TWO EASY WINS BECOMES A NIGHTMARE WEEKEND FOR LOS ANGELES

The Bruins, desperately in need of a non-conference win (remember the shellacking we got against Utah?), looked forward to dominating the hapless (5 losses in a row) and offenseless (dead last in rushing yardage in all of the Division I schools) team from the Notre Dame boys school. However, the injury to their starting QB Cowan, stupic penalties taken, and some truly inept play calls (passing with a 4th and 1 from midfield?) insured that the Bruins, which fell from the Top Twenty ranked schools before their demise in Utah, will never be seen again. I can only hope that even with another win against USC this year, our head coach, and anyone calling offensive plays this year, will be sent packing. And this is not easy to say, as our Coach is actually a neighbor of mine (well at least a couple of miles away). Sorry coach...see you at Starbucks. I do appreciate the tackling technique shown in the picture above, and to be fair, the defense is much improved this year...when they aren't incurring penalties.

It had to happen sometime...but to the 41 point underdog Stanford Cardinals? Game replay tapes have shown the USC Trojans were largely defeated due to the Stanford teams repeated eye gouging of our beloved Trojans in the eyes with their slide rules.
