As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a monstrous vermin.

  • Should Arizona's Mike Stoops have gone for two and the OT win? The Wildcats aren't healthy at running back, but they need to buck up because there's a lot to play for.
  • Arizona is hurting, but Arizona State is desperate and it needs to beat the Wildcats.
  • California was the more physical team in the Big Game. For Bears fans who want all of the Big Game stuff at their fingertips. And this is worthy of note: Jeff Tedford has transformed the "student" part of "student-athlete" on his football team.
  • Looking back and looking forward for Oregon. The cheerleader is OK.
  • A Civil War for the Roses is nothing new for Oregon State, though the Beavers are hoping for a different ending.
  • Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck had his first bad day of the season against Cal. The Pac-10 blog would like to encourage critics of the Stanford band to apologize for lacking a sense of humor and then, please, shut up.
  • It may prove difficult for UCLA to earn an at-large bowl berth if it doesn't beat USC, but beating the Trojans is bigger than any bowl game any way.
  • Are the tables turning between USC and UCLA?
  • The Apple Cup will answer a big question: Who is worse?
  • It's uncertain if quarterback Jeff Tuel will be ready for Washington State.
