Horns
What was great about that game, was at 38-26 SC with 8 minutes left, tradesports figured the odds of a UT win to be 8%. Seemed you'd just be betting on a single Horns stop and the simple realization from the UT coaching staff that SC had not been able to stop Vince Young at all, and that the last drive ended in only a field goal because of a poor play call on 3rd and 5 deep in SC territory.Anyway, thrilled to see the Horns win. One great recurring theme through the season I noticed was that whenever ESPN.com had a vote up involving USC losing a game or winning the title, invariably the state of Louisiana (on their SportsNation map) would have about the highest percentage of anti-USC votes, sometimes even surpassing that of the home state of the team USC was up against in the poll. While I'm not nearly as negatively disposed towards USC as they are, I was getting sick of the endless "Three Pete" talk bandied about by the ESPN types, and as such love to just consider where the BCS crystal ball of years past currently sits:
98 Tennessee
99 FSU
00 Oklahoma
01 Miami
02 Ohio State
03 LSU
04 USC
05 Texas
Not only do I not see USC three times on there, I don't see them twice.
Here's a thread with comments from the incomparable folks at EDSBS, which contains some excellent suggestions on what ESPN's Mark May can go do to himself. (Seriously, 05 Trojans 49, 91 Huskies 14? What the hell is he smoking?)
