Going to be brief because I have an overflow of work to do and I want to be out and about for the Orange Bowl and will want to watch the second half of the Rose Bowl.
That said, today was the final practice of the year for the Huskies (or the first, but that's semantics). At the end of practice all the seniors lined up and the entire team shook hands and hugged the seniors.
The day started with comedy, as the seniors switched jersey's. Julius Williams was wearing Butler's Jersey and he looked like Hulk Hogan before he used to rip the shirt apart. Keith Gray had on Tony C's jersey. It didn't fit.
By the end, there wasn't a dry eye left amongst the seniors.
As far as gameday, it was an interesting day. Randy Edsall sees the key to be won at the line. UConn is bigger and strong, and if the Huskies win the battle on the defensive and offensive lines they could dictate play.
Coverage will also be a key,. Buffalo likes to have some quick hits, and they are going to try and get Buffalo QB Drew Willy to hold the ball more.
There was also a different vibe on Donald Brown. Yesterday Edsall seemed to be saying that Brown leaving is a real possibility (not that anything was going to be decided). Today, Edsall was talking about how Brown will be a captain. DId anything happen? Don't know.
Keith Gray was his usual funny self. He didn't want to go into the CN Tower because he was afraid he would break the glass. Then he made fun of Mike Hicks about chasing a cheeseburger.
Team is ready to play.
Update 6:39 p.m.: Maybe I won't watch USC-Penn St. second half. 31-7 USC. USC is the best football team in the country folks. We will see how it plays out, but I am going to have an open mind who I put No. 1 in the final AP Poll. Likely the winner of the BCS game, but, they better be impressive.
Neutral field, is USC an underdog against anyone?

You're falling into that USC trap too? They beat the champion of a conference that is now 1-5 in bowl games and embarassing itself.
This happens every year. If USC wants to win the national championship, it should stop losing to teams like Stanford and Oregon State in September.
Agree with Sean O....Come on, USC is very good, but are they better now than the team who lost to Texas? No way...they weren't the best team then, and they aren't now.
Oregon State has a nice team...
My two cents, if OK wins by a half a point, they get the nod easily. The didn't lose to Mississippi, they didn't lose to Oregon State....They lost to Texas on a neutral field. Texas has more of a claim than USC, assuming they do what averyone else is doing, beats another B10 rep, OSU...because losing to this TTech team in Lubbock, is far more pallatable than losing to Oregon State.
Interesting to see you drinking the Koolaid...also, lets not forget how dreadful some of the Pac 10 teams were...UCLA, Wash, WSU, etc...dreadful...Syracuse would certainly not be the worst team in that league.
Hmm. I am not buying it guys. Pac 10 isn't great, though it is having a good bowl season.
But, what does that have to do with USC? Flat out talent wise I don't think any team in the country has as much talent as USC. I watched these guys enough.
I would pay to see on pay per view USC against Oklahoma. My guess is they would shut the Sooners down.
USC is tremendously talented and on their best day certainly the best team in the country.
I will go for the winner of the BCS game as the national championship most likely. But, USC doesn't sit behind anyone. They proved it again on Thursday.
