Hump Day Procrastination

It's midweek and we're just a few days away from a big showdown in Nebraska. Here's what you can do to keep yourself occupied and fully immersed in all things Trojan:

• Vote for Pete Carroll as Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year. It's alphabetical by school, so try not to snicker when you pass by the names "Carr" and "Weis."
• Bid for the domain rights to www.johndavidbooty.com on eBay. Nobody has taken the bait yet ($24.99 opening bid, with a reserve), but there's still a few days to go. Just think, you could own the second most popular JDB website out there! (The first? A site called Booties for Booty. Use your imagination.)
• Place your bets. The line against Nebraska keeps shrinking.
• Send invitations to the Dave Matthews Band in a contest to have them play a college concert/pep rally. It's not looking good -- USC is sitting at 57th in the standings.
• Research the opposition. Learn what's up Cornhusker QB Sam Keller's uni-sleeve. Discover just how darned patriotic they are in the Midwest. And hold onto your hats ... latimes.com is about to release a video of T.J. Simers running around a farm in Nebraska. Something tells me he's never ridden a quad before.
• Plot your own prank. Fake priests seem to work at Notre Dame.
• Quack up while watching Oregon find another way for a Pac 10 mascot to get suspended. You may recall the Stanford Tree got axed for drinking on the job last year. Even though it's hard to find a good mascot these days, Tommy Trojan can hold his (oversized) head high as he sits at #2 in SI's power rankings.

I hear all these complaint about Southern Cal losing ground to Louisiana State
in the polls this week because Southern Cal was idle. If this argument holds water, then how did Southern Cal go from being Number 4 in January to
Number One in August without playing a game? If your argument is that it
is a new season; my argument is that it is a new week.
