That is a slick graphics program. Click on a particulat team and see the expanded graphis. I'm with 06 catcherdad, where is Pete Carroll?
CARROLL may be talking with the Houston team about being head coach and bringing his QB and RB with him
TR, I'm not saying you're wrong, but why on earth would a guy who left the NFL and built the most successful college team around want to leave that ideal world and go back to the NFL? Why,especially, to a team that is going to take a lot more than a QB & RB, as well as new coach before they ever become respectable. As is often the case, the head coach will probably take the fall without being the real problem (can you say NO offensive line?) and the team will not improve much in the near term. By the way, does the Texan's O line bring new definition to the term OFFENSIVE?
dad...MONEY and financial security for himself and his family for life!
Simple as that.

I am with Beenthere--- plus the ego factor-- he may want to prove that his first go 'round in the NFL was a fluke
personnally I think he is a great college coach and should stay there

I may be mistaken, but I think he's paid just as much as most NFL coaches. I seem to remember (but at my age, who knows 
) that Coach Carroll is paid several million per year. As for ego, how many coaches have ever been on the verge of winning their third consecutive national championship? THAT should be a rather sufficient ego boost, don't you think?
I understand what you're saying about NFL coaching, but I think he'd be nuts to give up one of the best coaching jobs in the nation, in any sport at any level, to go back to the NFL.

Carroll makes about four million a year. He's going nowhere. I wish he would. It would help my Cal Bears.
How does he bring the QB and the RB with him? Is Houston exempt from the draft?
First pick and then a trade
THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA!

To the people who think Texas will win, have you even seen USC play?
Its gonna be tough for Vince Young to have a great game if Texas never gets the ball. Between Bush, White, and their passing game, USC will dominate the game.
38-24 USC

To all the people who think USC will win. Have you seen Texas Play? They have been the most dominate team this year.
USC could have lost at least 2 games this year. They should have lost the ND game and benefited from a good spot at the end of the game on the fumble that went out of bounds (Should have been spotted closer to the 2 yard line) and the push Bush gave Matt into the end zone which should have been called back.....
PS.USC is a great team though. Game could go either way but Texas has been the best team this year so far......

Darkmoon, I think most of us who've seen USC play will gladly take them over Texas without much hesitation. Last I recall, it is USC who has won 34 in a row, and is on the verge of being the only team in history to win three consecutive national championships. Texas may be awesome, but I think USC will find their crowning glory on their home field in Pasadena.
USC 41-27
USC 41-27
Could happen but Texas has been more dominate this year.
darkmoon- We are taught in California to use words in their proper context (along with kicking &^* on the football field). I think you mean dominant and not dominate. Here- I will use it in a sentence for you. Reggie Bush was the most dominant Heisman Trophy winner of all time as he beat the runner-up by a record margin. BTW- Not too hard to dominate the likes of Colorado and the rest of the slop that used to be a great conference.
Okay grammar cop. Keep smoking that Humboldt County weed out there in North California if you think that USC will make this a no contest as you claim. How about that dominating USC defensive performance against that great national power house Fresno State.
PS. USC doesn't have a better line than Texas

One can only hope that this game lives up to all the HYPE
It may not even be the best bowl game this year

Last time I checked, LSU beat OU two years ago for the national title...looks like the Trojan faithful trying to lay claim to a split NC...BCS brought in to get rid of that...BCS only recognized championship here...USC going for a back-to-back title only.
As much as I want Texas to win, I was very disappointed in Vince Young's reaction to not winning the Heisman, a very "me-first" attitude. I hope by choosing to return for his senior year he learns a little humility.
Even though I would hate to watch it, maybe a beating by USC in the biggest game of the year would speed up the maturing process.
That being said, I still don't see this game being as big of a blow out as USC fans are predicting. Texas had a real test this year in beating Ohio State in Columbus.
I CAN say that the best thing to happen to USC (before Bush winning the Heisman) this year was a fumble.

Earlier someone posted that nobody is in USC or Texas's league. Obviously, I'm quite biased as a graduate of The Ohio State University but how could you say OSU is not in their league. Arguably, OSU should have beaten Texas (if we didn't do the QB shuffle). As far as Texas vs. USC I think Texas will win (and if Vince Young plays a decent game) they will win big. OSU has one of the top two or three defenses in the country and had serious problems stopping Vince Young. When we shut down his scrambling (in the second half) he beat us with the pass. If Mack Brown doesn't choke with the play calling and his players stay loose they will win. USC can't stop Texas on offense but Texas will stop USC at least occasionally.
