Saturday Football (Schadenfreude edition)

I said all along that USC weren't as good as they thought they were and were not deserving of their #2 ranking. After all, when #3, they only beat unranked ASU by a single touchdown. And now, unranked UCLA beat them 13-9 in a great game. 

National Championship game ... not yours, USC, not yours.

As Schopenhauer said "Neid zu fühlen ist menschlich, Schadenfreude zu genieÃen teuflisch."

It's the last regular season game for ASU - the Territorial Cup game against the University of Arizona Wildcats. At the beginning of the season, I don't think anyone would have predicted that ASU would have a 3-5 PAC-10 record and U of A (4-4) would have beaten three ranked opponents in a row…
ASU are playing #3 USC this evening. The game last year was a classic, although ASU lost 38-28 after leading 21-3 at the half. Here is what I wrote last year. I have my doubts that today's game will be quite as close. Update #1: End of the first half and ASU are down 21-7. Once again, ASU have no…

So, remember a month or two back when everybody was whining about how Michigan got screwed out of a shot at the Mythical National Championship? They lost to USC last night. USC, you'll recall, demonstrated their inferiority to Michigan by losing to UCLA, which is how they ended up in the Rose Bowl…

As a Michigan fan, I could have told you who deserves #2. I saw the USC-ASU game, and USC was sloppy. Compare that to the precision evident in the UM-OSU Game, and it's a no-brainer.

No way UM should get another shot at OSU. Let Florida take their shot. They had the hardest schedule this year, and they actually won their conference. Send Michigan to the Sugar Bowl.
