USC has won 31 straight night games according to Lane Kiffin. I checked and he's actually right. He might not acknowledge player birthdays (like Pete Carroll) but he gets his stats right (so far).

Gee Wolfie, I guess Lane does know a thing or two about football. Pretty amazing that a D-1 coach is able to impress such an important sportswriter as you.
In Elvis voice, "hello everybody". I tried staying away and really I thought I would have the will power but this thing is so addicting. Okay guys I'm gonna try to more civil with you all, before you start to dislike me. hehehe
and multiple teams have made it to multiple BCS champeenship games: Fla St, OSU, Miami, OK, & Tex.
following the vacated Orange Bowl game which is stricken from the record books, Southern Cal has made it to one BCS champeenship game (and lost it to Tex).
who can forget that epic 4th & 2 play? the look on Reggie's face as he looked on helplessly from the sidelines will haunt me as long as i live :(

Don't you mean 31 straight *home* night games? Night game losses at Oregon in 2009 and at Oregon State in 2008 are a couple that come to mind.

Kiffin referred to 31 straight HOME wins at night. Otherwise just look at the last 2 trips to Oregon.
norcaltroy: listen buster, if wolf says it's 31 straight, it's 31 straight.
ummmm...well, ok if it's not right, then the only thing that i am thinking is it could be yet another copy editor gaffe by wolf's staff. due to the economy, wolf's staff has been somewhat compromised on occasion, but wolf keeps ooooooooooono scooopin'!!!!!

Both Oregon games as well as the Oregon State game aren't considered night games. They were like 5pm starts and it was still light out!
O...M...G just read Plaschke's column on Mr. Reggie.
except for wolf's sweeeeeet scooops, this is the finest piece i have read in ages.
(but don't worry wolf, you're still el numero uno!!)

Pete Carroll's time at USC will be remembered for many things (not all of them positive), but his handling of stats and players' birthdays should not be high on that list.

Here's hoping the UCLA game kicks off at 7:00 so we can put an end to another stupid SUC stat. Akeem Ayers is already licking his chops at the prospect of running down Fatt Barkley and your slow RBs.

sugary sweeeeeeet fact checking, wolfman!!!
glad to see Kiff can count like the "Count"!!
now i will count the number of BCS champeenships won by Pious Petey during his 9 year reign: er, uh....zero?
shocking considering the number of All Americans, all the number one recruiting classes, all the first round draft picks, and all the general hoopla!!
ironically, Kiff may actually win a BSC title someday where Pious Petey never did!!!
Same crap different day. Hey, how about those Bruins. Lookin like they might hit .600 this year Wolfie.
"Count" Smackula: Not many teams have BCS titles seeing as it's fairly new, but at least Pete Carroll won 2 AP national championships!

lbc: well, LSU and FLA both won 2 BCS titles.
