The Rose Bowl

CHEMICAL SOLDIER · 01-01-2005, 03:46 PM

Here's hoping for a great game between Mack '' We want to go to The Rose Bowl'' Brown and Llyod Carr.
Final score:

Michigan 23
Texas 21

korme · 01-01-2005, 03:53 PM

My profound hatred of Michigan is only stemmed furthur by their horrible coach Carr.

B & B · 01-01-2005, 03:56 PM

Texas -7 is my bowl game of the year, I'm expecting an easy double digit win.

(go blue)

CHEMICAL SOLDIER · 01-01-2005, 04:17 PM

I hope that it's a great fight. I haven't seen a good Rose Bowl game since ASU v. OSU in cira. 1997 or 98.

Cringer · 01-01-2005, 04:21 PM

When did Texas leave the Big 12 for the Pac 10?

CHEMICAL SOLDIER · 01-01-2005, 04:50 PM

When Mack Brown bitched about his predicament.

DeToxRox · 01-01-2005, 05:11 PM

Big play to Braylon.

He is going to take this game into his own hands like vs MSU.

Long day coming for the Texas secondary.

Solecismic · 01-01-2005, 05:28 PM

It's hard watching games like this. On one hand, great to see my team in a BCS game. On the other hand, they're up against a team that's one step away from a championship. It's a mismatch, and the -7 really is too low a spread.

Add that to some fairly horrible officiating in the first quarter, and it's a miracle it's still close.

Carr acts as if he's never seen a running quarterback before. Michigan used to eat those option guys for breakfast.

ISiddiqui · 01-01-2005, 05:41 PM

And it's tied at 14 at the half

.

DeToxRox · 01-01-2005, 05:42 PM

Big turn of events from the muffed punt, then Braylon being SO wide open.

Woodley has been the best defensive player on the field too. Johnson is the most talented but right now, Woodley is playing the best.

This is gunna be a good second half.

Solecismic · 01-01-2005, 06:09 PM

That one's squarely on Carr. Inexcusable.

SunDancer · 01-01-2005, 06:10 PM

Michigan-Cal still sounds alot more worthy then Michigan-Texas.

ISiddiqui · 01-01-2005, 06:16 PM

How did this game turn into a shootout?

DeToxRox · 01-01-2005, 06:18 PM

Breaston can be so deadly when healthy. Two more years of this, baby.

Senator · 01-01-2005, 06:26 PM

I love people hating my school.

ISiddiqui · 01-01-2005, 06:31 PM

MAN... Edwards just finds ways to come open. UM up by a TD.

DeToxRox · 01-01-2005, 06:33 PM

How can you not have a saftey on him when a slant is so obvious in that situation? He could be the biggest gamebreaker in the NCAA because if you want to stop him, you can't. He's just been dominating.

Already two more TD's in this third then Texas has allowed all year. Gotta' love it.

I understand Michigan is not the best coached team in the world.

I also understand Texas isn't the best coached team in the world either. I've watched Texas plenty of times this year and I wouldn't put a single dollar on them. (win or lose)

When they play well, they are simply incredible to watch. Yet they don't play like a well oiled machine that often. And they are very beatable if you can force Young to make decisions.

Were I betting, I'd have stayed so far away from this game it would make your head spin. After seeing some of the early results, which included most of the Big 10 teams playing pretty well, I'd have moved even further away.

I like the Utah, Auburn, and OU lines far more than this one anyway. Pushed, I'd say I'd pick Utah as my best bet. I think they are just going to light up Pitt in the second half.

Easy Mac · 01-01-2005, 06:40 PM

Bring in THE MAJOR!

SunDancer · 01-01-2005, 06:42 PM

Go Blue! Why is the Rose Bowl, the one game, I always love to watch, no matter who's playing in it (while, expect atleast one Big Ten or Pac-10 school)?

DeToxRox · 01-01-2005, 06:53 PM

Vincent Young, great runner, horrible passer. As the time continues to tick away, the running aspect is gunna start going with it.

Also, how many games has it been for Benson with a TD?

ISiddiqui · 01-01-2005, 07:08 PM

MY GOD! That Young TD was amazing!

Chubby · 01-01-2005, 07:09 PM

wow...

Solecismic · 01-01-2005, 07:10 PM

Just like the Ohio State quarterback. Michigan makes these running quarterbacks look a lot better than they are. Poor tackling, poor defensive scheme.

DeToxRox · 01-01-2005, 07:11 PM

He can fucking run, thats for sure. Michigan needs a sustained drive, and then needs to put it in the endzone. Make him actually have to pass. We can't let him have time on the clock to where he can decide to take a chance to run.

Celeval · 01-01-2005, 07:11 PM

Heck of a game so far.

ISiddiqui · 01-01-2005, 07:12 PM

Yeah, it's been a pretty good day for football

What make it so aggravating is that Young is obviously looking to run first. There's no spy underneath. So they contain with the rush, but that's only half the battle.

I just hope they can sustain this drive. Carr's instinct is to go conservative, but so far Edwards has been amazing. And Henne just overthrew an easy touchdown, damnit.

Easy Mac · 01-01-2005, 07:15 PM

Michigan is going for some trickeration.

'Cause Cal isn't

.

cthomer5000 · 01-01-2005, 07:20 PM

Michigan gets points, but I have to feel holding them to a field goal (after the penalty) is huge for Texas.

ISiddiqui · 01-01-2005, 07:22 PM

Yeah, especially seeing as how Michigan is having big trouble holding Young.

ISiddiqui · 01-01-2005, 07:24 PM

Jeez, in 2 plays, Texas is almost in the Red Zone. Michigan really needed that TD.

ISiddiqui · 01-01-2005, 07:24 PM

That just looked WAAAY too easy!

Chubby · 01-01-2005, 07:25 PM

GREAT block, TD texas

Easy Mac · 01-01-2005, 07:26 PM

Is it a rule in bowl games this year that if you're under 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter that you don't play defense?

Solecismic · 01-01-2005, 07:26 PM

This is the one of the worst defensive teams Michigan has ever put on the field. Certainly the most overrated. And I've seen at least seven games a year for more than 30 years.

Chubby · 01-01-2005, 07:28 PM

holy shit, inside the 40 already on the kickoff return

Easy Mac · 01-01-2005, 07:28 PM

and special teams... people forget how to do that as well.

ISiddiqui · 01-01-2005, 07:32 PM

Wow... the FG juuust made it and Michigan is on top again!

Chubby · 01-01-2005, 07:32 PM

42 yd fg......................................... good!

Solecismic · 01-01-2005, 07:33 PM

Not enough. They needed the six.

cthomer5000 · 01-01-2005, 07:33 PM

does anyone doubt that Texas will get at least a field goal attempt out of this?

Easy Mac · 01-01-2005, 07:33 PM

Time for Michigan's D to do just enough to lose.

SunDancer · 01-01-2005, 07:36 PM

Carr is an idoit.

Celeval · 01-01-2005, 07:36 PM

I don't see either team stopping the other... last with the ball and time wins this.
