USC’s turnover margin this year is crazy. They are plus 23. Next best is Duke +14. Need to somehow make them negative in this game. They’ve only lost one fumble and had three passes picked. It would help if the crowd was Utah majority and similar to a road game as USC only won at Arizona by 8 and at OSU by 3. They avoided Washington and…[Read more]

Let’s talk schedules. If you consider there to be big 4 teams the records in head to head are:
USC 1-1 (road loss/win at UCLA)
UCLA 1-2 (one road loss;no road wins;home loss to USC)
UTAH 1-2 (two road losses;no road wins)
Oregon 2-0 (no road games)

Oregon had a cushier schedule compared to the others. USC got to avoid Oregon since Cal/Stanford…[Read more]

2. Eff the traitors.

Stanford loses players to the portal more then they gain. Don’t think his seat is white hot since they beat Notre Dame this year but it’s getting a little warmer every year. With all of the changes going on in football now such as the LA schools leaving the PAC and the pending tv contract/expansion it might be best to punt a change in coaching…[Read more]

They’re so annoying-good riddance.

I was out in my yard about six years on a Saturday morning around 7 years ago and I was wondering why I could hear a band playing. As I drove by the local high school soon after I saw that the USC band was practicing. I live about 3/4
Of a mile uphill from the school so the noise carries up a lot of the t…[Read more]

I was thinking a bit last week about this. I didn’t feel like they were a playoff team. Since they went to the Rose Bowl last year I got that off my bucket list. I got to see my son play in the band at the game and march in the parade. I am coming to the game this week so I was hoping they would win and have college gameday here but it’s not…[Read more]

Donated. Thanks for running this site.

If the football world becomes more of an oligarchy due to these conferences I still won’t be rooting for them. I may even start watching lesser conferences more. Georgia’s practically a pro team right now but their games are going to be boring blowouts until they face Alabama or are in the playoff. I’d rather watch a competitive game between…[Read more]

Positive for my wife and I a couple of days ago. So far mostly just a bad cold for me. Probably picked up at one of those la restaurants where we ate inside.

This is just so faulty. I’d much rather take my chances in an outdoor or large indoor setting than in an small indoor setting. I went to Metallica twice last weekend in San Francisco and didn’t catch covid. My brother caught it from hanging out with a friend of his in his garage. And of the multiple people with cases
I know of this week non…[Read more]

I just think it depends how much of the parade you want to see and where you are in the parade route. The parade is supposed to start at 8 and goes for around two hours but some areas on the route won’t see end of the parade until 11 or 12. We have tickets on S Orange Grove Blvd which is about 1.5 mile walk from the Rose Bowl. I don’t think…[Read more]

U Alumni & Utah Athletics pep rally

U Alumni and Utah Athletics will host a pep rally on Friday, Dec. 31, at the team hotel. More information to come!

Note: I believe the JW Marriott Live in LA is the team hotel.

You totally nailed it. Cal fan since birth. Utah fan since sending my son to college there and we go to a couple of games a year to see him in the band. One side of my grandparents graduated from Utah in the 1930s. It’s nice to be able to attend one of the last ones that matter. With a 12 or 16 game playoff there likely won’t be a pac 12 vs…[Read more]

I’ve found this thread from Wisconsin fans on the Rose Bowl to be helpful for the parade and other things. We’ve bought tickets to see the parade and we plan on parking at the stadium early and walking to the parade. If our son wasn’t in the Utah band I would probably skip the parade because it does make for such a long…[Read more]

When Cal had Aaron Rodgers and Marshawn Lynch they were in position to go to the Rose Bowl until Mack Brown whined and got some voters to change their ballots the final week and Texas moved ahead. The Cal team was extremely disappointed and the performance in the Holiday Bowl where they got beat handily showed it. The only loss Cal had that year…[Read more]

I rewatched the first half of the game two weeks ago. I went through Oregon’s roster and looked at the injury list. I also looked at the box score from the game two years ago which doesn’t look as bad after seeing the missed fourth down conversions and the Blackmon injury.

I will say that the 38-7 score is a little misleading. That was a…[Read more]

2019 Oregon had Penei Sewell and Herbert. Sewell was just an overwhelming talent. They also had two other guys on the Phil Steele all PAC 12 offensive line that year including Jake Hanson who missed the second half of the ASU game that year. They do have some good talent on the offensive line this year but no Sewell there. Also I remember at…[Read more]

Here’s an article I found from five days ago re Oregon injuries.

I just watched Arizona last week. They are horrible. The only thing worse than them is Cal with half of its offense missing.
