I didn't want to put this in the recap, but tonight I also learned that Diddy Riese has joined the 21st century and now accepts credit cards. This is a new and potentially terrible development for me personally.

At 5-2 I feel like I should be excited, but I’m still not convinced about the direction of the team. For 9mil though, let’s see what happens over the next 12 months.

ASU lost to Utah...watch as we fail to re-take the lead in Pac-12 South. We won, but like Arizona...there were misstep after misstep. Why is it one play the tackling is good, and then it's horrible the next? I saw several plays that Udub gashed us...had the initial defensive player "wrapped them up" would not have been 1st down after 1st down. Oh! ...and how many times did the announcer say "soft coverage"? I have an idea for a new UCLA drinking game...

Couple of other things I noticed. When we blitz Blaylock is vulnerable deep and it was good to see someone else but Phillips and Dulcich catch the ball.

In other news, if I read the box score right, ASU gave up 28 unanswered second half points, so either they’re not as good as advertised or our loss to them was horrible. Or maybe both?

We might be catching oregon at the right time. They seem to be struggling and i gotta imagine Chip knows how important this game is to the season.

Vegas apparently whiffed on UCLA-Oregon line. Opened Ducks -3. Hours later, it's Bruins -2.

I felt like this was a team that UCLA should have blown out, and they just barely squeaked by.
