The replay official has to signal the field refs. Like UT or not, that was an unbelievable game and an even more unbelievable performance by Vince Young. Bush is special, but Young should have won the Heisman.

Also, why would this have been a three peat for USC? LSU won the BcS title two years ago.

Hats off to Texas, because they played a heck of a game. Especially happy for Jim, who has gotta be the happiest guy on this board right now.

For me, though, this one will always have an asterisk next to it, like Ohio State-Miami. To not even review the non-touchdown that sparked Texas... that's just sad to me. I have to wonder how much different this game is if that call is overturned and SC holds them to a field goal on that drive. But we'll never know, because it didn't work out that way.

Again, though. Great win for Texas. Glad to see that we'll start off next season playing the national champions. As Dan Campbell said on the Ticket the other day, it just makes us look all that much better when we take it to them.

Fantastic game. Here's to hoping Vince decides to enter the draft; he looked unbelievable in that game and should be a top 5 pick.

So what's the point spread for NT/UT in the September season opener? And now we have to sit thru all the NC hoopla before the game. I hate burnt orange! dry.gif

Few things live up to the hype, but this game did live up to the hype.

I think the spread on the game is all dependent on if Vince Young is back in a burnt orange jersey next year. If he is, I wouldn't be surprised if the spread was higher than 40.

Wow.

I didn't think I'd see a better Rose Bowl than last year, but my God... I actually was wondering if I was having a heart attack with about 4 minutes in the 4th.

What a great team USC had. Those guys are the real deal, and I thought Texas was going to lose this game. LenDale White was just punishing the Texas DL, and Leinart was incredible.

What a credit to the Texas defense to stop USC on the fourth down play. I thought the Texas DL might have given up.

Vince Young is the most amazing college player I've ever seen. 4th and 5 from the 8???? SICK!!!

Yes, I'm very happy, and I'm not going to gloat too much on a UNT board, but thanks for the kind words, you guys. biggrin.gif

Did anyone else know Texas had the most National Merit Scholars only 2nd to Harvard?  That was pretty impressive.

No, but considering the Startlegram reported in 2000 that tU's endowement at $6.8 Billion was second only to Harvard' $8 Billion so it doesn't surprise me.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
