USC 28 - ucla 7 - The Rivalry is Definitely Back ON!

LINK

I never again want to hear a word about Harbaugh…that being said, this was either a great defensive game or a pathetic offensive game. I definitely agree with Paragon though, the rivalry is alive and well, and I cannot wait for next season at the Rose Bowl. Tip of the cap to trOJan fans, you got the better of us tonight, but tomorrow is another day. Enjoy your victory, you earned it.

why are fucla fans mad about the last TD? They should be mad at slick Rick for calling a time out when USC was trying to run out the clock they where in victory formation and just wanted to get the game over with but slick Rick wanted to use his 3 time outs and make USC punt so that’s what he and fucla get. The monopoly is not over slick Rick

dude, I bet Neuheezy is happy, because you know that dude bet the fucking over.

Honestly, I thank Pete Carroll for this dick move. Not only did it make that god awful boring game exciting at the end, but it reminded me why I hatted on USC so much in the first place. You guys have been so nice that it made me all lovey dovey. I needed this to remind me that Carroll is a dick, USC always beats Cal, USc fans are assholes (Sorry!) and that I shouldnt let my personal appreciation of this site get in the way of some good, oldfashion hate!

That last TD was pretty much a dick move. If it had been against someone other than UCLA (or perhaps Notre Dame), I’d be really upset. As it is, it’s just another entry in the rivalry karma balance sheet. This is going to come back to bite some USC team in the ass, at some game in the future.

Even James Washington said there was time on the clock and USC came out in victory formation and took a knee. Bruins called TO we come out passing formation so bruins need to cover, they didn’t USC scored.

but don’t go over at BN and say what I said or this will happen
Any “Bruin” who defends Petey in this thread
Will be gone. End of story.

Have to say that it’s hard to argue with any of this.

As upset I am about losing, I’m very happy our team played with as much heart as they did, and especially with the D playing lights out until that last drive (the last meaningful drive of course). They just spent a bit too much time on the field than they could handle. Our offense made far too many mistakes, and your defense capitalized enough on them to make the difference, hats off to them.

I really hope people don’t make a big deal out of the last TD pass (though I know they will)…we were still playing to get back in the game, and you guys were still playing to seal the deal. I don’t think it was as surprising of a move as people are making it out to be.

As ugly as a game it was, it still proved to have a ton of exciting moments, and I’m looking forward to next year’s game at the Rose Bowl already!

My family and I were battling the cold and winds up in S10 R83. Now I missed the PA play since my brother wanted to take a pic of me with the field behind me. Honestly, I thought the game was over since the seconds were running out. Here are my questions:

1. Were the Trojans in victory formation to basically kneel?
2. Was the time out intentional to keep the game going? If so, why didn’t SC try another kneel?
3. Was the play action bomb a “message” to CRN?
4. Why wasn’t SC tagged with excessive celebration? I mean, I was there at the Rose Bowl when did they did the whole jumping/taunting last year. What was so different this year that the Bruins wanted to actually fight?
5. Who was the Bruin player that tossed the ref to the ground and why wasn’t UCLA penalized for that?

Indeed this game was terrible, but I suppose a win’s a win at this point. The timeouts were not great at all. I agree that it wasn’t the classiest of moves, but it does take 2 to tango.

I was in section 11 row 87

“On this night, the brat who called a timeout needed to be put in one.”

Loco, you are so right, stranger things have happened and will happen, if you’re going to call a time out, you better call a defense. They were bunched up playing the run, so they went for the jugular. This is Division 1 Football!!!!!!! Beat the Wildcats.

This may be my first comment this season. I watched the early games and was pleasantly surprised. After the game against the Domers I was disappointed with the teams poor play. I thought the 2 point try by Stanford was low rent. The touchdown tonight with :50 left, hmmm, I’m not sure what to think. I’m afraid it may be perceived as petty, but I also believe Weasel mad his bed when he called the TO. O’ well, F the bRuins, it’s not like we give a shit about what they think. FIGHGT ON!

