bush went to Texas locker room after game to congratulate Texas after win, which they didnot have to do. :cheers: TV only wants to see the negatives:crazy:

I can't f'n stand the Longwhorns, but I have all the respect in the world for him and hope he does come back next year. http://www.tuckfexas.com/photos/photos/35.jpg Our off year is done, beat the #2 team in the Pac 10 and the #5 team in the nation when we weren't even ranked. The worst Offensive Coordinator on the planet is off to San Diego State, and the alien Adrian Peterson will be healthy. BOOMER SOONER :bash:

Both Lienard and Bush went to Texas locker room after game to congratulate Texas after win, which they didnot have to do. :cheers: TV only wants to see the negatives:crazy: Did you see the post game where Leinart was asked what happened and he brought up Bush's fumble, their lack of defense, and he questioned Carroll's 4th down call? You don't question your head coach in a press conference like that! Not once did he say, "You know, I had 2 delay of games that were my fault, I audibled to a QB sneak and didn't get a first down, and I threw a pick. I f'd up." He just placed the blame elsewhere. If he wasn't so busy in clubs groping women and getting slapped instead of busting his ass like Young, he might have not made those mistakes. Doesn't matter, they were done the moment this issue came out. . :lol: http://espn-att.starwave.com/i/insider/insiderMagIndex/mag_08292005.jpg

Ok, so now the question is... If you are someone like New Orleans with the #2 draft pick (Bush is #1 for sure), do you now take Leinert or Young? i would probably take leinert before young only because i would think you'd want a QB with more accuracy instead of one that is a good runner. the NFL already has trained veterans to do the running of the ball. vince was good at running the ball for sure, but in the big game i think leinert's arm was more accurate. but that's just my opinion...

Both Lienard and Bush went to Texas locker room after game to congratulate Texas after win, which they didnot have to do. :cheers: TV only wants to see the negatives:crazy: this is not a case of media distortion. when the mic was in leinert's face, he clearly said he thought USC was the better team out there, regardless of the score. it is his :bonk: comment, the media had nothing to do with that. they should have congratulated texas, that's what sportmanship is all about.

Losing alot of leadership. rhumor has it that Flynn was considering going to another school to get some playing time. Fresh off the peach bowl, now we really dont know. Nothing will be easy for Les. And dont worry about split loyality, i pull for LSU, Nebraska (born there) and the saints. I have no idea who the saints should draft with the 2nd pick. Leinart is dirty (usc) and young isnt a prototypical NFL prospect. Hey, next year we get to discuss the Plus One Bowl System!

They gave up 14 points to lose in the final 5 minutes. End of story, USC's Cinderella one pete is over. :yikes:

Texas fans hate it b/c their honeymoon is over, but he's smart for going. He'll never be able to top that NC game and his stock will only drop. Leinart would have went 1st last year, but now he dropped a couple spots wish could be worth $5mm to $10mm. :crazy:

VY did the right thing. Some moronic NFL team will pick him up for loads of money to find out he is the second coming of Aaron Brooks and will be a mediocre QB. I don't think Lienart will drop hardly at all and probably could go before VY. Did you watch the second half? He went nuts and completed 90-something% of his passes against the #6 defense in the country. VY on the other hand got all his yardage on one of the worst defenses in the country and played all his games in a really weak Big 12 conference. I know who I would choose as my QB. It definitely wouldn't be the slower version of Ron Mexico.

It definitely wouldn't be the slower version of Ron Mexico. Leinart didn't do **** when it was on the line. Delay of games, INT, misreads, etc. He was #1 last year, hands down. He dropped this year, anyone that watches can tell you that. I can't stand Texas or Young, but Young has 10x the arm as Vick. Leinart played in a pathetic Pac 10, had Bush for teams to focus on, and his completion % or QB rating weren't as high as Young's. Big 12 is down, Pac 10 is weaker. The mighty 1 loss #2 pac 10 Oregon Ducks got beat by an unranked Oklahoma, Big 12 #3. lol

VY has the same arm, same accuracy as Vick and is slower. He is bigger however so can take a hit better than Vick. Which pretty much is Aaron Brooks. Leinart will make a better NFL QB. Both most likely won't be good and probably will be backups or not playing in a few years. Leinart didn't do **** when it was on the line. Everytime a big pass needed to be made it was, except in the Rose Bowl after petey blew all the timeouts and couldn't give him a good final play. He made plays when they needed to be made or they wouldn't of won 34 straight games. I am not a fan of USC or Texas, I am just stating my opinion from watching the Rose Bowl and last years bowls because I very rarely watched either team during the regular season. The QB that needs to go first is Jay Cutler. That boy played in the a strong SEC defensive year and played extraordinary for a sucky team. I would chose him above both VY and leinart.

I've watched almost every game both teams have played in the past two years, and for Young, three. Vick would live up to the hype if he was half as accurate as Young. Young's only problem right now is that he doesn't have a whole lot of touch on his deep ball. People say he's a running QB. Look at his stats this year, he's far from it. It just happens that if he has to, he'll burn a defense with his feet. Vick throws harder, but with much less accuracy. Leinart, we'll see if he's better than Young in the NFL in a few years. As for now, he definitely lost a spot or two in the draft.

They both obviously suck though, otherwise thay would be a Michigan quarterback :D

They both obviously suck though, otherwise thay would be a Michigan quarterback :D Michigan.. isn't that the one team that got beat by Nebraska in their bowl game? :D

I agree Vol. Jay Cutler should leapfrog one of them. A good QB with a poor team against good D. I think he'll have more to prove when he enters the NFL. ML, or VY might try to get by on their college success for a while. And did Bush declare yet?

Um. Texas wouldn't have one if that touchdown was reviewed. The one where Young lateralled the ball when he was on his knee. I'm not saying texas sucks but that's just an observation i made. I'm not sure what down it was, they could've scored anyway but that TD should've gotten called back.

The replay officials said their monitor screwed up that play. The officials sucked for that game. That makes sense then. I didn't know that.

That makes sense then. I didn't know that. Yea I think it was 1st or 2nd down and goal anyway...probably would have scored next down.

I'm not sure what down it was, they could've scored anyway but that TD should've gotten called back. It should have been called back, no doubt. Texas rushed it to get the PAT off before the refs reviewed it and they shanked it. Woulda coulda shoulda, there were ****ty calls all bowl season. Bottom line is USC had a 12 point lead late in the 4th and they didn't put Texas away. I can think of 3 bowl games that had worse officiating than this one. Jay Cutler = product of a system. He'll be another flop like Alex Smith and isn't in the same league as Leinart or Young, IMO. He had 21 TDs and 9 INTs this year. That's not very good, I don't care who you play for.

Michigan.. isn't that the one team that got beat by Nebraska in their bowl game? :D Ouch, Pig. Ouch. :D :lol:

Ouch, Pig. Ouch. :D :lol: Just messing around, I had Michigan in that game. :lol: Anyone that thinks the refs in the Rose Bowl were bad obviously didn't see your bowl game. :lol: Texas still sucks, VY is leaving, and their honeymoon is over. :D http://www.tuckfexas.com/photos/photos/35.jpg
