So, USC lost. To Washington. Again. At home this time. #PANIC! I was at a wedding & so didn’t see the game. But it’s like I’ve been saying since Hawaii game, and throughout the opening 4-0 run vs. terrible opponents: this is just not a very good football team. Will be lucky not to exceed last year’s total of 4 losses. … But hey, Notre Dame won!
It was a great game to watch. Back and forth, lead changes. Great offensive plays. It was the first win for the Huskies in the Colliseum since 1996 and our first road win since 2007.
Also, Bow Down and Fire Kiffin 🙂
What USC needs to do is find a kicker…..
At this point I’d say fire Monte not Lane. I can only recall two real defensive stops the entire night…and one of those was thanks to about 3 dropped passes. The only other time Washington didn’t score was when Locker fumbled the ball at the end zone after a 50 yard run.
The good news is that USC is no longer the worst undefeated team in the country. 🙂
I think LSU gets that ‘honor’ now.
Yeah, I’d agree about LSU, given that Florida also went down. LSU may be the only 5-0 team in history where the majority of the fans hate the head coach and starting QB.
@Kenneth. Two things, first the Fire Lane Kiffin thing has to do with hating him, not the details of the game. Second Locker didn’t fumble the ball, it was punched out.
David…um isn’t knocking (or punching) a ball out of a runner’s hands a classic definition of a fumble… 🙂
It was a fumble, but Locker didn’t fumble it.
David, how can one fumble without fumbling? Is that a Zen thing?
If a fumble is fumbled without anyone fumbling, is it still a fumble?
I always thought that such plays were called “forced fumbles”. But then again, I am not the fumble master. That title is reserved for Jake Locker 🙂
Yeah its a forced fumble as opposed to Locker dropping the ball through his own efforts.
It was Pres. Bush’s fault he fumbled….
Or Reggie Bush . . .
Hey look, its gahrie, not being funny again.
Hey look..it’s David making an off topic personal attack again….
Hey look…it’s gahrie deliberately baiting David with a political comment on a UW-related sports comment thread, and David taking the bait, followed by a stupid pissing contest about who is being inappropriate. Yay!
Yeah..because Brendan has never made a “it’s Bush’s fault” comment on a non-political thread……….
Should people really diminish the notion that the man who was president for 8 years and left the country in shambles may have some responsibility for the results of his decisions?
Of course I have, gahrie. I make silly comments about blaming Bush, Obama, Canada, Mike Brey, etc., all the time. But don’t be obtuse. Your comment was clearly designed specifically to annoy David. You and he have just recently had a stupid, breath-wasting, pixel-destroying argument about this very issue… and now here he was, defending Jake Locker, and so you come in and say sarcastically that it’s not Locker’s fault, but Bush’s fault. That’s fine, I have no objection to that sort of silliness in principle, but don’t pretend you weren’t trying to get David’s goat. You KNEW it would piss him off if you said that, and that’s why you said it here, and not in some other blog context where it would have been equally nonsensical (say, blaming Bush for USC’s loss to Washington, or Rod Blagojevich’s low approval ratings, or the fact that Genghis Khan wouldn’t go .500 in the SEC).
I actually think Genghis Khan would do quite well in the SEC. Like Florida he had no problem with bringing in criminals.
Tell you what. You convince David to stop making ad hominen and personal attacks, and I’ll stop making comments that anyone else can make but are apparently forbidden to me.
Wait, I thought it was Democrats who always played the victim card, who let gahrie use it??
And how is saying you aren’t being funny an ad hominem?
And how is saying you aren’t being funny an ad hominem?
It’s not, and it’s a strawman at best to say I did. I said ad hominen and personal attacks,
If you can’t take being called unfunny thats your problem not mine. Heck if you are that sensitive I’d recommend not commenting on the internet ever.
comments that anyone else can make but are apparently forbidden to me
1) I must have missed the part where someone “forbade” you from making the comments in question.
2) Do you deny that you posted this comment, on this thread, in this context, specifically to piss off David K.? Yes or no.
P.S. By the way, at the risk of pissing off David myself, I actually did laugh a little bit when I read your comment. Maybe not LOL, but at least an audible chuckle, because it was so immediately obvious that you were trying to get David’s goat, and it was actually a fairly annoyingly clever reference to the previous stupid argument that you’d had with him, carefully calibrated to produce the desired response. So I’m not some sort of humorless oaf who thinks your comment was a scourge on humanity, still less am I trying to “forbid” you from doing anything (as David said, way to play the victim). I just want you to be honest with yourself and with us, and admit that — in contrast to other “blame Bush” or “blame Obama” or “blame Canada” type comments, which are often free-form silliness — you were quite clearly aiming to piss David off.
Honestly?
No. I really didn’t. If I had I would have made a Palin comment. I really was
A) riffing on your prior use
and
B) trolling for comment #12 in this thread
