I just got back online...
But, yes, we kicked butt.
I guess you didn't see the very end of the USC-Notre Dame game, though... MAN, that was amazing. It sucked for us, though. And the whole giving-USC-seven-seconds-back at the very end, thereby allowing them to score and win was totally unfair and incomprehensible. I am still in shock. My family and I were already up, jumping around the room and screaming, thinking Notre Dame had stopped them and, thus, we wouldn't have to face USC later. Grrrr.
"(1) USC 34, (9) Notre Dame 31

"SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -- Tested like never before, Matt Leinart, Reggie Bush and Southern California showed they have a championship jaw to go along with all that talent.
"Leinart pushed and spun his way into the end zone with 3 seconds left to cap a chaotic finish and No. 1 USC escaped with its 28th straight victory, a back-and-forth 34-31 win Saturday over No. 9 Notre Dame in a game that lived up to the hype.
"For a moment the Irish, dressed for success in kelly green jerseys, thought they had added another stunning upset to their illustrious history. Leinart scrambled from inside the 5, launched himself toward the end zone but was stopped short and the ball was sent flying out of bounds.
"The clock kept ticking down to 0:00. Notre Dame's fans rushed the field and coach Charlie Weis raised his hands in victory, but after the officials huddled, 7 seconds was put back on the clock and the ball was spotted inside the 1.
"The Heisman Trophy winner took it in himself on the next play, going over the left side for the score."
