    Its amusing....I find that people on this board and houstonprofootball.com seem to have this idea that Vanderbilt is full of Nashvillians or that people in Nashville like Vanderbilt. They dont seem to understand that they worship the other orange-wearing state college using the 21st and 20th letters of the alphabet. Cutler is from Santa Claus, Indiana. He's not a Nashville boy.

    And I dont want the Texans to draft him....or any other QB.

    AND...I want Vince or Cutler to play for the Jets bc I'd love to see them on TV here in NYC.

    Sorry that Longhorn fans can't be as level-headed as you high and mighty Vanderbilt fans. We only want our professional teams to draft UT players. It has absolutely nothing to do with anything else.

    VY FOR TEXANS FIRST PICK! JON SCOTT FOR SECOND! ROD WRIGHT FOR THIRD!

    ALDRIDGE FOR ROCKETS! TRADE FOR FORD! SIGN LANCE BLANKS FROM LOCAL HEB!

    TRADE LIDGE FOR HUSTON STREET!

    See....a little honesty and everyone feels better. :D

    Whats amusing is that I consider myself a Longhorn fan, too. My wife went to UT and I probably watched more Longhorn games than Vandy games in my lifetime since I grew up in Houston.

    Want I really want is to see the Texans have any chance of beating the Cowboys this season. And drafting someone thats gonna sit on the bench this season is not going to do that.

    I hear ya, man. I just get annoyed (obviously) at the assertion that the only reason people want VY is because he went to UT.

    BTW, I have a special spot in my heart for Vandy. I met two DMB members right across the street from there.

    There is no logical answer to this

    .....and the Rockets should have drafted Sam Bowie if they really needed a power forward to play next to Ralph Sampson.

    rocketman95.. I understand, and I know Vince is a special player. I know you want him for his talent and not just because he is a UT guy, I just don't think this board would be so slanted towards Vince if he wasn't a longhorn.

    I just get annoyed when people look at only Vince and don't even look at the other quarterbacks at all. I think Vince will be good.. and I do root for UT to win since they represent my state..

    i think he means you don't pass up on special talent just because you have that position filled. particularly if that position has been filled in a very mediocre fashion to date.

    Exactly! I'm curious of your opinion on this. I actually think Jay being a Vandy guy would HURT his chances with the Titans. From my experiences in Nashville, I think the Titans fans are anti-vandy and Cutler more than pro having the guy who went to college in the city play for their NFL team.



    Shoot, I had this silly idea to go to an interview in nashville just for practice (not that I'd accept a job there) and I pretty much had to apologize for going to Vandy... and anti-vandy sentiment is pretty strong among some of those people

    ..not to mention that drafting a hometown legend offers certain synergies that other players don't.

    Of course, to a Maroon deaf-blind individual like certain people on the board Vince Young could cure cancer and somebody would bring up Reggie McNeal's 40 time or the ignominy of an 11-point defeat of a certain moribund program.

    You are such a loser, it has nothing to do with A&M. I don't want Leinart either. All you do is try and start controversy. You are ignored

    i disagree. i don't think it is.

    but if you're right....we already have a running back. i think he's proven himself to be a better RB so far than Carr has proven himself to be a QB.

    Your profanity laced tirades from a few months ago and your multiple posts about Reggie Mcneal in this thread indicate otherwise.

    Considering that you've responded to almost each and every one of my posts in this thread within about 5 minutes, even the ones not addressed to you - I'm very glad you've come to this decision. In fact, I'm going to request that from now on you don't read any of them any more therefore I won't be tempted to go through the exercise of proving you wrong, hypocritical, etc.
