USC V Oregon Prediction And Odds

The Trojans of USC travel to Eugene, OR to decide the Pac-10 championship against, the Ducks of Oregon.  Yes, the team with the worst uniforms in all of sports.  Here is a preview:

Hollywood couldn’t have scripted it better: Halloween night, the din of Autzen Stadium, crisp fall temperatures and No. 10 Oregon versus No. 4 USC in arguably the Pac-10’s biggest game of the season.

“It’s going to be crazy,” Ducks quarterback Jeremiah Masoli said. “It’s going to be one of those Autzen nights times 100.”

Oregon (6-1, 4-0) sits alone atop the conference standings with no league losses, threatening the hold the Trojans (6-1, 3-1) have had on the Pac-10 title for the past seven years.

The Ducks have won six straight games since an embarrassing 19-8 loss at Boise State in the opener, a game that got uglier when running back LeGarrette Blount punched a Broncos defensive end as he was leaving the field.

bodog has the game Oregon +3.

Dreadnaught prediction: USC over Oregon by 21 – 17.

Washington Redskins Ban Signs At Games, Eject And Insult Fans

It goes without saying that the Washington Redskins are a rancid football team.  But now the team, read Daniel Snyder, has reached new lows, aside from losses to Detroit and KC.

Here are some of the highlights of the new lows for the Redskins:

• Two fans wearing “Dumb” and “Dumber” shirts with photos of Snyder and VP Vinny Cerrato claimed security guards made them invert their shirts.
• Fans were prohibited from chanting “We want Gruden.”
• The team has banned media interviews of tailgating fans.
• Fans are prohibited from having signs at the game, even signs supporting our troops in Afghanistan.  Way to go Snyder.  Great to be against the troops.
• Redskin linebacker Robert Henson, berated Redskins fans on his Twitter page.  It Tweet: “All you fake half hearted Skins fan can .. I won’t go there but I dislike you very strongly, don’t come to Fed Ex to boo dim wits!!”
  • “half hearted” Henson, learn to tackle and to properly use phrasal adjectives.  You not good at either.

Notes On Refinancing A Home

Having just completed the paperwork necessary to refinance a home mortgage, it is appropriate to share a few thoughts.

First, there is a reason people hate lawyers, to wit, the preposterous number of signatures required.  For a simple refinance, same residence no second mortgage, it required a total of 32 signatures and 14 initials to consummate all of the necessary documents.

Second, why is it essential to disclose one’s race and ethnicity to borrow money?

Third, it was in sum a positive move.  The refinance resulted in a 5-1 ARM at %4.5.

USC Notre Dame Final Score 2009 Game

The Trojans get another victory over Notre Dame with a final score of  34-27.  The standout player for USC was tight end Anthony McCoy, with 5 receptions for 153 yards.

If you want to know what is wrong with Charlie Weis, one need only to listen to the comments he made coming off the field.

We ran a combination route where Golden got doubled, which we thought he would, over on the right-hand side.  He did, over on the right-hand side.  We were going to to to a high-low or to the left and when Duval came out of the break he slipped coming out of the break. He was open, but he slipped, slipped, slipped coming out of the route.

Translation:

I am a great coach.  I made the correct call.  I had an unbeatable scheme.  It was all Duval Kamara’s fault.

Pathetic.  Be a head coach.  Take responsibility, don’t blame a player.  Notre Dame deserves a better coach than Charlie Weis.

Charlie Weis Claims Moral Victory After Loss To USC

Note Dame coach, Charlie “I Looked at Myself and Saw a Disaster” Weis clamed the 2009 loss to USC was a moral victory.  Irish fans have to understand that Weis can not turn this team around in just five seasons, despite the fact that his team will, in “every game . . . have a decided schematic advantage.”  You must understand, he is suffering from the poor recruiting done by Ty Willingham.

Again, you can not expect Weis to turn the program around in just five seasons.  It has taken a number of head coaches to get their teams to national championships.  Nick Saban did it in his 4th season, Pete Carroll did it in his 3rd season, Bob Stoops did it in his 2nd season, and Urban Meyer did it in his 2nd season.  Well, those are all less than the five seasons Weis has had, but it is different for Weis.  Not sure how it is different, but it is.

It can not be Charlie Weis’s fault, he is just too great of a coach.  Remember Charlie Weis making history last season by losing to Navy for the first time in 44 years.  That was also Willingham’s fault.  Don’t blame Weis.

Charlie Weis Says USC Notre Dame Will Be Big Story

From Yahoo Sports,

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP)—Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis gathered his players after the final practice before the 25th-ranked Fighting Irish face No. 6 USC on Saturday and made a prediction.

“I said, ‘Saturday night, fellas, you’re going to be the lead story in the country one way or another. You’re going to be. So which lead story do you want to be?”’

The storyline he’d probably like to see most is Jimmy Clausen having the game of his life to beat the Trojans, ending a record seven-game losing streak by the Irish to USC to become a leading Heisman Trophy candidate. The one he’d like to see least? Another USC blowout, putting his job in jeopardy.

Dreadnaught prediction: USC by 10.

Recipe For Milk Steak

For a delicious meal of Milk Steak you will need the following ingredients, remember to buy the most succulent  meat and the freshest milk :

1. T-Bone Steak
2. 1 Gallon Boiling Milk

Bring the milk to a rolling boil, then add the steak.  It is best served boiled over hard.  For a side dish you should consider a bowl of jelly beans, raw.

One famous lover of this dish is Charlie Kelly.

USC Notre Dame Quarterback Comparison

It will not be the defense, it will not be the history, it will not be the running game or wether when USC plays Notre Dame.  The only comparison that will matter is the goldenness of the quarterbacks for the teams.  While Jimmy Clausen claims to be the golden boy from SoCal.   the photographs clearly demonstrate that Matt Barkley is much more golden.

No question, USC over Notre Dame.

LSU Florida Tebow Will Play For Gators

The game of this Saturday is LSU v. Florida.  The latest news indicates Tim Tebow will start for the Gators.

If he’s got a 100 percent clean bill of health and the phalanx of involved parties agrees he’s fine (coach Urban Meyer said there were 12 people in the room Monday to discuss Tebow’s concussion recovery), do it. No more interested party than Bob Tebow, Tim’s father, said that if his son were cleared to play — and he stressed Thursday afternoon that the decision has not been made — he would not spend Saturday wincing at Tim’s high-impact playing style.

Dreadnaught prediction: If Tebow plays Florida wins, if Tebow is out LSU gets the win. bodog has LSU by 8 points.

Final Score USC Over Cal

The Trojans played well for all but the first drive for Cal.  The games ends with USC over Cal by 30 – 3.

Best did not look like a Heisman winner tonight.  Both Barkley and McKnight played well.  It was great to see Taylor Mays back on the field, and as always Damian Williams was nails.
