8 p.m. ET -- It's No. 1 USC against No. 2 Texas, the Rose Bowl, live on ABC! Keith Jackson just made it through the pregame intro without morphing into a Gatorade commercial. Here was my favorite part: "By consensus, these teams rank one and two, with nary a vote of dissent."

8:02 -- Dan Fouts, Jackson's partner tonight, just tied Doug Collins' record for most broadcasting clichés in an opening: "Both of these teams are ready, willing and able. This is gonna be like a heavyweight fight. It's time to get it on."

8:23 -- Funny shot of Leinart warming up and wearing a conspicuous knee brace. After the Saints locked up the No. 2 pick, do you think Leinart went to USC's doctor and asked, "Can you give me the biggest, scariest looking knee brace you can find

I like this one

9:45 -- After USC's offense gets hit with illegal substitution and delay of game penalties, Fouts notes "two uncharacteristic mistakes by the Trojans on this drive." Excuse me? This is a Pete Carroll team! It's absolutely characteristic!

Good stuff!

11:40 -- Since I firmly believe Marv Albert should do every big NBA game, Pat Summerall every big NFL game and Keith Jackson every big college football game, no matter how old they are, and only because it feels like a bigger game when any of them is involved, I feel totally comfortable saying this: Listening to Jackson is like driving with my mother at night. In other words, maybe he can't really see anymore, and he might drive over a few curbs, and maybe he'll even send a pedestrian diving behind a parking meter ... but it's always exciting, and you always get home safely in the end.

Ol' Sandy must've been something before electricity. Wonder if she'd like to make fourteen dollars...the HARD way. :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

I would rather give her seven dollars with no "work" involved.

Bill Simmons rules. Everyone should read his columns, though he tends to dwell on the Red Sox and Pats.

Here's one of the gems I missed during the game:

12:21 -- Young runs for the 2-point conversion. I now have him ranked above every NFL QB except for Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Carson Palmer. Good golly. We also had this exchange right after the conversion:

-- Jackson: "Only 19 seconds to play ... clock didn't move on that play."
-- Fouts: "That's an extra point, it's probably not going to ... "

You older guys promise that Jackson at least used to know something about the game of football, right?
