AnandTech – Could the USC Trojans beat the Houston Texans?

Apparently 33% of people said yes. Now read about them getting torn the hell down.

Poll Results

“The best college football team could NEVER beat the worst NFL team, plain and simple.”

“it’s funny how most people here have stated that there is no chance USC could win and I totally agree with that, but why in the hell is it currently 15 for yes vs 27 for no? Shouldn’t it be like 2 for yes and 50 for no? lol.”

“The people voting for USC simply have NO IDEA what they’re talking about. Plain and simple. I mean, they’re complete idiots, really.

The NFL is comprised of what, like 1000 of the WORLD’s biggest, fastest and strongest people. NCAA has thousands upon thousands of KIDS.

The offensive and defensive line of Houston would walk over the opposing line of USC’s every… single… play.

No contest. Houston, 72-10.”

“Dude. Name “5-10 college QBs” who are better than David Carr. Please. Guys that would be better than David Carr in the NFL right now.

Answer is, nobody. No college QB, even Matt Leinart (who isn’t even the best NCAA QB) could step into an NFL game tomorrow and do jack SHlT.

Domanick Davis is one of the top RBs in the NFL, period. Again, you know nothing about football and maybe it’s time you read some posts before you spout off with your alleged football knowledge.

THERE IS NO WAY ANY COLLEGE TEAM COULD EVER BEAT EVEN THE WORST NFL TEAM
PERIOD
END OF STORY
GAME OVER
NO CHANCE

Just a simple fact. If you think otherwise, you need to watch some more football. ”

Damien Rice

What happened to this guy? If I was a betting man (like all my friends), I’d put big money on this guy to be the “next big thing.” That was two years ago. What the hell is going on Damien? Why can’t you get your act together? Are you afraid of selling out? Selling out is just a loser’s term for success. The rest of us call it making it. The only time I hear Rice’s music now is on cheesy WB shows like One Tree Hill. Go home to your Eskimo Friends!

It’s official: Diebold election bugware can’t be trusted | The Register

Diebold would rather lose all of its voting machine business in North Carolina than open its source code to state election officials as required by law, the Associated Press reports.

” Okay folks, which explanation sounds more reasonable: A. Diebold is willing to lose an entire state?s worth of business in order to protect Microsoft or themselves on the off-chance of a successful lawsuit or B. Diebold is petrified that their code is so full of security flaws and other problems (?liberal? Republican vote counting?) that should it ever be scrutinized, the company would most likely go out of business? Now before you answer, remember once again that this is Diebold we?re talking about here.”
