There are some reports suggesting that authorities may have just scratched the surface of the alleged Denver-based NYC terrorism plot: ABC News reported Sunday that federal investigators are looking at the possibility eight more people may be involved in the ongoing terror investigation centering on Aurora and New York City. Four may have ties to Colorado, the other four to… Read more »
When unranked Washington stunned #3 USC on Saturday, it may have seemed like a bolt out of the blue (to everyone except Stewart Mandel, at least), but it’s actually the continuation of a longstanding — and, for Trojan fans, all-too-familiar — pattern. Even though USC regularly plays in tough, heavily hyped intersectional games, BCS bowls, etc., the Trojans simply do… Read more »
Oregon State. UCLA. Stanford. Oregon. Oregon State. Washington. The Pac-10: it’s a war. UW 16, USC 13, final. Congrats, David K. & Huskies.

And if anybody happens to stop by and feels like chatting, you can do so here, or after the jump. (You may… Read more »
Last week, immediately after USC wrapped up its epic victory over Ohio State, our resident “Trojan Husky,” David K., responded to my obligatory “Beat the Huskies!” tweet by commenting: “BOW DOWN!

Saturday evening, my college alma mater held up very well on… Read more »

One of the things that’s really frustrating about this particular college football season is that #1-ranked Florida — which, as a defending national champion with most of its key players returning, would be an overwhelming favorite under any circumstances — has such a ridiculously easy schedule that it’s actually quite difficult to envision them losing, never mind losing twice, as… Read more »
It’s a Monday Night party! Loyette’s ready: I made that video a couple of weeks ago, in anticipation of the start of football season, after discovering some months earlier that Loyette could “sing along” with the Monday Night Football theme song (or at least mimic Becky’s and my singing of it). Naturally, because this was super cute, we practiced it… Read more »
