Young's runs last night hardly showed his speed. He can be fast when he wants to be, but if you're just basing all of this off of last night's performance then you need to look harder at Vince Young before you start knocking him. He may not be muscle-bound, but I can promise you he's a strong runner and can break tackles. As far as accuracy -- yes, a lot of his passes were when people were wide-open. We'll have to see how accurate he really is, but he does have quite an arm.

yea tell me that when he takes his team to either an AFC championship or NFL championship. ok till then VICK OWNS

vick didn't take anybody to the NFL championship. talk to me about vick when he gets there.

vick is a joke. and no, he's not leading his team to victories, otherwise he wouldn't be watching the playoffs from the stands.

consider that Pete Carroll and the USC coaching staff is excellent at what they do... i'm sure they know all about the spy and decided not to use that defense. don't forget, its these guys jobs to coach.

they didnt need a Spy they need to tackle. on the radio they said they missed 42 tackles.

with the Young and NFL thing is that will some of the top LB miss tackles will ray lewis miss or urlacer, no in the NFL he will get hit.

I liked Colin Cowherd's breakdown this morning of Vince Young and the #1 pick/NFL status. Something I never realized watching the game is that Vince never threw a pass 20+ yards downfield.

Also, he said a bunch of Horn fans, and other people across the country, were calling USC's defense their weak link and not good. So, in effect, Vince Young beat a not good defense. While I don't necessarily agree with that, I thought it was funny because I DO remember hearing that throughout the season. And USC's defense is not what it was last year - allowing 42 points to a team like Fresno State shows just that.

I don't know, I guess everyone is still amped over the game, and as sports fans, we tend to live for the moment for awhile, revelling in the just-happenings. Then we move on because next season, someone else will do something we think is "Godly" and they will be the best player to ever play. Personal feelings aside, to me, the best college football player I've ever seen is Charlie Ward. I really, really wish he would have pursued his NFL career instead of the NBA because he had the complete package.

Time will tell I guess. GO GATORS '06!!

It really was a great game and it was even better when the refs admitted they had a few bad calls they did/didn't make in the game. Thumbsup for them :)

But the difference in the game was USC's defense. They really did suck that night because they've never faced an opponent like Texas before. They couldn't tackle Young for anything.

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution by Taras Buria Earlier this week, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its brand-new high-end laptop powered by NVIDIA's brand-new RTX Spark processor. As usual, Microsoft gives each new device a unique wallpaper, and the Surface Laptop Ultra is no exception. While the device is not publicly available yet, somebody has already extracted its wallpaper, giving everyone a chance to get a piece of the upcoming laptop in its full-resolution glory. The Surface Laptop Ultra has a very dark, abstract wallpaper that resembles the stock wallpapers in Windows Server, albeit with much less color. Having this dark, grim wallpaper highlights the laptop's mini-LED display and its ability to cut off parts of the screen's backlight to achieve OLED-like black levels. However, if you also like light wallpapers, we made a white version by simply inverting its colors. You can download both wallpapers below (click the image, right-click it, and select "Save as"): The Surface Laptop Ultra is expected to launch later this year. Microsoft is not revealing full details yet, including the price. However, Microsoft confirmed up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and RTX 5070-level of GPU performance. The heart of the laptop has up to 20 CPU cores and 6,144 GPU cores. Additionally, Microsoft and NVIDIA boast high CPU efficiency for all-day battery life. As for the display, it is a 15-inch mini-LED display with a pixel density of 262 ppi and a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits. Of course, not everyone needs this amount of power, and certainly not everyone can afford it. For those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is also preparing the next-generation Surface Pro powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite processor. Weeks ahead of the announcement, details about this computer were leaked by a retailer. Do you like the Surface Laptop Ultra's stock wallpaper? Share your thoughts in the comments.

    • From all that I've read on the subject--not that much, really--it looks to me like companies and parents are trying to protect themselves from children using their parents accounts to run up giant bills, sometimes in the thousands of dollars, and the first the parents know about it is when they get sued... Internet companies have been sued for tailoring their ads to children, which is kind of old news. My belief is that policing starts at home with the parents, and the reason that so many laws that can't be enforced are being passed is because parents are eschewing their responsibilities, claiming not enough time, not enough knowledge, etc. Giving kids cell phones sans Internet connectivity is a good place to start--confine Internet activity to PCs in the home that the parents regulate. My kids are all grown and gone, I'm happy to say... They have their own kids to worry about.

    • BTW DXVK is also available on Windows and offers similar benefits like on Linux when it comes to performance, at least in some titles. The Raceroom racing sim for example even offers DXVK as one of its officially supported options and it can achieve ridiculous improvements in certain situations, like quite literally doubling (or more) the framerates
