2011 BCS National Title Game: Oregon Ducks vs Auburn Tigers Open Thread
Here we are - the last game of the 2010 college football season. Just a couple minutes ago, I started breathing again. About a half hour ago, I thought I'd lost a very large file server at one of my customer sites. "Here it is, the biggest game of the year, and I'm going to be re-installing...
USC News and Notes for 7/28
Lots of stuff out there today so lets get to it... Bill Plaschke thinks Kennedy Pola is worth the trouble . I don't disagree in Plaschke's reasoning on the hire but in making his points he takes a swipe at Pete Carroll and attempts to undermine Lane Kiffin. I really am not interested in living in...
Bill Plaschke Channel's his Inner Bruin
The angle being taken for this weeks game against ucla is a predictable one. While USC has struggled of late, ucla is being seen as "surging". While one has seemingly lost its identity the other looks to be finding theirs. I think there some truth to those lines of thought but I would not bet the...
Bill Plaschke's Hack Superpowers On Display At Rose Bowl Media Day
A couple of years back, Deadspin included the L.A. Times' Bill Plaschke in its series' titled "Why Your Hometown Columnist Sucks." Two years later, founder Will Leitch penned a similar note in a "Media Approval Ratings" post on the man: Plaschke is the master of the five-word, one-sentence...
Tiger Said Basically Nothing, Media Salivates
After the Stevie thing, Tiger's first tournament press conference since the US Open in June had the media teeming with excitement. They were all slipping notes into their Steve Williams reports that Wednesday would be SO interesting because Tiger would have to talk about the Steve thing and other...

More garbage from Plaschke
Well, boys and girls Uncle Bill is back with another story to tell but this time it's not a tale of woe...this one is from Fantasyland. The Christmas party season must have started early over at the L.A. Times because with all the Egg Nog flowing I am not sure what game Uncle Bill was actually...
Why Bother Playing Next Saturday?
Over at the LA Times, Trojan Alum - Adam Rose (who is also the lead blogger for "What's Bruin") - is already lamenting the prospect of Southern Cal playing in the 2009 Rose Bowl on All Things Trojan: Is the Rose Bowl good enough? Once you get over just how disgusting it is for a headline like...
USC, best of an era, best in the land...right
Where have I heard this before? USC's dominating win over Ohio State has once again cranked up the hype machine about just how great this team is and it has again put a heap of expectations on the program. I really rather liked SC being ranked 3rd or 4th in the polls as it took the pressure off...
Celtics Fans Must Support Paul Pierce...
Because the rest of the league is going to hate him. When he's not busy getting positive news about his knee injury, which as you recall some believed was faked, Pierce is out telling the Knicks to drop Marbury. Of course Pierce is on the record for loving the 2005/2006 soap opera that was the New...
