I'll take USC at home.

[Thunder Dan]

yeah I've never been to LA before- I'm staying in Vegas from Monday-Friday morning, and staying downtown Friday and Saturday. I heard the area around USC is alright for gamedays but other than that it isn't the greatest.

yeah, gamedays are calmer, but still not so nice.


they need to get rid of those fried chicken places in front of of the Coliseum, that's what makes it look even worse.

and down town LA is pretty bad too. stay away from skid row.

[Billy Cobham]

USC will destroy tOSU.

I can't say anything wrong with the SEC until we beat them. I forgot SC just plugs in QB's and kicks butt.

You guys realize that Sanchez will play, don't you? He'll probably be ready for their opener against Virginia in fact.

yep, and McKnight will fine as well. only reason i say the luckeyes are catching my boys at the right time is b/c the offense will need some games to find their way...but its in the Coliseum and our defense is nasty. SC wins...

judging by my post count, no.

dio and his ridiculous CFB takes finally emerge. how many times has SC been routed in the Coliseum since PC became coach? how many times has SC been routed total, since PC became coach?

...i'll save you the trouble. zero.

[johngateswhiteley]

judging by my post count, no.

i would say KewlKat and myself are the biggest SC fans on this board...though, she hasn't been around much lately. i am a little too occupied with the olympics and tri nations to really get into CFB right now. plus, when those competitions are over CFB will just be starting...perfect.

[Thunder Dan]

You guys realize that Sanchez will play, don't you? He'll probably be ready for their opener against Virginia in fact.

oh no! Mark Sanchez!

By the way, the Coliseum will be about 35% Buckeye fans

how did A&M get mixed up in this thread?

Ohio St has talent for sure, but they run this archaic offense from 1943 that gets exposed when they play teams of equal talent. I see USC winning by at least a touchdown.

They are running a hurry up w/ 2 Qb's this year, and also running a Pistol- Pryor with Wells behind him and Brandon Saine as an H-back--- have fun stopping that.

What I mean by hurry up, they will call 3 plays Boeckman will run 2, then instead of running up to the line, he will run off the field and Pryor will run on. Denfenses have trouble enough adjusting to the hurry up, let alone one where you have a pocket passer and a fast runner switching on and off.

Ohio State has always had practices open to the media and local High School coaches- this year every practice has been closed, with the exception of the 2 events at the Stadium. Expect a new offense.


http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/ab/Pistol_green.PNG

So instead of a TE, they will run a H-Back (Saine who runs his 40 under 4.3 seconds) and play 2 WR's on the line. By spreading the defense out, they will have to choose to either stop Wells, options, quick screens, normal passes or anything else. Have fun.

I was exagerrating a bit. Regardless of some of the changes theyve made in their offense, it's still line up and smash the RB through.

Good luck trying to get a good passing rhythm running 2 QBs in and out.

[cecil collins]

Can't we just agree that both teams are the equally dominant in college football. How impressive it is to have this level of success in evading sanctions by the NCAA despite numerous, obvious recruiting, and booster infractions. I would give the nod to USC for also getting away with some good stuff in mens basketball. http://http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/columns/story?columnist=forde_pat&id=3390757

no, SC's run is better. good pick though.

[redraiderinfiji]

Jane had to like SC bc the aggies where getting ass raped by red raiders the last 10 of 13 years!

let the ass raping of the aggies continue.....

but I see the trojans going down due to their quarterback, still unproven! Ohio State has a proven one!

OSU 34
USC 21

THE GAME IS WON BECAUSE OF INTERCEPTIONS - MARK SANCHEZ.....I THINK MUSTAIN WILL SEE PLAYING TIME SOMETIME DURING THE SEASON!

Harrell & Crabtree baby!

[redraiderinfiji]

still love ya john, but you are a bandwagon!

[redraiderinfiji]

One more thing......Jane......I remember when you were an insane Houston Oilers fan and hated the Cowboys. But when the Oilers left, you claimed the cowboys as your team and proclaimed them to always have been "YOUR TEAM". Oilers fans hated Cowboys fans in Texas!

