USC, three games in...

Post by Van »

...is still not much of an offensive powerhouse.

-M.A.

Now we get to wonder about the injury status of our one truly explosive offensive player, All American WR Dwayne Jarrett, after he left the game early in the 3rd quarter (never to return) with a shoulder injury. This, on top of seeing our third string FB go down, again, early in the 3rd quarter. Yep, USC is now working on their 4th string FB.

Any of you fuckers have any college eligibility left?? If so, you might wanna hoof it down to South Central and see if maybe you can't gravy train yourself a BCS game appearance.

Apparently playing FB for USC this season is akin to being Spinal Tap's drummer. All we need is some spontaneous combustion there in the huddle and it'll be a wrap.

Emmanuel Moody might be the guy to at least lock up the tailback position. I hate the idea of a true freshman taking over that spot. That's going to bite us in the ass somewhere. I wish Chauncey Washington could've grabbed it and made it his. Nope. Dude's just a plowhorse, a serviceable short yardage back, and little else.

Moody's the break away threat we sorely need.

Guess we're just going to have to count on some SEC style play (let the speedy and maniacal defense dominate and hope the offense makes just enough big plays before self imploding) to carry us until the offense finally begins to gel.

Pretty fugly 17 point road win. The offense is being ultra conservative so far. Very few deep balls (nice grab there, Jackson... :meds:), lots of ultra safe swing passes and high percentage short timing routes for eight yards. This offense isn't going to scare anybody just yet. 'Bout the best it can say for itself is at least it's not going out of its way to beat itself. As with all recent vintage USC teams they really take care of the ball and they nearly always win the T.O. battle.

Also, I can't decide whether I'm enjoying it or getting a bit tired of it, this notion that every road game we play anymore becomes the home team's Super Bowl.

"Fourth largest attendance EVER..."

"Most highly anticipated regular season game in twenty years!"

Jesus fuck. This is a big game? Again? Really?

Whatever. Gotta take this one though and move on.

Talent and potential alone do not yet make USC deserve a #2 or #3 ranking. USC would not score enough to keep pace with OSU, definitely, and probably not Auburn either, not yet.

Then again, looking around the current watered down college football landscape, maybe they do deserve a #3 ranking. Maybe that's just about exactly where they are right now: probably couldn't beat OSU or Auburn right now on a neutral field, but there's nobody else out there who's any better than them.

Florida? W. Virginia?

This is not just a down year in the Big 12. It's a down year in the ACC, Big 10 and Pac 10. Really, even the SEC hasn't looked that great either. Basically, this is just a down year for college football, period.

One other aside...

Michigan State's Liberian RB looks like the Kelley Green reincarnation of Robert Newhouse. Man, that guy's thighs and gibundous ass are just ridiculous. Even Serena Williams was overheard saying she thinks that dude's lower body looks a little too ghetto.

OSU just needs to get through Iowa and Michigan and that's all that's standing now between an OSU-Auburn BCS title game. Nobody in the SEC looks able to take down Auburn, once they escaped with their win over LSU...

Lastly...

USC's Song Girls. Somehow they seem to be getting even hotter as the season progresses. Either the camera men are focusing now only on the truly painfully hot ones or somehow USC managed to swap out some of the B+ hotties I saw in the preseason calender. It seems that it's now pretty much nothing but Vegas showgirls, Hawaiian Tropics bikini models and soap opera ingenues. Perfect golden glowing attention whores, all up and down the line up. Yow.

Van, I enjoy your support of the program but be ready because disappointment was a few plays away from us tonight. To summarize:

- We have no fullback for the rest of the season
- Jarrett played like an absolute vagina tonight. Pushed out of his routes, dropped balls. Weak. Naturally, the one play where he decides to get nasty he pushes off a DB and scores a touchdown. and seperates his shoulder
- Lake Kiffin's playcalling couldn't suck bigger, harrier balls. Halfback toss on the first possession of the game? :meds:
- Lake Kiffin2...call a reverse on the same drive? :meds:
- Lane Kiffin3...put down the xBox remote and learn playcalling.
- Linebackers looked great. Rey rey had a huge night and Cushing did well once he calmed down. Rivers is finally living up the hype...love that kid.
- Moody is going to become a great back but makes me nervous when he gets in traffic.
- Carry Harris is a great kid who tries hard...but he's out of position a lot...and tries to be physical with guys that have 50 on him...doink
- Fred Davis is an incredible player and we need to use him...I think Booty overthrew him on that play, even though Fouts said he should have caught it.
- Happy for Chauncey, but let's not forget he's no veteran...no more credible than a freshman. Guy hasn't played any ball at SC until now.
- Fuck has Dallas Sartz finally shown up

