On ESPN they are reporting that Booty played the last 2-1/2 quarters of the game with a broken middle finger (I'm assuming on his throwing hand?). That would certainly explain the errant throws he made. What it wouldn't explain though is if he had that kind of injury, why would they let it blow up their season as opposed putting in Mark Sanchez and giving themselves a better chance to at least take care of the football and presumably win the game?

Not that I'm complaining or anything... :biggrin:

Possibly obvious question: Did the coaches trust Sanchez enough to put him on the field in a possibly tight game? This move would suggest they did not.

To which I ask: when you have the "ten best runningbacks in the entire universe" on one roster; then why do you even need a man out there to hand the ball off to them?

One would have thought that USC wouldn't even have had to throw a pass against Stanford. But I'm glad that the games are still played.

Congratulations Cardinals. It's good to see that it takes more than raw talent to win even in college.

USC's injuries have caught up to them and they are very vulnerable right now.
But........if they can just get through the next group of games and get healthy enough, they will make a come back.
Don't write them off just yet!

According to this site Booty didn't take the loss too hard.

L.A. NIGHTCLUB GETS BOOTY SHOTS AFTER TROJAN LOSS: SbB has learned that after the USC Trojans crushing loss last night to Stanford, which is officially the biggest upset in college football history (since the enactment of published point spreads), several Trojan players were see partying it up immediately after the game at Los Angeles nightclub Les Deux.

Among those at the Hollywood hot spot, which is a favorite of Matt Leinart, was quarterback John David Booty, who was observed doing shots and enjoying the company of several members of the fairer sex (not that there's anything wrong with that!).

Saturday night we were actually at the Rose Bowl to watch the UCLA-Notre Dame debacle, so unfortunately we missed out on Booty's bountiful performance (at least from the Stanford perspective).

The site isn't a total waste, it does have some nice pictures (like):

I really think "ego" is going to be the toast of this "team". I can't help but place a lot of the onus on PC. But then again... who am I to care? :biggrin:

Harbaugh channeling Bo after the big upset.

sportsline

"So many times, in all of these guys' lives, they are told that they can't do something ... " Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh said, "(that) you can't possibly think or expect that you can beat USC. They hear that hundreds and hundreds and thousands of times. It was about the team, the team, the team. This was one time when the players said, 'Yes (we can).'"

Cont'd ...

Funny Shit From a scUM Site.

Thank you, USC


Dear USC,

As you probably know, it's been a very tough year for us in Ann Arbor. Our football team had all this talent coming back, we started at #5 in the preseason polls and our schedule was favorable with eight home games. Then disaster struck in our season opener when we lost to Appalachian State, a 1-AA squad.

I'm sure you heard the jokes. Hell, everybody did. Folks that didn't even follow college football knew about this epic defeat and were talking about it. And why not? Pundits were calling it the biggest upset in the history of college football.

Until last Saturday.

That's when you guys lost to 41 point underdog Stanford. At home. To a team starting a QB for the first time who'd only completed one pass in his entire collegiate career. Now everybody's talking about your collapse. Suddenly, our loss is getting pushed aside as those same pundits are calling the Cardinal upset the "biggest ever."

Wow! Now we're not even the biggest upset of the season. Funny game, huh?

Anyway, we just wanted to say thank you for taking the heat off. We know it stings and there's some embarrassment involved (okay, a lot). But it fades. Plus you have all those hot song girls walking around your campus so we don't feel too bad for you.

Best of all, your arch intra-city rival can't give you any shit about the loss. Not after what happened that same night in the Rose Bowl.

Good luck with the rest of your season.

Fight on! (Or at least Kick On when you have a shot at points right before the half)

Your friend,

Michigan

Taking the heat off? They lost to Appalachian State! Nothing that anybody else has done this year is strong enough to mask the odor created by that steaming pile of a performance. Nice try though, scUMbags.

Losing to to App State is like banging Roseanne Barr. There is nothing that can explain that away. Losing to Stanford is more like banging Anna Nicole Smith. Sure, you may have nailed her when she was bloated and strung out - which in many ways is just as bad as banging Roseanne Barr, but in ten years time all people will remember is the name and people may reasonably assume that what you did may not have been all that horrible.