BANDWAGON!

[samikeyp]

17-14 Trojans

[bostonguy]

I wish both teams could lose. OSU is in a shitty conference which resulted in 2 straight national championship asskickings and USC has been nothing but overrated preseason hype since their lone 2005 National title.

i actually wouldn't be shocked to see sanchez throw an interception or two. he has to figure out how to make the big plays without risking interceptions. but as of right now, aaron corp holds a slight advantage over mustain. but carroll said the competition will continue on a weekly basis.

Right. In 2006 they beat the #2 Michigan team, and the defending National Champs (Texas) in Austin. They deserved to be there in 2006 and took Florida lightly which explains why they were out partying all week leading up to that game.

Last year was a combination of the Big Ten sucking and other teams losing

1) 6 BCS appearances (5-1)
2) 6 straight 11 win seasons (NCAA record)
3) 2 national titles
4) ownage of the SEC, Big 10, ACC & Big 12 ...and some crappy little program named notre dame

...if not for some stupid losses you might be able to throw another national title in there or two...but thats speculating.

1 national title in 05 vs OU. LSU won that won in 2004 so that one doesnt count despite the lovefest from the media etc. You shouldnt have lost to Cal if you wanted 2004 to count.

Boston College hasn't done shit since beating Miami in '84

And USC has achieved as much as BC has in 06/07/08 as well. Neither won the National Championship!:toast

blah, blah, blah...i'm sorry you're a michigan fan. the only team that can beat SC is themselves. thats evident the past 5 or so years.

any fan would love for their team to be as successful as SC's the past 5/6 years...don't hate.

17-14 Trojans

I may have to revise that score. I know OSU will be better with Wells but with Wells not at 100% and SC having a week off to prepare?

I would agree with that, although I do think Texas beat them fair and square. As far as SC's success, I would trade for that in a heartbeat.

Last year, you were convinced USC was the best team in the country. They lost twice and got beat by Stanford. That left that contention unchanged, unwavering. It's ridiculous. USC's success the last few years has been great and the overwhelming majority of college programs would love to have that same success. That doesn't mean USC was the best last year. They weren't. And, you cannot admit it.

I know my Michigan program has been shitty the last few years, especially by their standards. And, I know they're in transition and will probably be extremely mediocre if not pretty bad this season. I can leave my bias aside.

You can't. USC wasn't the best team in the country last year. Shit, they weren't even the best team in their conference last year. Oregon was.

I'm not hating. But, you're self-fellating.

[johngateswhiteley]

I would agree with that, although I do think Texas beat them fair and square. As far as SC's success, I would trade for that in a heartbeat.

at least you are honest. any fan would trade for it...

as for the prediction...you should change yours to 37-14.

[samikeyp]

i don't know why you only picked SC by 3 in the first place...who gives a shit if wells is in or out, he wont be the difference. and SC has had a bye for quite some time...you just noticed?

Because both teams have good defenses and OSU has more experience on offense. But, much like preseason rankings...that meant nothing! :lol

SC was the best team in the nation last year...i think they were better than LSU and Georgia...shit LSU had 2 losses as well, so what. you can't always win the title...the best team doesn't always get a chance. the loss to oregon was on the road with our backup quarterback...and we had the lead in the 3rd quarter with a chance to win it at the end. that doesn't mean oregon was the best team in the conference.

however, they would have played for the national championship had Dixon not gotten hurt...a shame really.

and it isn't just the last few years...and ANY team would trade for their run. period.

[bostonguy]

lol, you can be as ridiculous as you want...but it doesn't change anything. i'll side with the NCAA on this one, they might know a thing or 2 about records.

LSU won the title in 2004. USC wasnt in that game. Split titles dont mean shit. You only win the championship if you are actually playing in the championship game. :lmao:lmao You are biased towards your 2 ncaa teams so you defending it isnt exactly shocking.

IF USC was the best, they wouldn't have lost to Standford at home. If they were the best the year before, they wouldnt have lost to UCLA late in the year. If they were the best the year before, they wouldnt have watch Vince Young dethrone their asses in heartbreaking fashion.

its not worth arguing with you (there's nothing to argue), and we don't yet know if Leinart will be something or not...

and if our split title is worth nothing...then so is lsu's.