ps I hate Lane Kiffin

I agree with you Jimmah. The play calling certainly has me scratching my head.
I'm not naive to think that we should be putting up the kind of numbers SC has
in the last few years but still...it felt like Arizona was dominated tonight but damn
if the conservative play-calling held them back a bit. Having said that I still need to
remind myself that this is a very young offensive team and they'll hopefully get
better as the season goes. I really don't want to complain about 17 point victories
either, especially on the road. That's what they were supposed to win by.

I really would like to see the field stretched more than it has been. I think the longest
pass tonight might have been that one to Fred.

Booty needs to work on his touch cuz it sure seems like dude doesn't have any. He should
feel free to put some air under the ball a little more.

Oh and USC's defense is good. Just sayin'.
FIGHT ON!

Jimma...Fred Davis...

Right. Dude shoulda caught that ball. He knew it, big time. He sorta alligator armed it and you could see from his reaction immediately afterwards that he knew he blew it.

As for being ready for disappointment, hey, no need to warn me. It's right there staring at us, big time.

We're living on borrowed time. Borrowed time, as much as the fairly dominant D can provide.

Btw, I think Jarrett actually hurt himself on the play right before his TD catch; the one where he gagged on that perfectly thrown ball at the goal line before landing hard on his left shoulder.

And Steve Smith caught that reviewed ball. The ground can't cause a fumble (Or can it? That used to be the rule but maybe they changed the rule and I missed it...) and he'd controlled the ball first with his two hands and then he cradled it into his midsection before he finally landed on the ball when he hit the ground, at which point the ball squirted out. That was a clean catch. No biggie though, since we went on to score on that drive anyway...

I still see us potentially losing two games this season, plus a possible third in a bowl game. Only thing is, looking at their remaining schedule, I'm not sure who's going to be able to actually do the deed?

ND? I just don't think their D will stop our offense nearly as much as their lack of a running game will allow our D to tee off on their passing game.

Cal? Maybe, were it not for...

Image

Washington? Ty Willingham. Pete Carroll.

UCLA? Okay, maybe we'll get so tired from fucking them that they'll steal our wallet and sneak off once we fall asleep...

Yeah, having m2 playing FB for us scares me. It's down to that. I'll say this: If we had to play last year's schedule with this offense we'd go 9-3, tops.

DJ's shoulder is sprained and not seperated, will be re-evaluated later tonight when they get back to LA.

Im thinking that USC may have to go to an H Back to make up for the losses at Full Back, maybe Anthony McCoy or some other big body back there.
Too bad Jody Adewale can't block well enough to play FB

hey van?
I know that usc beat nebraska, BUT, it was probably due to callahan's desire to just run every down,
today, 56-0 over a team that would beat half the teams in the pac ten, was a STATEMENT.
for instance, troy could beat arizona st. or arizona, I dont see usc beating people 56-0,

tell ya what? there is still a lot of football to be played, I PRAY to god that usc loses a game or two, and that we get a re-match in a bowl,
cause 56-0 is something that usc is incapable of doing to ANYONE, and, considering you play in the pac ten, that says a lot,

Okay, looking over SC's remaining schedule, I think I see at least one game that genuinely scares me...

Next week's game, up in the Palouse. This could be the one where it all comes crashing down. This will be SC's third roadie out of their first four games and WSU (when healthy) is a decent team at home. Combine their rowdy home field advantage with some possible shit weather and their decent ability to score some points and there's a very obvious potential trouble spot.

ND remains a potential headache too, obviously, just because, well, just because Brent Musberger says so?

We just need to direct Weis to the nearest Fatburger or In & Out Burger once the ND plane arrives in L.A. and we'll probably be fine as dude'll likely be in a coma come game day...

Btw, nice of y'all to jump on my "<insert team here>, x amount of games in..." thread idea.

I'm thinking maybe we can start adding some variations on that theme...

"My wife, eleven years in..."

"My girlfriend, eight inches in..."

"My car, 60,000 miles in..."

"My dog, nine shredded sofas in..."

"My BBS posting career, 413,000 posts in..."

