It's also just the game Sark needs to fuck up to completely lose the last shred of fan support he has in LA

"Not our night."

In related news, 2004 was "not our season."

7-4 vs 7-4. What a cool game, man.

Doesnt the script say Sark wins this one to keep the wolves just at arms distance?

Never pulled for ND before but now I do.

On an unrelated note, anyone else notice that @KenND has disappeared during ND's late season fade?

Divided on this.

In a vacuum, I would root for ND.

Knowing that a loss will warm up Sark's seat, putting him under the microscope from Day 1 next year, and increase the possibility he is not there in 2016, makes we kinda want to root for USC.

I'm with you... the short term, one night stand in me wants to see ND plunger Sark, but the long-term relationship, romantic guy in me wants to see Sark continually tread water just enough to keep his job for many moons.

I think it's probably a win-win either way...especially if USC wins and we keep an eye on Sark as he gallops around after the game looking for someone's arms to jump into.

USC fans need to learn to appreciate the beauty successive 7 win seasons can provide.

Unfortunately yes. Although the script also calls for a 3 game losing streak so between last week's UCLA plundgering, ND, and the upcoming Citrus Bowel Invite, maybe ND will be part of the lather.rinse.repeat.

Nope, I'm still here. There just haven't been as many threads that interests me lately. I still come here every day.

Line seems low to me. ND is playing second and third string guys at 6 spots on defense, including 3 out of 4 on the DL.

Agree. I see SC winning this one by 10-14 pts.

If Brian Kelly loses to Sark I will never again hold him in high esteem as an elite coach.

The same goes for Brian Kelly as well.
