    Looking up Miles, it's interesting that in 2007 LSU won the title with 2 losses, and now everybody says 2 losses is automatically too many to qualify for the Final Four.

    Nice opening drive by the Bruins. -20 yards.

    Our Duck friend is right. Silly statement.

    So I said to David Eckstein, "You promised me, Eckstein, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life, there have only been one set of prints in the sand. Why, when I have needed you most, have you not been there for me?" David Eckstein replied, "Because my little legs had gotten tired, and you were carrying me." And I looked down and saw that I was still carrying David Eckstein.

    Both teams look bad in this CU/UCLA matchup. I think Utah is going to give CU fits.

    here are the remaining conf schedules (usc plays ND thanksgiving)

    Colorado 1 conference loss to usc
    @Arizona
    wazzu
    Utah

    USC 2 conf losses to Utah & Stanford
    Oregon
    @wash
    @ucla

    Utah (losses to Cal and wash)
    @asu
    Oregon
    @Colorado

    Colorado and Utah control their own destiny. win out and they are in.

    if there was a 3 way tie (usc wins out and Colo beats Utah but loses to Arizona and wazzu) then Utah would win the tiebreaker

    Last night pretty much means we have to win out. There are other ways to win the South, but it's looking more and more like we need to beat ASU, Oregon, and Colorado. Buckle up boys.

    We should cheer for Wazzu against Colorado. But you're right.

    With all the PAC-12 coaches on the hot seat, how big of a raise does Kyle get this spring when he wins the PAC-12? Over 5 million per year?

    I think Colorado will lose at least one of its next two games. Neither is a done deal at all.

    do you want the rosebowl? easiest way is us winning the division and Wash going to the playoff.

    Wouldn't you welcome a USC loss? That helps us win the division. Am I missing something?

    You said Washington not Wazzu. They are different. Yes we want Wazzu to win but at this point we want Washington to finish undefeated because if we make the conf champ game most likely win or lose we are in the rose bowl in that scenario.

    After last night's win, Colorado would have to lose to BOTH wazzu and Arizona for us to get the PacSouth belt even with a loss in Colorado (minus the three-way shenanigans that could still get us in). We definitely want Wazzu (and Arizona) to beat Colorado, but that is mostly academic at this point.

    I was so pissed at Mora and the Bruins, last night. The Buffs were horrible, stunningly undisciplined, it was the perfect set up for UCLA to grab a win.

    To me it doesnt matter. If we dont beat the Buffs we dont deserve the Rose Bowl.

    Buffs travel to Tucson next week.

    What are the chances RichRod can rally the Cats to build toward next year?

    Then the crazy pirate visits Boulder.

    Hopefully the Buffs get softened up, and maybe our new KR, Fulks, can do his best to imitate Reggie Dunn.

    It seems like RichRod wins a game every year he has no business winning. Oregon a couple years ago, Utah last year, etc. He hasn't had that win yet this year...

    It would matter if we lost one of the next two and won in Boulder. No?
