Good Day All
Sorry for my absence last week, attributable to many things. I tried writing a rosy pre-game prediction, but I just had a bad feeling about the game and didn't want to predict a loss. Too bad I was right.
Another reason is that I wasn't able to watch the game live. We had a HS event Saturday evening, so I had to DVR the game. Listened to some on the radio, followed the rest on espn.com. I haven't watched the game yet.
Any truth to the talk out here in LA that we quit at the end? Multiple SC players quoted as being surprised we gave up, didn't use timeouts, etc?
Anyway, on to today's game. Trying to get excited, but the 3 losses already are preventing that, for the most part. My 8-4 prediction is on thin ice, which is really depressing. And if SC lays an egg against Stanford tonight, that will hurt more. That will make three teams we lost to who aren't what I would call excellent.
Speaking of laying an egg, Wisconsin has to be kicking itself--MSU looks TERRIBLE against Nebraska today.
So yes, we should beat Navy today, although I'll be surprised if we cover the 20 point spread. It will be interesting to see what the crowd mood is today.
By the way, the rock music during last week's game really sounded bush league on the radio. Hope that was a one time occurrence. Put it in storage with the green jerseys.
If the defense stays in their lanes, it will be difficult for Navy to score, so I'll say Irish 27, Navy 10.
GO IRISH!!! BEAT MIDDIES!!!

I think the quitting stuff was just usual USC bs. The game situation was such that using the time outs was not a big deal. Just would have prolonged the agony as the Trojans were winning the line of scrimmage all night.
