Goatboy is always on the edge .. no wonder he has had 5 jobs in the last 10 years. That will never change.

Bucket is here. He put up the first comment. He will be avoiding certain subjects for a while though.

GOOD GOATBOY…LET THE BUTTHURT FLOW THROUGH YOU

USC totally unimpressive, Utah is just horrendous. Nof offense, and a shitty defense. Arizona lit them up 37-7 the week before. It was funny listening to the announcers magnifying ever good thing Barkley would do, you give my grandma 10 seconds to throw the ball, and even she would find open receivers, Utah sucks.

If Tom Peters is still “In Search of Excellence”, tell him to watch a rerun of last night’s game on ESPN U!

Most excellent of all, I told our players to intentionally allow Utah to go up by 14, so that I could confiscate Bucket’s favorite plaything — his bogus claim that Barkley has never led a come-from-behind victory. MOST EXCELLENT INDEED!

I hear that there is a movie in theaters called “The Master” — no doubt, you will be surprised to learn that this film is NOT about ME!

Cash Money Geniu$, haterz!

Kiffin’s play calling last night was excellent. I was impressed. You can definitely tell that Kiffin really learned a lot from his internship under Norm Chow. After giving 14 points in the first 2 minutes, most coaches would have given up and let someone more competent call the plays. However, Kiffin showed persistence and recovered beautifully. It appears to be smooth sailing the rest of the way straight to the BCS NC match with Alabama Crimson Tide.

I was also impressed by Kiffin Senior. The Defense was “shutdown” all evening and showed true grit containing Utah’s mobile and experienced QB. Senior did not panic when Junior’s offense gave up the first 14 points. Way to show what Senior and the D is made of. The D is the backbone of this team.

@dtksr1: Spot-on dude. Barkley may have played his best game ever. Lee is just phenomenal and Woods was good. Redd & Morgan ran well, although total rushing yards was not very impressive. After those first couple of… um… “drives” USC’s OL played well. Heidari struggled and Negrete followed up a great punt in the 1st Q with a lousy punt in the 2nd Q. By my count Kiffin called 29 running plays & 31 passing plays. Overall I would have like to have seen 1 or 2 more 1st downs & more production from the running game. USC was perfect after reaching the RZ (the only time they didn’t score from inside the 20 was when they were running out clock to end the game).

McDonald led the team with 9 tackles. Pullard had 7 tackles & forced a fumble (although it was recovered by UT). Robey was the star with 7 tackles, a forced fumble & a pick 6. Breslin who recorded 5 solo tackles including 1 for loss recovered the fumble forced by Robey. And Horton had 4 tackles including 1 for loss & a sack. As a unit the D was great. Pass efficiency D could have been a better but it wasn’t bad. And they allowed UT to score from the RZ 3 out of 3 times. But they only allowed 95 yards rushing, 3 of 12 3rd down attempts & 15 1st downs.

After Holmes decided personally to go ahead & spot UT 14 points the team played well except for all those penalties, 14 for 100 yards!

@spedjones: Yes they do. Players are remembered for their performance in great games and for their overall stats. While Barkley’s not likely to be remembered for his exceptional performance against UT in 2012 his outstanding pass efficiency rating of 194.51 will count toward his season and career rating. I don’t know if he’s ever had a better performance in a single game. By the way, Bruin, your team is looking relatively good. I was sure Neuheisel was the guy but maybe it’s Mora the Younger. It would be great to see USC & UCLA dominate the P12 the way Alabama & LSU dominate the SEC. Does the Daily News have a blog for Bruins?

Hilarious to see trOJan fans celebrate a win over a lousy team, especially when calling yourselves a superior program, even us Bruin fans didn’t celebrate our 42-14 domination of a lowly Colorado. Yes indeed, times have changed.
