Texas, USC, Notre Dame, Ohio State. Bobby Bowden and Joe Pa. BCS matchups at least sound good.

Saying I “want to dominate” USC doesn’t really constitute talking trash IMO.

Vince was on PTI yesterday for their “Five Good Minutes” segment. Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon ask him about his frustration during the A&M game, how important the Heisman is to him, his childhood, whether he’s headed to the pros, and more. The university definitely has turned on the PR machine the last week or so for his Heisman campaign. He’s been on TV at least twice (Best Damn and PTI) and made the covers of both ESPN the Magazine and Sports Illustrated. I’m sure he’s done the national sports radio rounds as well. Let’s hope the media takes notice and then he goes out on Saturday and shows them of what he’s capable of.

Funny version of Bud Light commercials mocking Jackson and most announcers.

Horns continued domination of Big 12, now set their sites on the nation.

Viince Young’s legacy at Texas is growing with each win.

Big games & a conference title. Critics probably still won’t shut up. (BugMeNot)

In a game where the Horns scored 70 points, it was surprisingly difficult to find a “Play of the Game.” Texas was pretty methodical on offense and didn’t really have any huge runs or passes. Michael Griffin’s punt block was exciting but it was already a 49 to 3 game at the point.

Today’s play of the game goes to the 31-yard touchdown pass from Vince Young to Limas Sweed that put the nail in Colorado’s coffin early in the second quarter. Great protection from the offensive line, good pass by Young into tight coverage, and an impressive grab by Sweed.

Texas makes it look easy and is headed to Pasadena.
