USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2005 You may be right. I thought it went Fiesta, Rose, Sugar, and Orange, rotating that way. I may be wrong. Actually you're right, Rose. Sorry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Art Sandusky 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2005 Man. My friend (who doesn't even like OU much, just thinks Stoops is a good guy) destroyed the remote after it was 14-7 and desperately looked for other things to throw while he spent the rest of the first half putting it back together. I'm leaving my sig for a little while still, because although you USC might have kicked Auburn's ass also, it wouldn't have been the absolute massacre that tonight's game was. I know Tommy Tuberville wanted to say "Are you kidding me?!" when he was asked at halftime if they'd put up a better fight than Oklahoma. They certainly would, but I'd have to pick USC in that fantasy matchup. They'd win by a good margin of 15-20 probably, but at least you'd have a competitive team in there. Jason Campbell wouldn't have made the boneheaded plays that White did tonight. I won't call Auburn co-champs though. USC showed their might tonight. I just wish it had been a different opponent. 'sides, that Tuberville quote is really awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Art Sandusky 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2005 Oh, and this was expected from me probably, but I see Tennessee having a great shot at making a BCS bowl next year. Maybe not as the SEC champs, but as an at-large. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2005 Kotz, I liked the part where after Tuberville was talking about his boys wanting to play, someone I forget who said, "They're probably in the parking lot waiting." That was so funny for some reason. OU could certainly have used Auburn to stop the bleeding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2005 Thing I noticed though, OU and USC has and will always be a constant in the NCAA. They have not fallen out of the top 10 since 2000 (USC since at least 2001). They will meet up again in a bowl... maybe not next year but in a few years.

Hogan Made Wrestling 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2005 USC's running the table again. Hey, it's early but so what. This is the most talented, best coached team in the country. The schedule isn't very difficult either. I know we saw a great Rose Bowl with Texas/Michigan. But, I'd love to see a traditional Big 10/Pac 10 championship game between USC and Michigan. Since the Rose Bowl does host the National Championship next year. As a Michigan fan I'd be down with that. Or can you imagine if Michigan and Texas play in the Rose AGAIN next year, only this time for the National Championship? Two of the all-time great programs who have never met, but then play two years in a row, in the Rose Bowl of all places. Pretty wild. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2005 Well, I did call for Dama's banning after he said he changed the channel with OU down 21-7, and I think we could all use a little vacation from him. Given that he actually asked for the banning, and has been basically annoying the whole forum all year, why don't we let him keep his wish, and let him stay banned for at least a couple weeks. If the Eagles make the NFC Championship, you could bring him back the day before the game or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2005 As far as Dama goes, he made a statement in the original Orange Bowl thread... And to show you how confident I am of this fact if USC wins by more than 17 points I want to be banned from the forum. There you have it folks. If he wants to be unbanned, he can try petitioning Sass, Tom, or one of the other Global Mods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2005 How come no one has mentioned Louisville as a potentially awesome BCS team next year? The transition from LeFors to Brohm will be relatively easy and we're headed to the Big East where the best team is that bunch of Pitt jobbers that Utah maimed. I doubt we'll be nat. title worthy (Big East sucks after all, and we might lose a game or two in a transition year), but if we don't make the BCS there will be some pretty pissed off people here. As far as White goes, yeah I know he was hurt last year but quite honestly I saw no real difference in his performance this year when he WAS healthy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2005 If you want a laugh, go read the original Orange Bowl Thread. Looking at how last night's game turned out, everything in there is gold. Fun fact: Kotz appears to be the only one who called for anything coming close to a blowout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HarleyQuinn 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2005 Can anybody tell me the moves that'll happen next year? I know Boston College is leaving the Big East, are they going to the ACC? Also Louisville is leaving for the Big East but are any other teams moving around beside those 2? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2005 Sure, Cincy is also leaving C-USA for the Big East (which was primarily for basketball but they had to take the football jobbers as well). I believe S. Florida is also joining the Big East so they could have an inroad into Tampa, even though no one down there cares about USF. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted January 5, 2005 Marshall and Central Florida are leaving the MAC. Marshall is headed for C-USA but I'm not sure where UCF is headed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yankovic fan 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2005 I believe S. Florida is also joining the Big East so they could have an inroad into Tampa, even though no one down there cares about USF. Eh, I know it's not a lot of people, but when we played there, USF posted official attendance at around 33,000. And we were a 1-aa program. 30,000 people in Raymond James is no where's near a sell out, but it still was loud as hell. And what's stopping Auburn and USC from playing some sandlot football with each other? They are all over 18 and they do get some time off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2005 2005 Conference Realignments Lots of shifting in the mid-major conferences. C-USA loses Army to the Independents and TCU to the Mountain West, but reloads (sorta) with Marshall and Central Florida from the MAC and four WAC teams, the most notable of which is UTEP. C-USA is also splitting into 2 divisions and setting up a championship game. The WAC then takes a handful of shitty teams from the Sun Belt to replace the shitty teams they lost, and the Sun Belt adds the new D-IA teams, Florida Atlantic and Florida International. Oo, and the ACC championship game starts next year too. I'm tingly already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2005 You may be right. I thought it went Fiesta, Rose, Sugar, and Orange, rotating that way. I may be wrong. Actually you're right, Rose. Sorry. The rotation is Orange, Rose, Feista, Sugar. Side note: I'm very happy I didn't stay home to watch the game like I had originally planned to. When me and a couple of friends came back to my house to chill for a while, I flipped to 7 to see if the game was winding down, or over, and boy was it ever. 0:30 left in the game and I couldn't believe the scoreboard. Oklahoma sure does know how to choke away the big ones, don't they? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2005 How come no one has mentioned Louisville as a potentially awesome BCS team next year? Because the team is pissed at Petrino I think... and probably won't play as hard for him. And what's stopping Auburn and USC from playing some sandlot football with each other? Maybe the fact that USC is located in California and Auburn somewhere in the southeast? Maybe the fact that USC will be a little busy with the celebration ceremonies and the fact they will probably have to fly back home to have their parades or whatever. Tell me how they will meet again in a sandlot? The schools wouldn't want to foot their flight bill just to play sandlot football that accomplishes nothing.
