Default USC was not taking this game seriously.

Fight on!
They were screwing around in the hotel parking lot. Screwing around in the pre-game. Very, very smug. Some came through the Beaver tunnel to the boos of the OSU fans. They thought they could merely show up and win.

Other observations:

1) Stadium was NOT sold out.
2) Fans around me were very very vulgar. Yelling things I had not heard since high school days. Worst was a lady behind me. At half time I put on my BYU cap. One guy even apologized. I said, no problem, I hear similar things on Cougarguard.
3) Rodgers is unbelievable. USC overpursued and thus gave #1 plenty of opps to gain yardage.
4) OSU was pumped from the beginning.
5) BYU replay personnel could learn some lessons from the lowly OSU replay officians. They actually showed replays more than once.
6) Loud.
7) People looked like they were dressed as pumpkins on Halloween night. Impressed that almost everyone wore orange, regardless of how horrendous it looks.
8) Loud. No one sat down for 3 1/2 hours.
9) One USC couple sitting in front of me. Guy looked like Pete Carroll's brother, Jim. They left their seats at half-time.

Not a bad way to spend an afternoon/evening.
