LEGENDS: SPECIAL OPEN THREAD

Yesterday is something that I will remember for the rest of my life.  This is now my 2nd favorite memory in the rivalry behind Marvin Goodwin in 1993.  Just to shut all those cocky assholes up is something we all haven't felt in 7 years.  To go to the grocery store this morning and see a new bandwaggon forming, not a SUCk shirt in sight, but everyone was wearing their Bruin blues today.

In the first quarter when the game was still scoreless, I looked at my dad and told him "something is different today.  It just feels different."  His response, "don't get ahead of yourself, the game just started."  There was something in the air yesterday that I can't explain.  When SC went up 9-7 I didn't have that fear of losing that I had in years past.  I knew we were going to get things done.  When SC was making that last drive, I seriously thought back to 93 and said, we need that one more time.

After EM intercepted that pass, all I can remember is me jumping up and down, giving high fives to everyone in the seats around me, and turning to my dad and giving him a big hug.  At that point I was fighting back tears of joy.  I forgot what it felt like to beat SC.  It is just such a beautiful thing.  On that drive home, even this morning, every now and then I will just chuckle and smile.  Yesterday was one of the best days of my life.  

Go Bruins!! Fuck SC!!  

Darn.

UCSB is living in the attacking third, and shot one over the crossbar and one off the post.

They are attacking like crazy.

Hard to decide who to root for but I'm gonna say I really hope UCLA pulls off the victory for #100!  I still have no voice from shouting so much at the Rose Bowl yesterday--- GO BRUINS!

Both teams should have just flown home last night and played the game in Thousand Oaks or something.

Tackle in the box.  PK MAN!

I am a Longhorns fan, but today, ich bin auch ein Bruins fan.

Thank you Bruins for saving all of us from yet another month of ESPN Pete Carroll knob gobbling, and from yet another month of ESPN "bestest team of all time" fluffcake.

Thank you for saving us from a "4-Pete" - What, only because the final score was 41-38 doesn't mean the Trojans weren't #1 in some poll.  Let's just print those 5-Pete shirts right now.  Oh golly gee whiz, that Pete Carroll is so dreamy, let's just make it an even dozen.

I can't stand Pete Carroll.  I can't stand the uncritical USC media coverage.  I can't stand their disgusting sense of entitlement.  I can't stand their creative approach to student-athlete and student-athlete-parent housing.

For that matter, I can't stand former USC running backs who turn their ex-wives and their ex-wives' "friends" into human Pez dispensers.

Today is one of those days when the sun just shines a bit brighter, the air seems a bit crisper, and the birds are singing just a bit more.

I hate Southern Cal.  I am so happy they lost, and got plunked from the championship game.  I am so happy I got to see that look on Pete Carroll's face right after the final INT.  I am so glad I got to see JD Booty pick his nose while the clock was spinning towards zero.

Thank you Bruins.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Clear the ball!

Just cannot settle the ball in the attacking third.  Quit sending long balls into the corners.

Ugh.  Take the ball in and look for a shot/foul.

What was that strange thing Karl Dorrell did with his face a couple of times during yesterday's game?  Was he displaying ...emotions?  Could somebody please explain that concept to me?

Sincerely,

Messrs. Spock and Data.

Let's settle the ball and attack in the second half.  Enough with the crap services.

Settle and attack.

They want it more, and they just got another one.

2-0 Nachos.

That makes in interesting.  Going to be very tough, but stranger things have happened.

Like yesterday.

Sorry had to get in one cheer for my school!!  Hopefully Women's Volleyball will pull in #100----