LSU won the title in 2004. USC wasnt in that game. Split titles dont mean shit. You only win the championship if you are actually playing in the championship game. :lmao:lmao You are biased towards your 2 ncaa teams so you defending it isnt exactly shocking. You also thought Lienart would be something in the NFL.



Dude, you're trying to prove a point to BrokeBackGates.
That IDIOT has no common sense. :lol

She is constantly made to look like an IDIOT on this board & then she runs & hides til she grows a pair again. Trust me, I know from experience because I've embarassed her so many times.

[Mr Dio]

2 days away!!:downspin: Thunder, tell me how you like the experience of South Central LA

IM, dude, any chance I can get you to swing by King Taco & Next Day ship me about 12 Puro Carne Asadas con guacamole/cilantro/cebolla?

[IronMexican]

King Taco is like east los.

[Mr Dio]

King Taco is like east los.


Yessir.
The one on 3rd in East Los & the one on Rosemead in Pico Rivera take me for for like a C note everytime I'm in LA because I go every single day. Damn good stuff.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

If I was forced to put $$ on this game, then I'd take OSU in a heartbeat. Any line that moves that much in a short period of time makes me bet with the house.

This was a 3 point line a few weeks ago and now it's between 11 and 13. Too many people think it's free money.

[IronMexican]

Gametime!!!!!

[IronMexican]

Sloppy start

[IronMexican]

we're looking ugly.

[IronMexican]

We need to get the stable in the game. that's what sets up Mark.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

OSU getting the game they want so far.

TOP

OSU 11 minutes

USC 55 seconds

[IronMexican]

The stable!:downspin:

[IronMexican]

Td!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[IronMexican]

And yes ladies and gents, he's a fullback.

[IronMexican]

I wonder if SC could give the Raiders a ride for their money.

[IceColdBrewski]

Put 50 on USC and gave the 12-1/2 just to make the game more intersting to watch. Damn Trojans need to step it up.

[IronMexican]

This is what I was expecting. Kinda like the Oklahoma game, they strike first, but we will dominate the rest.

[BRHornet45]

sons I guarantee you that the most overrated college football program of ALL TIME Ohio State will lose this game by at least 21 points. ANYTIME that Ohio State has to play a half ass decent team they get stomped into the ground, then ESPN makes excuses for them. Ohio State = 0-9 vs SEC teams and now USC is about to hand them a good beat down. what a joke that program is.

[IronMexican]

Stuffed!

[IronMexican]

weak tackling

[IronMexican]

Sons, SC has this. Let's hope the Raiders, and Dodgers make my weekend. specifically the Raiders, cause if we don't win tomorrow, it could take a while.

[BRHornet45]

son it must be nice to pull for a team in the NL West. All you have to do is finish a few games under .500 to win the division! lol lol lol

[IronMexican]

damn, Boeckman is getting torn up.

[IronMexican]

jesus, we're beasts!

[BRHornet45]

absolutely no competition as expected. why do so many people continue to buy into the media hype behind Ohio State? the ESPN head quarters are currently in a frenzy trying to come up with excuses for this beat down.

[tlongII]

It's getting ugly...

[Biggems]

Its official....Beanie Wells is the entire tOSU offense........without him they absolutely suck.

[Biggems]

LSU, Oklahoma, and Alabama are the only 3 teams who I think can hang with USC. PSU has a small chance.

[IronMexican]

I am beginning to feel bad for Boeckman. He is getting killed back there. reminding me of Brennan vs UGA.

[IronMexican]

Thunder! we're waiting for you.:toast

[Holmes_Fans]

I saw USC play but I swear OSU wasn't.

hey im not saying he is all that...i am saying he is their entire offense and without him, they are a big pile of donkey doo

[IronMexican]

USC could have easily won 50-3.

