USC Wuz Robbed!

Heh, I'm in the same boat as you, Kotz. I need Central Florida and Miami.

I was watching the Texas/Baylor game for whatever reason, and I dunno how good Baylor is supposed to be, but I was somewhat impressed with Texas's defense and their receivers and running backs. They might give USC a battle.

Not that it really matters, but their camera work was a bit disorienting, at least when compared to WWE.

Yeah Samoa Joe was easily one of the best guys in that match.

Plus TO is like 32. No one will give up a 26 year old WR for him, especially not an elite receiver like Chad Johnson or Javon Walker.

Louisville is like the 2nd most overrated team in NCAA now. Every year someone says they will make noise, then they go and lose to South Florida. No matter how you want to spin it, they LOST to USF, bottom line. That's not a mark of a team that would hang with USC.

No, he's silly to assume Louisville would beat USC.

Now you're being silly.

Nah I have faith in SD. If they do as well as they did vs Eli, they'll be fine, especially now that Peyton dumbed down the offense a little.

the NWA World title is the same title Ric Flair carried around in the 1980s. It certainly was not "made" for Jeff Jarrett.

New Jake, are you aware of something people use called "sarcasm"? edit: Oh and I'm on Austin's side on this matter as well. He shouldn't even be wrestling prior to the Hogan match.

No way. I see San Diego beating Indy more than Jacksonville or Pittsburgh. Though I don't think Indy will win any of the 3 games.

Well tonight's show felt polished and smooth in a way, which was a nice surprise. However I was a bit disappointed in the contents of the show. By the end of the show I was basically switching back and forth between TNA and something else. I guess it's just that I don't take Jeff Jarrett as seriously as some people do. My other problem is that the X-division matchups looked too choreographed, like they were going through a string of stuff to impress the fans, which I suppose they were trying to do to get them to go "Hey this stuff looks good and fun!" I dunno, it just felt a little too fake for me. I'd probably not come back for the midnight Impacts, but if they get a permanent primetime slot, then I'd choose TNA over WWE definitely. My rating for the show: 7.5 out of 10.

Yeah I didn't realize the randomness of the Nielsen thing. I have the luxury of owning one, so I figured everyone else had a chance to.

Yeah being a Nielsen family is fun. Sadly I account for 1 fucking household out of the millions so I don't really influence the ratings as much as I hoped.

Unfortunately the worst episode of Simpsons still trumps the worst episode of Raw. Though I get your point.

As a final point, I'd like to add this: You guys talk about venting about Raw. That's fine. I won't bother raining on that anymore. I notice people here compare watching and complaining about Raw to watching a TV show or whatever and then venting about it. Well, here's a point: Say you're a Simpsons fan, and the Simpsons had a long string of really really HORRIBLE episodes, would you guys continue to watch Simpsons, in hopes of it getting better? If the answer is yes, then I won't ever bother you guys about this again. If the answer is no, then why not apply that logic to Raw and WWE as well?

I did that myself and it actually did work. I missed both Katie Vick and the Al Wilson angle. But it didn't really help in the long run. Things went back to being shitty in record time. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Stick to the hiatus longer. I've not watched since June and my health is a lot better for it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'll probably have to soon. I haven't watched SmackDown! regularly since around the time JBL won the belt. Not watching Raw is harder, though. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah the first month or so is hard. But it gets easier once you find other stuff on Mondays that makes you eventually forget about Raw.

However, you know what? You guys can sit with your thumbs up your asses for all you want. I know I'm a lot happier for not watching the current product and sticking with the wrestling that does rock.

I'm not talking about Raw. I'm talking about the stupidness of you guys that just sit around and cry about how WWE has declined in quality, then go eat their shit. It's very fucking counterproductive. Show me where I said anything about what's going on with the product? I haven't.

Yes I'm the idiot for whining about the quality of wrestling THEN just tuning in to Raw every Monday at 9 pm.... oh wait... no that's you.

I did that myself and it actually did work. I missed both Katie Vick and the Al Wilson angle. But it didn't really help in the long run. Things went back to being shitty in record time. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Stick to the hiatus longer. I've not watched since June and my health is a lot better for it.

I don't have a Neilson box.... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Get one. The message sent by not watching is a lot stronger than the message sent by watching and then going on the forums and complaining about it.

Yes it's logical to depend on other people. Here's a novel concept: Stop watching, but stay in touch with the product. When you hear it's getting a lot better, THEN YOU CAN WATCH AGAIN! Shocking I know!

And I laugh at the people who watch just to wait for the product to get good. It is not going to happen if you keep watching because Vince will look at the ratings and whatnot, and go "Well we didn't lose viewers this week. Guess we can continue with this approach." Now if people started to stop watching WWE, then that would force Vince to go "Oh wait. Maybe we shouldn't do this..." How this logic is lost on a lot of people, I don't know. But hey, if acting like a jilted wife suits you...
