[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I wonder what THE BLOGGERS will have to say about Jarrett. [/ QUOTE ] I dunno but the Patriots obv. dissmissed Carrol too early [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] Is that wishful thinking on your part hoping that Belichek went to Buffalo instead and Carrol still in NE? [/ QUOTE ] That would've been nice, but it's more me making fun of Mussberger.

srjunkacct, I think the edge would be existent in only <10 plays a game where you'd have any sort of advantage. You'd get crushed in the other 90+ plays though. [/ QUOTE ] Actually, I think that the 90+ plays is where a good game-theorist would have a big advantage. I think if a team had DS or any half-decent poker player or economist calling runs vs. passes and let the coordinators pick the specific plays, that team would improve significantly.

i missed the 2nd half of the game, what exactly did jarrett do? [/ QUOTE ] Taunting on two plays. A classy coach would have benched Jarrett for the game after the first taunting play. Absolutely disgusting, but it is what we've all come to expect from USC. I was at this game decked out in UCLA gear. It was amazing how many jerk SC fans gave me the opportunity to remind them "13-9". What I also found amazing - I went to the game with a confused Ohio State fan. At the game he found another older fan decked out in OSU gear. He asked him, "so... who are we supposed to cheer for?" "Oh, I hope that Michigan absolutely crushes SC." For a UCLA fan, that question is easily answered by SC fans. In fact, my father (UCLA grad) went to a USC Rose Bowl game about 10-15 years ago intending to root for his brother's SC trojans, but left the game whole-heartedly cheering for the Big Ten team because SC fans were just too obnoxious and rude to support. Classless fans, players, and coaches. My best counter-heckle came while they were scrolling the two schools' game logs on the scoreboard: "Why are you wearing that jersey? Check the scoreboard, UCLA's not playing." "I AM looking at the scoreboard, IT SAYS THIRTEEN TO NINE!!!!" I think about 3 times during the game the SC heckles came raining down on me and my brother. We got many opportunites to remind them: 1) 13-9 2) The National championship is in Glendale. 3) #8 4) #1 in basketball 5) 13-9 One confused SC fan said, designed for my ears, "I'm glad UCLA beat us so I could watch them play here at such a high level!!!" ZING!!!

Re: **Rose Bowl USC v Michigan thread**

LOL at calling USC classless when you purposefully wear UCLA gear to their game just to be able to taunt them. [/ QUOTE ] I understand this perspective. My sports perspective is that you wear the colors/jerseys of the teams you support. I'm not going to go to the game sporting Michigan gear, but wish those fans to know why I am cheering for their team. A big part of Fan-dom is finding community. Several other Bruin fans stopped so that we could shake hands, give high fives, etc. The ticket-taker at the gate said, "that's the best jersey I've seen all day!" A random program vendor said about the same. I'm not wearing UCLA gear to taunt SC fans, I'm wearing UCLA gear because I'm a UCLA fan. You may say that I should "turn the other cheek," and not respond to heckles, but that's not how fan-dom works. You respond with "my team is better than your team." Now, some heckles can be delivered in a classy, friendly way like the SC fan who answered his son's question, "would we have beaten Florida State?" "oh we would have destroyed them. UCLA had no business being in a bowl." Some can be delivered in a classless way, like the SC fan who slapped my friend on the back after a SC touchdown and said, "Did you like that play?" I'll gladly engage in counter-heckling, and would invite friendly fans of opposing teams to do the same. However, as fans there are rules. After the 13-9 win, some UCLA fans went over the line in taunting SC fans. Obv, immediately taunting after the big game is classless. I saw a good deal of mean-spirited taunting today, some of it directed at me, and some of it directed at Michigan fans. And my hatred for USC grows.
