Grand Daddy Indeed!

Man, what a game last night! Hopefully you all stayed up to watch the ending. That was more entertaining than Down Periscope and McHale's Navy combined. With all the hype building the Rose Bowl up, I assumed the teams would somehow find a way to play a terrible game, with USC winning 59-21 or something like that. But alas, the stars were aligned, giving us a game for the ages.

• Vince Young was unbelievable. 267 yards passing, 200 yards rushing, 3 rushing TDs, including the game-winner with 19 seconds left. It was the best individual performance I've seen since Chris Elliott in Cabin Boy.
• LenDale White, USC's "other running back," bowled over Texas defenders for most of the game, racking up 124 yards and 3 TDs.
• Texas's defense came up HUGE, stopping White short of a first down twice in a row with less than 2 minutes in the game.
• Reggie Bush made some sweet moves, including a 26-yard TD run that would have been a no-gain if it was anyone else. That guy gets to the corner faster than anyone since -- dare I say it -- Gale Sayers.
• USC WR Dwayne Jarrett caught the ball at the 2 yard line and caused not one, but two, Texas defenders to leave the game after they failed to prevent Jarrett from finding the end zone.
• The stark duality of the Texas cheerleaders' uniforms. On one hand, you had the worst male cheerleader outfits of all-time, complete with tassles and fairy dust. On the other hand, you had the best female pom outfits of all-time, complete with mid-rif shirts and assless chaps. Shame on you Texas and bravo (!) Texas, respectively.
• And a big "way to go" to Matt Leinart for being a fat bag-o-douche in his postgame, on-field interview where he said USC was "a better football team" than Texas. Obviously.

And don't worry, Mr. 6000 will be coming soon.
