Rose Bowl Game 2006

January 5^th, 2006

Dear Sports fan;

I just witnessed the best show of class I've seen in a long time and, a show of discipline that really amazed me.

I was watching the Rose Bowl football game between the Texas Longhorns & the USC Trojans. What amazed me was this: When the Texas player was tackled, he got up with the ball in his hand and would look for an official and throw/hand the ball the them.

When a USC player was tackled, he got up and would throw the ball on the ground away from any official and looked like he was going to cry. After they got beat by Texas, it really showed how immature they are, and how they can't stand to lose.

Now, I'm from California and have never been a USC fan for this reason: They think they are some kind of big shot. Oh, they win a lot of football games, 34 and 2 National Championships Some of them have been controversial because of dirty play, like the 1952 Notre Dame game, sack the quarter back then do a knee drop to his throat; that drew a healthy fine and the player was suspended. They're still a bunch of Nerds and the game tonight proves my point, NO CLASS AND, Texas whipped them 41 to 38 and IS the National Champion.

To perform the way Texas did showed real discipline and they should be proud of what they did to a second rate team like the Trojans.
