So I am getting ready for this super late USC game, and I just want to recap the weekend's highs and lows.

#25 Ole Miss
#24 UNC
#21 Utah
#18 Clemson
#12 Okalhoma State
#9 Pitt
#7 GT

All lost. At this time


#20 USC

These teams are currently playing or about to start playing.

Should be interesting to see what happens in the rankings tomorrow.


Fight On!

Down.

Down. I feel blue.

I shouldn't let a shitty (sorry dad) season get to me, but I have. Just when I think it can't get any worse, it does. A third loss. To Stanford. WTF.

But, these losses, make you realize that your team isn't always going to be #1. In USC's case the BCS will never let us be #1, but you get where I am going with it. I blogged about expectations at some point last summer, and I think that has helped me process the losses, but it's still frustrating.

Football used to excite me, with every W, I would get excited about the following weeks conquest, but now, I am somber and I just wait it out. It's like the tornado watches when I lived in Atlanta. We would watch- eyes glued to the TV waiting to see if a storm was spotted our way. The anxiety of the unknown.

But what sucks even more is, that my love for college football, has always surpassed that of NFL. There is just this different level of excitement for me..

Anyway, in this "down" time, I have neglected my Cardinals. The Cardinals who won yesterday, making the first Cardinals team since 1975 (I think this is correct) to win 5 consecutive away games. Congrats!!!! I also think it might be the first time in history that this late in the season, the Cardinals have the same record as USC.

Anyway, all this being said, I am going to make a better effort to blog. Win or Lose.

Hope everyone has a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Vent Fest....

Where do I even start? USC playing sub-par football? The refs screwing over many teams? Thank goodness I'm not a coach or I'd get fined for saying that ;)

The list can go on and on, but I will start with this. Sure USC has been playing sub-par football, but how can LSU and I will quote my good ole twitter bud @uscpsycho "LSU is only team in top 15 that hasn't beat a ranked team. Plus they have 2 losses. So why are they #9? Seriously...???"
Granted both teams have 2 losses, but USC has beat THREE ranked teams, lost one game to a team that was unranked and the 2nd loss was to a top ten team....explain that one to me?

I don't even think I can start on the refs. Not just the stupid calls they make against USC, but the calls they don't make when it comes to other teams...like UF. Calls that could have caused outcomes in games...sure the refs get penalized, but does that help Arkansas? Who could have WON that game..

Oh. ASU fans. Learn some respect, and learn to spell. Granted, I am not the biggest fan of Corp (3rd string USC QB) but I am not mean about it. At last nights USC v ASU game (if you want to call it that) some kid has a sign that said:

Anybody
But
Cullivan

Now I don't know if they were trying to be funny and reference Couples Retreat, but still..

Let's move on to my Cardinals. Surprisingly enough, other than Leinart's interception, there's no complaints there... :)

Had to get that off my chest, now I can enter the week with some serenity and a ton of hope.