[Biggems]

I saw USC play but I swear OSU wasn't.

hey there Brut......did you finish thanking Ike for sparing your Hogs momentarily from a butt whoopin......just messin with ya....HEHEHEHE

BTW, the weather in Austin was great, they shouldn't have cancelled the game.....but I understand why they did. besides, I am sure the momentum from Ike carried bad weather into Arkansas......better to keep the students safe on campus.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

B10+1... overrated yet again.

[TheMACHINE]

just got back from the game. This week was a blast.

USC blow out!
UCLA got blown out!
and my ANGELS clinched #1!

carry on

[JamStone]

Chris Wells = product of ESPN hype machine

That happens a lot with any "best" player on a winning team. Look at Tyler Hansbrough. That's what ESPN does. It is a hype machine.

Heck, they did it for Matt Leinart too. And, right now, Matt Winer might be a better QB than Matt Leinart.

[tlongII]

I'm willing to bet that USC won't have it so easy in their next game...

[bostonguy]

:lmao:lmao Ohio State=overrated. I agreed with those chants by the USC fans tonight.

[Lakers_55]

I just found this thread. I can't play the "I told you so" game here, but what I have been saying for years is finally getting the deserved attention it merits, the announcers last night even mentioned it.

Fact is, the Big 10 is extremely overated. It has been for over 30 years. They used to be the best conference in the nation, but they still recruit locally heavily. Best football prep talent in the country comes from California, Texas, and Florida. I don't know what order. The rest of the south is gaining ground as their populations grow. The reason why the SEC is the best conference is they fill their teams with the homegrown talent. Now, I am not saying the Big 10 doesn't get some of these players, but it isn't enough to compensate for their lack of local prep quality in quantity.

I got in a big argument with my niece's husband (who is from Ohio) last month about this and he was totally oblivious to the facts I point out above. I thnk he realizes now, all those returning starters means nothing if they aren't as good as the opposition.

Pressure is on USC to win out, they seem to find ways not to win the easy ones. OSU could win out as well with their soft schedule. If no other undefeated team exists come fnal BCS poll, I hope they get a clue and don't put OSU in for another embarrasment.

Hey, I am not saying the Big 10 will never produce a national champion again but clearly the nation is becoming aware they ain't what they are are made out to be. People get old, people resettle other turf. Good football talent left the Big 10 ages ago and now plays in the Sunshine.

I don't have anything against the Big 10. I am not a hater, I am a realist.

I agree on all counts. This years OSU reminds me of last years Michigan team. You hear the number of returning seniors and think they are good, but no. They didn't deserve to be in the top 15 to begin with.

[JamStone]

Big Ten is definitely overrated, especially in recent years. Saying it's been "30 years" that they've been overrated is a bit much.

And, yes, USC is a dominant college football program. Great history, great coach, and Los Angeles recruits well. And, it never hurts to be a little pocket friendly (of course they're not the only ones), but who wouldn't want to go to the University of Sweet Cash?

[JamStone]

Michigan beat Florida.

[IronMexican]

Michigan beat Florida.

Let me rephrase. I meant to say a title contender.

[JamStone]

Well, based on the previous year, they did belong in the "top 15" last year. Michigan's offense last year was great but suffered several injuries to key players throughout the season, Hart and Henne particularly. Didn't expect such a drop off on defense, in which they got shredded week after week by mobile QBs. But, based on the players they did have coming back, yeah, they deserved to be a top 15 school to begin with last season. Last year looked bad for one reason, and one reason only, the Appalachian State debacle. Besides that, Oregon was a great team last year, and Michigan's other two losses were against Wisconsin without Hart and Henne and Ohio State with an injured Hart and Henne. USC knows what can happen when one of their key guys go down as they saw against Stanford. Now take both the starting QB and starting RB out, who both ended up being career leaders in school history at rushing and passing, and a team is going to struggle. Michigan might not have been a title contender last year, especially with that defense, but to say they didn't belong in the top 15 to begin with is ridiculous.

[samikeyp]

I think SC just scored again. :)

Damn that was impressive. I thought the Buckeyes D would put up a better fight but speed indeed kills.

I would agree with that. As an outsider now living in Big 10 country I have noticed a few things...

