Bring on the Trojans!

As the sun begins to set on an extremely exciting college football season, some random thoughts:

It took us a quarter to get going today, but our first TD drive got us in to cruise control…I think that’s as close as I’ve come with a pregame score prediction…First time we’ve not started the first quarter on offense. Strange…It’s funny. I know in my head I should be rooting for Southern Cal, but I keep find myself rooting for Cal. Some habits die hard…I’d still like to watch the Air Force game….Troy Smith beat Michigan; Brady Quinn did not. Heisman, Smith…Nice show from the band today. I don’t think we ever danced like that…Has anyone been able to find the North Carolina halftime show on nbcsports.com? Please help me if you have…Rutgers laid a bigtime egg at Cincinnati…Did I mention I’m going to the game next Saturday?...I’m sure the Bookstore is rejoicing—Green Jersey merchandise just in time for XMAS! Know what’s sad? I’ll buy the green Samardzija jersey…USC is uncharacteristically sloppy on offense. Multiple false starts and the like. And Booty is not Leinart or Palmer. Not close…Ohio State is not a “team for the ages”, but they do everything solidly well…USC is starting to pull away from Cal. I hope they vault over Michigan. Florida won’t and we won’t…Our strength of scheduled wasn’t helped by our previous opponents today. 5-4, not including UCLA, who’s up by 5 in the 3d quarter…If we don’t make it to the championship game, I’m rooting for OSU-Arkansas. And then I’ll root for Arkansas to win.

I’ve been waiting a long time to say this: GO IRISH!!! BEAT TROJANS!!!
