    Real shitty deal.  We tailgated within a few hundred yards of this spot for years.  I had no clue there was a homeless camp in the woods.  She was supposed to be honored at our game on Saturday, and I think the team is going to be wearing some extra yellow/gold in her memory, and a helmet decal for the remainder of the season.

    Who owns the acreage where the homeless camp was located?  Wouldn’t surprise me if it’s the city or county because governmental screwups happen so frequently. If it’s the golf club, wtf were they thinking letting something like that exist?

    In a slalom course, you're supposed to drive the boat between the buoys, not over them. The course must have been pretty solidly anchored for the ropes to stop the boat like that, though. I'm impressed by the stop and the stupidity.

    I expected a cinder block as the anchor. 

  3. There is a 3 star SDE from Westlake named David Neil who looks suspiciously like Dan Neil. Any chance we pursue him as a preferred walk-on like we did Blake Brockermeyer’s son last year? Some of these guys are bound to be under-the-radar finds who can get meaningful reps.  If Dave is half as mean as Dan, I’d like to have him.

    Scores TD for Northland Community and Technical College in upset loss to Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College. 

    I am not making these schools up. Others in the conference include North Dakota State College of Science, Mesabi Range College, Minnesota West, Minnesota State-Fergus Falls, and Dakota State. 

    Dakota State is NAIA, not NJCAA. A guy who played football there was in our group at the Rose Bowl. He told a few people that he played for the Trojans in the early 80s, which he did.  /csb

    I'm not sure how much contact he even made but it looked like the step right before he threw his hand out was the one where the kicker tore it.

    One of the interviews with a USC guy referred to it as a noncontact injury. I think he was trying to juke a Texas blocker before going into heat-seeking missile mode.

    LHN airing the game Tuesday at 4pm and 9pm.

    I wonder how many times they’ll skip ahead to further action?  Probably just enough to piss off those of us who like to watch defensive domination.

    Just curious, I was in a bar watching the Texas game with the sound down.  That uncalled safety in the first half which sure as hell looked like a safety to me could have been a huge turning point in the game.  Since I couldn't hear what was being discussed, what was the reasoning for not calling it a safety?  Does the same rule apply in reverse to a safety ball crossing the appropriate "front" of the line that a TD does?  I'm not clear on that ruling.

    It cost USC two points, but they stopped Texas and got the ball back at mid-field, which is probably better than they would have gotten if we punted from the 20 after the safety. I don’t think it was that huge of a turning point. 

    USC got away with the most blatant hold of the game on their first TD, and the log pass inside the 5 that set up their 2nd TD wasn’t a catch. USC rushed to the LOS to run off another play to prevent the replay official from stopping action for a review.

  8. Did anyone bitching about the non-safety mention the blatant hold on their first TD or the trapped ball on the long reception that lead to their 2nd TD?

     

    Sorry for sounding like a sore winner.  It's just that the only USC fan I know is my daughter's college soccer coach.  A few of her teammates watched the game on a road trip, and she said she really had to bite her tongue.  He's not a USC grad though, just an LA guy.

  9. The thing I disliked the most is that the "expert" seemed to downplay the hit on Sam, saying that the defender didn't lower his head (he did) and that the top of the helmet didn't connect with Sam's jawline (it did).  But, when the Texas player does it on a ball carrier running right at him (as opposed to the QB throwing a pass), it's "textbook" targeting.  Fuck that California rationalizing expert.  His attitude regarding the hit on Sam was that it had to be called targeting, but only because that's the way the rule was written.

    A whole lot of kids committed before the season and  a whole lot of kids committed after a loss. This season will not make or break this recruiting class. 85% of the class will have made their decision before a third of the season is complete. This season is more for the upcoming years.

    A whole lot of kids committed after the Maryland game?

    Must’ve been silent commits.

    After carters tweet after last game, I’m betting he transfers

    Welllllll?  We’re waiting.  What did he tweet?  Some of us are casual visitors.

    Whenever someone brings up VY's knee being down, it's like - you realize it still would have been first and goal, right?  I'd like our chances to still get 6 there.

    And after we score, we don’t rush and miss the extra point, AND a minute or more is run off the clock meaning USC doesn’t get their FG just before halftime.