Until Booty can connect on a deep pass, defenses are going to stay in tight. Kid has a great arm, but I havent seen the touch on the 30 yard ball that Matt had. Tight spiraled darts don't do you a bit of good if they're hitting the ground

Watching the games yesterday made me pissed all-over-again over our "Chicken Little" act in the coliseum. Our offense definitely works better when we pass a good amount and USC's offense is not the juggernaut we treated them like. I'm not saying we are as good as USC but definitely should be competitive anyway.

Arizona's offense still blows. Tuitama was supposed to be a difference-maker this year but so-far he hasn't been.

I see USC going 11-1 with Oregon, ND, or Cal tripping them up. But if they can keep the rookie Booty out of situations where he has to win the game they have a solid shot at running-the-board and playing-for-it-all.

Van...were you born ignorant, or is it something you worked at?

"Possible shit weather"?


Uhm yeah...Eastern Washington is really noted for "shit weather" in early fall. I'm suprised The Weather Channel isn't ringing your phone off the hook with job offers.


Uhm...it's a fucking desert, Van. About the only chance of "shit weather" is for a couple of months during the arctic winter, and the blast-funace heat during the middle of summer.

Yeah, 75 degrees and sunny is sure "shit weather" for football(The NWS forecast for next saturday).


And I haven't seen an NCAA rulebook in a while, but if it's like the NFL in that regard (which I believe it is), if you go to the ground while catching a ball, and the ball comes out before the play is blown dead, it's an incomplete pass, regardless what you did with it on the way to the groud. Same way it's been for a long time. Not stating this as "fact," but I'm pretty sure that's SOP for football at any level.

If you knew half as much as you think you do...about much of anything...you'd put Mr Wizard to shame.


Damn, at least when I start Dinsdaling all over the place, I generally at least have a slight clue what I'm talking about.


Oh, and your complete failure to acknowledge any concern about playing Oregon is actually quite telling. THAT'S your main hurdle...not WSU, not ND...but we'll visit this topic a little more in a few weeks.

Oh my God that's funnier than...........well saying WSU is a decent team. It's nice that you can make light of the mans physical condition. Maybe we should make fun of Ryan Powdrell's foot and start calling him hoppy, or any of the other injuries $C players have sustained over the last few weeks.
$C's schedule is weak and so is the Crap-10. Next thing you'll tell us Stanford is tough because they have a new stadium or Oregon is tough because they have so many uniform combinations and it was confusing to our players because you saw them on film in their all yellow and now they're playing in their all green. Give it a rest and go back to the dick sucking homers on the wearesc.com board. They're missing you in the circle jerk.

They've barely even attempted any long passes. Booty's best throw all night came on that long-ish pass deep down the middle. Right on target, and Davis flailed on it.

His touch seems fine so far. It's this constricting "West Coast Offense" and the propensity for nothing but safe, short passes that's confounding things...

Gotta start attempting to stretch the field a bit, which will also serve to open things up a bit more for our running game.

Lax, Weis deserves his criticism. He's not injured, like USC's player. Bad comparison. One guy got hurt, in a game. The other is a disgusting fat body, by lifestyle choice.

Great example of self discipline to be setting for your student athletes there, Private Pyle.

Great coach, doubtless (though possibly VERY overrated), but in this day and age he deserves all the criticism he gets for letting himself go like that.

Dins, would it be possible for you to ever simply make a post without resorting to being a useless prick about it? See if just maybe once you could just stick to the subject at hand without Dinsing all over it...

Anyway...

I only mentioned the possibility of shit weather in the Palouse, didn't I?

Yes, I did. See, despite your erstwhile weatherman status it's possible for the weather to suck up there next Saturday. That could mean high winds, Indian Summer heat or even a freak desert deluge.

It's all possible, and if it happened it'd be an additional cause for concern.

As for the rulebook question, the rule used to state that the ground couldn't cause a fumble. So, if you had possession of the ball and then your hitting the ground caused you to lose control of the ball the play would be ruled down at that spot. If it followed a run then it wasn't a fumble. If it was a passing play then it was ruled a completion and the ball was spotted where the receiver made contact with the ground.

Smith clearly controlled the ball first with his hands and then into his body. He got his feet down, in bounds, while having control of the ball. Finally, after he hit the ground out of bounds, he fumbled it.

That's what the tv announcer declared as well. "When they review this thing they'll see that this TD is going to have to stand. There's no conclusive video evidence there to show that he'd bobbled the ball before he hit the ground and he definitely got his foot down inbounds. Losing the ball AFTER he hit the ground doesn't matter."

