Where can you get one of those house divided flags? I have often described us as a mixed marriage - I'm the aggie, he's the techie.

He went to the hospital and regained use of his arms and legs and so far seems like he will be ok.

Yep, we'll know a lot more about these teams after the game next week. One thing I know is that the Gators cannot afford another slow start in this one. LSU probably is the most athletic team we face all year.

I watched part of the Nebraska-KU game, and the one thing I thought of, after seeing the Kansas coach is that, one day that guy is going to drop dead of a heart attack in the middle of game. I mean how do you let yourself get that big? He makes Parcells look like Twiggy.

I know that if USC and Ohio State/Michigan run the table, that probably the SEC winner will get "Au-Burned" by the BCS.

Maybe Florida has a better non-conference schedule than some of the other SEC schools, but I don't know if it will be enough. I wanted WSU to beat USC so bad, darn they were so close.

USC has been hit with a lot of injuries.

They have new people filling some key spots and Washington had a great game from what I saw.
I look for them to upset some teams along the way this year IMO

USC also played badly in every way tonight as Washington had a great game.

USC still won playing it's worst game all year, which is what you have to do sometimes.

I've played some competitive sports where you are in a tournament, nothing is going your way, you opponent is playing out of their shorts and you are far less than average.
To win under that circumstance is something you just do when overall you are a good team IMO.

Actually, if you add up all the players who left for the NFL /graduated and add them to the numerous players already injured, I have no problem with the team. I just think some USC fans have unreasonable expectations from the team and that, as of right now, there are some better teams in college football.

My main problem tonight was with some of the guys doing a pregame stomp on the Washington State logo. It's bush league and has never been part of USC. I'm sure Carroll will address this.

Kirk Ferentz either needs to give back 60% of his salary, or resign. He is being paid more than several coaches who have won national championships. Either he gives the Iowa fans a national championship, or he gives back his salary.

I for sure think they are in a rebuilding stage with especially all the injuries.

I think a lot of talent left last year in all of College football and that it's weaker overall anyway this year.

I agree with all of that. I think USC fans are going to have to get used to a ball-controlling, time consuming offense. The days of Matt & Reggie scoring in 3-4 plays aren't happening.

I thought Booty did fine tonight. Steve Smith was the obvious star. Sorry to see McFoy get hurt...between the number receivers, defensive backs, and fullbacks lost already, a lot of freshman are going to play. Growing pains are going to happen. Like I said, I have no problem w/ the team....I just think that some people (including the media) are expecting last year's offense. It ain't happening...at least, not this year.

I have to say , and it is not only because I know the Booty family, how impressed I am with that kid. I wish more QB's would follow his example and realize that one can be part of the team and learn instead of demanding they play x amount theior Freshman or Sophmore year or they are hightailing it to another school

Yep, I am real happy for Booty and he has earned/deserves any of his success. It would have been real easy to transfer. His commitment is admirable, especially in this day and age. I just hope USC can keep enough healthy bodies around to support him (lost another receiver tonight).

PS- BTW...you guys have a helluva team there at LSU ...good luck the rest of the year.
