GlennCongratulations to the Texas Longhorns for their 800th victory. I don't think I've ever been happier from a sporting event than I was last night.
I want to point out that if the refs had gotten the call right on Vince's knee, the 'horns would then have had a 1st a goal and therefore about an 88% chance of scoring a TD anyway. If, however, the refs had gotten the call correct on Leinart's INT, Texas would have had the ball at mid-field and USC would have scored 0 on that drive rather than the 3 they ended up getting.
I do hope Vince stays in Austin, if for no other reason to avoid the ignominy of being drafted by my current home-team Texans or my real home-team Saints, but it does look like he'll leave now -- still, they said the same thing about Ricky Williams when I was there.
And I have to agree with Dan. The 1995 Huskers were the best college team I've ever seen, by a pretty wide margin in fact. They regularly beat good teams by 50 points. I read at the time that Nebraska would have been a 1 TD underdog at a neutral site if they played the NY Jets. I would've taken the points. But after last night I am, for the first time, willing to say that I've seen a more impressive performance from a QB than what Tommie Frazier did to the Gators 10 years ago.
I've even forgiven Mack Brown for starting Chris Simms all those years, and that is saying something.
My brother-in-law played for my second favorite team, LSU, two years ago, and that was great. But now I'm just ecstatic. I was happy to see Leon started a thread for us.
20 game win streak and counting...
