Lisa's Bio

Lisa Horne is a football addict who actually understands the nuances of the x's and o's of football. She is currently going into her second year as a contracted college football sportswriter for FOXSports.com.

She has been published and quoted on many websites, including MSN.com, SI.com, Deadspin.com, BCSfootball.org, MSNBC.com, ESPN.com, and Steroid Nation. She has done live college football commentary for FOXSports.com and also has a blog, "Straight Talk From the Left Coast."

Lisa was just ten years old when she told her daddy that she would be the first woman to cover the Super Bowl, and she ended up fulfilling her ultimate wish by doing live commentary of Super Bowl XLII on February 3rd, 2008 for MSN.com and FOXSports.com.

By the way, it's true. Chicks dig the long ball.

Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

I refuse to comment on this one because I don't think conferences should be evalulated unless every team plays each other and other conferences. It's lame to say once conference is the best. Conferences don't win championships, teams do.

    ABC gave East Lansing the OSU/Wisky game which was closely fought but not terribly pretty. I was hoping for the offensive fireworks of Oregon/USC, but the bar across the street didn't even have it on. Shameful.

    Wow. Pete Carroll has the highest winning percentage among active coaches. And he's overrated?

    The Trojans lost to Texas because Texas played better and had a great QB in VY.

    But you wrote, "maybe Pete Carroll should be called out on his record in over looking the little guy. " The next sentence reads: "Since 2005, when the Trojans lost its bid for their third straight national title, Carroll's contenders have looked more like pretenders when it comes to over looking the under dog."

    Carroll is now overrated after he was shooting for a third consecutive national Title?

    It's the freaking National Championship game, his team lost by 3 points and they are pretenders? It was a great game!

    The Trojans have lost to one non-conference team since he took over, the rest of their losses have come from the Pac-10.

    Instead of dissing Carroll, you should be giving more credit to the Beavers. They played a great game and outplayed USC in EVERY facet of the game.

    I'll bet my mortgage that if Pete Carroll said, "at the end of the season, I'm leaving USC, anyone college football team want to hire me?", there would be a lot of schools opening their pocketbook and welcoming him.

    Overrated? No way. Upsets happen. It's part of the game. But to call out a coach with the highest active winning percentage as overrated is laughable.

    Here is your response to my comment, which, by the way, was NOT directed at you:

    Yeah, Lisa. They lost by a touchdown, minus a missed extra point. By regular math that's 6 points, not 3. Did you even watch the game? Give Chris his due instead of being a P.C. homer. The loss last night to ANOTHER unranked opponent in consecutive years solidifies his case...at least in the minds of objective readers/writers. It's not nice to laugh at objectivity. You should apologize.

    And my response back to you:

    by Lisa
    from 3 days ago

    Blair, USC lost to Texas by 3 points. They lost to OSU by 6.

    I did watch the game...every heart-breaking minute of it. If you knew anything about football, you would undertstad why they lost.

    They ran a 4-3 because prior game film didn't show a strong running game. They had no NG. Jacquizz got most of his yards between the guards, up the pipe on blasts, where there was no NG.

    The third quarter, SC ran a 5-2 and stopped the run, which opened up the passing game, but also got the Trojans back in the game.

    Only in the 4th quarter, did SC resort back to the 4-3, and they ran on them again.

    Look, you can call out SC for making some poor D decisions, but to call a coach overrated because of a loss is ridiculous.

    Now where is there an insult? Where did I personally attack you? I am officially done replying to you and your baseless accusations.
