Dear God no...

Well, well, well.

Look who was right, AGAIN? Las Vegas Bowl, anyone? Hopefully, we can run into lots of hotties from the South, they are like nymphos! But like I said, and which PH55 refuted, LAS VEGAS BOWL, baby! We now will lose to Cal, Oregon, ASU, and maybe UCLA. We already lost to Stanford! VIVA LAS VEGAS!!!!!! For the $$$, EASY WOMEN, and BOOZE!

I said it last year. You schmucks did not believe me.

I said it again this year, and NOW all you homers are seeing the light!

Booty sucks, plain and simple.

That is why I made lots of money last night because I knew there was no way SC would cover the spread of 41 pts. after what happened vs. Idaho, as well as UW last week. Because Booty is the QB for the most part. But also because Stafon was not playing (at least according to reports before the game), and Chauncey runs as if he has SNOW BOOTS on! Plus, I learned to ALWAYS BET AGAINST USC IN PAC-10 GAMES!

Let's just say that I will keep posting on this blog, but probably just to laugh at all you schmucks and reiterate how correct I have been all along! HAHA!

Notorious David, I will take a look at those stocks you suggested. However, with betting on college football, the money helps make the game even more enjoyable! (and rewarding because Booty is a stiff!-how can you not take your chances on Stanford at +40.5 and Booty under center? LOL)

But I will keep reading the blog even though I might no post as much. Just keep the stock tips coming, bro!

Scott, you should be like Mandel of SI.com. He calls for the Mark Sanchez era to begin:

John David Booty played the entire game despite injuring his finger in the first half.

1) That Pete Carroll is facing his first true crisis. Following the most stunning defeat imaginable (in its own stadium, no less) USC must deal with more than just the humiliation of losing fingers. Unlike after previous losses, the Trojans can't just snap their fingers and instantly rise back up the polls. In one unthinkable evening, the very tenants that fostered the aura of invincibility that's surrounded Carroll's program these past five years -- that no individual is irreplaceable, that no problem that comes up can't be fixed, that the Trojans' recruiting machine just keeps humming and that freshmen can step in and shine right away -- were shattered.

If he hasn't already, Carroll must come to grips with the fact that apparently, some people are irreplaceable -- like two renowned offensive coordinators (Norm Chow and Lane Kiffin, both now in the NFL), two straight Heisman QBs (Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart) and a pair of NFL receivers (Steve Smith and Dwayne Jarrett). He must deal with the fact that USC's offense, specifically its passing game, is in shambles; that a quarterback, John David Booty, for whom he undoubtedly feels extreme loyalty (Booty skipped his final year of high school for Carroll, then waited nearly four years to see the field), is now hurting his team more than he's helping; and that his latest batch of blue-chip receivers simply isn't panning out. Booty, who injured a finger on his throwing hand in the first half Saturday yet for some reason played the rest of the way, has thrown six interceptions in two weeks, two of them returned for touchdowns. His third of the night set up Stanford's improbable game-winning drive.

Booty's struggles are admittedly not 100 percent of his own making. But this isn't the NFL. Carroll can't go out and find a couple free-agent receivers mid-season who don't drop balls like they weigh 100 pounds. He can't magically make a bunch of freshmen and sophomores grow up faster. But he can make the tough but necessary decision to change quarterbacks. It's not like Booty's backup, Mark Sanchez, is chopped liver. Maybe he can spark the Trojans' offense with his ability to move in the pocket and his noted touch on the deep ball. And it may well turn out he has a better rapport with the likes of Patrick Turner and Vidal Hazelton simply by having practiced with them on the second string and scout team these past couple of years. Sanchez doesn't need to part the seas. No one expects him to lead the Trojans back to the national title game (yet) because no one expects these Trojans to wind up back in the hunt (Cal, Oregon and Arizona State must be foaming at the mouth after Saturday night). But perhaps he can at least stop the bleeding -- and, in doing so, resuscitate the notion that the next set of USC stars is always waiting in the wings.

You guys suck!

Your running back CW, I noticed that he runs right into the back of the O-Lineman while they are trying to block for him which slows him down and allows the defenders to get to him.

Sometime looks like he hits the line with his eyes shut.

I think Booty does the same thing when he throws the ball though..ROFL!

13-9

I hate to agree but these fools are right.

This may be a blessing in disguise. I'm pretty sure in the back of Coach Carroll's mind he wants to bench Booty but he doesn't wanna hurt Booty's self confidence. This may be a good thing for the team.

Ultimately though, it's not gonna matter. Season over folks. Let's face it and move on to next year.

He looked like a 7 year old in a dark room with the closet open and the Boogie Man peeking out against Stanford, a team we man handeled.

What a pussy. He played like a scared little pussy and this should be his new style from now on...

13-9

It could've been worse; we could've been blown out by an 0-5 team with the worse offense in america.

Uh, last I checked, UCLA wasn't a #2 RANKED team in the country getting beaten by an UNRANKED and crappy Stanford......UCLA losing to ND was something I expected to happen under KD..........and isn't really that bad compared to $C's loss to Stanford.......unranked UCLA losing to unranked ND not as bad as #2 ranked U$C losing to unranked Stanford...........watching Stanford win on the TV in the Rose Bowl pressbox was the hilite of the UCLA game.........the only time that anybody cheered at the Rose Bowl during the game............hey, at least I have SOMETHING to be happy about! If UCLA is going to suck, at least U$C can suck too..........it is okay if UCLA loses so long as U$C doesn't win the conference, or get invited to a BCS Bowl game........CHOKE ON! (U$C's new motto!)

Hey 100 NCAA Titles

I wouldn't laugh so hard. You guys have lost to 2 winless teams this season, Utah and Notre Dame.
I believe this means that Appalachian St. is better than you because thay beat Mich. which beat ND which beat YOU!

So much for wanting to be a national contender!
