ROSE BOWL CHAMPIONS 2005
AKA also-rans.
Mack Brown got his big game, and he pulled it off. Probably the best coached game I have seen from him. When adversity arose, he did not swallow his nuts, he stayed with what was working. Well done.
Up yours Duff!!!!!!
Is this you Duff?????????????
Don't forget Lloyd Carr, that might have been the worst clock management I've ever seen in a football game, be it HS, college, or pro.
Yipee. They barely manged to beat a team that didn't even deserve to be playing in a BCS Bowl. Color me unimpressed.
Horns or Cal & BCS made right choice. Mack had the balls to go to bat for his team & his team had balls to pull it out. Game a mile better than Fietsa Bowl. That was actually the "Should These Teams be in the BCS?" Bowl. Horns WON their bowl game & didn't embarass themsleves on nat'l TV like another couple of sad Big 12 teams. SEC & Big 10 PIMPED Big 12 teams that are true "NEVER BEEN IN THE RUNNING" teams. Could amway score in double digits next year? PLEASE!?!?! Oh well, Horns doing something right if they still have jealous haters.They barely manged to beat a team that didn't even deserve to be playing in a BCS Bowl. Color me unimpressed.
Jealous Haters? Now that's funny. The Horns have been nothing short of major underacheivers for years now. What's there to be jealous of? They FIANLLY made it to their big bowl game and struggled against a Michigan team that should have been playing in a lesser bowl game. One of the worst Michigan teams in recent memory. I seriously epected a Longhorn blowout.
Don't let the fact that it was the Rose Bowl fool you. The only reason Michigan was picked is because their fans travel well. It's all about the might y dollar. Otherwise there would be a playoff system by now.
You know what the sad thing is? For a team that's so overrated by Hook Dem, their "Big Bowl Game" wasn't even for the national le. What a joke.
so if the Longhorns don't win by a certain margin...its a bad thing? Hey a win is a win. If Texas had lost you would be all over them, and rightfully so. They still have something to prove, beat OU. Just because YOU thought it should have been a blowout, doesn't make it any lesser of a win.
If they struggle against a team that shouldn't even be in said bowl game, yes it is a bad thing.
When you consider that Texas has had the talent to be playing for the national championship for the last 2 years, it IS a lesser win. When you consider that they struggled against a team that had no business playing in the Rose Bowl, it makes it even more so. But that's just my opinion. I don't love the Horns or hate em. I just keep up with them. And I'd be a little disappointed after years of National Champioship talk.Hey a win is a win.... Just because YOU thought it should have been a blowout, doesn't make it any lesser of a win.
Why shouldn't they be in that bowl game? They qualified by winning their conference. They followed the rules. When you consider that Texas has had the talent to win big games and up this point they had not, the fact that they got the chance they asked for and delivered, makes it a big win.
The Longhorns win, they get ripped up.
They loose they get ripped up.
Am I the only one that things anything that Mack Brown and this team does, will get critisized???
My question is, is Vince Young good enough for the Pros??
Or is he another Antwan Randle El.
Well, if nothing else, they won. They didn't pull an A&M or OSU. If OU can win, Big 12 goes 5-2.
No way Young makes it in the pro's. He sidearmes the ball too much.
I guess you Longhorn fans are just happy to get the monkey of your backs. Which is understandable. But I look at all those top recruiting classes and can't help but wonder what the they're doing playing in the Rose Bowl. Struggling against a team that can't even beat an Ohio St team that was playing in the Alamo Bowl. But I guess that's just me.
I agree with you about the underachieving and no one has been a bigger critic of Mack Brown than I but I have seen Texas lose too many of these games so I don't see this as small of a step as you do. This is the kind of game that can take the program to the next level....but as long as they continue to stumble against OU, they will not be there.
About Young, if he gets his throwing motion corrected, he can be another Michael Vick but right now, you are right....way too sidearm.
Randle El is a wide receiver....Young is a quarterback. Aside from being black, that's about the only thing they have in common....but I guess it's all the same to you.
He was referring to the fact that in college, Randle El played quarterback.
If he was referring to that...then what does he mean? Are you implying that Randle El couldn't cut it as a QB? If so then you're right...but if you're saying he'll be nothing like Randle El then you are sadly mistaken.
Randle El is a very good player on a great Pittsburgh team.
He wasn't implying that Randle El couldn't cut it as a QB. Bill Cowher and NFL scouts did. That is why he is primarily a reciever.
Neither Young or McNeal will go that high. McNeal isn't gonna amount to squat in the NFL.
I groaned when UT extended Brown's contract...I still think he needs to spend the rest of his career kissing Vince Young and Dusty Magnum's respective asses..
But give the man and the Horns their due...they finally won a big bowl game...first time since I was a young kid in the 70's..that UT has done me proud against a true top flight opponent in a post season bowl.
I've had the same feeling every year since about 76 or 77(maybe 78) and that Joe Montana CottonBowl that I listened to on a transistor radio...damn, I am still in shock.
And all you guys bagging on Michigan are crazy...they might have lost three games but that team is freaking loaded with talent.
UT 1-0 against Blue...Love it.
Now they just need to fix that Notre Dame problem while the fixing is good.
Maybe they've finally turned the corner...I'll try to be openminded...try to remember that even Royal didn't start winning National les overnight...it took him a while.
Could've fooled me but unless UT is doing something right nobody would hate them. ---I don't love the Horns or hate em. I just keep up with them. And I'd be a little disappointed after years of National Champioship talkYou haven't mentioned squat of your fav team so your team must be nowhere to be heard of. Oh, let me guess! Your team is USC or ou? Now THAT is funny! ---What's there to be jealous of?ALL bowl games except 1 are for the BCS Nat'l Championship. I thought that was common sense..I guess not. ---You know what the sad thing is? For a team that's so overrated by Hook Dem, their "Big Bowl Game" wasn't even for the national le. What a joke.Uhhhh, yeah. Every other team in a bowl game was bteer than Mich.If they struggle against a team that shouldn't even be in said bowl game, yes it is a bad thing---
Please stick to the Beatles because you've just shown the extent of your football knowledge.Randle El is a wide receiver....Young is a quarterback. Aside from being black, that's about the only thing they have in common....but I guess it's all the same to you.
Of course common sense would lead one to know I meant ALL bowl games except 1 AREN'T for the BCS Nat'l Championship.ALL bowl games except 1 are for the BCS Nat'l Championship
