I’m going to again mention defensive tackle Gavin Meyer because there are always players who don’t get the publicity they deserve. He had a nice opening game and has been completely overshadowed this offseason by the coaches/media obsession with Bear Alexander. But Meyer deserves praise today.

It’s finally game day in Las Vegas! Who wins the big game? I’ll make my pick later today. Nick Saban picked LSU. But he also picked Florida State to beat Georgia Tech and Texas A&M to beat Notre Dame. The 7:30 a.m. mass at Guardian Angel Cathedral just off the Strip had half the people inside wearing purple and gold. Continue reading Pick The USC-LSU Score

It is 105 degrees today in Las Vegas and the USC band held an outdoor rally. Shade was a premium thing. But it’s a dry heat! Continue reading Viva Las Vegas!
