...washington/alabama..

Watching now. Normally I would never root for the Dawgs but in this case I will.

Pac 12 football is awesome. Hopefully our new coach will get things going in the right direction quickly, however, I feel next season will be "rebuilding" so no high hopes just yet. We will know more at the spring game.

Michigan has had some tough losses this year!

I like the huskies as a pac-12 fan, but I think usc is the only team that could beat 'bama right now.

They are going to ROLL in the rose bowl...

It's lucky for the crimson tide that sc didn't figure out their quarterback situation sooner

 

[turk]

...yeah my youngest has a horse...lol...not me though...yeah grokit, my youngest is sc man...

 

[grokit]

Me neither, mora and the bruins need to re-group that's my team.
But yeah hated so cal is right up there with 'bama now imo.

 

[t-dub]

Oooohhhh man . . . intercepted . . .

 

[turk]

....well this one may be over...lol

 

[t-dub]

Definitely game over for the Huskies. On to the next semi final, Ohio State vs Clemson in the Fiesta Bowl.

 

[grokit]

Penn's better than I thought, both defenses suck, the rose bowl today set the record for most points back in the third quarter, and now it's tied at 49-49 with one minute to go. Usc just intercepted with :27 left

edit: What a game, sc by a field goal in regulation

 

[turk]

....my youngest is ecstatic !

 

[lwien]

Anyone else catch the Rose Bowl. One of the best games I've seen all year. Game won in the last few seconds, or........game lost in the last few seconds. Either way, it was real nail-biter.

 

[turk]

...yep I have a USC grad son...he was there..

 

[lwien]

Bet he lost his voice by the end of the game, eh?

 

[turk]

...he's rabid...this is the first time they've won anything since he's been there...he grad. last year...in my youth they had ...Marcus, Charles white...Anthony Davis...Ricky bell..the murderer...and for him...mark Sanchez...love to tease him..

 

[lwien]

Marcus, Charles white...Anthony Davis...Ricky bell..the murderer.

 

[turk]

...just saying.

 

[TNT_error]

FIGHT ON!!!!✌


I hope these 2 teams play each other again next year, and hopefully in the playoffs. The committee got it wrong. Penn st. is better than Ohio st., and usc is better than Washington. What a game!

 

[turk]

...urban meyer...shut out...vegas must have went crazy.

 

[lwien]

I can't believe that SC's QB is a freshman. The poise and accuracy that this kid showed in his first Rose Bowl appearance was unbelievable.

...the beauty of the bowl games...sometimes you witness outstanding performances...but...it's just sports.

Naw. See, for me, seeing or hearing an outstanding performance by anyone doing ANYTHING is something that I really enjoy seeing or hearing. Talent, in most all of it's forms, is really something to behold.
