Hey? What can I say? I was bedazzled every now and again throughout the course of the game. Do I still think they’re a top 3 team? Maybe? Maybe so. But it still wouldn’t get my butt-huggers all tied-up in a wad over seeing them as high as. . . .well 9th! They sure as hell didn’t look as heinous as they did last weekend, and they won. With a new and continuing-to-evolve authority.

So yeah. Dope game, and uh. . . .oh, right, U of Ore cheerleaders are a perfect mix of beauty and insanity! Each and every one those angels. Yep. You betcha! . . . .

I think Bix is right, I don’t know that this win should give USC much of a poll bump, but it was encouraging that they were able to focus and put in a decent performance on both offense and defense.

Because the slough of despond has much too many attendees, and besides. . . . . .a boiling river of blood? you gotta be kidding me? i’d PAY MONEY to be near something LIKE THAT, shiiiiiiit! I’ll take 3 tickets. . .

That was a disappointing non-call on the Reed-sacking-Sanchez play. Mustain getting some action was kinda cool, actually. In saying that, it’s obvious we Trojans possess some severely twisted “thrill” issues. He throws an INT, and then throws a slick-ass pass for a TD? Weird hah? It was boss.

The team looked like their old selves from time to time, albeit in a rusty and persistent way most of the time. They’ll calm down enough to breathe sometime soon, and then I predict they get back in their stride and become a more collectively dominant and highly-synchronized football team. Run the table from here on out? Perhaps, maybe. . . .but in all seriousness. . . . that’s just crazy talk about craziness. The USC Trojans have to continue to get hyped about how fun playing football truly is. If they “get” and “believe” that- we’ll be where we left off being who we are after that 2006 season. Kinda, sorta.

Did I tell you that boiling blood flows down the Phlegethon River? (according to myth, it is central in one the most beautiful love stories ever written. It is said that the goddess Styx was in love with Phlegethon, but she was consumed by his flames and sent him to Hades. Eventually when Zeus accepted her river to flow through, they reunited. And, Dante also had his take with it. The river is described as a river of blood that boils souls.
It is in the Seventh Circle and is guarded by centaurs. Here, people are punished for crimes committed via violence against their fellow men (see Canto XI, 34–39). Here are murderers and tyrants; men who, through their violent deeds in life, caused hot blood to flow and now find themselves sunk in flowing, boiling blood. Must be a pretty scary, if not entertaining, hot hot place, no?
