While in my heart of hearts I'd like nothing more than a Miami loss (except a Florida loss), it does us (and the ACC) good if they win. So I'm hoping they pull it out.

And I hope that BC can grab another good win. It's all about making those conference wins mean something.

The Best, absolute best part about being a USC fan is when the Irish are having a good year and we beat them. Weiss,the greatest coach in the history of college sports being ND`s GOD, makes beating them all that much sweeter.

Me too, maybe its a litle homer vision, but I think the Huskers are better than being beat by twenty. USC has shown many times that they can be beat being ran between the tackles and passing up the middle ,two things Nebraska has paid special attention too. We only lose by 10 in this contest if at all.

Yeah, but so what, USC players and fans have been billbord material for the Huskers the last two weeks, heck USC's center said Nebraska was a nobody to him the monday before last.

Thanks for proving my point. In the mean time, I`m sure that you will want to know that SC`s kick returner, Reed, will be able to play this season after being injured and out last season. He hurt a knee trying to make a cut on a kick off in the ankle deep grass Weiss ordered at South Bend last year.

UM has kept us from four additional titles either by beating us duuring the season or being ranked just ahead of us at the end..........I just want them to lose every week regardless of what it does t the conference standings.

I couldn't agree more, but let's beat The Children of the Corn this Saturday first and let's beat them silly. Let's make their trip to the Coliseum a memorable one. Then we'll worry 'bout the Irish!

Fight On for ol’ SC
Our men Fight On to victory.
Our Alma Mater dear,
looks up to you
Fight On and win
For ol’ SC
Fight On to victory
Fight On!

Week Two gave everyone the earliest #1 vs. #2 showdown in modern college football history. The game, however, turned out to not really live up to the hype.

That's mostly because OSU DID live up to the hype. What's really bad, is that there were a number of times that they weren't firing on all cylinders. That may be attributable to playing so many second and third-stringers.

When they get their act together, they'll be truly gross - though complete blowouts will be limited by Tressels tendency to turn down the offense once OSU is up by more than 2 TDs.

I expected the Texas offense to muster rather more of a challenge to the OSU defense.

The Pac Ten only wins in bowl games against the slooooooooooooooow teams from the Big Ten.

3 time zones out of synch and 50 degrees warmer.

So did I.

Well the Northern Illinois gave us a glimpse at his coaching philosophy.

Get up early and sit on the ball and let your defense hold the lead.

Just think, there are only 2 seniors on that defense. They will be scary in the next couple years.
