USC Game Thread

[Logitano]

why is the guy with the phone holding a license plate? did he he steal it from a TJ O'Pootertoot's theme restaurant? Did he make it at his prison job? Does it say something about OJ finding the real killer?

Why is the guy in the upper left wearing an Indian headdress?

Is the girl wearing the cheerleader outfit? Is she a cheerleader? Why is she in the stands?

Are there any horse socks? Is anyone listening to me?

Yes, she was wearing a cheerleading outfit. Perhaps she is Angry Ty's song girl wife? She was at the tailgate next to the Logitano Army on Shea Field.

iii) I walked past the mods on Friday and it was like I was transported to the planet Dorkulon 9000. It was 75 degrees and sunny and there was zero activity. For shame, nerds. For shame. You would think with all this nerd power we would move up in the academic rankings, but last I checked, we are still around number 31. Boo-urns.

My friend went in there after the game and the cops had it on lock-down. No outdoor drinking allowed.
FWIW, Mary Ann's and Cityside were packed before and after the game.

The last USC team to allow this many yards rushing was in 1977, when Texas A&M gained 486 in the Bluebonnet Bowl. USC’s 20 yards rushing was its fewest since it gained 1 yard against Utah in the 2001 Las Vegas Bowl.

Some textbook reaction to a loss for USC fans:

Take shots at opposing fan base, express genuine concern for the growing "lack of class" in college football

Wah.

Ha.

A group of early 20s male USC fans took their shirts off (yes, TRE, I enjoyed it) and taunted my friends and I throughout the first half at the Colosseum last year (they left at halftime). I didn't feel compelled to write about it. Are we sure the author isn't Casey Lewis, the crying Packers fan?

[Endless Mike]

A whole student section chanting "Hey, you suck dick!" at a volleyball game. Have fun up on that high horse, Queef Bee.

[Endless Mike]

Even other USC fans are calling out that sourpuss blogger in the comments.

[TobaccoRoadEagle]

it's the southern cal bci site. i'm sure she just stole that whole article/concept from an illegal alien at another usc board

[footer20]

One thing to add about the receivers. Ever since Temple, Day and Addazio have emphasized the importance of receivers being able to block. I'm sure we'd rather have Shakim out there as would I, but I was fine with Crimmins and Bordner in the USC game for one reason: It's the first time we have stretched the field horizontally with the run game and Crimmins and Bordner did have terrific blocking games. I consider Bordner more of a tight end than a wide receiver. If we keep running the ball wide more, I'm fine with those guys out there, but I'd like to see Shakim on the field more, even if it means he must go where the ball isn't going, just to keep the defense honest. There aren'r more than a handful of defenses that can stop our run game without 8 in the box. We just have to be good and creative enough to keep 8 out of the box.

[footer20]

One more question: Better feeling of superiority over USC?

Rich Gunnell outrunning then top NFL prospect Taylor Mays ... or Tyler Murphy blowing past Adoree Jackson, #6 recruit in the country, reported 4.4 speed, on that last score.

Rachel cant even use her own name.

A weekly radio sports gossip segment called "The Buzz with the Queen Bee" on ESPN radio 106.1 FM out of Southern Utah.

Affirmative action radio??? She may have a nice rack.

I heard that from others as well. In that case, I invoke the (sort of) words of Ronald Reagan:

Father Leahy, tear down these mods.

There's really no point in having them. The population density on that valuable land is very low so there has got to be a better use for it.

Maybe a new quiddich field?

Can we keep the paisley gloves/shoes until we lose?

[wolverineneshl]

guy in the ski hat clearly just ripped one

He was sitting in front of me and I saw him outside walking into the stadium. I guess he was trying to make like it was a Trojan helmet with all those feathers but it looked more like a Indian bonnet than a helmet like a Spartan helmet.

After Tyler's scamper for the 66 yard TD, many started to file out thinking it was over but quite a few remained for the the final USC score and onside kick.

I was at mas from 2-5 and not only did they have nobody at the door, they only had one bartender. so once it took more than 5 min to get a drink, we just walked across the street to res and got 18 of bud light bottles and brought them back. it was quite enjoyable

Yup, we stopped by at 4:00 and there was no one working the door. Some guys who were outside smoking recommended we buy booze at Reservoir and bring it in because it was crowded. Friends of yours?

We did not end up going in because we had my friend's father-in-law with us and he recently had back surgery.

probably. the guy scanning ids as people walked in was a friend of mine too

[MF73-Eleazar]

Can't believe I forgot to mention that I got to sit next to Derrick Knight and his Mom Marsha at the game. Fantastic people. What a great time.

Awesome. All I got at the UMass game was to chat for 5 mins with my old pal, Tony Schwartz!

Can we correct the "first win over a top ten team in 10 years" mantra? My recollection is the VT was #8 on a fateful Thursday night in October in 2007 when most of Boston was watching the World Series and couldn't figure out why I was screaming at the TV for 3 and a half quarters.

CONFIRMED! http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/recap?gameId=272980259

Believe the correct quote was "first win by an unranked BC team over a top ten team in 10 years". Everybody was using all kinds of different stats that night. Guessing it was so unlikely that they had to scramble to find them. I did enjoy the flashback to BC beating ND in 1994 with the yellow endzones.

That article was a waste of my time.

i think that's the gal that dominoj called a seaward

So much class... https://twitter.com/THEREAL_LENDALE

Yes. That is why this is a stupid stat. Most teams rarely beat a top 10 team when they are unranked. For most Big Ums, they are almost always ranked when they play anyway. When was the last time Alabama took the field unranked, let alone beat a top 10 team while also unranked.

How often do you even play a top ten team. We dont always play a top ten team and we play Clemson and FSU annually.

[DuchesneEast]

2012 ND was #4
2011 None
2010 None
2009 Vtech was 5
2008 None
2007 none
2006 None
2005 FSU and Vtech
2004 WVU

So like you said BS stat, we only had 2 chances to even do it in the last 7 years.

And how many of those games involved us also being unranked at the time?

2013 isn't included here and I believe both Clemson and FSU were top 10.

Those are the times that we were unranked because it doesn't include VT in 07 either.
