I am sure many of friends are out there on the Rose Bowl living it up, tailgating away on that beautiful golf course. For rest of us (especially those not in the West Coast), we will be taking in number of games leading up to our kickoff around 7:15 pm PST.

Florida @ Arkansas (9:30 am PST), PSU at Purdue (9:00 am PST) Texas @ Colorado (4:00 pm PST), Oregon at Southern Cal (5:00 pm PST), tOSU at Wisconsin (5:00 pm PST) are just some of the games that might keep you entertained. You can keep tab of the scores via WWL.

If you need cram in some Washington State related notes check out out game page here.

If you are watching you can post your thoughts, comments, snap scouting reports (on any of our future opponents) right here in this as a pre-game thread. We will have the game thread up tonight about half an hour before our kickoff. So fire away.

GO BRUINS.

Just started raining out here

It’s been overcast all day. Hope they cover up the field. I’ll post any weather change.

First Time, Today -- SPTR's

The Pac 10 crew doing the Notre Dame:Stanford game has already blown a big call.

A Notre Dame player signaled a fair catch. His own team mate bumped into him. A flag was thrown and an “interfering with a fair catch” penalty was called on, and marched off against Stanford. The call gave ND great field position and they scored.

All replays made sure it was a terrible call.

Commentators have just shown a clear clip against ND that was not called.

The commentators: “Stanford sure hasn’t gotten any breaks from this Pac 10 crew.”

No one gets “breaks” when subjected to the inconsistent game calls of limited ability Pac 10 crews.

Come on Pac 10, this is embarrassing us on national TV. We all deserve better.

Harbaugh went nuts (rightfully, so) and the bench was warned that it was close to a penalty.

Great ND Commercial

Anyone catch the commercial with the anthropology professor — the one where she talks about teaching from a vibrant world and not just a text book?

One of the best academic commercials I’ve ever seen. Not a ND fan, but if I were a student picking a college that commercial would get me interested.

I was thinking the same thing

That was a great commercial. Usually I flip away from ads but that one had me intrigued.

Wisconsin Band?

The entire band suspended for the game today for hazing. alcohol abuse and sexual misconduct? What the heck are they doing over there? Also, this happened to them in 06 for similar behavior. That must be weird to have a home game with no band….

This Really Upsets Me

As a Professor Emeritus from the University of Wisconsin, and as the father of a daughter who wants to march in a band wherever she decides to go to school, I’m really upset.

I will not encourage Jen to go to Wisconsin. In fact, right now Wisconsin is on a list of 2 schools to which she may not go. The other? sc.

Fox College Sports Channel...

…is the only way to see the game in the L.A. area? It’s almost worth joining if they plan to broadcast UCLA basketball games, but I’m guessing the basketball program ranks a bit higher on the cable sports food chain. Does anybody know?

I love Leach's Offense

We made the right choice, but watching them is fun.

I searched the Fox sports channels today

but couldn’t find them vs. K. State.

I was driving home with the score 17-14 in the 2nd quarter, and thought I had timed it perfectly to see the second half. But they weren’t on TV, and the halftime score had become 38-14, just like that.

Do they have a broadcast package with a particular channel?
