Less than an hour now until the new BCS standings are released and, if Jerry Palm and Rich Tellshow are right, USC officially becomes a Sugar Bowl front-runner.
In the mean time, we can all enjoy another fine Daily Trojan article about the Trojans by the incomparable Arash Markazi. (I don’t mean to serve as blatant free advertising for this kid, but the more I read his articles, the more impressed I am.) “Miami�s loss has USC thinking Sugar a little Sooner than expected,” the headline reads. Excerpt:
They tried not to watch. They tried not to listen. They tried not to care. But it was impossible. Like an adolescent who accidentally finds the adult channel, the temptation was too great.
During the second half of USC’s 43-16 drubbing of Washington State, the JumboTron at the Coliseum would continually give updates of the Miami-Virginia Tech game. First it was Virginia Tech 7-0, then 10-0, then 17-0. With each update, the crowd cheered louder and the smiles on the Trojans’ faces grew bigger.
By the time the Trojans had reached the locker room, the damage had been done and the result was in: Virginia Tech 31, Miami 7. It was the best news to come out of Virginia since the end of the Civil War.
“How ’bout them Hokies?” USC coach Pete Carroll said.
Hehe. Apparently Pete knows a little more about the BCS than he let on to ESPN. But no matter — Arash always gets the scoop. Anyway, read the whole thing, as they say.
Also, as long as you’re at the Daily Trojan website, you might as well read the front-page game story (”A little Sugar in the bowl?“), and the columns about the Trojan defense and, if you care (which I frankly don’t), the Wazzu offense. And don’t forget to read about the top-ranked USC women’s volleyball and men’s water polo teams. And then there’s this: “Public urination will draw new fines.” Ah, the DT. :)
