If that's true, BYU pours it on on UCLA, which to my recollection hasn't done a thing to them, because of other stuff, one day there will be a reckoning. That I guarantee. The program is in the dumps now, but it won't be for long--and BYU is a fairly common nonconf opponent for us.

At least I don't have to worry about the team this year, lol. When does basketball start.

Honestly as a fan, even though we won last week, we feel the call overshadowed it. UW was tough for us. We have not won OOC on the road in 7 years so it was a big win and we are being told it was a "gift"

So UCLA gets our attitude for the rest of the nation...especially Mark May

The commissioner Tom Hansen is stepping down (or just did, I forget). He's the longtime commissioner and has basically been behind all the crap I can't stand about the conference, and I am crossing my fingers we'll get a guy in there to replace him that is a little--no, a LOT--more forward thinking.

3 games in 1 year has created a nice rivalry, I cheered for UCLA against Tenn, I like the Pac - 10 except for when we play against them.

I can understand that. That said, I don't think there is any doubt that a blowout where BYU pours it on is not going to be forgotten in Westwood.

I like BYU and Utah (I know, you don't like Utah, not our rival

), so generally I wish them well. But obviously I don't like getting kicked in the nuts repeatedly when, really, three or four times will clearly do.

About time. Better than USC. When they're beating the snuffing out of us, Carroll keeps the starters in well into the fourth quarter and goes for it on midfield fourth and long situations.

They were rotated in throughout the last 6 minutes of the 3rd.

Hall, Fui, Unga, Pitta and most of the WR's are out. Some of our OL are out and most of the defense has rotated (except our CBs)

While I was no big fan of Hansen, let's not forget that he was acting under the orders of the Pac-10 school presidents for most important decisions. Hansen stepping down isn't going to change a whole lot, other than maybe the new guy will place greater emphasis on improving the officiating.

The Pac 10 presidents suck then.

There is good news. This game is on Versus. No one watches that channel except Tour de France fans in June and hockey fans from October until May. We're in September, so all good.

Phat Phil. Man, what a bucket o' lard of a coach he must be. Tennessee deserves better.

Karlifornia · 09-13-2008, 05:32 PM

Anyone think second-tier South Carolina wins this game? I can't see Georgia losing.

Karlifornia · 09-13-2008, 05:40 PM

Like clockwork, South Carolina fumbles it into the endzone and Georgia recovers. The Ol' Ball Coach just can't get over that hump!

It's sad how far they have fallen.

Oh great. With ND winning, they are already BCS eligible.

Karlifornia · 09-13-2008, 06:25 PM

Time for Oregon to run the ball.

kingnebwsu · 09-13-2008, 06:39 PM

Less than 30 minutes til the butt-whoopin' that USC is gonna give Ohio State. This is reminding me so much of the Miami/Ohio State championship game of 2003. Like, it's really eerie to me.

I think USC should beat Ohio State by two TD's. I also thought that Miami should have beaten Ohio State by two TD's in 2003.

I would seriously love to see Ohio State win just so all the "experts" will have to suck it long and suck it hard. I remember Mark May and Trev Alberts almost choking on their words when they had to say that OSU won the game back in '03. I'd love to see Mark May have to eat his words again.

Gonna be really tough though...USC is pretty amazing. We'll see what happens...

Eaglesfan27 · 09-13-2008, 07:25 PM

Great start for USC. I haven't been this excited for a game in a few years.

miami_fan · 09-13-2008, 07:37 PM

Ohio State is looking good. USC needs to relax a bit

Eaglesfan27 · 09-13-2008, 07:57 PM

Havili might be one of my favorite Trojans ever, and I don't know why. I just love seeing him play and make big plays.

JetsIn06 · 09-13-2008, 08:01 PM

Quick question...why do some Ohio St. players have the name jersey #? I saw #1 on offense and defense, thinking it was a two-way guy. But then I looked at their roster online and see that there are about twenty sets of multiple numbers. There are THREE #16's.

Someone please help me out here.

Eaglesfan27 · 09-13-2008, 08:03 PM

A lot of college teams have guys with the same number. However, I don't remember too many having 3 guys with the same number. USC has Gable and Taylor Mays with the same number among others.

Dr. Sak · 09-13-2008, 08:03 PM

You can have multiple numbers just as long as they don't play both ways.

JetsIn06 · 09-13-2008, 08:09 PM

Wow. I had no idea. Here's the roster from OSU's site with the three #'s.

16	Domicone, Zach	DB	6-3	215	Fr.	Xenia, Ohio (Beavercreek)
16	Oltorik, Ross	QB	6-2	210	Fr.	Cincinnati, Ohio (Moeller)
16	Schuck, Ryan	WR	6-0	204	Jr.	Selinsgrove, Pa. (Selinsgrove Area)

Vegas Vic · 09-13-2008, 08:12 PM

Oklahoma is slaughtering Washington in the 2nd quarter, 34-0. Sam Bradford is 13 out of 16 for 142 yards and 3 TD's. OU has also rushed for 188 yards.

I wonder who thought that would be a good game for Saturday prime time

sterlingice · 09-13-2008, 08:22 PM

Big Fo · 09-13-2008, 08:29 PM

Reports of USC fans already singing "overrated, overrated..." when up 14-3 in the second quarter means I'm now hoping OSU pull off an upset. It's a bit early for that.

Eaglesfan27 · 09-13-2008, 08:34 PM

Rey Rey!!!

DeToxRox · 09-13-2008, 08:45 PM

Once again the Vest is being outclassed by an elite head coach. Yeah Beanie isn't playing, but even with Beanie, this game isn't close. Quit playing so close to the vest .. Pardon the pun.

miami_fan · 09-13-2008, 08:45 PM

OSU HAS to hold them here. A TD before the half would be the death knell for them.

DeToxRox · 09-13-2008, 08:46 PM

Stepping on the field was the Death knell for them.

Vegas Vic · 09-13-2008, 08:47 PM

First offensive series for Oklahoma in the 3rd quarter, 77 yard TD pass from Bradford to Broyles. 41-0, Oklahoma.

Now, because Emmert didn't have the balls to face criticism last December if he fired Ty, we Husky fans have to suffer through a lame duck, lost season. Ty stands almost no chance of winning enough games to keep his job, but he's burning redshirts left and right to avoid that fate and meanwhile most quality recruits are avoiding the UW right now.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if he doesn't last through this week. This is just horrendus.
