A Pac-10 Preivew, Reggaeton Style!

I randomly listen to certain music from certain eras in my life. More often than not, I tend to listen to reggaeton as it reminds me of the glory days of the summer of 2005 and the subsequent school year, which happened to be my senior year in the magical (loose definition) town of Palo Alto. Thus, I shall use song titles of my favorite songs as mottos for each Pac-10 school for the upcoming college football season. To be honest, I have no idea where this will lead me too, but it sounds fun enough to find out!

NOTE: I usually have no clue what the song is about, but chances are it's about women and sex. Therefore all the songs are essentially preaching the same thing but in different ways; somewhat like football teams (minus the sex with women, atleast during gametime of course).

Arizona State: "A Fuego" - This Don Omar jam fits the Sun Devils perfectly. They will try to make some fire in the Pac as they did in 2007. They also play in Tempe, which just makes this title all the more appropriate for this team.

Arizona: "Hold You Down" - The Wildcats will try to finally defend people for a change and hold them down. This is especially important since Willie Tuitama is (finally) gone from Tuscon.

Cal: "Gasolina" - This team will be powered up by the Best, Jahvid that is. His "gasolina" will need to be burning efficiently for the Golden Bears to make a trip to the Rose Bowl in January for the first time in fifty years.

Oregon State: "Burn it Up" - This R. Kelly and Wisin y Yandel collaboration suits the Beavs well because they will be looking to burn the ground as the Rodgers brothers will try to wreak havoc. They may also burn the chances for other (projected) top teams' chances of making the Rose Bowl, just ask the Trojans.

Oregon: "Scandelous" - Cuban Link and Don Omar are probably talking about one of their hos, but the Ducks need to be a bit scandelous (though within the limits of the NCAA) in their schemes on the field and once again be on top of the Pac.

Stanford: "Otra Notche" - Plain and simple, Jim Harbaugh and Stanford will try to move on in the pecking order of the conference, thanks Don Omar for this message.

UCLA: "Mayor Que Yo" - Another amazing hit by Wisin y Yandel, Daddy Yankee, and a few others. The Bruins are young and talented (check out the last two recruiting classes), and the Bruins know about being the "younger" one, right Cal? Should be an interesting season as Coach Neu's bunch try to capture the hearts of the older fellas once again.

U$C: "Gangsta Zone" - This Daddy Yankee hit's title is pretty self explanatory. Nothing says gangster/thug/punk/gangbanger like mustard & ketchup in South Central.

Washington State: "La Tortura" - Shakira's smash hit from 2005 sums up how watching Wazzu play will feel like for it's fans: torture. This feeling was felt by the Huskies last year, but it's a whole new year and the Cougs are prime to claim this title.

Washington: "Lo Que Paso Paso" - Another Daddy Yankee fan favorite that talks about how what's in the past is there, and it is time to move on. While this could apply to a variety of schools, it is especially relevant for the Huskies.
