Seriously though, what is the incentive for Georgia, Michigan, TCU, or USC to play in their conference championships when the only consequence of playng would be losing and letting teams who weren’t good enough to play this weekend jump you?

I also want to thank Helton for fielding the first completely blind college football player. He didn’t listen to those who said I didn’t belong on the field but saw me as just another one of his players who had to prove my worth through my football ability not my physical ability

@kobebryant
was 11 days before losing my eyesight when I was 12 years old. He gave me a very special gift that I still have. It was a gracious moment that went a long way. Thank you Kobe for making me smile when all I wanted to do was cry!

WOW I always used to tell campus security that I saw some weird characters hanging around the facilities but no one ever took me seriously... not sure why... but serves them right 😉✌🏼
A homeless man hung out in the USC football facility for several days. He ate meals, hopped in the jacuzzi tub with players & only got caught when he received a uniform and attempted to field punts at practice. This is an insane story:

Only so many years can you take playing on the road on Friday nights, only so many times can you play at 7:30 PST in front of no national audience, only so many times you can deal with East Coast bias, something had to change and the PAC12 didn’t seem like they were willing to

Only way to make these games worth it in the long run would be to give winners automatic bids into a limited playoff expansion IE 6-8 teams or automatic byes in a greater expansion IE 12 teams otherwise why play? Even for health & rest purposes teams will begin sitting starters

Utah really is the new UCLA: it makes their year by playing their little hearts out and beating SC, but then can’t find a way to win any other important game on their schedule. Just a word of caution Utah fans… go ask UCLA when’s the last time they’ve won a Rose Bowl…

UPDATE- He’s out and it went well! It turns out it was a fatty tumor that has nothing to do with his spleen and weighed 7 pounds! It’s like the ones that grow on the outside of labs. There is a cancerous version so pray it’s benign but all together great news! Praise God!
Quebec has to go in for surgery to remove his spleen today. He’s got a tumor on his spleen but we won’t know if it is benign or malignant until they can biopsy it. Please share with any and all prayer warriors out there he could use the prayers. He’s happy and feeling strong.

How did the refs niss that? I’m sorry but there was a blatant disregard for the rules by this officiating crew tonight. Clear calls that are objectively wrong. Pac 12 seriously needs to figure this out or USC may as well boycott till we can play a football game fairly!
