I guess it's only appropriate to start things of with a theme of new beginnings. New blog, new season even though we're already 9% done (11 games. 1 out of 11. let me get the calculator) Yup 9% done. I swear football season is too short and that's why women have to understand why we can't afford to miss a single game. Anyway.... Quick recap

We all know USC was a 20 point favorite and won by more than double of that. I won't go in to the stats you can read that on other blogs and on other sites like espn.com. The bottom line is, USC did way better than I ever expected. It's like going on a blind date or meeting some girl you met on Eharmony. Her description seems nice. Likes sports, music, movies, blah blah blah. Her picture looks great, but that's probably her best picture taken on her best side, under the best light, and chances are she looks nothing like that in person. So you email, you talk on the phone, you get excited, finally it's game day and you meet for coffee and she's just as hot in person as she did in the picture if not hotter. Well that's exactly what USC turned out to be.

I frequently go on scout.com. Pete Carroll has recruited like a mad man. He's like Hugh Heffner, but instead of getting hot bodacious babes, he gets the top football prospects in the nation. So on that site, you will see how great USC looks on paper. How many schools have a #1 ranked QB out of high school as their starting QB? Well I guess some do. But how many of those schools have a #1 QB and a #3 ranked QB out of high school as their backups? How many schools have a #1 ranked and a #2 ranked RB go to their school on the same year. So that's USC. Even hotter than expected. Better yet, continuing with our analogy, the girl asks you to spend the night.

USC's defense didn't just kick the crap out of the other team, their offense led by Mark Sanchez just lit it up.

Okay let's end it there. Back to new beginnings. This is our first post. I will be at the Ohio State game on the 13th. But right now, I'm waiting to watch the high school football game between Mater Dei and Carson. We'll get a good look at Matt Barkley. You should know who he is if not, google or check him out on scout.com.
