"USC could beat the Texans" - Best Damn Sports Show Period

[Hervoyel]

This reminds me of when I used to tell my dad that the Gamblers could have beat the Oilers in 1984.

That was IMO a distinct possibility. The Oilers stunk so bad at that time that I think it could have happened. Only in a runaway scoring sort of scenario where the lousy Oiler defense of the time could not stop the R&S of the Gamblers. I have no illusions that the Gamblers defense could have stopped the Oilers (even as bad as our offense was in 1984). I know Bud wanted no part of it and neither did the NFL. A loss would have conferred instant legitimacy to the USFL and a win by the Oilers wouldn't have "proven" anything. They had everything to lose and nothing to gain.

Gamblers 48 - Oilers 45? What can I say, I think it was possible. Grossly unlikely but still possible. The R&S made a lot of teams look bad when it first came on the national scene. That changed pretty quick.

Wow, now Cold Pizza's First and Ten said not only USC could beat the Texans, but the Texas Longhorns and Notre Dame could beat us as well.

The cold pizza group is a bunch of morons. You would think "experts" would'nt make such a stupid remark.

What about other pro teams? Could USC beat one of the NFL Europle teams or Canadian? I think that's a much better question.

Wonder if Ragone and his NFL Europe team could be the Texans with Carr right now, lol.

This is stupid. No college team would ever be able to beat any pro team.

Unless there is a college team that has top draft picks at every position, this wouldnt ever be close.

FINALLY a voice of reason.

The best Damn Sports show is a joke. Just a bunch of ESPN wannabe's who try to act "cool" and come off pathetic.

Biggio's stats are through 2004. So we can go ahead and add this years stats. That 25 more HR's which gives him 259. That's only 23 less than Sandberg. He would have surpassed him years ago if he didn't play in the Astrodome all those years.

Um, Sakebomb, not sure but I think you posted in the wrong thread.

Couldn't agree more. An NCAA-CFL game might be difficult because of the rule differences, but I'd love to see USC or Texas go against the Thunder or the Admirals. Is a third round pick with a couple of years' experience holding a clip-board and an NFLE MVP award better or worse than a guy who's about to go first overall? I suspect significantly better, and I think the Thunder would beat USC.
