PrintUCLA Bruins at USC Trojans, Nov 28, 2009 7:00 PM PST
I am going to put this up early so that I can watch some of the other games today.
Finally...
It is here. Time to get it on.
I am completely baffled and how which way this one will go. I am not necessarily buying that ucla has the momentum here. I am also not buying that all the pressure is on Pete Carroll as I read elsewhere. If anything I think its the other way around. Pete Carroll has not made any proclamations like Slick Rick did last night...SC has struggled the past few weeks so we know what we are getting with this team.
This is the only game that Slick Rick cares about. It has been his sole reason for all of his bluster.
So we will see how it goes.
Join Us here...leave your comments and rants here...
FIGHT ON!

The defense needs to step up, big time today, can not allow ucla’s anemic offense to look like Oregon or Stanford. Mr. Mays you came back for your senior year, this game can save it. As for Mr. Barkley, he needs to play like he did at OSU, ist half at ND and KAL, otherwise we are in for a long night and a long year.
Getting ready to go to the Coli
a) RUN IT DOWN THEIR THROAT
+
b) PROTECT THE BALL
=
WIN EASILY

can’t wait we are headed to the game. Can’t wait to give slick Rick a piece of my mind as he and his players get of the bus in a few minutes

Good Luck!
Even though it would be better for my beloved Bears for you guys to gag, I still find myself rooting for you tonight. Just like I’m currently rooting for the Furd.
I’m so confused. Damn you CC people for being cool!
Good luck and enjoy the game, guys.
Whose Axe?
OUR AXE!
so if we win this week and lose next week, can we lock up the vegas bowl and not doom ourselves to a trip to el paso? spent too much time out there with Uncle Sam... don't want to go back. hahaha
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
It's funny, I'm actually from el paso...
and a small part of me wants us to be in the sun bowl

RoJo wisely took a knee
Let’s go offense!!!
USC Sports Talk, contributor http://uscsportstalk.blogspot.com
Not a bad possession...
time to punt it away though

Special teams always make us nervous...
USC Sports Talk, contributor http://uscsportstalk.blogspot.com
Dude I realize that there are 18 reasons I should root for UCLA. Cal needs USC to lose another game to stay above them and their very enticing bowl finances. Its, yknow, fucking USC.
But I so dont want to make UCLA fans happy (and esp. that happy) for obvi reasons that Im conflicted.

defense back on the field again

Game Plan?
thank god for that pick 6.
offense looks lost, i hope these plays are setting something up for later.
what really worries me is no penetration by the d-line.
they are still feeling each other out

Bates needs to take a shot deep on the first play of this drive

False start>
This is a home game for crying out loud – I think I heard someone farting it’s so quiet.
im rooting for stanford in my hopes that we end up going to vegas...
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
no hi-def in sacramento?!! f you comcast and pac-10!!
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
I was watching on the HD channel here b/c it was a late start on the SD channel, pre-empted for some basketball game with about 20 people. Back on SD now, which is handy b/c the HD feed was killing my DVR (and irrelevant for my old tube tv)
i guess sacramento is like the sec replay booth... standard def only
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
i have a hi-def tv... comcast doesnt have teh game in hi def
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
Dammit
just punt it away, fucking penalties
USC Sports Talk, contributor http://uscsportstalk.blogspot.com
BTW, ARGH
Are you fucking kidding me. What are they going to do if they have to play a full game here?
rick neuheisal has left every program hes been at in shambles and under penalty... and he is a great role model? really petros?
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
Well, he has a nice head of hair and he plays the acoustic guitar. And he hasn’t turned UCLA into a shambles.
has pete always played the safeties so deep every freaking play? seems like that is new...
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
i just noticed its a 3 man round table tonight on the thread... lets go d-will!!!
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
Damian WIlliams is the only guy on O who wants to win!
What is going on with our O. The line looks weak.
has anyone else noticed the parallels between sanchez and barkley this year? huge starts and then fading fast...
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
i'm just hoping that d-will's determination will rub off as the game goes on
USC Sports Talk, contributor http://uscsportstalk.blogspot.com
Well that was a waste of fucking time
At least McKnight slowed Verner down enough for someone to tackle him.
dammit...i guess it just sailed on him
USC Sports Talk, contributor http://uscsportstalk.blogspot.com
not a chance... they already said he isnt staying on the west coast to recruit after the game. he is fired tomorrow or monday
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
Prince is playing with fire
He won’t make it out of this game alive if he keeps challenging taylor mays
USC Sports Talk, contributor http://uscsportstalk.blogspot.com
chip kelly is #1 on their list... but i wouldn't be surprised if they threw the bank at stoops
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
malcolm smith is having himself a ball game so far
USC Sports Talk, contributor http://uscsportstalk.blogspot.com
net punt of 19 yards
they should have just gone for it
USC Sports Talk, contributor http://uscsportstalk.blogspot.com
vatech had one like that earlier on a 4-3... that is why i love the hs coach that doesnt ever kick... ever... even every kickoff is onsides
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
Don’t know, I was watching Gerhart stroll into the end zone for Stanford to take a lead with 59 seconds left.
i love that the domers quickly spun the barkley fight into a sucker punch... so funny
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
bates need to yell at his players on the sideline the way josh mcdaniels
did to his broncos on thanksgiving: “All we’re trying to do is win a motherf****** game!”

