 Now that's a sexy uniform! You guys actually had a decent showing against USC. I hope that they plan on playing Shortell the rest of the year. It's funny that his last name is Shortell. Edit: Thought this was funny as hell.  |

not sure about the Pelican though...
State Flag Exemption, it stays. (I actually think it looks pretty cool anyway.) |

That was a helluva drop for Oregon. I hope they can work their way back up.
As a Big Ten/OSU fan that is off-OSU this season (taking a break from the asshattery), I hope Wisconsin can pull off some magic.

That's actually not a terrible idea.
I officially declared myself not an OSU fan for this year. Some folks won't even talk to me. It's kinda funny, actually. And the FROTH!! Even with all the bullshit, fans here are still going crazy about us being Big Ten champs this year. I'm of the opinion we should take ourselves out of the running of any championships this year and just play our games. w/e.

Should be at that game too. Thank goodness it's a home game. I do NOT go to Tiger Stadium, even during the daytime.

I've been there a few times. But I wore LSU stuff Which is why you are still alive. Actually, I went tailgating in MY student parking lot (that is a story for a different time...) and actually had a really great encounter with Alabama fans who were oddly not tarred and feathered in the parking lot. Good humored joking but none of this "beat the shit outta the opposition." And they had the best BBQ in the lot. BBQ though, not Cajun - Louisiana still has that going for it. |

Have you been before? I have been to a few games because my father-in-law is a grad. It was surprisingly tame. I think you'll be fine, unless you're an obnoxious fan (which I doubt). |

I'm of the opinion that it's impossible to be mean in Pasadena.
Edit: Which isn't relevant because I misread the schedule as Utah @ UCLA, not USC. So, welcome to (relatively near) South Central! You should be fine either way.

I'm obnoxious in my living room when watching games (to my wife's chagrin) but dial it way down when I am out in public. I will be sitting in the USC section so I will be minding my Ps and Qs while still representing. My main concern is getting back to our car after the game.  |

Having been to a number of Cal-USC games there, their fans are dicks but not like, violent dicks. Be sure to enjoy the worst sight lines in the Pac-12 outside of ASU.

Just wear something you can take off, like a hat or jersey. Then you'll be fine. |

Our stud WR is a scratch for the game with an unknown "illness"; the same "illness" that threatened to have him out the entire season. I don't think anyone has a clue what's up. Outside of Blackmon, I don't think there's a better wideout in college football. Guy is a beast. Without him, we won't have the deep threat to keep them honest and open up the stuff underneath and over the middle. Our offense will struggle. Also, due to injuries, our best cover corner is playing safety right now. The guy that was inserted into the lineup had trouble hanging with NAU WRs. It'll probably be brutal, mostly because of the secondary issues and I think we're a bit undersized up front. They'll be able to run all over us and that'll open up the deep stuff to Blackmon. Still going to watch.  |

I don't think OK State will blow them away, but they will win. I think by 10. |

23 points. I was pretty close. Edit: And sorry about being right, Rasix.  I was hoping the Wildcats would pull it out. |

The hilarious part is that Arizona played exactly how I thought they would play, except they spotted OSU 3 early TDs before they figured out WTF was going on.

Graduated the entire offensive line. 3 DLs including our bookend DEs in the NFL now. Top wideout down. Top LB down. RT down. Injuries in the secondary and we're starting two guys that were our biggest liabilities on defense last year. All of this and Foles, despite his gaudy numbers, seems to fall apart in the red zone. Just going to be a trying year and the start of our season is fucking brutal. Sadly this might also be my last season as a season ticket holder for a while. It's just too much of a hassle to go to 6-7 games a year. And realistically I will probably have to move in the next year or two. OHH WELL. Go Diamondbacks. |

I am entertaining the idea of hitting up the PITT/ND game later this year. Working for Pitt gives me a nice ticket discount if I want and watching (hoping) Pitt kills them is almost too good to pass up. |

So I was flipping back and forth to the WVU game before half time and was a might excited to see the score, then the second half happened and I was no longer pleased. Seriously... And way to fuck things up Miss St. |

I'm backing Iowa this season.
Surprised to see Iowa State beat them today. Looks like a small, fast defenses will give the Hawkeyes fits this year. |
