Pac 12

Related to Fili Moala, I presume? If so, yeah, it really sucks to see him get away.

Anyway, my god, what are they putting in these Samoans' water? They're all built like fuggen cave trolls!

I'm still pissed that Vontaze Burfict bailed on USC. That one hurt. So did losing Mante Te'o to ND and Alshon Jeffery to South Carolina.

[M2]

Moala is like another Mesean, tailored to play for USC, direct ties to the school only to turn his back on Troy at the last minute to go to Kal and then never beating the Trojans

Jesus, you're delusional.

He was a Cal silent for 2 years... just like Shaq Thompson.

Are you going to say that 'Shaq' really wants to go to SUC and won't end up at Cal ?

[M2]

I would be surprised if Bama wasn't after the kid, m2.

By the way, here's a little about Trent Richardson, Bama's starting RB:

Standing at only 220 pounds, Richardson bench presses 475 pounds, squats 600 pounds and power cleans over 365 pounds, in addition to a 4.4 second 40 yard dash. Richardson is so strong that his strength and conditioning coach will not let him go heavier than that for fear of injury, saying "The last thing I need to do is mess this kid up", indicating that we'll never know his true one rep max.

I'm a huge Trent guy. I liked him more than Ingram when he was a freshman. The guy is scary.

He was a Cal silent

You should follow his example.

Whitey, to answer your question -- while much less discussed than thursday nighters, friday nighters are about the same dealio... when there's an OOC matchup up on weeknight, the home team covers pretty close to 100% of the time (I forget the exact number, but I believe it's well into the 90%+ range over the last decade), and wins outright almost as often, even if there's a percieved mismatch between the teams.

Just the way CFB works, I guess.

ASU does return quite a few guys on offense, I believe. And have a couple of gamers on D.

Maybe I need to give Bud Light another try, 'cuz I sure can't see this game the way Wags does. I've hated this match-up from the first time I saw it on the schedule.

Bad things happen to the Tigers at night in the desert.



Bad things, man.

i hated it from the moment i watched franklin have a terrible time trying to pass and run the ball.

This.

Make or break. The Lee's Summit kid couldn't do any worse. All Berkstresser did last fall was chuck for 3,300 yards and 36 touchdowns, and rush for another 700 and 12 scores. Franklin's "intangibles" don't mean dick if you can't move the team...

This game starts at 9:30 CST?

Are you fucking kidding me?

What, are we Fresno State or Hawaii or some shit like that?

I hope Dins enjoys the game.

[Bizzarofelice]

I'm going out briefly to go watch the game with friends.

All of us get to work early so I doubt the end of the game will be loud and obnoxious.

Eight... and Cal rotates about 20 all game long.


Oh yeah, and 'Tiny' should be seeing a lot of playing time this year.

360 lbs. 6 foot 2 and bench presses... 500 lbs. a new school record and a true freshman.

And...runs the 40 in...err...sorry he can't run the 40.

[Mikey]

They'd be embarrassing even if I wasn't a Pac {insert number here} fan.

[War Wagon]

No matter the final score, Mizzou is the bigger, better team and I kinda' like James Franklin right about now.

In Pinkel we trust.