there we go
let bradford outman brian price
USC Sports Talk, contributor http://uscsportstalk.blogspot.com
that is the second time that same guy got burned and they almost blocked it from the same side
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
both teams should just take a knee, take it to the locker room
USC Sports Talk, contributor http://uscsportstalk.blogspot.com
nice timeout pete!!!!!!! that is his best call of any sort in a month!!
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
Ha! If we’re counting on them to get it right, they’ll complete the review and throw Pinkard out of the game…
agreed

oh well, at least brian price didn't block the fg
USC Sports Talk, contributor http://uscsportstalk.blogspot.com
Not sure about the play calling...
Again…
Barkley is an INT machine…he is not getting what Bates is selling. He is either forcing throws or he is over throwing the ball…
they need to just turn it on, and run it right at brian price
that means the o-line firing off the snap and the running backs hitting the hole hard
USC Sports Talk, contributor http://uscsportstalk.blogspot.com
why do we want to run it right at their best lineman?
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
Hello, gentlemen. I just popped by to wish you good luck in the second half. As a third generation Cal grad, I’ve spent my whole life hating USC. But getting to know some of you cool CC guys — and those clowns at BN — has shifted the foundation of my football fan hatreds. Please kick their baby blue butts all the way back to Westwood in the second half!

alright defense did its job, let's get something going offense
USC Sports Talk, contributor http://uscsportstalk.blogspot.com
another amazing 3rd down play call from bates
USC Sports Talk, contributor http://uscsportstalk.blogspot.com
Nice pick by Harris
Got to make the most of the opportunities when Prince is trying to avoid trouble.
looks like barkley was down, but he needs to learn how to slide
USC Sports Talk, contributor http://uscsportstalk.blogspot.com
bates needs to learn how to call play action or give the ball to bradford to get the first down
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
TD Bradford
That’s much improved over some of the earlier “drives.”
All we need is to have UCLA keep giving us the ball at or around their 35…
A 2 man route
and UCLA couldn’t protect w/5 rushers. Not a good sign
Y'all can get healthy before your bowl, right?
Because it would be cool if you did your usual bowl thing and just completely killed the crap out of someone.

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves here. I’d like to see the offense actually complete a series without getting a billion yards in penalties first.
That play was well covered. Throw it deep
to the guy running off.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH
IF ALL WE’RE GOING TO DO IS DRAW PLAYS FOR PUNTING FIELD POSITION THEN WHY NOT JUST PUNT ON 1ST AND 35?
I’d call for takeout.
But I don’t know that I’d call short yardage running plays on 1st and 35.
It’s quite possible they’re calling the best that they can draw up / execute. I prefer to hope that it’s the result of someone being hopped up on goofballs.
They called a screen on 1st and 35
They had it set up nicely and the back looks like he didn’t get far enough outside to get the ball. That’s a complete execution error.
2nd down was a boot that was well covered.
I would have called something similar on 3rd down. Nothing good is going to happen while Barkley’s back there holding the ball waiting for guys to get open.
Oh man that soundbite was the most terrifying thing I’ve ever heard.

