After the non-call in the endzone on what should have been a Texas INT, I looked at my girl and pointed out that after these missed replays in the Rose, and of course the debacle in the Alamo, that replay will be the hot topic in the offseason this year. What the NCAA needs to do is mandate a NCAA rule about how replay works, and throw out this nonsense where conferences get to do their own thing, and secondly they need to use the SEC TV simul-feed system, instead of the Big-10s TIVO system, so that replay stoppages from the booth can be ordered quicker. I think the SEC's tweaks to the Big-10 prototype were all well thought out. They have a dozen cameras at their command and can see replay angles in the booth before they've been aired over live TV, which is something not available under the Big-10 system.
Whatever happens, I just hope that CFB does not use the NFL challenge system. It is completely absurd to force a team to sacrifice their own time outs to fix an officiating mistake.

Our NC game in the 02-03 season, and then last nights Rose Bowl are by far the 2 best games of this century. I give our game the nod, because I think that it had more drama considering either team had an equal chance of stopping each other when it counted, unlike when Vince Young just rolled his way into the end zone. I think what made our game more exciting was that it came down to every play, being up in the air. I don't think that there was much doubt that Young would not run on that 4th and 5, and end up scoring because no one could stop him on the defense.

Leinert is a child!
The rose bowl rivaled our national championship win over Miami. Did you hear Leinert... to paraphrase..."well, whatever, we're still the better team" what a child! looks like you finally played real football--outside the pathetic, no-defense, pac 10! Hell, USC had to cheat (push into the end zone) to beat the Irish. I'm glad they fell... Young looked like superman. There will be another amazing early showdown next season... let's win this one!!!

This is what is often forgotten about the '03 Fiesta.
OSU had first and goal from the 2 in OT1 and scored.
Miami had first and goal from the 2 in OT2 and were denied on four consecutive plays.
I suppose I agree here. The '03 Fiesta saw huge plays, and huge stops, by both teams precisely when you were ready to count each of them out.
When Vince stood at midfield with 50-some odd yards to go to win, I knew Texas was going to win the national championship. I've seen that movie before.

You know I've heard this ill-thought comment posted all over the shop by those making much the same point. Frankly there is no need to paraphrase - and frankly there is too much being made of this Leinart as an asshole angle. If you wish to dun him for making an emotional retort when accosted by a reporter on the sideline seconds after a gutting defeat it is only fair that you credit him for the praise he heaped on Texas and Vince Young in the post-game presser. During which he specifically stated that Vince Young's performance was that of a freakishly talented athlete.
As far as I'm concerned Leinart's outburst falls into the same category as that which the reporter might have received had they asked, "Well Matt, you've just lost the National Championship game and your dreams of a 3-peat are in tatters - what are you going to do now?" - you know the "I'm going to Disneyland question.
Leinart's answer to the above might have been - "Go to Hell"
Saying to the the reporter "I still think we are the better team" would show he disrespects his opponent IF he did NOT later specifically praise Texas. But he did later so praise them, hence I'm cutting him a break.

Rose. If I slip off my scarlet and gray glasses, this game rivals our '03 Fiesta victory. I give us a slight edge though.
I think ours was way better for a few reasons. That game ended up producing a boatload of future NFLers, it went 2 overtimes which was the record for a BCS bowl game before this year's Orange Bowl, and Ohio St. was a way bigger underdog than Texas was this year. Plus it was the Buckeyes.:tongue2:
