Should be a great crowd. What else is there to do for college students in Los Angeles on a Saturday night at 8:00?

I said before that this is some Game of Thrones level behavior from the Pig 2. Ask for help from the Mountain West, agree to an alliance of sorts, and then run your sword across their neck. I wouldn’t expect anything less.

Storm L.A.!

Utah State is in. Only one more team to add and they get to be a real conference.

Former Duck Dontae Thornton with the big TD reception for a TD. Iamalaeva reminds me of 2012 Mariota.

The ACC is horrible. Mario will easily have a first round bye.

I think USC is one dimensional. Their run game isn’t good.

Either the USC OL is bad or Michigan’s front 7 is great.

It might be time for Mack Brown to retire.

Michigan offense is one dimensional, but their defense is solid against USC.

Illinois is going to be a problem later in the season.

Bray: "We beat ourselves." Duck fans: "Beating yourselves by 5 TD's is pretty amazing. We finally found something you do well."

I think it depends on how well he would have done with Bo as his QB. He kind of disappeared in UCLA's offensive system.

It’s hard to believe how much of a difference a Heisman level QB can make in college football. There are a few cases in the NFL where teams can overcome an injured QB and still win the Super Bowl. Jeff Hostetler and Nick Foles come to mind as back-ups who won the championship.

Last year’s team lost a lot of guys and DeBoer recruited horribly. He recruited like he was going to leave no matter if Saban left Bama or not. He told the Fuskies he was going out for a pack of smokes and never came back. At least Mario left Lanning with a pretty good OL and Troy Franklin.

In the 2009 Civil War Masoli converted his 4th down with about 3:30 left in the game. Barner picked up the final 4th and 2 play with about 1:30 left to ice it. Masoli kneeled it out after Barner’s 4th down conversion.

I don’t know if it’s my favorite, but the most satisfying was the 2020 Rose Bowl win vs. Wisconsin. It was a very ugly game offensively, but watching those Seniors hoist the trophy after what they had been through as Freshmen was great to see.

This lady seemed a little verklempt due to the opening six seconds of the game.

I heard The Spirit of 77 was good. I’ve not been there though.

Maybe Teresa Gould will offer Nevarez a low paying job as her gopher at the Pac-6 after gutting her conference. This is all very "Game of Thrones".

This is a good read. Apparently, the MWC thought that they were operating from a position of strength when negotiating their scheduling agreement with the Pac 2. The year two scheduling agreement negotiations fell through when the Pac 2 decided to poach four MWC teams. Now it looks like the Pac 2 could be paying not only the poaching fees in the agreement, but also the exit fees of the teams it is gaining. "The Mountain West, sources said, felt protected by its bylaws and a poaching fee included in a football scheduling agreement it signed with the Pac-12 in December. To leave the conference, a school is required to pay roughly $18 million with two years of notice and $36 million with a one-year notice. And if the Pac-12 accepted a Mountain West school as a new member, the Pac-12 would be required to pay a $10 million fee, with escalators of $500,000 more for each additional school. (The four-school fee for Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State and San Diego State is $43 million.)" Inside the Pac-12's four-team expansion - ESPN WWW.ESPN.COM From 12 to 2 to 6 schools and counting, here's how the foremost western conference stayed alive.

Dan Lanning channeled Kirby Smart with this post game comment about Beavis. "I think we have more talent right now than they do."

Is he about to start an alternative college football league?

Here are some pictures of an Alaskan Rainbow trout and a Dolly Varden. I never really posed with fish because I fished by myself a lot…or so I thought. Apparently, I wasn’t the only one who fished these remote spots.