USC was taking a knee at the end of the quarter with less than a minute to go in the game obviously to let the game end but that pussycake slick rick called a time out hoping to force USC to punt the ball back to fucla so that that sack of shit craft could try to score another TD. USC wasn’t going to let the bRUINS have the ball back again with out putting up a fight

bRUINS: you don’t accept defeat and want to keep playing to win,so be it, you get what you asked for. Barkley immediately threw a TD pass to Damian on the next play.

Those of you who stayed for the whole game saw this( i’m not sure if it was broadcast on TV or not) but the whiney thugs from westwood then started prancing towards USC’s sideline trying to start some kind of street fight and started talking shit, the refs caught on to this and flagged fucla for an unsportsmanlike penalty and I believe a second unsportsmanlike penalty was called on the XP attempt as well. This was when the entire stadium chanted “U-S-C” and “We Are SC”. This obviously peeved the bRuins because they knew that there was nothing they could do about this and they would have to revel at the feet of the Trojans for another year.

But hey bRuins at least you have basketball right, LAWL!!!

Is Bill Plashcke serious?

So he really felt that if they got the ball back with say 45 sec. that they could pull it out, R I G H T. Rick has now put his job and team in jeopardy (Alex I will take FB programs in Ruin for 2,000) who has killed 2 college FB programs and is about to Rape another. Dude his boss should be asking him monday WHY, game was over and he almost cause a riot.

SAME OLD RICK AND WILL NEVER CHANGE.

Message to Slick Rick (and Mushroom & Co): You reap what you saw.

First of all, Mr “”http://blog.oregonlive.com/pac10/2009/10/pac-10_football_rick_neuheisel.html" target="new">Scoreboard Baby" is not an epitomy of class.

Lets do the math. 50 something secs left, SC kneels, bRuins call the TO. So what the hell is SC supposed to do? Run 2 plays that take may be 7-8 secs off the clock given 2 more TO’s in Ricky’s pocket and punt? Pete offered a sportsmanlike ending to the game by kneeling. Ricky refused. Given how shitty our special teams were, it would take a statistical and football miracle to pull it off. But don’t you think that if the final score was 21-14, Ricky would go on to say how close the game was and that they almost won and other non-sense about “monopoly schmonopoly”? I clearly saw Pete talking to Bates and pointing to the scoreboard and I speculate that they were discussing what the hell is going on and Bates seemed like poiting out that SC can’t run out the clock by kneeling.

Now, since Ricky wanted to play, Pete played. It’s fucla’s job to cover the receiver. First down would win it, but the bRuins were covering it near the 1st down marker.

Lets move forward…. How come no one is talking about the clown players jumping on top of our LS on the PAT and blatant agression that drew flags? How come no one is talking about Verner (?) tangling with the ref and sending him flying to the ground? Mushroom & Co were all over OJ Mayo fake ref diving incident, yet Verner’s behavior goes unnoticed?

F*ckface Ricky got what he deserved and payback is a b*tch. Should have never called a TO and let the game end.

Maybe he feels he will roll doubles and get past Boardwalk and pass go, but he doesn’t realize that Baltic ave. is the bottom of the barrel.

before i get into that, I want to note Plaschke’s article:

Said Carroll: “We’ve been saying it for years, living it for years . . . just compete.”

Said Neuheisel: “I don’t forget very much.”

SportsCenter analysts all agreed that it was just what Pete did. You had 4 quarters to compete and win, and you didn’t bring it. Save some grace, accept the kneel so we can all go home.

Slick Rick was like, “No, FU.” and took that TO to keep fighting. No one reasonbly thinks that USC was going to mess up and they will return it for a TD under a minute (although stranger things have happened). Pete responded to that TO with a remarkable, but now questionable, play. I suppose you can chalk it up to rivalries and egos. The latter of which Rick will make it his point to fuel his hatred for years to come – something of which Dorrell didn’t do and Rick doesn’t want to become.

As far as the team jumping and taunting goes, was that excessive celebration? Were any SC players crossing the sidelines? I can’t recall and the video doesn’t show much.

It’s a free country so heck with them, there no rules in a rivalry game none what so ever. I know this when we played our rival in HS we tried to score all the time, and that was with 3-4 string players in the game even the QB was a LB.
