This goes out to the media and all USC Homers who thought they were going to run the table from here on out. Stanford is due credit for playing ball till the final whistle. They didn't come into this game thinking they couldn't win because everyone including the media said they couldn't. This team deserved to win because they played with heart and believed and trusted in a backup QB who ultimatly got the job done. I would be a liar to say that I believed in them but what matters is they believed in themselves in spite of me or the rest of the country's belief. Now all I read everywhere from USC fans is that Booty is garbage. What about him being garbage when things looked so good for the mighty trojans. What a joke some fans can be. Let's face it he's the best QB you have and just didn't get the job done. If Pete Carroll changes QB's and USC goes on to lose two more games those same people who are now saying Booty is no good will be the same ones wondering why he isn't still starting. Talk about some fair weather fans. I have a question now for coach Pete Carroll. Does this make you a normal team now that you lost? Lets face it, you was normal befor the season started and this game just proved it. Saying stupid things like that always come back to bite you in the ####. But do not worry to much Trojans all you have to do is beat Cal. and I'm sure the media will be looking to put you back were you think you belong. Though I doubt very seriously you can beat Cal. or Oregon for that matter. Go ahead and fight on Trojans, from here on out you'll be fighting for your pride. Oh how the mighty have fallen!
On sunday USC was replaced by LSU as the #1 team on the AP poll but does it even matter... not at all. The AP poll isn't even used to determine who plays who for the National Championship game. All it does is provide College football fans with a reason to smack talk. What will matter is, this weekends game between LSU and Florida. If the Gators win how far do they move to get back in the hunt to possibly defend their NC title? If USC struggles this weekend and CAL. destroys it's opponent do they move ahead to the #1 or #2 spot in the polls? Also if all three top teams LSU, USC and CAL are upset where does S. Fla. fit in all this? those are the questions that I am waiting to see answerd and this weekends games couldn't come soon enough. Every year the College football season is more and more exciting. It's great for the game to see teams such as USF come out of nowhere and shock everyone. Kentucky is another team who has come out of nowhere it seems. Usualy only known for it's Basketball program Kentucky is off to a great start and is climbing in the polls and on the hunt for a birth in the SEC title game. They still have some tough games ahead of them with LSU and Fla still yet to play. I will actualy give them the nod against Fla. but think it will be tough for them to beat LSU and it's vaunted Defense. Nevertheless the whole State of Kentucky is behind them and we all know how passionate sports fans they are when it comes to thier Wildcats. Thing is I am assuming alot will and can happen here, we'll just have to wait and see. Everyone has a shot ,even the 1 loss teams. So fans of your favorite team keep rooting for them.It promises to be a wild ride the next couple of weeks as we will see teams seperate themselves from the rest of the pack. Let's forget about strength of schedule, which conference is stonger or any meaningless polls that have thier opinions on things. What matters most is winning. Win and win convincingly, that is the name of the game. For the same reason until your favorite team beats another top 5 team let's stop all the smack talk about who is better. If you just so happen to not have a top 5 team on the rest of your schedule, well then beat who you have and beat them like they stole from you. That doesn't mean running up the score on some sorry #### team. It means to just dominate in all facets of the game. So to fans of those teams that find themselves sniffing at the door of a National Championship game goodluck the rest of the way. Also to those fans that think your out of it with one loss, don't give up. There is still some games to be played that will possibly change the way things seem at this moment. That's the beauty of college football, almost everyone has a chance to be called the best that year.
