MaP honored the wager, and had the "King's Ransom" delivered.
It was like an old episode of "Get Smart".

Anyone want to wager on the game of the week?

I said the same thing.
She asked the bartender.
I didnt even see her come in. All of a sudden, the bottle was on the bar in front of me.
I dont think it was MAP, but I literally didnt have time to ask, as she high tailed it right out the door.
I'll take USC this weekend if anyone wants to take the bet.

I didn't expect you to be there but I had to rush off to watch another game. Sorry that I didn't share a drink with you.

Wow! I was only able to watch the first half but based upon what I saw, they were holding their own against UCLA. They defended well and had more quality looks at the goal than UCLA.

I am not going to say that I called it because I truly thought UCLA would win this one but I did bring up the question of altitude affecting UCLA.

The other things that stood out to me were the long flip throw ins. Those are real game changers because they are almost better than a corner kick. Also, for all the complaining about Colorado playing "boot ball", for the most part, what I saw was mostly possession soccer played through the middle and then out to their wide forwards. This game could have easily been 2-0 or even 3-0 if Colordo converted the 1v1 chances they had. Credit to UCLA's keeper for defending those chances extremely well.

Now what about USC? Can the Buffs pull another upset at home?

i watched the same game and clearly saw something different. I heard that UCLA connected more passes in the first half than Colorado did all game. The difference for any who care, was a formation change in the second half that was completely unneeded. Colorado was playing for a tie and got lucky on a shot. Nothing more. If you want to talk about keepers making saves look at how many Colorado's keeper made. She ran out of magic a dropped a turd against the Trojans. Her fundamentals suck (partially why she didn't win the starting job into several games into the season). I give credit to Colorado's coach. He knows that he has a kickball team and he played to that strength.
 
I bet Colorado's coach would trade his whole roster (with the exception of maybe Korniak) for UCLA's roster. Please watch the replay if you want to see what happened. UCLA inexplicably switched formations at halftime in order to break Colorado's bunker. Not having Jenkins means they don't have a sledgehammer to hit people with until January. No biggie. From what I have heard they aren't stressing. They are going to get at least one home game in the playoffs and I can't imagine that BYU, 'SC or Stanford want them as a second or third round opponent and they would be favored against most of the teams that will be seeded 4 or 3.

The goal was from outside the box. Please post FACTUAL observations.

Looks like it was top of the box to me. I didn't say it was inside the top of the box. Goal is about 33 seconds into the clip.
And I'm not alone. http://www.cubuffs.com/news/2016/10...-second-consecutive-win-over-top-10-team.aspx
At any rate, great contribution.

You need to get your fact straight. UCLA beat several ranked teams.

I guess so since all teams are ranked. But I wasn't using past tense and I was referring to teams ranked in the top 25. And as of today, UCLA hasn't beaten a single team ranked in the current top 25. Last week Pepperdine was in the top 25, so at least UCLA could point to that solid win . . . not anymore. Maybe UCLA can get it done against USC. USC isn't overrated, so no chance of USC dropping out of the 25 by the end of the year.
