Trojans vs. DA BEARS!

Well Trojans, it's crunch time! Time to separate the Men (of Troy) from the Ladies (you tree-hugging communist hippies!). The Bears head down to the Coliseum where the Trojans, pissed about being dropped two places in the BCS after demolishing hapless Washington, seek to gain a measure of respect by crushing #21 California affectionately known by ESPN talking head Reece Davis as the "Fighting Tedfords."

"I think it stinks," Head Coach Pete Carroll said about the BCS.

Statistically, USC is the #1 defense in total yards, scoring defense, passing efficiency and rushing defense. Of course, three of those games (all shutouts) were against teams that are 3-22 on the year (ASU, WSU, UW). Still, the Trojans have only allowed 7 TDs in 8 games, 4 of those were to Oregon State, and two of those "drives" were 5 yards and 15 yards.

Another memorable stat, since arriving at USC, Pete Carroll has never lost a game in November. Ever. (The UCLA loss was in December)

Bob B. mentioned he was going to be at the NEW J.P. Looneys in Oak Ridge if anyone cares to join him, the game is on 8:00 PM.

Fight On and BEAT the Bears!

BEAR-ly Getting Out of the Rain

Hey Trojans, for those of us who missed the Cal game, it was a rain-soaked doozy! Our beloved Trojans eeked out a hard fought victory over the retro-uniformed Kommie Kal Bears 24-17. At 8-2, and number 11 in both polls and the BCS the Trojans are still poised to make a BCS bowl game (Rose, if Oregon goes to the BCS Championship Game) by beating the Arizona State Scumdevils on Thanksgving night, then avenging last season's debacle against the bRUINS of UGLY.

My apologies for being a little behind on the postings, having a 5-month old directs my energies elsewhere most of the time now...I'm sure ya'll understand.

Since the ASU game is on Thanksgiving Day, we'll pass on that as a group, BUT the BIGGIE against UCLA will go on, and I plan on being there with my wife, Sylvia, and my son, Ethan. The game will be seen in Winston-Salem, probably at the Fox and Hound unless Rebecca Shore wants to host it again. Check back here for a definitive answer soon.

Also, since we have a BYE this week in football, is there any interest in getting together to watch the USC/USC basketball game somewhere? It is Saturday, Novemeber 17 from Columbia, SC at 8:00 PM, so email me at GSOTrojan@aol.com if you are interested in watching the game.

Fight On!
