Oh the humanity!

... Gary sips on his coffee from the patio table which is piled high with the Sunday paper and his laptop. Columbian Supremo today, he turns to the Sports Section of the Times ... yesterday was tough on me. USC lost to ASU. With seven second to play, a 50 yard Hail Mary on the last play of the game. Oh the horror of it all.

But it was a great game, the lead changing many many times throughout the game. There is so much circus (in a good way) at a Trojan game. A spectacular show of spirit and enthusiasm all shoehorned into this crazy Busby Berkeley extravaganza. Pure entertainment ... but last night Mighty Casey struck out. *sigh*

OMG, Gary...it was a BAD day in most ways for Pac-12 teams...the SEC love-fest dominated the news on Saturday...my Ducks lost in horrible fashion on Thursday night...by Saturday at 11:00 PM Stanford had lost, USC lost in that horrible,horrible way, allowing three TDs to be scored in the last few minutes, Oregon State beat Colorado 36-31, Utah played TOUGH and lead UCLA almost the entire night, save for a couple minutes at the end before they passed UCLA again and won at the end; all in all for the first time EVER, five of the top eight teams in the AP poll lost in the same week.

I've spent much of today watching replays of games on ESPN's site...Baylor at Texas...ughhh...snooze-fest. poor texas, they suck on offense...58 minutes without a single point scored. This week was "separation Saturday". Eleven of the top 25 teams lost. Massive re-shuffling.

Derrel, you missed a high point about Saturday, though. 'Bama lost!

Yes, yes and yes. Ultimately, these are only games, entertainment ... the real losers are in Las Vegas. At the SC game, everybody in the Coliseum were stunned ... most just stood around completely speechless ... looking left and right and not willing to grasp what they just saw. This went on for minutes not just a few seconds. It was one of the most exciting games I've ever attended ... I've been to a zillion games.

You can never trust those Arizona teams to play per the oddsmakers. lol

It was a highly disappointing football weekend for me as well, Derrel, except, as limr pointed out, any time Bama loses, it's a bright spot. Unfortunately, it was Ole Miss who beat them, and TN gets one (hopefully) easy homecoming weekend against Chattanooga before we have to go play AT Ole Miss, and then come home and play a probably still p*ssed off Alabama.
That means we'll likely have to somehow get 3 wins out of the last 4 games to be bowl eligible. It could happen, but NOT if we play like we did Saturday. Heck, Kentucky beat South Carolina, so even THEY aren't a "gimme" this season. Actually, Kentucky is playing better than a host of SEC East teams. I have a BAD feeling we're gonna see another 5-7 year, and even though we are headed in the right direction with this coach, we're all so sick and tired of being bad that we really, really wanted at least an even W-L record this year.

Probably on the interwebs; I don't think they are TPF-tested, TPF-approved graphics.
