LOS ANGELES - What? You were expecting lightning to strike the Pacific-10 Conference-Big West Conference dynamic twice in two nights?

SAN DIEGO - It was a milestone day for LaDainian Tomlinson.

LOS ANGELES - This time Stanford won't be coming into the Coliseum as a 40-point underdog.

SAN DIEGO - C'mon, Raiders.
You're really making it tough on two groups of fans -- the ones who hate you and the ones who love you, which pretty much encompasses the entire football universe.

EUGENE, ORE. - Cross "USC blowout loss" off your list of things you never thought you'd see in Pete Carroll's Trojan lifetime.
I saw it, but I'm not sure it wasn't just a Halloween prank.

Random notes, idle thoughts and here's to healthy living ...
The Lakers will collect their championship rings before tonight's opening game against the Clippers, but exhibiting the bling won't be the most important thing they do with their fingers.
