NCAA football, 2013-14

The weather is pretty shitty up in Eugene tonight.  Doesn't seem to be slowing the Ducks down all that much.

E:   20-0 and Cal keeps fumbling.  4 turnovers now in the first Q.   

[katmai]

Cal really isn't good, but yeah with UW facing Stanford and Oregon next two weeks I won't be shocked if they are 4-2 at the end of that.

[MadBurgerMaker]

Washington is way better than WSU and Cal, so at least they should be good games.  Or at least I think they are. 

Since I've been typing this, there have been two more turnovers in the monsoon game.  A pick and then a fumble on the next play.

[katmai]

Yeah they are better, but seeing how 'Zona did when they went from sideline to sideline attack to north/south I'm worried about how the D will hold up vs Stanford.
I think they have team speed and at home vs Oregon so think have better chance against them.

Pope Urban is now 17-0 at THE Ohio St. University.

[PDH]

Wyoming goes up 14-7 after a million hour rain delay.

I'm glad PeeDee doesn't teach math at that there University!

[PDH]

I rounded down

[MadBurgerMaker]

Nice.  Arizona State just scored two quick TDs (long pass and an INT) to go up 34-21 over USC. 

[MadBurgerMaker]

ASU needs to not choke this away.  It went from 48-21 to 48-34 in like 4 minutes of game time.  Theres 9:25 left to play.

E:  Problem solved.  62-34

A small part of me is sad Kiffin us sucking so much, cause means USC might get relevant again.

Electronic Arts has bought its way out of a potentially nasty class action lawsuit, for use of the names, images, and likenesses of former and current NCAA student athletes. All it cost was an undisclosed amount, vaguely referred to as "tens of millions of dollars."

The lawsuit was brought on behalf of past and present athletes who have appeared in an EA Sports videogame, but have gone uncompensated. The named defendants were EA and the NCAA, meaning that the NCAA now stands alone in its own defense.

Although the class is still pending certification, it seems likely to be granted as all plaintiffs are similarly situated and incurred uniform damages. It sounds as if EA was wise to get out relatively cheaply, especially considering that it's made billions on its NCAA videogames. Given that EA has now folded, it wouldn't be surprising if the NCAA was close behind.

Pope Urban is now 17-0 at THE Ohio St. University.

Goddamn right you will say it correctly.

[CountDeMoney]

Ohio State.  Must.  Be.  Stopped.

And... Kiffin is gone.  I absolutely agree with the decision not to wait until the end of the season.  What a disaster hiring Kiffin has been for everyone stupid enough to do it.

Some USC fans think this gives USC a distinct edge in the coach-hiring race they presume will occur with Texas.  I'm not convinced.  I think the two schools are looking for different kinds of coaches, and will have only one or two candidates in common..
