Rose Bowl tonight! one for the ages?

[infinitefurby]

Tonight's Rose Bowl with No.1 USC vs. No.2 Texas should be amazing. Personally, I'm rooting for Texas as I always love the underdog. Anyone else have a pick? It starts at 5pm Pacific on ABC tonight. Time to go out for a six pack!

I can't wait for this game!!!

I haven't been this excited about a football game... since last years rose bowl!

Me too. I always root for the team that is either not expected to win or behind. I have no problems swiching sides in the middle of the game. It is no fun to cheer for a team that is way ahead.

TROJAN DOMINANCE, fight on!

Time for National Championship #12!

On a more serious note: Any of you Longhorns worried that Vince might jump to the NFL since his hometown Texans have the #1 pick? Can't think of a much better fit, and I'm sure someone would relieve them of David Carr (NY Jets anyone?).

I am pulling for Texas but that is because I live there, I would not exactly call them underdogs either, It should be a great game.

What is your guy's guess on the combined point total?

I'm guessing they break 90 lol

it's going to have to be really good to beat last night's orange bowl. man, that was an amazing game, even though my beloved Seminoles lost.

I concur, one hell of a game, not quite like Miami/Ohio State back in 2001 or 2002 I believe it was, but still one hell of a game. The Seminoles played their hearts out, Penn State should have dominated them but FSU played like Champs, kudos to them.

i think FSU played extraordinarily well considering they had about half their players healthy, and what players they had were freshmen. i knew, however, that the missed extra point would bite them in the ass. i can't complain, however, and considering how PSU has played the past couple years, i think that JoePa deserved the win; he is a class act. go Texas, btw

ESPN just simulated the game on NCAA 2006, with USC winning 42 - 24

David Carr is actually pretty good, he just needs alot more protection in the pocket. One game, he got sacked like 9 times? Crazy.

My vote goes to the Texas, and they win by a large point margin too. USC struggled against several teams this year, but still won (Fresno St, Notre Dame, etc). I think Texas's 50 points per game offense will just plain outscore them

Oh I agree he has been royally screwed by the management there who has not given him any competant blockers. I watched Carr in person at Fresno State for years, and he really has a rocker for an arm. I'm sure somebody would want him if the Texans management wants to go in another direction (especially one that would probably help boost interest/ticket sales/marketing by having a "homegrown hero" like VY at QB). I think Carr would have much better chances for success on a good team than some of the other QB's in similar positions like Aaron Brooks, Joey Harrington, etc.
