Rose Bowl

Well, its finally upon us!!!

USC Trojans Vs Texas Longhorns

This game has been hyped so much over recent weeks and I have no doubt that it will live to its billing!!!

My bold prediction is for Reggie Bush to run for 2 TDs and to catch one also!

Since people are saying its Leinhart and Bush Vs Young i am going to say 2:1 the Trojans win 33 - 17

I think texas will offer some defence and will sneak it

At 10:00 left, and Texas just kicked a field goal on a possesion that was a gift, I've got a feeling USC is going to roll. We've seen them do this for two years now.

Texas is good though, it is a hell of a game. Did the Orange Bowl get broadcast in Ireland??

Wow!

If I were a USC alumn/fan I'd feel robbed. 1 BS TD call, and a freaking handout by the refs, under review, on what really was an interception.

Still, a heck of a game.

If Vince Young gets drafted any later than 2nd I'll be very surprised.

200yds rushing and 3 TD's!!:eek:

Well, I am running on empty after watching that one but I am glad I was wrong about the result!

Texas and Vince Young deserved that! What a brilliant game!!!

How he has no heissman is a ****ing travesty

I've got a good idea, the Zebra's screwed Oregon on two called back touchdowns, one on a lame penalty, and one on a lame penalty after the back was 5 yards into the endzone. USC would probably have still one that one, but, 14 points can change the entire nature of the game. Imagine all the people in Vegas that got screwed when Oregon covered the spread, just not on the final score board.

Although, I don't feel bad about ND getting ripped. Everytime they are in a BCS bowl, they've screwed someone out of it.:)

Maybe I misheard, but did the touchline reporter really say "thanks Vince" to Matt Leinart after the immediate post-game "we were the better team" interview? Talk about rubbing it in

Watched the game, and saw a lot of the bowls, have NASN in the house.

Granted a lucky escape for Vince's offload in the tackle to Selvin Young for the TD; his knee was definitely down. I still think Texas played the more exciting game, purely because I like a passing game more than a rushing game, although Leinhart threw for more yards, Vince Young just looked like he was going to make some crazy thing happen.

Reggie Bush has played better, in fact I would even go as far as saying that he was outshone the Trojans other running back, LenDale White, although White did have more carries, probably cause Bush was a marked man. The Longhorns secondary is so quick its unreal.

I see it had the highest TV ratings since 1987, and there's no question, when you watch some of the drivel in the NFL, College FB is far more exciting to watch. I even explained the rules to my 19 year old sister and she's hooked!

My disappointment was with my team, Notre Dame, who were completely blown out by the Buckeyes. I watched that as well, and was hoping that they would at least get a tie and force overtime, but Ohio were excellent. Fair play to them.

Its annoying that ND games never seem to be on during the regular season, its probably becuase of their contract with NBC for their live regular season games.

It seems that NBCs only presence in Ireland for now is the bloody CNBC Europe channel, which is a load of sh1te (even for a business follower) except for Leno & O'Brien.
