I so love the innocent expressions the well trained fuzzball defenders put on following a stunt like the late hit on Nix, or the massive shirt grab on the ASU receiver late into day's game. Both could easily have amounted to taking points off the board for the hapless UW opponents, as well as, at least in the case of Bo and the guilty defender, could have resulted in serious injury.

The refs appear to be giving the Fuzzballs every consideration... But that untimely Pick6 Bourquet just threw may be enough to seal ASU's fate.

ASU is fighting for every yard... If the Fuzzies lose, they'll drop like a rock.

Tie breaker could be which cheer leaders are the best dressed...

Fuskie donated interceptions and fumble-itis are keeping ASU slightly ahead... Penix looks completely different this week.

UW may be shopping...

Methinks Penix may be more beat down than we thought... Intercepted twice, sacked at least once, score 0-0 3 minutes into the 2nd quarter.

Utes seem to have found an offense

USC down 21-14 with 5:00 to go in the third

I think the refs are on vacation...

Earlier, I was lamenting the lack of pressure on Ward...

This isn't the crew poached by the B1G, is it?

There was an article this week stating Oregon had the 3rd best cheer uniforms in the country... Behind LSU and Michigan. MSN WWW.MSN.COM

Nice couple of plays for Tez, followed by a great juke and run by Bucky!

Holding... How did the refs spot that?

Pretty much have to call bs on the helmet to helmet involving Bo last week... Bo was obviously down when the the defender came in well after he was down... leading with the helmet! That has been one of the main points that has been emphasized for several years. Can't wait for a (hopeful) upgrade in the B1G, but that would require their newly acquired PAC 12 contingent being sent for remedial education, would it not?

Remember Ronnie Lee being the torture tester for Nikes foray into basketball gear? BTW, I was class of '71 on the hill as well! I remember Russ Francis trying for a tip in on the basketball court and repeatedlly bouncing the ball off the bottom of the rim multiple times in succession before either scoring or sttling for a rebound. No lack of effort there!

He's riding the dominance of his abilities as far as it'll 'stretch'...

Dandy, but I'm sure Coach Lanning would take a a Vegas re-match and a natty invitation over that award every day of the week, and twice on Sunday! Anything more is gravy!

In the second stanza, it seemed like, for extended times, the vaunted downfield passing game of Stein's offense simply disappeared against the fuskies.

At least one idea is buzzing around in my head... could eat be that coach has a trust issue with the kicking game? IMO, DL needs to get another dependable kicking specialist. Cam Lewis is having issues right now, and it would be a huge boon to have at least a viable alternative.

How did Saban or Smart look at this point in their careers? "Methinks thou dost protest too much." I am as disappointed in the outcome as anyone, but we are going to have a few growing pains, and if CDL can keep this transport on the right trajectory, he could definitely prove to be Mr. Right... Just maybe not Mr. Right NOW! (How's that for a mixed metafor?)

Wow. Usuc looks like the do suc in this game. ND created 3 turnovers in the last 3 minutes... 48-30 is gonna leave a mark. Sad to say but ND is gonna jump in the polls.

Bucky is tearing it up... He deserved a shot.
