Maybe you saw Chris Fowler spinning after ABC signed off. He looked like somebody killed his puppy. And Herbstreit hung that whole "USC best team in history" crap on him also. Corso is two-faced - he tries to be a fan of whichever team has fans screaming now his neck in the background. What a joke. Almost makes you long for Lou Holtz and Mark May. Almost.
Lou Holtz a class act. :D
I think that Mark May is the most intelligent and well spoken analyst on ESPN. He isn't very charasmatic but he knows how to get his point across and doesn't seem to be a fanboy of any team.
To his credit, Herbstreet (sp?) is pretty fair and pretty well spoken. Corso is right about 50% of the time because he just guesses.
Fowler had been saying all day that Texas would win. Corso also predicted Texas pre-game.
Hook-em Horns!!!!!!!!!
What an amazing team - they beat Ohio State and USC at home, with the game last night undoubtedly the greatest game I have ever seen, and the greatest individual performance I have ever seen.
The great hope circulating on the bulletin boards in Austin is that Vince may stay because he believes he deserves top 5 money, but only one of the top five NFL teams is likely to draft a QB. There is no guarantee that he'd go above Matt Leinart, and Vince would love to help UT repeat as National Champs, and oh by the way win the Heisman that he deserved this year. Since it's a bad draft for QBs he may wait.
Vince has studied film hard, and made great strides as a QB. He checked off 3 receivers before scrambling for the last TD run, and although most folks don't know it he has been doing that all season. He wants to play QB, and I think his raw talent combined with the competitve fire in his belly will make him a great NFL QB. He'll do whatever it takes to make that happen.
I turned off Keith "PAC-10" Jackson and listened to our boys on KVET 1300 during the game, even though they were ~1 second ahead. Even after the game ESPN started scrolling that this was the first undisputed National Championship for UT since '69, but they never did say that about USC's 2004 "title" while ESPN was fellating USC during the entire month of December. Freakin' yahoos.
I was 10 years old in 1969, and clearly remember Street to Peschel in the 15-14 win over Beelzebubba's state. It's been a long 35 years since the 1970 shared title, and I REALLY enjoyed sharing the joy of this victory with my wife and 3 sons last night!
Hook-em, and God Bless Texas.
