Glad Texas won; it's just too bad they did it with blown calls. Won't be a clean win; it will always be referred to as the Ref's victory.

Bravo Sierra. Get your head out of your butt.

Good Lord, it was just a joke.

[Hurricane Andrew]

Of course he did. He's a pompus you know what. I hope he plays his NFL career out somewhere like Houston and gets sacked 60 times a year for 10 years. A bit of humility would serve him well.

Man I love Longhorn Baseball too!

This was the most awesome game. Vince Young is amazing.
Reggie Bush is pure magic. Watching them both was a pleasure.

[Palmetto]

Nice to meet you. We look really good for next year.

Okay....Vince or Reggie, #1 draft pick???

Vince can stick around, and win the Heisman. THEN be all alone as the #1 in '07.

[Txsleuth]

I agree with you...

What an incredible two nights of football. I am so glad Texas won. Young has me sold and I hope he declares. I'm a bit disappointed in Leinart's comments that 'we are the better football team'. Perhaps he would like to play again and take another beating?

Thank you.

What's that? Texazz hadn't won a national championship since WHO was their COACH?

OH, would that be Darrell Royal? Why, yes.

A SOONER!!!

Ha !You beat me!

As a non football fan, I watched most the game. Great game, great entertainment, so much talent, great changes of fortune. Fantastic. Despite or perhaps because I a left coaster, I enjoy the underdog pulling it out for the brass ring. Congrats to Texas.

Knowing the AP, they might still vote USC #1.

I think it could go either way; if TU had beat USC by more than six points, I think they'd be the runaway on this. But no review on that one touchdown... Flip a coin, you'll probably come up with an accurate prediction.

Yeah, nice of Mike to come back after his disappearance. I'm still here.

[Bogey78O]

Two teams battling into triple overtime with solid play by both. Can't top that.

I think USC's QB would be the best first pick. Running backs don't last as long due to knee injuries. Vince Young is a one man show, a la' Vick/McNabb. They never amount to much in Pros. Need a team player who is all around.
