Texas quarterback needs a geography lesson.
Edited on Thu Sep-08-05 03:14 PM by ohiosmith
AUSTIN, Texas - They’ve won the Rose Bowl. They’ve won tough games at Arkansas and Texas A&M. They’ve played before crowds so loud they couldn’t hear themselves talk.

Now the No. 2 Texas Longhorns head to Ohio State for a Saturday night matchup with the No. 6 Buckeyes, who bring a crowd in excess of 100,000 every week. Ohio State has never lost a night game in Columbus and hasn’t lost at home outside the Big 10 since 1990.

“I love it,” Texas quarterback Vince Young. “We could go down there and make history.”

"down"? You dummy!

1. It's a country thing
doesn't matter if you're headed north, south, east, or west you're going down somewhere, and to them you're coming down. it's always down.

2. I say "down" all the time
Doesn't matter if it's about a location that's north, east, or west.

I think it must be a Texas thing? :shrug:

Either way, I always pull for the team that's AGAINST UT. Unless it's A&M, in which case, I hope they both perform abysmally.:evilgrin:

8. If your team happens to find the way to the stadium, they are in for
a spanking.

Go Buckeyes!

10. hmm, who's the last guy to come out of the Horseshoe
the heisman leader? don't worry learning the answer, come sunday morning, it'll be Vince Young.

much as I'd prefer a buckeye win, so the loss in November would be all the sweeter...
