Yay Vince

I wouldn’t normally give ten cents for CBS News. But they caught my eye with a lengthy interview with the Longhorn that every Longhorn fan misses: VY. It’s only unfortunate that we are left with the impression that Vince can’t speak grammatical English. That’s never the case in print where it is common practice to clean up a speaker’s words. Nevertheless, it’s obvious he’s a paragon of self-confidence and esprit, something the current team certainly could use.

Texas vs Kansas State?

The fans at Burnt Orange Nation, well 21 of 22 anyhow, think it’ll be Texas in a walk tomorrow. I tend to think so, too. It can’t hurt if, as expected, Vince Young is on the sidelines. We shall see.

Vince

The Tennessee Titan’s dynamic QB’s new Web site. For once, don’t skip the intro. Good highlights.

82 days to kickoff

Countdown to Texas football, via Burnt Orange Nation, including photographs, one of which is Vince’s winning dive into the end zone against USC in the Rose Bowl. Here’s to Colt’s good health this year.

Aaron to join Vince?

Maybe, according to the Statesman’s sportswriter Kirk Bohls. The Titans need to replace Pacman Jones. But the Bears might draft Ross if Tennessee doesn’t. Either way, Aaron will still be bringing water to Sanya.

UPDATE  He was the first round pick of the Giants! Smooth move, New York. 

Vince, Vince

There’s always next year (i.e. this year) for Diet Pepsi’s NFL Rookie of the Year. VY also won the AP’s Offensive Rookie of the Year last month. He’s already got more running yards (552) than the two QBs in Sunday’s Super Bowl combined (Manning, 36; Grossman, 2). If he stays healthy and the Titans grow, he could be there this time next year, says the daily’s Kirk Bohls. Oh, yeah.

Vince, the roll is over

On a muddy Nashville football field, the Titans failed to make it seven in a row and went down to the New England Patriots 40-23, ending their Cinderella roll. CBS’s last shot of Vince was him on the bench with his face in his hands. He had a good season for an NFL rookie. It just wasn’t enough.

UPDATE  The sheep of the Associated Press ganged up on him, claiming he played that game "like a rookie," except he didn’t to my eyes. His receivers dropped too many. His offensive line couldn’t protect him. It’s a team game. He inspires, no doubt, alone, but he can’t win alone, or lose alone either. He’ll have an outstanding 2007. Go get ’em Vince!
