well, ogged's tivo will win no matter what. i don't think a college football team has put up 1,000 yards in recent memory. so, combined yards v. ogged's tivo?
Other than Armsmasher, does anyone really have strong feelings about this game? Both schools seem irritating to me (or rather, USC is irritating and the state of Texas is irritating).
It is an insult to his pseudonymous pseuperpowers to think that he would be incapable of smashing more than one arm. Shattered ulnas litter the battlefield like discarded popcorn in a movie theater. Beware, for his vengeance is swift and terrible.
The last good bet of this type that I had was whether the Knicks would score more in the third quarter (of a game they had been playing quite well so far, if memory serves) then the Bills would in an entire game. So what other games will be on simultaneous with this one?
i could care less about either of these teams, but i remember a few saturdays this fall turning on the tv after the internets told me usc was losing at halftime.
Not Bush's best game, but it seemed like every Texas player was determined to stop him, and let anyone else beat them. He did edge out their QB for the Heisman, after all.
Formula for liking college football: keep track of score, watch last three minutes of game. Otherwise, wind up screaming that you don't pass on third and five from the nine.
Oh holy fuck. My TV's gone to local news, and there was just a graphic read "Baby Death," with the letter's formed to look like children's toy blocks. How cute!
What channel is it on? That could affect the over/under for how many actors from the network's other shows are shown in the stands.

How about USC first downs in the first half vs. Ogged's total count on first resetting the tivo?

This is why I generally don't watch college sports: dumb dumb dumb. A lateral?! (Not to mention the Texas late hit earlier.)
Posted by ogged | Link to this comment | 01- 4-06 7:13 PM
Those are the kind of plays that make me wonder about academic eligibility.
(In fairness, I've seen more than one NFL quarterback spike the ball to stop the clock on 4th down.)
Posted by eb | Link to this comment | 01- 4-06 7:15 PM
Yeah - fuck. I'm waiting to get up two touchdowns to start razzing 'Smasher.
Posted by SomeCallMeTim | Link to this comment | 01- 4-06 7:15 PM
That lateral was one of the silliest decisions I have ever seen a Heisman Trophy winner make.
Aside from OJ cutting off his wife's head, obviously.
Posted by apostropher | Link to this comment | 01- 4-06 7:17 PM
Also, the announcers suck. It's a real tribute that Texas fumble so often that it's good at recovering the ball? WTF?

Sloppiness aside, USC looks a lot better than Texas. We should be working on art-related putdowns for 'Smasher. So far: "Guernica come to life."
Posted by SomeCallMeTim | Link to this comment | 01- 4-06 7:34 PM
There's not one particular arm he smashes.
Posted by ben wolfson | Link to this comment | 01- 4-06 7:35 PM
USC looks better, but if they keep turning it over every time they get close to scoring, it will all be for naught.
Posted by apostropher | Link to this comment | 01- 4-06 7:38 PM
Sloppiness is important; I'd actually be surprised to see USC win.
Posted by eb | Link to this comment | 01- 4-06 7:46 PM
I'd say neither qb is going to win this game throwing the ball deep.
Posted by tweedledopey | Link to this comment | 01- 4-06 7:50 PM
Oh, and the TE from Texas will end the game with 10+ catches.

You think Pete Carroll is familiar with the defensive concept of the quarterback "spy"?

But the first tackler never brings him down.

SC still does have a sliver of a chance.
Posted by ogged | Link to this comment | 01- 4-06 10:22 PM
I'm just saying it might have been something to try. Although running past him on the cornerback blitz everytime was working great too.

Also, is Reggie Bush a big Rey Mysterio fan?
Posted by baa | Link to this comment | 01- 4-06 10:26 PM
Not Bush's best game, but it seemed like every Texas player was determined to stop him, and let anyone else beat them. He did edge out their QB for the Heisman, after all.