A. You people can't count...there are 11 teams in your conference. :lol
B. Many people here still hold on to the pre-BCS Big 10 mindset....Its all about the Rose Bowl. They don't care about anything else.."we've got to get back to Pasadena" "We haven't been to the Rose Bowl since (insert year here) "we are going to win and get back to the Rose Bowl."

That thinking combined with better TV exposure and weather in other conferences....the talent in Big 10 country is going elsewhere. Case in point Ronald Johnson from Michigan, kid was one of the highest ranked WR's in the nation last year. MSU and U-M made dozens of trips to see him....Pete Carroll makes one trip, the kid is now at SC. There is still tons of talent in the midwest, too bad its not staying there.



sorry, can't show the rest of the pics here, she gets quite naked..

Big Ten is definitely overrated, especially in recent years. Saying it's been "30 years" that they've been overrated is a bit much.

Well, it's my opinion. Look at the early pairings and results in the Rose Bowl when the Big 10 was the best. In the 70's it turned heavily in favor of the Pac 10. I remember two consecutive years a superhyped Big 10 team got clobbered in the Rose Bowl.
1976: UCLA over Ohio State. OSU was number 1, a huge favorite, had repeat Heisman Trophy winner Archie Griffin playing as a senior, and UCLA was not all that good, or were they? Well, the Bruins took them down.
1977: USC over Michigan. Michigan was a huge favorite, coming off an 18-0 thrashing over OSU in Columbus. I think they were number 1. USC was pretty pathetic that year but beat them 14-6. I was at that game. I seem to remember it could have been more, but the Trojans had a lousy field goal kicker.

This is also the time of my early adulthood, when I used to gamble on sports. It was during this era I learned of the "East Coast press bias" and how it favored the Big 10. It still exists today. It won't forever though. If you gamble, you can use bias in your favor, especially when you bet against local teams. Example: in the 1980 SuperBowl the Rams were 13.5 point underdogs against the Steelers if you bet in Pittsburgh, and 9.5 down if you bet in LA. Final score was 31-19. Where you lived and how you bet made the difference. Also, it depended on how reliable your bookie was.

[Mr Dio]

Congrats on the big win True SC fans! :toast
Wish it would've been healthy team on healthy team & no controversy whatsoever but that was a HUGE win.

This is going to be a really interesting yr.





BTW, this congrats is meant for TRUE SC fans only.
Morons who jump on bandwagons & claim SC & any other team need not answer. Unless you're admitting to being a cheerleader & not a TRUE SC fan.

[tlongII]

SC will have their hands full a week from Thursday. They will be walking into a snake pit.

[mytespurs]

Who are they playing? USC looks like the #1 team in the country; I'd find it difficult not to believe they can possibly go undefeated and play for the national championship.

But USC has a tendency to stumble against lesser Pac-10 opponents...remember the Stanford loss last year??? :hat

[samikeyp]

check your PM, you dirty old man, lol

I knew I liked you for a reason! :tu

I read an article this weekend on SI or E$PN (can't remember) that said 75% of the voters in the AP poll were in B10 and BEast states.

Oh it's true. It's damn true.

thanks for posting that. when those guys die off they should be replaced with writers from the south and the west, which is indicative of where the population and the talent lives.

[JamStone]

I read somewhere that 97.5% of college football analysts had USC beating Stanford last year.

Stop crying about the fucking rankings. If USC had beaten Stanford last year, they would have played for the NT.

[johngateswhiteley]

Oh it's true. It's damn true.

if SC wants to drop 70 on osu, they will...and there isn't a damn thing the beavers can do about it.

[Thunder Dan]

We got our asses kicked- our O-Line sucks ass. It's not Boeckman or whoever, it's our line, and has been the last 3 big games we were in. I had a goodtime though, and I won $500 in Vegas so I guess the whole trip turned out alright. I will say that the drive from Vegas to LA sucks ass and get boring after about 3 minutes. Also, LA is a nice place, but the smog driving into it was pretty nasty. I saw a Bugatti too, and Greg Oden. I also saw AC Slater at the Palms Sunday- which who I am taller than, so I got that going for me.