Then, of course, the replay officials went ahead and fucked up the call anyway.

Now, yeah, like I said, I don't know if the rule was changed and now, yes, the ground can cause a fumble or an incompletion. Maybe that is now the case. Didn't used to be, and the announcer doing the game didn't seem to think it was the case now.

As for Oregon? Like the Cal game, but to a lesser extent, I'd be worried about that game a whole lot more if we weren't getting it at home. By no means is Oregon the perennial road choke that Cal is but still I don't see USC losing in conference at the Coliseum any time soon. USC has more talent than Oregon and they have a couple of regular season winning streaks to protect. Oregon's good but I just don't see them having enough muscle to come into the Coliseum and take down USC...

Pretty sure you don't see 'em doing it either.

I guess you can take solace that both you and the announcer are dumbasses.
The NCAA Rulebook wrote:Loss of ball simultaneous to returning to the ground is not a catch, interception, or recovery.

When in question, the catch, recovery, or interception is not completed.

And no...that's nothing "new." Feel free to wow us some more with your knowledge of CFB rules, though.


And if you had taken the 5 seconds to check out a weather forcast for Pullman(since you're concerned about it), you'd see that no...it's not a possibility, or not one worth worrying about.

Great, Dins. First you admit that you're not sure whether or not the NCAA's rule is the same as the NFL's.

An actual moment of humanity from you, for fuck's sake!

Then, nope, you can't leave well enough alone. Not you. Instead, you go ahead and dig up an actual NCAA rule and you post it and then you try to act like you knew it as fact all along...right after you just admitted that you weren't sure whether the NCAA had adopted the NFL's rule.

Jesus but you've become one tiresome blowhard.

Also, if you'd seen the play in question, which you obviously haven't, there was no "before blowing the play dead" aspect to it so the rule you quoted has nothing to do with the play in question. The receiver touched his foot down in bounds and then he landed on the ground a good three yards out of bounds. When the play was ruled dead was a non issue as it was never ruled dead one way or the other. This wasn't that kind of a play. The only questions on the play had to do with whether or not the receiver got his foot down in bounds (which he did) and then whether he had control of the ball while his foot was still in bounds (which he also did).

The ref didn't rule that he lost possession when he finally landed on the ground well out of bounds. There was no question of when the ref blew the whistle to call the play dead. It was strictly an "inbounds/out of bounds/possession or not?" call and he mistakenly ruled that the receiver juggled the ball...

So, even though you're a self important douche and you're quoting the wrong rule in order to support a non sequitous argument go ahead and fuck off anyway just for Dinsing again.

Throw down as many diversions as you like, but let's look at facts, shall we?

I said I believed the rule stated a set of parameters, which I was quite certain was the carved-in-stone NFL rule, and was fairly confident it was the same as the NCAA rule.

And your blowhard bullshit aside...lo and behold...I was right. About 60 seconds of search confirmed this. See, rather than being an avowed ignorant blowhard, if I'm not certain of something, I attempt to educate myself, provided the subject is something which I have interest in...and CFB definitely fits that criterion.
It was strictly an "inbounds/out of bounds/possession or not?" call and he mistakenly ruled that the receiver juggled the ball...
Are you really this wrapped up in your "internet ego" that you're really going to argue this?

Really?

Take another pill, Van.

Read the verbatim rules I posted...then kick yourself in the fucking ass for being such a raving dumbfuck.

Is there anything in that rule that says anything about "juggling" the ball? Yes or no?


So, even though you're a self important douche and you're quoting the wrong rule
Yeah, that rule about "completions" is certainly the "wrong rule," and thoroughly inappropriate to bring up when discussing...completions.


And "non sequitous?" Well, back at you...your points are truly discomprehensified...since we're making up bullshit words and all.

Dins, we BOTH said we weren't sure about that ground causing the fumble rule. Both of us.

Difference is, you're Dins. So, being Dins, you printed up a rule which supported your "belief" (not "fact", which you'd already admitted) and then you applied it in a situation where it doesn't even apply.

The verbatim rule rou posted mentions nothing about an in bounds/out of bounds possession play, which is what happened with the Smith play. The rule you quoted has to do with possession within the field of play, and calls being blown dead.

Non sequitur.

Now, as to the other, you go ahead and conjugate "non sequitur" into the past tense and see if you come up with anything other than "non sequitous"...

Non sequiturial?

Non sequified?

Non sequitaneous??

The best you could do would be to simply restate it, awkwardly, as in, "That was a non sequitur type statement.", or even, "That was a non sequitur argument."

