    Those chairs that they are using for a net are sooooo... Eastern European nouveau rich living in Monaco.

    After a trip to Versailles, Novak's mom ordered chairs like that for her son so that when he hosted Christmas dinners, they could all sit around like royalty.


    So funny.

    Opulence, he has it

  2. Ha, game from last April against Oakland is on ATTSW right now.  Baggy is in the booth talking about how guys are too worried about launch angle and always trying to hit home runs these days and they need to learn to go to all fields, pick up rbis, etc, etc.  Next pitch George smokes one to the Crawford boxes.

  3. While Quan was a freshman, he was also 22 years old.  He didn't play that much in 2005 anyway.  It was Sweed and Pittman and Ramonce split out quite a bit.  Quan and Brian Carter only played a little bit.  David Thomas led the team in catches and split out a good amount as well.  2019 Duvernay would have been in the rotation and might even have been our best receiver but I don't think he would have been a huge upgrade over the guys we had.

    I count only 3 guys on the 2019 team with the talent to start on that 2005 team - Duvernay, Ossai, and Dicker.

    I'll give you Dicker and maybe Cosmi.  I don't see it for any of the other guys.

    The lead-in show about Games of the Century actually had a good point. The playoff, for all its benefits, kind of kills the one off hype mentality of this kind of game. 

    The lead-up of an entire season all toward one game can't be replicated. I mean everyone kind of anticipates Alabama playing Clemson every year now but it's not the same. There are the semifinals to get through, etc. There were exactly 365 days of hype for this game. Once USC finished off Oklahoma for the title  on 1/4/2005 everyone was asking "but what if Texas played USC"? Sure 2004 USC should have been favored over 2004 Texas. But then people started thinking about Young with another year, USC losing a little on defense, etc. The hype started a full year before the game.

    Yeah, the playoff sucks and has diminished the regular season just like everyone said it would.

    Now that you mention it, it's crazy that USC didn't put Bush and White on the field more often. You'd be forcing defenses to make an incredibly tough choice every play. Sarkisian could have done so much more with USC's offensive talent than he did.

    They scored 50 points a game.  He really couldn't have.  And it was Norm Chow.  Derp, you're right, 2005 was the first year of the Kiffen/Sarkisian combo.

    This was always going to happen. Raising the doomsday alarm was the only way to mitigate the hospitals being overrun which in turn stopped the hospitals being overrun which makes the doomsday mockers believe they were right all along. 
     

     

    That's not really the arguments that I've read here the last couple of days.  It's more like some doomsdayers are still predicting doomsday and others are saying the mitigation efforts are helping...as they should or why would we be doing them?  I could have missed something though.
