    ...will be celebrated every year on January 4.

    I got tinman in the "secret vince" pool. I plan on getting him a 1995 Cassell throwback but with "Young" stitched on the back, as well as a sweet new pair of Etonics.

    I wonder what VInce Claus will bring Meowgi and Fatty Fat b*stard this year. Probably a lump of coal or a switch, with which to be beaten.

    TEXT OF PROCLAMATION

    Texas pride rose to a new level after the University of Texas won the 2006 Rose Bowl game and the National Collegiate Championship. But Houston pride rose even higher when our very own Vince Young led them to that victory. Vince Young has been celebrated by many, and was recently proclaimed by former NFL safety Ronnie Lott to be "the greatest quarterback to ever play college football."

    Born in Houston in 1983, Vince Young learned how to overcome obstacles at a very early age. He was only seven years old when he was struck and injured by a car while riding his bicycle in the street, causing him to be hospitalized for several months. Tougher from the experience, Vince Young went on to greatness. He was named Parade's and Student Sports' National Player of the Year while playing starting quarterback for Madison High School, honored as one of three finalists for the 2005 Heisman Trophy, and became the first and only player in NCAA I-A history to pass for 2,500 yards and rush for 1,000 yards in the same season.

    Vince Young is a tremendous football player for the Texas Longhorns, but he is also a tremendous person. He volunteers much of his time at schools and in youth programs, helping and mentoring children of all ages. Vince Young is an inspiration to all Houstonians, both young and old.

    Therefore, I, Bill White, Mayor of the City of Houston, hereby proclaim January 10, 2006, as Vince Young Day in Houston, Texas.


    Hey Fisher, I still believe in our fools.
    Maybe Fatty can beat that Japanese kid in eating hotdogs and the mayor will proclaim Fatty day. the problem is that Fatty loves Houston so much, that I'd be worried if he stepped outside the 610 loop.

    If there is one thing this BBS needed, it was definitely a Vince Young thread. It's been so long since I had seen one.

    If you look at one side of T-Mac's face he's sleeping, and on the other side he's reading the article.

    Yeah, as soon as this becomes a Tennessee Titans or University of Texas Alumni bulletin board, you'll see it done.
