Steve I'm looking at the big ten's schedule and results this year.  They basically have Ohio state and a bunch of also rans. They are starting to remind me of what you used to call the pac 12 twenty years ago. You may have to start referring to the big 10 now as the PAMWPs

Pac 12 has scheduled the championship game of USC-UW on Friday at the coliseum, since the county of Santa Clara is still on lock down.  Then they have scheduled CU-UO on Saturday also in the coliseum.

Apparently they want every combination present and ready to play in case someone has to drop out at the last minute due to covid.

Congrats to USC for beating arch Rival UCLA in a game that wen to the final second.

USC is 5-0 and there are still many chanting to Fire Helton.    gotta love fans...I guess.

I think the most attractive bowl game coming up is the Fiesta with Indiana and Southern Cal.

I agree that would be a good game from a pre game hype perspective and hopefully  a good match up.

I think the best case scenario for USC this year would be to win out on the Pac 12 championship game and then be at least very competitive against a team like Indiana.    That would set up nicely for a better run next year when we hopefully have more depth and experience on both lines.

Anyone who thinks any conference would not do what the Big However Many just did for the under similar circumstances - put its best and highest committee ranked team in its championship game rather than keep them out for non-competitive reasons beyond their control - is living in a pre-CFP reality.

Actually, I do think that.  In fact I know that there is a conference that would not do that.   But then Larry Scott is a complete idiot...so there's that.

Pac 12 circular firing squad continues to operate at peak efficiency.  Washington goes down to Stanford.   Oregon beat by Cal

Notre Dame played a good game, but I was surprised to see the clock mismanagement from the Clemson coaching staff at the end of regulation. That game should have been over after Clemson went up with 2 minutes left.

Ok.   I guess I figured out my issue.   Hopefully I don't have more problems...

I have been pretty unmotivated when it comes to football and USC in general over the last 8 months or so.   But I have to admit, I am getting a little excited about watching the team again.

First take:  9 am is flipping ridiculous and Larry Scott should absolutely be fired for trying one desperation move after another.   That said, if you are going to do it...this is the year.  Since there are no fans anyway, you are not interfering with tailgates and arrivals etc.

I am actually somewhat looking forward to watching gameday and immediately going to our game.  SO ok...

I have USC 31 ASU 24

Don't know if I would call it a lockdown really. But a lot of businesses are shut down.  Yesterday was the first day the 24 hour numbers did not go up on new cases in the US.  Not a bonafide pattern yet, but still encouraging. I didn't/don't  expect to see the pattern disrupted until end of this coming week.

I will be meeting with Mike Bohn tomorrow.   

I'll ask him his opinion on going independent vs. just firing Larry Scott and hiring someone that knows what they are doing.

I was not impressed with Tucker at CU.  But I have to admit I was not watching it all that closely.  Maybe there were things happening that were not making it to the surface yet.

Two names that have also surfaced are Robert Saleh and Pat Shurmer. Saleh makes no sense for him or us. He's clearly on track for an NFL HC job. Shurmer is an alum, but has been unsuccessful as an NFL HC. Nards is apparently out.

I have someone I can send you.  He has "solid" head coaching experience.  I might even pay for the flight out.

A Golden Era of Spartan Football comes to a close.  He looked like he was getting tired.

Saban looks tired to me also.  I would not be surprised if he retired end of next year if they miss out on the final four again.
