Another huge 1st down!

This late, they're all huge, idiot.

BCS and AP voted different teams for their national championship award. For years there have been 2 awards, and that year one group gave the mythical title to LSU, one to USC. So unless somehow UT gets a stop here, USC will win a 3rd national championship.

You LSU'er's should be happy that you got at least 1 of the 2 nat'l champ trophies awarded that year. USC would have whipped your butts all over the field had ya'll met.

Not Texas Freeper here, still watching, wondering if anyone but Vince was going to step up for UT to help him. One man vs. Southern Cal tonight.

[Rummyfan]

All I need is some CADDYSHACK thrown in and my evening would be complete!

[diamond6]

Improtant third down.

[JCEccles]

Texas needs a defenseive stop NOW.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Indeed. The two wouldn't guarantee a win.

[Rte66]

Hey, I *win* either way.

[Palmetto]

Uh, PASSING on 2nd down???

[texas booster]

Technically there was no National Champ before the BCS.

Unless all of the major polls agreed unanimously, everyone bought a beer and argued over who was really the best team.

See how much has changed?

[Callahan]

BIG STOP

[Dashing Dasher]

Look, these parades you throw are very expensive. You using my police, my sanitation people, and my Oldsmobiles free of charge. So, if you mention extortion again, I'll have your legs broken.

It would have been a six point lead. Then, if Texas scores a TD, but misses the extra point, the game goes to OT.

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

Texas needs a stop.

[connectthedots]

Going to try and draw Texas off side. If they can't. punting is the only real option.

[SShultz460]

Good Stop. See if they stop 'em on 4th down

[hole_n_one]

4th and 2

I say go for it!

[Colonel_Flagg]

Also true. It's just that I don't see USC playing for three points here.

I'm going to give you a little advice. There's a force in the universe that makes things happen. And all you have to do is get in touch with it, stop thinking, let things happen, and be the ball.
