OK, here is the deal.
I am away this weekend in Cape May at a family function and so far I have not been able to find a bar that has the regional telecast of the game.
If I can't find the game on TV I will be on the thread and you guys will have to keep me posted. If I do find the game I won't be on the thread...maybe by phone for the occasional mobile message.
This will be an interesting game to see of SC has a let down after last weeks game against Notre Dame. I do think this is a trap game. But I also think that the players have the right mind set, they have already their tough loss this season and they are heading into a tough part of the schedule so they need to keep focused.
Leave your comments or rants here.
I will be on the post-game thread after the game for sure.
FIGHT ON!

Oh boy oh boy
Another potential WTF game, and on espn360.com to boot. I can hardly stand the anticipation.

Just started on 360. USC kicked off. Stopped Quizz, but passing first down to OR State.

Drive to the national championship? Let’s not get ahead of ourselves here. Cody’s armpit / left hand left Alabama in the pole position as of this weekend.

OSU about to punt from their 41 – SC defending decently on this first OSU possession.

3rd & 4 for SC, McKnight drops the pass, SC to punt from about their 20.

Apparently Brehaut is now in for UCLA.
by DC Trojan on Oct 24, 2009 6:43 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
It'll be interesting to see how that works out
I don’t think he gives them the best chance to win, myself, but it could, so it’s not necessarily waving the white flag on the season and getting him reps for next year. In any event, the reps can only help him down the road, as he’s presumably the starting QB for next year.
by Boy Howdy on Oct 24, 2009 6:46 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I'm not either...
…but I am relieved.

UCLA now 0 – 4 in conference. That’s surprising, frankly. I had thought their defense would keep them in more games.

I've only been following the play-by-play...
…but it seems like:
1) the coaching staff finally figured out that the 2RB rotation works best (sorry Gable)
2) too many passing yards given up by the D up the middle

by Paragon SC on Oct 24, 2009 8:08 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yes, but I think it's less that he's making these plays...
…it’s hard to not come in high on a guy that short, especially when he goes down after making the catch (although it should still have been a 15-yard penalty and an ejection wouldn’t have been out of line), but more that he’s coming to these plays that late.
