Turn the Page, Reggie

Yet another reason that I'm glad that the Texans didn't draft Reggie Bush. Apparently, he still hasn't accepted that his USC Trojans were not, in fact, the greatest college football team of all time (the unprecedented hype and unmitigated fawning by ESPN notwithstanding) and that, in fact, his team was beaten by a better Texas Longhorn team in the Rose Bowl on 1/4/06.

"Reggie Bush, speaking to Bob Costas for Costas Now at 8 p.m. Wednesday on HBO, says if the 2005 USC team played the 2005 Texas team, the Trojans would win nine out of 10 times " 'cause they (Texas) got that one (the Rose Bowl)." Guess he wasn't planning any laterals in the rematch."

Last time I checked, Reg, the National Championship isn't decided by a 'best of 10' series, meaning that the scenario that you speculate about occurs nowhere, at no time and under no circumstance. As long as we're throwing out baseless speculation, I say that Texas would have won 10 out of 10 times. So there!

Reggie sounds like an elderly woman that we stood next to on the shuttle bus coming back from the Rose Bowl to the parking area in Pasadena. She was clearly disappointed in the outcome and boldly stated that we wouldn't have beaten last year's USC team. My wonderful wife replied "Well, we weren't playing last year's team, now were we?" Ha!

There is such a thing as scoreboard. Move on with your life, Reggie. You were beaten by the better team.
