Next Game
USC Trojans 
@ Arizona Wildcats
Saturday, Oct 25, 2008, 7:15 PM PDT
Arizona Stadium
You know I just didn't feel like writing today.
I had a monster week at work and I needed to spend some time with the family today. It's also an ugly day here in the NYC area and I had some things I wanted to catch up on around the house.
I have had a bad feeling about this game all week. This is a good UA team but not a great UA team. As I have I said earlier in the week four of their five wins are against teams with losing records and their two losses were not pretty. But I just feel like all the stars are lining up with Arizona tonight. Call me crazy but they have played us close in previous years. Its at Arizona where they have played well taking out the Ducks last year, it's their homecoming so they are going to be jacked tonight.
Don't get me wrong I want a win...we need a win, I just don't like all the little things that could go wrong. I guess the OSU game has me a little snake bit. We never should have lost that game, it showed that we do not take some teams seriously. We can't continue to have 1-2 stupid losses in a season ,we just have too much talent for that to happen.
I realize that what I write is not going to be popular but its just how I feel.
Anyway, leave your comments, questions or general rants here.
I want a win...We need a win...I hope that we win.
FIGHT ON!

BIG GAME ! ! !
My son is a student at U of A. He’s a Trojan fan for every game except against the Wildcats. He just texted me, “Your stinking Trojans just stomped on our ‘A’ ! !”
He’s as jacked up as I’ve ever seen him. As I’m sure everyone in the stadium is. I have a good feeling about this game. Let’s score big!!
9 passes 5 rushes
Against this little front 7??
Sarkasian likes the home run
but doesn’t like to do the work to set them up
yes
it was.
should have been overturned. not sure it would have made much difference though.

their D is not bad

I think
the biggest win of the day was Georgia over LSU.
but Minnesota…. I live here – going 1-10 last year, and having lost only one game this season, and their defense, worst in the nation last year, to playing very well this year. Wow, what a turn around.
How is VIRGINIA in charge of their division in the ACC?

I saw the UGA - LSU score...
and thought it was a misprint.
As for UVA, beats me, they were just abject against SC, but they seem to have found something.
i
paused the Georgia game to help my sister in law buy a Mac online. 10 minutes later, Georgia is beating the crap out of LSU. wow.
freshman quarterback. LSU misses our coach, Pelini. And Dorsey. And that Perilloux kid.

He is, but sparingly
They’ve been getting yards off Johnson on power running. McKnight’s a bit like Bush, he’s less effective against faster defenses, but unlike Bush, he can run up the gut if he needs to
you don't think so?
if a Big 12 or SEC team has one loss, they’ll be ahead of you guys?

Big 12
Texas – you have to admit – Oklahoma, then Missouri (smashed them), then Oklahoma State, then Texas Tech.
That’s one helluva run. I can’t remember a team playing four top-ten teams in a row, and winning. If Texas wins at Lubbock next week, that’s super human. That’s Colt McCoy Heisman. That’s just bloody amazing.

Offense a bit shaky to start
…but have settled down. Defense is doing pretty well and not getting too badly fooled.
Yeah looking at the Box Score...
Seems like SC has been playing pretty sloppy. Just tightening up.

halloween
I usually keep a few onions in my candy bowl.
when the kids come buy they stick their bags out. sometimes I drop an onion in there with the candy. No shit.
Because I know when they get home, their parent are going to make them drop the bag out and take a look. And there will be an onion.
Been doing this for a few years now. some of them are smart. I’ve had at least one kid go “Hey, can I have an onion?”

I'd like to throw the onions
we moved to the burbs last year, and got one group of 8 ten year old boys, no costumes, and Mom driving a minivan as “sag wagon” along at 3 miles an hour. Wish I had had the hose.
