Went to Astoria for dinner.


Sister and brother in law came into town, and they wanted to go to Astoria for a seafood dinner. Long way to drive, just for dinner. Saw a cool cloud in the waning sunset, up in Astoria, and got to see the Pacific Ocean and the close up of the waterfront. Loved it.

Perhaps it was because I knew what was going to happen, but when USC scored a field goal in the 4th quarter, I turned the TV off and we left for Astoria. It was probably a good thing that we didn't watch that last portion where UW drove down the field to score a field goal with 3 seconds left and win the game. It felt like something bad was going to happen, with USC failing to score a TD on their drive. The team seemed to have a huge letdown after settling for a field goal.

However, the portions of the game that I watched, I saw Aaron Corp do boneheaded things that no quarterback at USC should be doing, including throwing into multiple coverage. He made so many mistakes, I don't know how he'll be able to start another game at USC (yes it was that bad). Coach Carroll will need to have a lot of confidence in the kid, to let him start ahead of Mitch Mustain, the 3rd string QB that started 8 games while at Arkansas, two years ago, if the true freshman Matt Barkley is still sore this coming week.
