whitesoxfan101 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 QUOTE(SnB @ Jan 4, 2006 -> 12:38 PM) yeah, that's what I've been thinking. They had a ton of seniors on this years team, so they are going to be relatively young next year, IIRC. They won't be as good next year as they were this year, but don't expect a 2000-2004 level fall for Penn State. The Lions are starting to clean up on the recruiting trail like the old days, so they should mantain bowl bid calibur teams from now on, and every once in a while have a season similar to this year.

RockRaines Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Seriously though, how many people think Joe Pa is actually coaching? I really dont think he knows what year it is. It seems to me that he is an image, a public figure and the assistants are doing all the real work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO the reason Penn State is getting good again is JoePa is now nothing more than a figurehead used for a recruiting advantage when needed....otherwise, he just has his smart assistants doing all the work.

southsider2k5 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 QUOTE(SnB @ Jan 4, 2006 -> 01:34 PM) honestly, after the amazingly exciting bowl season we've had this year, I have a feeling this is going to turn out to be a dud. I don't know who will win, but I get the feeling it will be a blow out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought last year's title game was going to be a great game to watch. I didn't need to watch more than a quarter. I thought last year's title game was one of the best talent matchups in history. ESPN kept telling me so. Now they're telling me the exact same thing about this game. Right now, I'm just hopiong it is a decent game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I don't think this will be the epic ESPN says it will be, but it's not going to be a blowout....the game will at least be decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I think Texas may win.....despite Reggie Bush going crazy.

This game reminds me so much of the Ohio State/Miami title game a few years ago. Two undefeated teams with long winning streaks, 1 of which is in the 30's....2 teams full of studs and NFL players, should be great to watch. And that's all fine and great you said the Penn State game would be the best game, but the West Virginia/Georgia game was the better game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiff Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 (edited) Texas has a better defense, which should be talked about more. But the thing that scares me about their chances is the fact that Mack Brown coaches them. Edited January 4, 2006 by Spiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Finally, after all these meaningless bowl games, here's the one that actually counts. I think USC is gonna win, but I hope Texas somehow pulls it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas IMO is definitely the better team, but Mack Brown is a dumbass, so weird things may happen that shouldnt' as a result that swing the game towards USC.

Palehosefan Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I'm going with 42-28 Texas. Texas slows down the USC offense in the 1st half, but USC gets a few TD's later in the 2nd half, but USC never can stop Texas consistently. Vince Young throws for 200, and runs for another 100. Reggie Bush combines for over 200 yards rushing and receiving as usual, but Lendale White is stopped. I can see the exact opposite happening and me looking totally retarded, then again, what else is new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
