USC vs. Cal 4th Down Stand. Crowd gets LOUD

[hendersona61]

The good ole days! FIGHT ON!!!

[chuckywang]

Where's Rodgers now? Where's Leinart now?

[DaAmericanWanksta]

If aaron rodgers had more time then they would be the national champs instead if USC

[CuddinPurple]

What A Coincidence That Aaron Rodgers And Troy Polamalu Played In This Game And Now Their Playin Each Other Again But In The Super Bowl.

[chosunpeople]

@CuddinPurple

polamalu was drafted in 03.

[chosunpeople]

imagine if aaron rodgers was the qb for this usc team instead of matt "houston texan 3rd string qb" leinart.

[djaxnumba1]

First off my friend Jonathan Makonnen said to me that he was clipped by one of the DB's in front of the ref and it wasn't called. Anyways Mack Brown called his coaching buddies and they voted Cal behind Texas.

[lartinajones07]

@djaxnumba1 man fuck texas im a usc fan i dnt even really like cal but the bcs really fucked cal over in my opinion. bitch brown give up some ass and head to get texas in the rose bowl that year against michigan

[SFFOOL76]

@djaxnumba1

Is Makonnen the receiver Rogers tried to throw to in the end zone?

[Asolovieff38]

One of the saddest moments in my life

[janitorsdisease]

man it sounds loud on tv, its way louder in real life

[LinamQB6]

usc = best fans... and best team fight on

[downawang23]

whcih is why they got ass raped against the ducks??

[SouthSixthStreet]

USC has great fans, but the stadium lets too much noise out like Michigan & Texas. Stadium will never be SEC loud.

[LinamQB6]

fight on. cal sucks

[collegefootballrules]

PASS INTERFERENCE!

[OxfordTown]

Uncatchable.

[DONTbRuinYourLife]

MY ASS

[IRISHMOBSTER55]

☭al

[natedagr808]

usc only scores 23 on them, but texas tech shredded them with cumbie throwing for over 500 yards.

[DARickster777]

cal should of been in the rose bowl that year.! not no gay holiday bowl which no pac 10 team cares about

[natedagr808]

ya they should have considering they only lost by 6 points to one team all year.

[sasmall1986]

Yeah...it's not like Cal's starting quarterback was injured against Tech or anything. Oh, wait.

[001Maverick001]

"On this day, the stadium was SEC loud" I like that

[jpete3027666]

If only Rodgers had made that throw, the receiver was open.

[angelo1405]

How many decibels was that....50 ? lol..

[pepperonihead]

USC lead the entire game. Cal moved the ball all day but had trouble but when it came to getting in the end zone, well, things got really hard for Cal. Again they never lead! I was in my normal spot, section 11 HERD!!! We were so loud Rogers could not hear a thing! That goal line stand was one of the loudest moments I have ever heard at the Coli. I was at the ND game too and that was so loud I will never forget it.

[dabbott14]

Cal outgained USC 424-205 and still somehow lost this one. That's incredible.

[nomenclature123]

Special teams made all the difference. Botched punt, missed fg's that should have been gimmies, etc

[guitarjosh]

USC's average starting field position was in Cal territory that game.

[r5brinks]

This was the best win of that season. Cal probably outplayed SC

[trjons]

One of the top 5 loudest days I've been to at the Coliseum. It was headsplitting LOUD.

[DT4FBB]

I was there too. I was near a guy who said it was the 2nd loudest he had ever heard it in the Coliseum, only behind the famous 1974 USC/Notre Dame game. I heard after the game that Leinart got his bell rung in the first half which was one reason SC's offense looked so bad. Cal also had a very good defense that year.

[nikeg]

Best game ive ever been to. Cal outplayed us too

[slybooha]

I disagree that Cal outplayed us.

Bend but don't break defense, baby.

Sure we missed some opportunities that turned to FG's instead of TD's but the last drive pretty much summed up the game.

[HawaiianBear]

You know Lyman tore his ACL on that play, which basically ended his football career.

[KnightsHuSayNee]

biggest BCS shit ever. How the hell did Cal not get in?

[italiasoccer077]

Because Mack Brown is a DICK and he got all his little Big XII buddies to vote for his team in the coaches poll.

[ScarletandCreme32]

Funnily enough, Texas Tech went on to destroy Cal in the bowl.

[someonenear]

coz BCS always means Beyond Common Sense

and LSU belongs to Surely Everyone Cheats divison

Fight On!

[viperdawg41192]

i completely agree with you, and that cal was probably the 2nd best team in the nation, only losing to usc by 6 on the road, but i really do think that the texas tech win was a fluke.

but cal would have destroyed oklahoma just as bad as usc did. but that's how it is, the pac-10 is the most underrated conference in the country. i mean that year, there were crappy teams like pittsburgh who got destroyed by utah and stuff, just horrible stytem we have here

[muppet151]

Cal was missing 8 of the 22 starters, for the Holiday Bowl. If Cal stayed healthy, they were the second best team. Rodgers was throwing to Red Shirt Freshman in the bowl game, with a depleated offensive line.

[viperdawg41192]

oh really, i was unaware of that. well, yeah you're right, if they were healthy, they were the 2nd best team, if not exactly at the same level as usc

[USCTrojansOwn]

cal should have gone to a bcs game. they were about that so they layed an egg in their bowl game

[jpete3027666]

@KnightsHuSayNee yeah no shit, only loss was to USC by 6 points and we outgained them like 2 to 1 on this game...and they don't get a BCS game

[lighterhead]

@KnightsHuSayNee They didn't deserve it...They made it to what, the holiday bowl? And lost.. So clearly, they didn't deserve a rose bowl.

[KnightsHuSayNee]

@lighterhead yeah cause bowl games really reflect how good a team is. without a doubt washington was better than nebraska this year... or would you like another one of the hundreds of examples i could give you?

[lighterhead]

@KnightsHuSayNee If bowl games don't reflect what a team does during the season, then why are you bitching about the BCS?

[DaAmericanWanksta]

@KnightsHuSayNee b/c they played a late season game that was delayed b/c of a hurricane

[SFFOOL76]

@KnightsHuSayNee

Because Mack Brown was a slimy fucking pimp, I remember watching the BCS announcements in December and they had Mack Brown in the studio with a huge grin. Never ever liked the Longhorns ever since.

[shaunhoward]

@SFFOOL76 remember when he said how they (texas) lost to the best team in the country that year? Lmaaaaaaaaaaao dude was so far off.

[oleold]

Pete's a hell of a coach He has really revived that university football team because I can remember when paul hackett was the coach and that was murder.

[bigbrorob07]

Hey, no doubt. Pete's brought them back from a bad season to National Powerhouses for six consecutive years. If I'm right, I think he's never finished in the rankings no lower than 20th in the Polls.

[theshowtimekid]

2001, they finished unranked...losing to utah in the LV bowl...SC fan here, just letting ya know...i dont think we will be lower than 15TH anytime soon

[truesoonerfan101]

hey orangekush, i remember this game this was the day we beat UT 12-0, those damn CAL bears blew everything, if they had pulled it off we would have had to play Auburn instead of you guys who were on fire that night.

[viperdawg41192]

oh shut up, cal would have raped you too, USC just showed how much better they were than you. they raped you guys, ok couldn't stop them at all. USC was dominant that year. auburn would've beaten you guys too
