Hopefully Brent and Herbie's boners have gone down.. the Rose Bowl is over. As per seemingly every friggen big bowl game between a warm city and a cold city played in ideal conditions it was a blow out. Everyone says the SEC Big 12 and Pac 10 are just superior conferences. Did anyone ever think it might be the northern teams have to travel farther and in conditions they are not necessarily used to?
According to the play by play guys USC has one of the greatest defenses in the history of college football. I guess the greatest defenses and supposed national champion caliber teams give up 17 points in the second half and get outscored. The final was 38-24 and might not have been as close as it seems. Or was it...
I just hope you had the Trojans and the over cause those were both obvious locks. But anyone who had money on this game had to be nervous when, with 40+ seconds left the Trojans attempted to punt from about mid field and the ball went sailing over the punters head. Immediately I thought, shit, back door covered. Then I thought maybe Vegas fixed the game and was about to make crazy bank since the money was going on the Trojans. But in the end I lucked out and USC covered. But I digress.
Basically USC isn't one of the greatest teams ever. They lost to an average Oregon State team and don't deserve to play in the National Championship. They played a team with a coach who is so old he can't even stand on the sidelines and they don't even have to recruit cause players come to them.
The Big 12 has had a superior season and probably deserves both teams from the conference to play in the Championship. Whatever, the whole system is stupid any way. There should be a playoff. But just don't compare this team to the 2004 Auburn team that went undefeated and were blocked from playing for the title.
Oh and note to Keyshawn.. STFU. Stop saying we. You were a decent player for a decade who was always a primadona and not worthy of the #1 overall pick.
And completely off topic. How was Stafford not awarded a goal in the 3rd period??!??
Seriously could ABC suck USC's dick any more? Most biased coverage of a bowl game I've ever witnessed. How many more times do we need an ABC/ESPN correspondent ask USC if they'd like to have a chance to play the winner of Florida/Oklahoma?
ReplyDeleteOne of the worst lines was when they zoomed in on #2 for USC and Kirk said something to the extent of "does anyone look better in a uniform?"
