Game is about a minute away. So, here we go...

I'm picking USC, although I'll be rooting for whoever is behind at the moment, as I usually do when I have absolutely no rooting loyalties.

I have this weird feeling* that Texas is going to blow out USC.

*weird feeling means that I base this on very little knowledge and will probably be wrong.

jf7623 · 01-04-2006, 09:10 PM

go Texas, end that winning streak of 34 by USC.

Texas 34 USC 27

twins15 · 01-04-2006, 09:12 PM

USC 38-31.

And they better win, I have $5 on it! I just hope it's close.

Elendil · 01-04-2006, 09:13 PM

I want Texas to win but think USC probably will. Dual-action quarterbacks usually don't win games by themselves.

Any recommendations on what to watch during halftime? Halftime shows are always teh suk.

Just out of curiosity. In the pre-BCS days, who would Texas have played?

I assume USC would have played Ohio State. Would Texas have played Auburn?

Greg Layton · 01-04-2006, 09:17 PM

Texas 28
USC 20

You heard it here first.

Rangersfan · 01-04-2006, 09:18 PM

ive got $30 On Texas. I just have a feeling USC's run is going to come to an end tonight.

Texas 30 USC 21

I usually think the National Anthem sounds awful, but LeAnn Rimes did a nice job.

Greg Layton · 01-04-2006, 09:20 PM

I'm tired of talk, lets see football.

Greg Layton · 01-04-2006, 09:20 PM

dola,

USC would have played Penn St
Texas against either Georgia, Florida St, West Virginia, LSU, Miami, or OSU

Skipaway · 01-04-2006, 09:29 PM

Heh, great way to start a game of two great teams.

abailey3313 · 01-04-2006, 09:29 PM

Way to fumble.

IatricSB · 01-04-2006, 09:31 PM

God I hate showboating. On the fumbled punt return, a USC player (89?) laid a nice hit on the runner. He jumps up, raises his hands, and starts dancing around. Meanwhile, the ball is on the ground right behind him. Thankfully it didn't cost anything.

Greg Layton · 01-04-2006, 09:42 PM

Guh, you have to punt there.
