When the Trojans don’t show up, it’s bound to sting a bit in the morning
As passionate USC fans, JP and Lunchbox try to wade through the mess of a Thursday night upset.
How in God’s name did USC lose to Oregon State?

The perks of being a big time blogger
1. Is the Mountain West better than the Pac-10?
The fact that we can even discuss this question should say it all. Oregon is one injury away from holding a hippy-filled open tryout for a new quarterback or commissioning Phil Knight to construct a cyborg QB and they’re still […]
