I'm sure you've all heard by now but Vince Young has now announced he'll skip his senior year of College Football with Texas to join the NFL draft.
Of course this is a crushing blow to all of us 'Horn fans out there, but after the Rose Bowl and with the draft set the way it is I can't say I'm surprised.
All I can hope is that he goes third to the Titan's so I can see him play here in Nashville.

Ohio is losing Santonio Holmes too... it's a shame, since he made up for Ginn being almost worthless this year. Thank goodness Smith at least snapped out of it the last couple games.

Ohio is also losing Hawk which I figure to be their biggest loss, that guy was great in the Texas game.
Doesn't anyone else watch college ball?

pfftt... Jo Pa is just having an accidentally good year, it's bound to happen if you coach for a thousand years.

Quoted from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Paterno
Overall, Paterno has led Penn State to two National Championships (1982 and 1986) and five undefeated seasons (1968, 1969, 1973, 1986, and 1994). With Penn State, he has won the Orange Bowl (1968, 1969, 1973, and 2005), the Cotton Bowl (1974), the Fiesta Bowl (1977, 1980, 1981, 1986, 1991, and 1996), the Liberty Bowl (1979), the Sugar Bowl (1982), the Aloha Bowl (1983), the Holiday Bowl (1989), the Citrus Bowl (1993), the Rose Bowl (1994), the Outback Bowl (1995 and 1998), and the Alamo Bowl (1999). Under Paterno, Penn State has been the Big Ten Conference Football Champions two times (1994 and 2005). Joe has had 21 finishes in the Top 10 national rankings. JoePa has the second most NCAA 1-A Division football wins (after Bobby Bowden) with a total record of 354 wins, 117 losses, and 3 ties. He leads the NCAA 1-A Division in bowl appearances (32) and bowl wins (21). His total bowl record is 21 wins, 10 losses, and 1 tie.
Yeah, I guess I can see where you think this was an "accidentally" good season.

Yeah Vince Young really first astounded me last year in the Rose Bowl when he slew Michigan nearly singlehandedly. I was neither a USC nor Texas fan
but enjoyed watching both teams for all the great players. Young's stock cannot really go higher without reasonable risk of injury so he will either be a Saint or a Titan next year it seems.
My team (Louisville) has most of their offensive stars back but lose some O-linemen as well as the nations sack leader, force fumble creator, and Marcus Vick stomping target Elvis Dumervil. My stupid 49'er went and showed integrity and actually won 2 games the last few weeks of the season and really screwed themselve out of a good draft pick, I guess I want them to either get a stud left tackle or Lindale White or D'Angelo Williams to revamp the running game.
Go Cards!!!
Go NIners!!!
