And USC's Leinhart shows why USC stands for ...
University of Spoiled Children or that he is a dumbass. Said Leinart: "I still think we're a better football team. They just made the plays in the end." [link|http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/football/ncaa/specials/bowls/2005/01/04/rose.bowl/index.html|http://sportsillustr...e.bowl/index.html] Honestly, the hubris of USC students, faculty and staff would make an Ivy Leaguer blush. bcnu,

Everyone's entitled to their opinion...
...even if it's just been proven wrong.
Sorry, Matt. You're *not* the better team, and the rest of the world knows it. Boo hoo.
Seriously, that's gotta be the stupidest post-game sore-loser quote EVAR. I hope VY stays in school and Texas runs the table next year. Another 13-0 season, and then VY will be something like 43-2 as a starter, and everyone can swoon over him like the meeja's been doing over Leinart's (now) 37-2 record.

lets see, early in the first quarter, 30yard run 10 yards to
goal and dumass laterals to the ground. Yup better football all right.

I'd be tempted to support that claim
once UT finally stops being cowards and play some quality non-conference opponents at the beginning of each season.
Louisiana-Lafayette annually? What a fucking joke.
Somebody call up Mack Brown, loan him a set of balls, and have him play Notre Dame, Penn State, anybody that's a GOOD team to start a season, and I might change my mind.
Oh yeah - Young gets 200 yards on the ground, because he was scrambling to avoid getting sacked since the Trojan defense was doing such a good job on shutting down his pass options. Any team where the quarterback outruns his fullbacks and halfbacks by a 2 to 1 margin is not worhty of being called champion...they only get to call themselves "lucky".

Three words: Ohio State Buckeyes.
Dumbass, read the schedule. 25-22, on the road, in the Horseshoe. Home-and-home series, and OSU comes to Austin next year. They might actually win, too, since VY has now declared for the '06 draft. Can't say I blame him one bit, either.

Play them EVERY year
and I might accept your point of view. Until then, UT takes the typical coward's way out of refusing to face QUALITY non-conference competition, each and every year, under Mack Brown.
BTW dumbass, how good was the quality of the Big 12 this year?

Comparing a whole state to a city?
C'mon Box, I thought that you were more intelligent than that.
Besides, Chicago is a college basketball town.

The Maroons are just waiting for the right moment.
They can (IIRC) rejoin the Big 10 at any time and [link|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Chicago#Sports_and_traditions|regain their rightful glory].
Or something like that. ;-)

If you had a clue...
...You would know that college football non-conference schedules are created 4-5 years in advance. Yes, Mack has been coach at Texas for 8 years. Due to the lead-time for these non-conference games, some teams were scheduled at the height of their run, and then faded prior to actually facing the Longhorns (North Carolina 2001/2002?). Others are simply good games: Arkansas 03/04, OSU 05/06.
Does Texas schedule cream puffs? Of course they do. Every good football team does, since in college ball, there's no pre-season. What about USC this year? Who'd they play out-of-conference? Hawaii? Arkansas? (Note: I'll admit that the Arkansas game was likely scheduled when Arkansas was a better team than they were this year.) Yes, they also played Gonzaga and ND. ND might as well be a conference game for them, since the two always play -- just as OU and Texas did every year before the invention of the Big 12 in 1996.
Sum record of Big 12 opponents faced by Texas this year: 52-42. (9 conference games, including 2 against Colorado.) 0.553 winning percentage.
Sum record of Pac 10 opponents faced by USC this year: 49-43. (8 conference games.) 0.532 winning percentage.
So the quality of Big 12 opponents (even counting both games against Colorado) was higher than what USC faced in the Pac 10.
Texas' record from 2000-2005? 65-11. Percentage? 0.855.
Texas' record from 1998-2005 (since Mack Brown started coaching)? 83-19. Percentage? 0.814.
I'll take that any day of the week, and twice on Sunday.

Well, he was just a couple of inches short of being right
Great comeback by the Horns, but it was a very close game. Could've gone either way. Vince Young had a great game but the USC defense sucks. The USC offense was playing a much better defense and they still managed to put up a lot of points.

Point stands.
If USC were truly "the better team" they would have won. Keep in mind USC has always enjoyed playing their bowl games at home. That counts for more than a little.
And His Holiness is just the spoiled brat, piss poor loser that all people associated with USC are. I've been there. Walk around Westwood for a single hour and you'll know why I detest them and all their ilk. Had a really good friend go there on a full ride baseball scholarship - stayed in Troy Hall. He transferred to Cal State after one term - said he just couldn't stand the people and their views on non-USC'ers.

walk the "40 acres"

Covers the whole state in fact.
