OOH THAT SMELL...
Can't you smell that smell?
The Rose Bowl will never be the same.
The Texas Longhorns are your 2005 Rose Bowl winners.
It's going to take a long time for those burnt orange stains to be removed from the grounds of the Rose Bowl. Is there a more overrated college football program in America than Texas? If there is, I'd like for someone to call me out on this in the comments box.
Every year, Mack Brown lands some of the best recruiting classes in all of America. And for the past 5 seasons, those recruits have gotten their asses handed to them by Oklahoma. Yet, when the Longhorns celebrated after beating Michigan, you would think that they had just beaten the Sooners.
As for Brown, he is a scumbag. He's classless in every sense of the word. He campaigned for the Longhorns to be in the Rose Bowl and he got his way. If Cal had the "history and prestige" of Texas, there's no doubt in my mind the Bears would have been in Pasadena today.
Am I impressed by Texas today? Absolutely not. I've watched my fair share of Texas games over the past few years. This program has no business playing in a bowl game like the Rose Bowl. With their so-called talent and tradition, they should be contending for a national championship every season. But they won't do so as long as Mack Brown is in charge. And guess what? He just signed a 10-year extension to stay in Austin.
In my opinion, Michigan isn't the best team in the Big Ten. Iowa is the best team in the Big Ten. Granted, the Wolverines beat the Hawkeyes, but I'm sticking to my story. Iowa's defense sure as hell would have put up a better effort against Vince Young, who's basically a poor man's Matt Jones. Jones just doesn't get the hype because he's not playing for the almighty Texas Longhorns.
As a guy who grew up on the West Coast thinking the Rose Bowl was THE bowl game, I'm really pissed off about Texas winning in Pasadena. And it only gets worse:
The Rose Bowl is the national championship game next year. God forbid Mack Brown's bunch actually beats Oklahoma and makes it to Pasadena next January.