Dins, sorry, but "non sequitous" is a form of the term that's been adopted into common usage for quite awhile now. Tell me you knew, since, well, you probably invented the term, right? You know, just as you were in the middle of solving that whole cold fusion bitch...

Ah, but see, there's a very clear distiction between the "both of us" -- One of us knows the difference between a "fumble" and an "incomplete pass." I'm not sure how your dumbfuckery has managed to confuse the two, but the two rules are completely different in the standards used to judge each.

In bounds, out of bounds...it doesn't matter, you flaming dork. If the ball comes out when an airborne reciever hits the ground, it's an INCOMPLETE PASS. I'm not sure what part of that you're struggling with...wait, yeah I do...you don't know the difference bewtween a runner carrying the ball, and a reciever catching the ball.


Seriously...shut the fuck up, already. It's now getting to be no longer funny, and just plain sad, dork. The reason I quoted the rules regarding an INCOMPLETE PASS, as opposed to a FUMBLE was...


Jeebus...are you this fucking dense you can't figure that out on your own?

But, go ahead and continue labelling the rule that actually pertains to the play in question as "non sequtous"...no really...it makes you look smart...really.

A little less "internet tough guy" and a little more brains would be a nice change from your present routine. Believe it or not, "because Van said so" isn't a valid response to...well...anything.

A fact that is evident from "it wasn't a fumble."

Here, I'll once again help you out with some football knowledge -- a player actually has to have possession of the ball before he can fumble it...no, really. But go ahead and keep on keepin on with the "well, it wasn't a fumble" thing -- it's pretty fucking funny.

It's becoming abundantly clear why you're adopting the "attack the messenger" mantra, though -- you're so fucking far off on the argument you were trying to make...rather miserably, might I add, that it was your only remaining option...and you failed equally miserably at that, as well.


Starting to understand the "fucking dork" label yet?


Just remember, Van -- Brain, and THEN keyboard...brain, and THEN keyboard. I'm sorry that order-of-operations is eluding you so badly right now.

Oh, and I realize this isn't the forum for this...but please tell me this complete freaking butchery of the English language wasn't intended to be educational?

Please tell me you were trolling?

Please?

I'm thinking maybe we can start adding some variations on that theme...

"My girlfriend, eight inches in..."

"My car, 60,000 miles in..."

"My dog, nine shredded sofas in..."

"My BBS posting career, 413,000 posts in..."
Truth is, I was going to start on a similar post about ND, this being the 1/3 mark of the season. I just thieved your title.

As for the last suggestion, unless your name is mvscal or Dinsdale, you couldn't pull that one off. :wink:

So Cal and Van..obviously neither of you understand how the body works. There are many people out there who have problems that surgery can correct. In CW's case it almost killed him. It's nice to know that you can understand that.....oh fuck it you're too fucking ignorant to understand. May you both rot in hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those problems can also be corrected by having enough fucking will power to not shovel another creamy, sugary, fatty morsel in to your blubbery gullet and actually putting forth a small fraction of the effort to stay in shape that you would demand from your players.
I always wondered how a tub of shit like that can sit there and bitch to his team about conditioning when you know he couldnt do a lap around the track without the use of a golf cart.
This gluttonous tub of shit looked for the easy way out of dealing with his obeseity and nearly died from his laziness, if he wants sympathy for that he can find it between shit and syphilis in any dictionary in the library. Let's just hope they have an elevator cause Cheesesteak Charlie might die trying to get up the stairs... well ok lets hope they dont have an elevator

Lax, all kidding aside, how'd Weis get to such a point in the first place?

Also, I don't really care that he's morbidly obese. I just feel uncomfortable watching him and I actually kinda worry about the guy. From all accounts he's both a great coach and a great guy and I wish him nothing but the best.

Bottom line though, he's got to make better lifestyle choices. He's got to be willing to sacrifice. That one's on him, 100%.

Why do you think I was a wee little bit leery of taking my powder puffs as 3.5 point favorites in the pick 'em?

I seem to recall some sort of oral fluff treatment from you though regarding our annual sig bet. Something about asking me to make sure that USC holds up their end of the bargain 'cause UCLA was going to do their part...

Sadly, both teams again did their usual holding up of the bargain.

Your senility is kicking in, Old Man Van. UCLA may suck out loud but I never made such an offer. But at least you didn't forget your propensity for asking dudes for oral treatment. Dins will be pleased.
