My fault, I saw the game advertised on a billboard around here for Cincinnati football and assumed UC was the home team for that.

What I really like about USF right now is they've got:

Either way, I was just funnin' with you. Point being is that almost every college game can be spun positively or negatively...for instance, what I've kept hearing this year is that VT has played like crap in every game (that opinion was illustrated when I saw that Craig James didn't even rank us on his AP ballot after the Clemson win) and I'm of the opinion that we're doing good. I mean, I keep seeing other ranked teams fall to unranked teams and we manage to keep winning and getting no credit for it. Like I said, though, I was just putting the counter spin to your comments to pull your chain. |

Gah, can't believe I screwed up Auburn. I thought they were up there when we played them. And I understand the pulling my chain. I'm just trying to clarify that I'm not using these as examples of why they should be rated #2, but rather that I feel better about the upcoming big games because they've already come through situations that are similar. Ordinarily I'd be going "uh oh, big night game on national TV against Rutgers", but when I realise they've already done the "big night game on national TV" and won, I remove that from the equation and just go "uh oh, they have to beat Rutgers".

South Florida has already played the two best teams on their schedule. They may lose a game, but if they do, I think it'll be as big an upset as LSU losing to Kentucky was.

Once again, you're crazy, and I mean that in the nicest way possible (re: comment #2, not #1). |

I never get offended when people call me crazy. Usually, they have a pretty good case. |

Ummm... :o More seriously, we were clearly overmatched, but the game could have turned out somewhat differently if Brink hadn't melted down in the first quarter. Two INTs deep in Oregon territory, plus a fumble, really killed us. I have no illusions that we would have won, but the slaughter factor would have been reduced. As for Autzen, it is a remarkable setting. I was dressed in Cougar garb, as was my one friend; my other friend - a Husky - was wearing an unmarked purple Nike windbreaker and caught more verbal shit for that than we did. the worst I heard was a few college-age guys scrinching up there face at me and saying "Cougars" like an old woman (whatever). There were ample Cougs in the stands, but the place just rocked with green and gold. They represent their team very well. The stadium itself was like walking into the Roman Collosseum as a Christian. I've never experienced anything quite like it.
