Almost halftime in this overhyped match-up of a pit bull and a chihuahua. Two minutes and change left, with USC dropping 4 bombs to OK’s 1 little M-80. Ooops, make that 5 for USC. 35-10, with Mickey Mouse waiting in the wings to give some lame reason to watch beyond the half-time whistle. USC, you are #1, regardless what any college or conference says. Everyone else is just your bitch. ---

Wouldn’t it be a bitch if Oklahoma comes back to win? Perhaps you might want to wait until the game is over before you talk smack. ---

It is possible that some Auburn fans may feel they could have done a better job against USC than Oklahoma. Whoops, Oklahoma fumble on thier own 30. OK, some high school teams might do a better job here … ---

Yeah **Airman** , that would be a bitch if OK came back. When the announcer stated that the first adjustment they should do is change into better shoes, that might make the game more competitive. But on the other side, Pete Carroll ain’t gonna let his guys celebrate too early either. Although I’m rooting for USC, I was anticipating a better game like what we saw in the Rose Bowl between Michigan and Texas. Maybe I am jumping too quick to say that the other conferences write off the Pac-10 every year and when USC came out and made a great statement in the first half, many of us Pac-10 fans feel some vindication. Leinart looks like Manning out there. As for Auburn, I don’t think so. ---

This halftime “show” is horrifyingly awful. The only reason I’m watching is because there is supposed to be a two minute version of U2’s new video for “All Because Of You.” I can’t believe these people have recording contracts. Jeez, is the crowd booing? ---

You should watch Wanda Does It on Comedy Central, instead. That show cracks me up. ---

I understand all that, but I remember in the NFL when a team was up by 30+ and ended up losing. You never can tell what will happen. The second half might end up being totally reversed. ---

What the fuck is that shit they call a “half-time show”? I’ve heard cats fucking that sounded better. But nothing can bring me down after that first half of Trojan Asskicking! Man, I’m sportin’ wood! ---

Poor girl. That really was bad. How many high school girls do you think will wear hot pink tails this season? and poor boys. . . I’m embarassed for them. I can’t imagine the mood at the bars later. . . especially the one that Bobby co-owns. ---

Another touchdown and a new Orange Bowl record for most touchdowns scored by one team. Ouch. Somehow, I don’t think Auburn’s getting a share barring an absolute miracle. ---

That almost fumble almost became that spark that OK needed. Almost. 45-10, A Trojan clinic…Grease said it, not me. ---

48-10. Oklahoma is done. Fuck them. Auburn should have been on that fucking field with USC. ---

Yeah, because YOU’D certainly NEVER talk any smack if your Steelers were beating someone 35-10 … or 28-10 … 21-10 … or 14-10 … or 7-3 … or 3-0 … if it were tied … or if the Steelers were losing, but were playing real hard.
