How about: Tivo the games, take an LSAT in the AM, and then watch the games after the LSAT as a reward?

Of course my favorite college team is my LS Alma Matter -  USC Trojans,  Fight On!  

But I'm really bummed about the NCAA sanctions that banned them from post season bowl games for 2 years.   Angry  Those and the other NCAA sanctions were draconian in their harshness.   Angry  Sad Sad  Angry  Cry

Gotta say I disagree. The rules were there before USC violated them, and I'm sure USC and their players were aware of them; if they then choose to disregard the rules, they need to pay the consequences. Perhaps the "draconian" measures will ensure they comply with NCAA rules in the future. Even if it was only the players that accepted the gifts and not the team as a whole, the team and athletic department should still be held responsible for failing to keep their players under control.

Yeah, I agree that rules were broken and they deserved to be sanctioned for it.  I just think that the entire set of sanctions imposed is an overly harsh punishment given the proven facts of the violations.  Might I be a little biased?  Well, it's my team and it will suck to have no hope of seeing them in a bowl game for a while, but still...

Enjoy the Lane Kiffin era! That guy reminds me of a 13 year they let into a strip club.

Best games so far:

ECU vs. Tulsa (gotta love a hail mary win)
Virginia Tech vs. Boise (that was a nailbitter all the way through)
UMich vs. UConn (Denard Robinson is the man)

Can't wait for UMich vs. Notre Dame next week!