Yeah. I wasn’t really listening and I’m kind of only three quarters awake so when I heard “God has a plan” I jumped to the logical conclusion that I was losing my mind.

what an incredible turn those penalties were... ugh
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
Yeah, but that "play" by UCLA was luck to
That wasn’t executed at all.
we may catch the total offense with the penalties
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
That's on Barkley a bit.
Get the ball out there with some velocity
Don't lie Petros
“USC is playing conservatively.”
They couldn’t get a first down in a Tri-Delt powder-puff game at the moment.
its fine when you have amazing linebackers... but when your best player is a safety youre wasting him by keeping him 15 yards off
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
Game no. 11 - Penalty no. 12
11 games in and PC still can’t get these guys to play smart and stop the penalties.
You run your base offense
whatever that is. Run it, boot it, play action, maybe some 3 step.
USC’s biggest problm is penalties
I’m calling it here: UCLA turns it over on downs with no points.

well you just have to tackle there
that should have been a loss of 2
You know, at some point, you have to stop hoping that the defense can hold them and score some goddamn points without being spotted a short field.
Got to have that catch
Bad throw, bad catch there
that fumble recovery/ 4 down conversion killed my cover. we arent explosive enough to punch one in here.
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
I like the timeout here
Don’t rush and get on the same page.
Wow
didn’t expect that. Nice play and nice execution
TrojanCBB
I thought you were done too. Congrats
i know right. lets hold em out. no pride points.
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
i guarantee they are whining about the fumble in teh first half and the lateral before the pick. refs screwed them is their theme.
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
Those guys
are completely delusional about their teams.
If they gave Neuheisel the same treatment they gave Dorrell
they’d be chanting to fire him.
Right, OK dudes, do that in whatever bowl game you end up in plzkthxbai

my -13 bet isnt over. but the victory is locked up.
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
need an oregon win for the holiday bowl to be a chance.
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
rick called that timeout when we were kneeling it out. they brought it upon themselves.
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
There's an old rule
in coaching. We’ll run out the clock if you don’t extend the game. Well Rick waited until the end to use his timeouts. This is 100% on him.

absolutely did not. we didn't go for two in a game we had locked. if rick is going to call timeouts there is nothing wrong with putting it in.
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
our players are staying back. i mean the whole ucla team crossed the logo. really?
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
Rick could have used his timeouts at any point in the last 6 minutes to extend the game.
He called one as an FU to USC and USC returned the favor. I’m telling you it’s 100% on Neuheisel.

Billy Mac: "Lamar, can you see yourself actually getting in the (boxing) ring"?
Lamar Odom: "No. My face is too pretty."
Pete Carroll cries when its done to him
but then does the same thing to someone else.
What a hypocrite of the highest order.

obviously you didnt see him whining to harbaugh after stanford pasted him.

they are still completely different situations. we were trying to kneel it out and the bruins were attacking the line and calling timeouts. brought it on themselves.
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
Well I suppose my deal is that I know the difference between.......
Crying and Whining. I also know the difference between hypocrisy and comeuppance.
Don’t call a BS timeout, play defense, no touchdown period.
Billy Mac: "Lamar, can you see yourself actually getting in the (boxing) ring"?
Lamar Odom: "No. My face is too pretty."
pete never said anything bad about it. the media did. and if ucla just lets us kneel it out game is over. we didn't go for two either.
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
Agreed with the other comments here
Pete never cried about what Harbaugh did.
That said, Pete wrote himself a hell of a check with that move, and he’d better hope his ass can continue to cash it for as long as he’s coaching at SC. Harbaugh did the same thing with his move. Next year is going to be very, very interesting.
someone on justin.tv said
that tim tebow would have gathered the two teams and led them in prayer

And we end the night with TUSK
Good night everyone!!!
USC Sports Talk, contributor http://uscsportstalk.blogspot.com
pete just said it... they were attacking at the line of scrimmage and calling timeouts so we took our shot. nothing wrong. if he went for two just to hang a certain score then yeah, it would be bush league like harbaugh.
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
i mean, is it any different than a hockey team hitting the empty netter after the goalie is pulled?
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
Yeah, the difference is hockey players/coaches are tougher.
