    Who'd a thunk it? link


    "Chow, who worked with Heisman Trophy winners Leinart and Carson Palmer at Southern California, is considered one of the finest teachers of quarterbacks in the business. What does he like most about Young, who left Texas after his junior season?

    "Besides the physical skills, it's the will and the strength inside, the 'it' factor that a quarterback either has or doesn't have," Chow said. "Obviously, he has it. The quickness in which he won the team over and the quickness in which he became the leader, the guy everybody looked up to, that was special.

    "Vince Young has this great ability to lift others around him. To see him do it so quickly, that wasn't a surprise, but it was certainly good to see." -"

    Not that it matters, but VY got 23 out of 50 votes and Demeco got 36 out of 50 for defensive ROY.

    Because he plays for the Texans? Nope.
    Because he plays for the Astros? Nope.
    Because he plays for the Comets? Nope.
    Because he plays for the Dynamo? Nope.
    Because he plays for the Aeros? Nope.
    Because he plays for any Houston team? Nope.

    Because people like to troll with Vince Young threads?

    Well, in the forum title, it says "other houston sports besides the Rockets", so since Young used to play high school football in the Houston area, I think some variation of the Tracy Murray rule is in effect in regards to Vince Young...

    So, you're saying I can start a thread about Joseph Addai if he runs over the Chiefs this weekend? Sweet.

    Cause he's a Houston, Texas boy, that's why. People like to know what our area products are doing. And believe or not, they root for them!

    Uh, it's really not that complicated, people:

    Talk about the NFL's Houston Texans, the MLB's Houston Astros, the WNBA' Houston Comets or the MLS' Houston Dynamo

    UH & Rice threads don't get posted in here, why the hell should this?

    Other than to stir **** up.

    But it is in the wrong forum, moron. This is for Houston pro sports team. The kind Houston fans care about, not Tennessee fans.

    Congrats to DeMeco! What an amazing year. Hard to believe he lasted to the 2nd round. How many teams are kicking themselves for not grabbing him sooner. I mean, we could be talking about the next Junior Seau here!

    Great pick by the Texans!

    Young is the third member of the Tennessee-Houston franchise to take top rookie honors: Earl Campbell in 1978 and Eddie George in 1996 did it for the Houston Oilers.

    There you go, Houston Sports.

    Reggie Bush 3 votes, haha.

    From the ESPN.com article about DeMeco winning DROY:

    From the ESPN.com article about VY, the great, winning OROY:

    The Mario Williams obsession is getting close to where the Yao Ming obsession was during his rookie year.

    ...and that's just the first page of search results. :D

    Let's face it, you can't deny the people what they want. Personally, I think Vince deserves his own forum on clutchfans. Hell, if Styx can get their own forum, then why not Vince?
