Actually South Carolina College was founded in 1801. They did not call themselves USC until 1906. :wink:

The Cal and Tenn game wasn't even fun to watch. Good call Ethan.

Fun article on college football.

It just goes to prove that the PAC-10 is WEAK!!!

My betting rule (for entertainment purposes only) when it comes to America's Team is "Never at home. Always on the road!" I made that pick as an alumnus, not as a man looking to make some money. Then again, it was the PAC-10 and they, as stated before, are WEAK!!!

Go Vols! Beat Air Force!

If we beat Air Force, are we then unAmerican?

And I thought Tenn. was good. I guess Cal just really sucks. Just kidding, Cal was an absolute embarrassment...again. What a Rocky Top whoopin'. I am so glad I go to USC and not the University of the Pacific Ten!


I think I went 1-5, what a master prognosticator. I guess I won't be handicapping next weeks games. I got the only one I cared about though. I thought we looked pretty tough tonight...reloaded and ready to roll.

what is with the "pin back the ears" comment on espn, espn2, and ABC this weekend? Seems like every defense had finally just "pinned back the ears " and started coming. I heard that phrase in 5 different games. ESPN trying to push through a new catch phrase?

Miami over FSU.

Hurricanes defense will dominate another lackluster FSU offense.

I was so bitter last night to see former America's Team offensive coord, Randy Sanders aka Sandy Randers, on the sidelines for Kenlucky calling those deep bombs.

Louisville has to get a defense in order to compete. If Sandy Randers can eat you alive with the deep bomb, whatcha gonna do when you play a real team? Thanks anyhow for winning by 22.5+, though. 4-0. All I need is old man Bowden coming through tonight.

Go Vols! Beat Air Force!
