[NCAA] Fed-Ex Orange Bowl


Recommended Posts

Typical response from someone located in Arlington, Texas. Let me guess, a Texas fan? Guess what, OU loves to hate Texas, but Big 12 is always better than non-conference. Just as I cheered for every other Big 12 team, including Texas, in their bowl.

Anyway, for the second year in a row, OU goes to the National Championship and hands the trophy to the other team as a gift. Once again we played horrible. All I can really say positively is that a lot of guys will be gone next year and we can rebuild, primarily Jason White. He really isn't all that good, and I'm glad to see him gone so that other players have a chance. I feel sorry for people like Paul Thompson who had the chance to be great players but never got their chance. We have a lot of talent in QBs right now, and I am glad we will get a chance to actually see them now.

I guess this pretty definatively shows who is national champs. USC played very well, and with that combined with OU's horrible playing, came out with a huge lead. I'd be surprised to see many polls go to anyone other than USC.

Great job to USC, Auburn, and Utah, all going undefeated this year, and best of luck to all of them next year. I'm looking forward to another great year of football next year. I think the way this season ended just sets up an even more exciting year next year.

Boise State lost...

Im so glad USC won that game big. Im sick of listening to OU fans say that Auburn may be good but theyre not on the same level. USC pretty much knocked them off their high horse. OU has played sloppy football all season. Ive been saying all along that USC will pick apart OU's weak pass defense.

Go Trojans

I cheer for all Big 12 Schools in bowl season but in the regular season I hate you all wink.gif

I couldn't agree more. Bring it on :p

Oh, crap, I knew that, sorry. I got lost in thinking back over the season at the teams that did very well and accidently put them in there. They DID lose their last game in a heartbreaker for them. I'm surprised it got all the way to you before anyone noticed that :laugh:

To respond to the rest of what you said... I'll be the first to say that OU wasn't an incredible team this year. All year I saw holes in the team that never seemed to be exploited too much, and therefore were never a big deal as we continued to win all our games. However, the OU team that played tonight, was, again just like last year, not the same OU team that played all season.

I have said all along that Auburn was good, I just don't think they are #1 good, and I still don't. I think that USC would beat Auburn if they played. I also think that if Auburn and OU played, it would be a very close game, too close to predict. I have never said Auburn wasn't at the same level, I just think they are at the same level, but not quite as good.

I would have much rather had a difference system that would have given them the chance to play OU and/or USC though. I'm hoping that next year they will get another chance to do well, although it's unlikely as Auburn will be losing a lot of their big players just like OU is.

Oh well, it's all over now, the past is the past. There is no point on looking back on it and complaining about things that wont change. Lets just cheer on the new champs USC.

The worst part in the game was the Halftime Show :x Ashely Simpson needs to stay off live stages :laugh:

Haha, oh yeah, did you hear how many people booed when they first announced her name, and then after she finished? That was incredible. I was laughing my ass off. Hell, if I had been there I'd have been booing right along with them. She's absolutely horrible.

I never watch the stupid halftime shows but I had to stick around long enough to hear how the crowd would respond to that no talent having girl. :laugh:

Wow...That was one of the worst beatdowns i've ever seen in a national title game...OU got taken behind the shed and spanked :)

That wasn't even close compared to the absolutely disgusting, most lopsided victory I've seen...

Nebraska 62 Florida 24, 1995 Fiesta Bowl.

Nebraska absolutely destroyed Florida in every single area of the game. And they didn't throw the ball too many times like USC did tonight. They ran for 524 yards and Tommie Frazier had 200 yards rushing by himself (a freakin quarterback!). I still say his touchdown run where he ran over 8 Gator defenders was the greatest run I've ever seen.

I'm being serious here:

Would LSU consider re-hiring Nick Saban if and when he fails with the Dolphins?

I am sure they would IF Les Miles does not have any success. Nick Saban was like a GOD in Louisiana. I was down there with family for Christmas and plenty of us were in a bad mood because he was leaving. LSU football is BIG TIME down there.

How does OU end up being ranked number 3 at the end after that loss? What a crock!

if there was a playoff, we wouldn't have anything to argue about ;)

OU was an absolute joke last night. OU has ruined the MNC game 2 years in row. White is the most overrated Heisman winner in the history of college football (since winning, he lost 1 of 2 big 12 champtionship games and 2 of 2 MNC games, and the only reason he won the 2nd big 12 CG was because it was against a .500 colorado team).

thank god OU will not be a contender next year.

Actually, he hadn't won the Heisman before the Big 12 Championship against Kansas State :p I don't think White is overrated he just plays terrible in the biggest of games.

I agree, though, OU has not shown up for the big games lately, which is really disappointing. I was really hoping for the opposite of last year's NC but instead they were even worse.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
