USC-Oregon @ The 9-0: 1st Quarter

It took five seconds for the crowd to erupt. A quick turnover durning the opening kickoff put USC on the 20 and put 9-0 goers on the edge of their seats.

It's not the 9-0 you remember, but it is college ... students could be seen studying at the bar (above) between plays. Who needs highlights when you've got a highlighter?
...

Things calmed down. The crowd wasn't very inspired by the three-and-out play of USC. Mark Sanchez needs to adjust to the noise and calm down.
...

And now USC is down 7-0.

A holding call just wiped out a wild Joe McKnight touchdown. The kid does look a little like Reggie.

If you ever wondered what it's liked in the press box, imagine a library perched precariously over a football field.

The reason I bring it up is that you've got everything you could want when you're watching from home (or your local watering hole, if you're dorky enough to bring along a laptop). You probably have it better than the press box. Sure, they get free hot dogs ... but they also get to deal with 100 other people slowing down the Wi-Fi connection. Your TV is probably bigger than the press box monitors, and your access to game trackers on ESPN and CSTV is the exact same thing the media is using.

College football is fun no matter where you are, but I'm definitely appreciating high-def screens and a kitchen. As Joe Pesci might say, "I've got everything!"
