The AZN Wolverine: The Longhorn Legend

The Longhorn Legend

If the Lions want some serious change, they should lose out, trade up their draft picks, and get Vince Young. Not only is he of legendary status in Texas just from high school football, he is considered a god in the state. I'm watching the Big 12 championship right now between CU and Texas, and the Longhorns just intercepted a pass. This is child's play. This team could very easily beat USC.

On the very next play, Vince Young threw a touchdown. He makes this game seem easier than NCAA 06. Vince Young is better than Matt Leinart, Reggie Bush, and will be MUCH better than Michael Vick. Young will become the face of the NFL in 10 years. If you haven't played as him in NCAA, you had damn well better, even if you're not a football fan, because he makes the game seem like you're using cheats.

Bob Griese described Young as "seeming to glide rather than run," and that "he never seems to have a negative play." He jukes people out ten yards ahead and they can't do anything, because 1. they're frozen, and 2. he's so goddamn fast. But not only does he use his legs effectively, like Michael Vick did in all his Hokie years, but he's just as good a passer as Eli was in his Rebel days. This guy is the uber-player, the super-athlete. Young could play at probably any non-lineman position and still be named a concensus All-American.

College football has not seen a player of his caliber in a LONG time, and it just happens to be that this upcoming draft class will be one of the strongest and deepest in history. Bush, Leinart, Young, Vick, White, amongst an entire class of workhorse runningbacks, speedy receivers and stout defenders. Parity will rear its ugly head next NFL season, and change will happen.

If Vince Young comes to Detroit, if Matt Millen can shove off the media and not draft a defensive player, then all our problems will be solved.

Young just threw for another touchdown, and the score is now 35-3, halfway into the second quarter. It's his second touchdown when I've been writing this article. Also keep in mind that this is the conference championship, that the team they're playing is supposed to be GOOD. USC will obviously be the favorite to beat Texas, but I say you should NOT count out this Longhorn squad. It was a given at the beginning of the year that it would be SC/Texas, and they haven't disappointed. Yes, Reggie Bush will win the Heisman, for the sole fact that he can excel with such statistics when he's surrounded by other future NFL hall of famers, but Vince Young will make a serious impact in the NFL. Watching him against Michael Vick will be one of the most exciting happenings since Donovan/Vick.

Not to mention the NCAA national championship will be the best game in recent history, blowing away all of the Patriots' last-second Super Bowl wins combined. I'm so fucking hyped for it, you have no idea. USC's traditional I-Formation team against the new-age Texas spread offense. Holy shit. And I would like to close by pointing out that no, I am not gay.


But if I was, I'd want this guy.

The score at halftime: 42-3, Longhorns.

Also on today/tonight's football schedule: Tulsa/UCF, USC/UCLA, Army/Navy (series is tied at 49-49-7), UGA/LSU, West Virginia/USF, Louisville/UConn, Va Tech/FSU.

Vince Young in high school.
