So now, all the Aggies, Sooners, Red Raiders, etc are leaping for joy believing that they’ll have a shot next year. Couldn’t we have had a whole week to gloat about it?

Yes, Texas will be a different team without Vince Young. But, two little things to remind you of:
a) you’ll be surprised at how good the quarterbacks are that we’ll put out there, and
b) just two more little words: Jamaal Charles.
(Remember those words…)

I have to say, for a few hours today I thought Vince Young might come back to Texas. Because the word came out today that Houston really wants Reggie Bush. Personally, I still think that’s a mistake for them. I’d ditch David Carr in a moment to have the chance to get a hometown guy who’ll probably put tens of thousands of butts more in my stands. Any loss they take on Carr they would more than make up, over the long haul, on Vince Young. But then, maybe that’s why I’m not an owner.

So, New Orleans has the second pick, and up to now we’ve been told they were leaning toward Matt Leinart. The thing is, though, I am sure they assumed there was no Vince Young out there. I’d pick Young over Leinart, if I was them. And if that happens I will be really depressed. I say this in all love and respect for the truly beleaguered Saints –and there is no team more so– but the Saints are a black hole for famous UT players.
Two words: Ricky Williams.

Jeez, what a horrible situation that was for him and for them. I really don’t want to see that happen again. And something tells me that’s exactly where we’d end up.

The third pick is Tennessee, and that’s a real interesting one. Their current quarterback, Steve McNair, has been a mentor to Young since he was in high school. McNair probably only has a few years left in the NFL, realistically. How cool would it be for Young to go and play for a man he already knows and respects as a mentor? BUT! The Titan’s new offensive coordinator is the old coordinator for none other than USC!!
So, the plot there thickens.

I know this will sound horrible for a lot of reason, but it mostly has nothing to do with what’s going on in NOLA right now, and everything about who the Saints are and what they’ve done to former UT greats:

I really hope he doesn’t end up there.

Houston or Tennessee…I’d be happy to see either one of those, and even a little glad for Vince’s sake.
