Okay, Denizens, it’s time for a reality check.  ‘Specially for Youze Guyz™ who are going apeshit over the fact that Texas University now posesses a Waterford Crystal™ football.
Let’s get one thing straight right now:  TU ain’t as good as USC – I don’t give a rat’s-assed flying fuck what  the score was last week, mkay?
The fact is this:  USC beat themselves – with unforced turnovers and poor coaching calls.
People’s Exhibit Numero Uno (a little Spanish lingo, there):  2nd quarter, USC driving, Leinart passes to Bush, who rumbles for 35 yards – and then inexplicably tries to lateral the ball instead of doing the smart thing and going down.
The Trojans would very likely have scored a touchdown on that drive – or at the very least, a field goal.  Instead, TU took the ball and drove for a field goal.
Six point swing right there.  What was the final margin again?
People’s Exhibit Number Two:  Fourth quarter, USC ball, fourth-and-two at the TU 45.  The play call is LenDale White off left tackle – the very play TU admitted later that it was expecting, because “they hadn’t stopped it all night”.  They did that time, for one yard.
If Leinart fakes the handoff and bootlegs, with TU selling out up the middle, he gains the two yards (and probably then some), USC kills the clock, and a horde of T-sips are crying in their orange beer all the way home to Sixth Street.
So don’t give me this bullshit about how TU whipped USC’s ass, mkay?  You and I both  know that that’s a crock.
TU was damned lucky to escape from Pasadena with a three-point victory.  Play that game again and the Trojans whip Bevo’s lard ass up the field and right back down.
Don’t get me wrong – TU has a very good team (They should, given how much money goes into that program – if you catch my drift).  But they’re not as good as USC, and that’s the fact, Jack.
So enjoy your Waterford Crystal™ football, TU.  But now that Vinny’s going pro, I wouldn’t count on another one for a while.

The Condoms choked, pure and simple.
Plus, great teams win close games. The Cattle won TWO close games this year, against GREAT teams, so, the Mobile Steaks deserved this win.
Doesn’t make me happy, though. Orange is a sickening color, and I would rather cheer for “the Rainbows” than “The Cows with Pointy Heads”.
I’m not saying they didn’t.  I’m just getting a lot of “Check the final score, baby” up here.  From folks whom you’d think might know better.
