Bumped - P. UCLA soccer holds a 3-2 halftime lead over Louisville, in the NCAA Men's Quarterfinal at Louisville.
Today is the final Saturday of the year that we have a full slate of college football to watch. While the Bruins look to end the college regular season in style after the 7:30pm kickoff with $C, there are several compelling games leading into our battle at the Rose Bowl. In addition to the $C game, there are two other Pac-10 rivalry games coming up today, both with postseason implications (all times noted - Pacific).
#1 Oregon @ Oregon State, 12:30pm, ABC. The Ducks and the Beavers both have significant skin in this game, opening the door for an even bigger than normal Civil War. With a win in Corvallis this afternoon, the Ducks advance to the BCS championship game to play either Auburn or TCU. Meanwhile, the Beavers need a win in order to advance to a bowl game - either the Holiday bowl or Sun Bowl.
Washington @ Washington State, 4pm, Versus. The Cougars host this year's Apple Cup; a victory will, for Washington, allow them to rise to the top of the murky middle of this year's Pac-10 by advancing to a bowl game, while Washington State can take the momentum displayed in the later half of conference play to heart with a win today (As well as knock their hated rival out of bowl contention).
There are also three BCS-conference championship games this afternoon and evening (get used to it Bruins, next year the Pac-10/12 gets one of these, as well as the Big 10).
SEC Championship game at Atlanta: #2 Auburn v. #18 South Carolina, 1pm, CBS.
ACC Championship game at Charlotte: #12 Virginia Tech v. #20 Florida State, 4:45pm, ESPN.
Big XII Championship Game at Jerry's Palace: #10 Oklahoma v. #13 Nebraska, 5pm, ABC.
Don't forget that in addition to these football games, there is postseason Bruin Futbol later this afternoon. UCLA Men's Soccer plays Louisville in an NCAA tournament quarterfinal match at 4pm pacific, at Louisville. No TV coverage, but the match is expected to be streamed via NCAA All Access.
For those games, and any others being played this afternoon, this is your open thread.

Ugh
They had to bring up the Miami game. Didn’t think about it, but that game might get a few mentions today, so will 13-9 but still.
They've both been part of the lead up to this weekend...
when we were knocked out, still makes me sick, and when we knocked them out, yah baby! Anyway, it’a all because of the talk of O and Auburn and what happens if they lose.
Go Bruins!
O helmets.
On a superficial note…I’m not usually a fan of what Ore. does with their uniforms, but I dig the helmets today! Showing up with their finest head gear to be invited to the bcs?
Anyway I’m off to the game in a few minutes and I’m getting so excited. I’m so nervous, but it’s a good one!
Go Bruins!
On a related note
I actually dig the Beavers’ throwback style unis. Does anyone else think that they’re taking a shot at Oregon and their generally ridiculous space-aged Nike outfits?
Oregon State
is sponsored by Nike. Seems unlikely they’d be taking a shot at Nike.
As for Oregon, it’s strange not to be wearing school colors in a rivalry game.

So are you rooting for OSU or UO?
I guess I’m rooting for UO since my dad studied there for a while. It would be nice to see a Pac 10 team in the National title game too.
Go Bruins!
Wonder how the Rose Bowl is like now?
Must be a madhouse (hopefully full of Bruin fans).. Hopefully we will crush them tonight!
Going back to the Rose Bowl for a USC-UCLA game for the first time since I graduated from UCLA (in1996) so I’m really excited.
Go Bruins!
Purposely skipping games today
Although there are some great games today, I’m saving all my cheering mojo for one.

Soccer @ Louisville
Currently in the 23rd minute; Bruins scored a goal in the 8th minute, and followed that up a few minutes later to take an early 2-0 lead.
With the snowstorms that have hit Louisville, the field reminds me of a New England Patriots home playoff game.

Louisville answered the latest score
Bruins still lead, 2-1 in the 30th minute.
Arreola scored the first Bruin goal in the 7th minute, Rowe followed up in the 17th minute.

GOOOOOOOOAL UCLA!
A bit of controversy in the 33rd minute, as Chandler Hoffman scored a goal for the Bruins thanks to a moment of sloppy play in the Louisville backfield, despite appearing to be offside before making his shot.
So far for the Bruins tonight: 3 shots on goal, 3 goals.

Anybody got the link for the game tonight
We’re Trying to find the Justin TV link. Please help.

I'm trying this link
Not sure if it is going to work, but seems good so far:
Game is at the bottom of the list
justin.tv often doesn't show it
until the game is underway. Channelsurfing.net has a link up now. Personally don’t want to chance a crappy stream, and none of the few sports bars in my town have the package to show our game rather than the hockey game our local FSN is showing instead, so I’m driving 45 into Kansas City to watch it there. Might catch people on the game thread if wireless isn’t too slow there.
Roses are red, violets are blue...f*** $C.
That's what I get
for not doing preview as I usually do. 45 minutes …which will suck, as the game probably won’t end until around 1am here.
Roses are red, violets are blue...f*** $C.
If anyone has the hookups
Can the student section sing Rocky Top before the game? I would cry of laughter
