The only time the RRR is big is when Texas loses. Even when we make it back to the Rose bowl and win, that will not be a big game either.

come back when you have a legit take that doesn't originate with "The Sporting news said:" or "ESPN Said:".

El racko.

Could the "never win a big game" bloorfs get anymore tired?

:roll:

Vito, where are you getting your "Sporting News/ESPN" smack from??

Where have I quoted either of them, either directly or indirectly? If anything, you're more guilty of ad copy rants than anybody. You're also the moron who thought I was merely some Johnny come lately SC bandwagon fan...

Prime, okay, tell me about Texas' big wins.

Was last year's so so win against a two loss Michigan team anywhere near as impressive as USC's destruction of OU, the very team that shut you out?

Was that your big win?

Was this year's win against a three loss OU team that'd already gotten shithammered twice, including once by UCLA, was that very impressive?

Was that your big win?

Maybe that all too impressive squeaker over an OSU team that's already out of the picture in their own conference was the big win that got you all chubby?

See, other than those three games all the rest of us have seen from Texas is five straight asskickings from an overrated OU team and scant else on which to hang your hat except for a bunch of wins against Baylor and Okie State.

See, you have to actually play in a big game to win one. Beyond that, Texas has lost five of their last six big games (this year's game against a useless OU team was only big in terms of Hack Brown's job security), with their lone win coming against a so so Michigan team.

In that entire time frame they faced precisely one above average offense, and that was the Jason White led Sooner offense, an offense and a team which never lost to Texas, but which did manage to get beaten by LSU and utterly destroyed by both K State and especially USC.

Until you guys actually do something in a big game against a real team having a real season just sit back and STFU.

What would be a truly big game win for you guys? Beat USC in the Rose Bowl. Hell, beat a one loss LSU team in the Sugar Bowl. Just beat somebody late in the season who isn't having a down year, preferably somebody whose regular season final record is at least equal to yours.

How is the USC win over Notre Dame greater than the win Texas had over OSU.

OSU just beat the team that beat Notre Dame. OSU has 2 losses only one is a conference loss, so I don't think they are out of anything. Fact is they might still be the odds on favorite to win now that Penn State has been beaten. What other great win has USC pulled out of their ass this year? Hawaii? Arkansas?

Texas just beat a very underrated Colorado team that now has 2 losses, Miami and us. This week Texas will face the #8 team in the country, Texas Tech. That would be 2 top 10 teams this year. and 3 top 25 teams. You can also bet that whoever we face in the Big 12 championship will likely be a top 12-20 team. maybe higher if we are facing a one loss Nebraska team.

I want to know what the hell you think a "Big Game" is? Can you claim any regular season game is a Big win? Is a rivalry game a Big game?

Was UCLA a big game for USC? Was Kal? Texas beat the shit out of the team that beat the shit out of Kal, does that make Texas Tech a big game?

You say Texas beating LSU is a big win, well guess what brainiac Texas did beat LSU 3 years ago in the Cotton Bowl. Is that a big win?

You need to stick to surfing Spicoli, you don't know shit about college football. And just because you can read a media guide about the history of USC football doesn't mean you have been a fan since the 80's.

Vittles: With all do respect.......the OSu win doesn't look as impressive. Beating a terrible OU team is not a big game either. Michigan? Their coach might be worse than your.....you have more talent to get by on. Unfortunately, Pete Carroll would have Mack in a fetal position sucking his thumb by the end of a game.

Vito Corleone · Post by **Vito Corleone** » Mon Oct 17, 2005 4:08 pm

Hey Trix how is that gimic offense working out for Florida, it must suck to always be wrong? How do you figure Pete Carroll is so much better than Mack Brown? They have never faced and I don't see how Mack is a bad coach?

I'm glad you buy into the idea that Mack sucks as a coach cause you wouldn't know a good coach it one bit you in the ass.

And the OSU win is still more impressive than any win that USC has or Vtech or any other unbeaten team out there. They are ranked 13 or 14 depending on the poll you watch and will not likely lose another game til they play Michigan.

As this season plays out OSU is going to move up in the polls and will probably finish the year in a BCS bowl game. I think Penn State is going to lose another game before the year is up.

I love how bitter you are but Texas is not Oklahoma and there is not a team in the SEC or ACC that could stay within two touchdowns of them.

BTW trix, feel free to step up for van suck and define what a "Big game" is or a "Big Win" so we can all know.

USC could beat NFL teams on occasion?

Wow.

These trojan fans are gettin' a wee bit big for their britches...

Van · Post by **Van** » Mon Oct 17, 2005 4:32 pm

Vito, I get it now. You're Texas' version of the Bradhusker troll.

Sorry it took me so long.

All you have to throw at me is nonsensical and completely unfounded "media guide/bandwagon" smack, so screw it, as long as you keep resorting to such garbage you're not worth my time.

Later...

All NFL teams? No.

The worst of the NFL's expansion teams, vs last year's USC team, every once in a blue moon? Yep.

The best college teams would not lose to the very worst and most dispirited expansion era pro teams 300 games in a row, as one person here stated.

The more they played each other the less the mystique of the NFL would matter and the smaller the chasm between the two would be. Eventually the ball would bounce the college team's way and they'd get a win in there.

I don't know the % of wins but they wouldn't lose 300 in a row. No way.

Van you just entered the Board Bitch race.

Anyone who thinks any college team could beat an NFL team is Double D.

Dumb as Dog shit

HEY, are you pimping usc again?
lets talk FACTS.
last year, usc faced only one top ten team, oklahoma, and, that came in the final game,
this year, usc may yet again, only play one top ten team, depending on wether or not notre dame wins out,
IN CONTRAST,
95 nebraska, faced 4 final top ten teams, YOU DO THE MATH,
dont get me wrong, usc is the best today, BUT, against 95 NU?
they'd get raped,

this thread is getting flat out ridiculous.
college teams beating pro teams,USC destroying everyone (except the two teams they had to rally to beat in the closing minutes of the game) nobody from the SEC or ACC could stay within two TD's of Texas (aside from Bama,Georgia,LSU,Va Tech,FSU and Miami).
the truth of the matter is BOTH of these teams are very good and BOTH of these teams are vulnerable.
USC has already shown that even though they won both games they hardly looked the juggernaut role.
ND showed if you can run the ball against SC (they did) and control the clock (8 drives of 8 plays or more) you keep Leinhart,Bush and White off the field
Texas has a win against a decent OSU team but really hasn't beaten anyone else that's above average.
the game against OSU shows if you can stuff the run you can play them close.
Vince Young probably isn't going to beat Va. Tech by throwing for 5 TD's and 400 yards.
you take away the Longhorn's ground game and that high powered offense is kicking field goals.
SC has the big game experience (and that big fat fucking trophy) a more polished offense (and more weapons) and would probably beat Texas.
but to proclaim they'd undoubtedly be crushing anybody,well,check the last game they played.
