After 3 quarters , 869 yards of offense , SC about to punt 4th & 14 from own 18 , trailing 14 points , that will have to be the last USC punt .

The Sugar Bowl has some big boys playing. Some of them are as big as you and me and a third grader. And the turf in the Super Dome looks like Easter grass.

My husband just thought he was going to trick me. His trivia question: Bob Stoops has a brother who coaches in the SEC. What team?

My answer:

I think next touchdown will make it highest scoring Rose Bowl ever . I remember in '68 my Hoosiers lost 14 - 3 to SC and OJ . We played defense .

One blogger on ESPN noted that there were more points scored by both teams in that game than the LA Rams scored in their first entire season after moving back to the West Coast.

Probably more than the Rams score in the first 6 or 7 games next yr too.

Indian Territory 28 , Auburn 13 , 17 minutes to play .

Auburn QB's 7 of 17 for 60 yards , down 35 - 13 with 12 1/2 minutes to play and the ball . I am calling it for Oklahoma .

Golden Gophers have most wins in 13 years . Fire Coach . Minnesota currently ranks last in the Big 10 in recruiting , this will hurt them . Signing day in about a month .

That rose bowl game was awesome! Thought Penn State would get the win but it didn't happen. USC gonna be a force in 2017!

Number 1 Villanova probably gets first loss tonight at hands of Butler .

If USC had not played (and lost to) Alabama in their first game of the season, they would have been Pac12 South Champions and played Washington for the conference title (instead of Colorado) whom they had already beaten 26- 13. They could have been in the playoffs.

I'll agree USC v 'bama was a heck of a start to the season of course -
and Colorado lost their big non-conference match-up to Michigan - so both were a one loss team already by the start of conference play.

But then the Trojans promptly lost to Stanford and Utah in Pac-12 play, but beat the Buffs 21-17 in LA in October.
If Colorado had lost a second conference game (they beat Stanford 10-5 and UCLA 20-10) in a three way tie breaker I think Pac12 South would have gone to Utah (?)

At least now, Colorado can do some serious recruiting in southern California/San Fernando Valley/Orange County with only that one regular season conference loss to USC.

Muh Hoosiers basketball finally showing a little life today , so far . Last I checked , Bama was 6 1/2 point favorites , same game last yr they won by 5 , so I would take the points

Big basketball game today , Purdue & Wisconsin .

Colorado gives coach Mike MacIntyre a contract extension and a raise after their best season in over a decade. Old contract was through 2018 and paid him $2 million a year- one of the lower salaries in the Pac12. New deal is for $3.25 million average a year through 2021 and puts him in the top half of the conference. Colorado had the biggest turnaround from one season to the next in Conference history. http://www.dailycamera.com/sports/ci_30714468/cu-buffs-give-mike-macintyre-extension-raise

CU needs to also hire a new defensive coordinator as theirs left for Oregon.
