Rose Bowl----Your Pick?
« on: January 03, 2006, 09:15:57 PM »
24 Hours from now some of us will be pulling the levers on our Lazy-boy chairs as the cannons of the kickoff ring out across Southern California as the BCS Extravaganza gets underway.

I am a Oklahoma Sooner fan so you can imagine my plight when it comes to picking my team for the Rose Bowl this year.

On one hand we have OU's bitter rival, Texas. With a QB like Vince Young, you know it will be a good game.  Strong Defence is going to be their #1 priority. Making sure Young has the room to move around and execute his 'Vick Style' offense, will come a close second. Agreat team all year but never really put to the test IMO.

On the other hand we have the team that made OU look like a bad pee wee league team in last year's BCS Championship game. With a one-two punch running game, a laser guided missle for a QB and a defence that I think doesn't warm up until the second half, the Trojans of USC come into the game mildly favored. Twice this year I have watched USC weasel out of losses (Arizona State (I attended this one) and Notre Dame) and come out looking like a rosey apple. Usc has proven (to me) that they have what it takes to be the BCS Champs again this year.

So whats your take? What name is on your foam finger?

:D

I'm gonna go out on a limb here, and say it'll be a three-way matchup between the Brewers, the Steelers, and the Winterhawks.  That's what my heart says, anyway.

As a Texan , living near and working in Austin , born here and raised here , and a Longhorn Fan all my life , I'll pick the Horns.

I think they have just as many weapons as USC , just not the notority. I don't think it will be a blowout , but who knows. Texas hasn't had the best track record after a week or so off.

I have the grill ready. Gonna be 80 here tomorrow. Burgers , Elgin Hot Sausage , and Shrimp Diablos.

I hope it's a good game. Win or Lose for Texas I hope they play well. If they play well and lose , then USC was TRULY the better team.

No offense to OU. They just came out flat , made a couple of turnovers and gave USC the boost they needed to roll em. Happens.

so in closing.............

USC

The most dominant team in years, imo. They did have their bad games though.
