    Bring Vince and Johnny Football in and let them be our Circus next year. McNair is apparently keeping Rick Smith so why not just go all in and embrace this ****? If ya can't win at least give us a show and we still have the Denver Texans. Win, Win.....

    I'll never forget listening to sports talk radio in 2006 after he beat the Texans on that run.

    He earned the University millions. I think he has earned that money.

    You two seriously think Vince Young is mentally r****ded? I get it if you're using hyperbole to be jerks but to actually think he's r****ded is...r****ded.


    Huge **** up and error in judgement. He released a statement saying as much but what are you going to do. He absolutely deserved that money as a rep for the school. A) he's made the school millions B) He WAS valuable in recruiting C) He WAS a valuable asset for any public event for the university. It's impossible for most of you to understand what he means to the city and university. This is very unfortunate for everyone involved. Thank god no one was hurt.

    Texas says Vince Young will "continue to be an employee." Spokesman says school is "working directly with Mr. Young to address" situation. — Mike Finger

    Vince Young is one of those players that makes me think, "there's some deserving student who didn't get into UT because of this moron". He may not be literally r****ded but he is an emotional cripple - he called out teamates, coaches, and once left his team to go cry home to his mom.

    That's bad.

    And he's inspired many kids and made UT football relevant again.

    He's a hero in Austin, maybe not to people in Maroon.

    He made out of Houston.

    Stop hating Native Houstonians.

    As long as those more deserving students can account for six zillion yards of offense in the Rose Bowl, this is a valid point.
