I thought the controversy was the Stanford player was called down on fourth down even though on replay he may not have been down.  I watched it and thought it was correctly blown dead when his forward progress was stopped.
the play should have been looked at more closely.  He may not have been down.  Wasn't listening for the whistle declaring forward progress. But, if he's not hit 3 yards behind the LOS he scores easily

PAC-12 refs man.

Still, in hindsight the wrong call to go for it. I will admit being wrong because I wanted him to go for it too.

Apparently, women usually dislike scratching.  I don't mean of your nether regions either.  They might tolerate the occasional brief scratch of an itch, but consistent scratching drives most of  them nuts.  "Why are you SCRATCHING all the time?".

You also cannot play baseball with scratching, including the aforementioned nether regions.  You certainly can't hit a slider without scratching.

They also tend to leave you alone if you are, um, animated when a play happens.  It doesn't even need to be more than a run off tackle for 3 yards.  Just jump up and shout at the TV that the tight end was clearly down field and the safety was in cover two and that SHOULD HAVE BEEN CALLED and I CANNOT BELIEVE THEY MISSED THAT!!!!!

Do that about every third or fourth play, unless of course they actually understand football in which case you'll need to be more creative.

As a drinker of gin, I've never been a vodka fan, but I do keep a bottle of Tito's on hand for visitors and parties.  Plus crown and a few scotches.

yup, when the defense is crashing the ends (safeties or corners) that hard, ya can't have the I-back 7 yards deep
the play was money at the point of attack
I didn't like that play-call--QB moving away from the line to hand-off deep in the backfield.  A repeat of the 3rd-down call might have worked better.  Or a QB sneak.

Gin really is vodka, just flavored vodka.  I can tell the difference between vodkas if neat.  The best ones are not "oily".  I also prefer gin, Tanqueray Ten would be my favorite, also neat or close to it, but with tonic in summer.
I also like bourbon, calvados, cognac, armagnac, marc, and whatever else gets distilled more often than not.
Marc de Champagne is pretty neat stuff.

Nah.  Going for it was absolutely the right decision, IMO.  4th and goal from inside the 1?  Gotta go for it.  USC just stuffed it.  Not all good decisions are rewarded.  Not all bad ones are punished.

BTW, I will have the biggest "I told ya so" moment if TCU beats Oklahoma and screws up the Big 12 getting in the playoff.  Stupid.

Haven't really kept up on these, but with the SIM tourney next week...

Friday night Sims:
USC 26, Stanford 23

Was a shootout early, 23-23 at the half, then only second half score was an early 4th quarter FG for USC

Apparently UCF has a guy on defense with no left hand, and he just had an impressive fumble recovery
