Rose Bowl ? - #1 USC or #2 Texas


Recommended Posts

I actually think it's going to be the best BCS title game in a long time. I can't see it being a blowout, personally, and I can easily see either team winning. I have a feeling it will be Texas for some reason, but I wouldn't mind if USC wins -- I have no stock either way, not a fan of either school.

Yeah I think (and hope) it's going to be a close game. I guess I'd prefer to see USC win but I don't really care either way. I just want to see a good championship game after watching Oklahoma get the crap beat out of them the past two years. I mean I depsise OU so it wasn't that bad but I'd rather see a good game lol.

yeah, USC will definitely have home field advantage. when i went to the rose bowl in 2004, it was like 3/4 USC fans, and 1/4 michigan fans. not exactly fair if you ask me. but then again, USC has never won a national championship on the road. before the BCS, they only had to go to the rose bowl. i think the only big game USC won on the road was the orange bowl against iowa a few years back.

but, in the end, i'm gonna have to pull for USC. i just hate texas too much. but, i don't think this game will feature very much defense. and don't believe the hype about texas' defensive numbers until you actually look at who they played.

Your just bitter about last year...and the fact that we beat Ohio State :p

Sorry...I couldnt resist :D

yes, yes, i am still bitter about last year. sometimes i still have nightmares about it. sometimes i just sit there and wonder why.

one thing is for certain, there will be no defense in this game.

hahahahah.LOL. I know the feeling. Just sitting in the corner rocking back and forth sobbing like a school girl.

are you going to the actual game? if it was anywhere but texas, i'd think about taking a little vacation.

I was going to go to the game but like you said, if it weren't in Texas, I would have gone since I would've been in my winter vacation.

    • What? They aren't removing the disc drive and charging $800 for questionable performance upgrades that are better suited to a new generation console? How outrageous!
    • Bummer it's only 1TB instead of 2. I had one of those - the "Halo Special Edition" OG Xbox. This looks like a cool update.

    • Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for by Aditya Tiwari It's been three years since Google introduced its AI-powered note-taking and research app, NotebookLM. Just when Apple is about to kick off WWDC 2026, the search giant has announced a platter of new NotebookLM features that add agentic capabilities in chat and more advanced reasoning. For starters, NotebookLM now draws its fuel from Gemini 3.5 and Antigravity to improve accuracy and reliability. One of the things people have been asking for a long time is more transparency into the thinking steps. NotebookLM now shows expanded thinking steps in chat, providing better visibility into the thinking process. Google compared the upgraded NotebookLM with prior versions and found that it "achieved an average win rate of over 65% — a 15% point margin above parity — across our top five core evaluation dimensions," including accuracy & quality, multilingual support, large document analysis, document creation, and advanced research. It showed substantial improvements in analyzing large documents, achieving a 69.9% win rate. The system also delivered "exceptional performance" in advanced web research and source discovery with a 78.2% win rate. The AI research tool now generates outputs in more formats. You can give instructions to guide the outputs and download the generated files from the studio panel. Here are the newly supported formats: PNG and SVG for data visualizations and charts PDFs, docx, markdown, and text files for documents PNG, JPG, and GIF for images JSON and CSV for structured data XLSX for Microsoft Excel PPTX for Microsoft PowerPoint You can make edits after the outputs are generated. The feature is available globally; therefore, you can provide directions in one language and create outputs in another. Google said that it's also making it easier to get started with a project in NotebookLM. Instead of having a list of sources beforehand, you can even start with loose ideas, and NotebookLM can help build the repository of sources through the chat. For instance, you can find primary sources in other languages to get new perspectives or explore related works of an author. All of these new features are rolling out globally for those who can loosen up their pockets. They are available to users with Google AI Ultra and all Workspace business customers with AI Ultra access. Google has plans to expand them to more users in the future.
