College Football Should Be Played On Mondays
Why, you ask? Keep reading. 
Wow. All I can say is, my boys need help at the QB position, and I guess I can mention the horrendous turnovers, but I’ll stick with saying that losing to a lackluster Huskies team this year is more than just the major upset that it was made out to be.
Listening to the announcers, you’d think the Huskies will be ranked next week. They won’t. As a matter of fact, if the Trojans have to stand on Corp’s back, we may not even be ranked next week… well maybe somewhere in the top 25. The Huskies didn’t play all that well, we just blew it, BIG TIME!
How many trips to the red-zone with nothing to show for it? A few of them we actually did have something to show for it and it was a tick in the turnover column. Okay, more than a few. WTF happened? Who showed up to play? Credit again to the defense though. The fact that we were still in the game was a testament to play calling, hard hitting, and just plain old… hell you get the picture.
I’ll just end by saying, with the lackluster performance of the offense over the last few weeks, I’m a bit scared of what the rest of the season will bring. I’ll still be there though, wearing Cardinal and Gold, flying the flag, talking shit, and hoping this will be yet another one loss season, and yet another Pac-10 Championship. If we are going to lose just one game this season, at least it’s to a team that really doesn’t stand a chance of taking the Pac-10. Bwaahahahah.
Anyway… time to drown my sorrows in a few pints of Alaskan Amber. Time to drink away that game, and gargle with Drano to get the taste of that game out of my mouth.
I’m really starting to think that college football should happen on Monday. It’d be something to look forward to on an otherwise crappy day, wouldn’t ruin Saturday nights if you lose, and well… Mondays typically suck anyway.
Let’s do better next game… er… much better!
USC TROJANS! Fight On!
PS. I feel like I need a pic of a Jolly Roger to add to this post, but I’ll refrain. Speaking of Jolly Rogers, with the way today went, maybe the Raiders will have a stellar day this week.

We Embarrass Ourselves
The political landscape of our country has allowed us to continually embarrass ourselves both internally and to the rest of the world. Instead of having consummate professionals serving as our political leaders, it is becoming more and more apparent that our leaders are starting to mimic Hollywood and are not looking out for the best interests of those they represent. Worse than that, they are not even representing themselves well.
We have a whole party, one of our two major and electable parties in shambles, and consistently dropping further into the void. The Republican party, which I am a registered member of, nomiating Sarah Palin as the Vice Presidency??? Ok, I do not personally know the woman, nor do I assume that her presentation to the world is a good representation of who she is, but based on her presentation, she does not come across as charismatic, intelligent, or well versed on any issues with the exception of “conservative family values.” Is the media the cause of this?
