Who was […]

What moron schedules a game against #3 USC? How insane do you have to be?
I was predicting a 30 point win for USC — they managed to win by 45! ESPN:
Mark Sanchez threw three touchdown passes in his first game as Southern California’s true No. 1 quarterback and the third-ranked Trojans rolled over Virginia 52-7 […]
