Im glad to see USC fall to another unranked team this season...nothing makes me happier than to see a scowl on carrolls face. too bad tho...would love to see the gators kill em in January................................................... and "donltlikeyou", take a hike...why post if youre going to bitch about its unimportance to you...sometimes the freedom of speech involves the freedom to STFU. try expressing it.

Ahhhhhh! Stop it. I stare at the top of the space needle from a balcony and didn't bet the Huskies--stop it. Stop it. You're messing with my mojo. We gamblers be superstitious fucks. And ignoring the game to dawdle on Newser is not the winning ignoring that I thought it would be. Fuck. And I'm back on that lonely island so I'm really bummed. But, ten dimes lighter.

People who bet on football? And what? Still a Division 1 Conference? Do you guys only care about politics? Please, college football and a good bookie are to autumn what a yellow leaf is to a tree. I never learned probability and quadratic equations as well in college until I started figuring out the over and under. Personally, we'd be a tad better off teaching algebra like that. And, I ended last season with a push. Only me and my guys know that one.
