a spoiler. bruins win and heading to next friday's championship game and arizona gets in. troy aikman gets his number retired today. i'd clap for myself, too if that happened. hogan below average. oh, please. hogan not very good in the first ten games of the year. good the last two. started 12-12. stanford up 14-10. hogan shrugs off the sack. 37 yards and 234 yards passing, two tds for hogan. wright two rushing tds in the game and two more today. they are unable to take advantage of the cardinals special teams unit as well. trying to fake a field goal here. backup quarterback picked off by richard. stanford 31-10 the final. they have beaten ucla seven straight times. >> our best all-around games. our guys really wanted this game and played like it.

there were no excuses. we wanted to play it to the best of our ability and they went out and did it. >> oregon and arizona state next week. i spoke to jim harbaugh's dad last night and asked how much the niners would win by. he said one is all we need. in what was an embarrassing effort in primetime on thanksgiving night. they struggled to get one point. richard sherman, a thorn in the side of colin kaepernick and michael crabtree for the second time in two months. the interceptions didn't come guarding. >> it is not one on one. you see that, no one on one at all. they did a good job scheming. >> the second was pretty entertaining. i was laughing the whole time. i said if they threw it my way i would end the game and they threw it. >> better team defense, played

better team offense and do what needs to be done and that's got to win them all. >> could be major fallout from last night's loss. york tweeting it was unacceptable, fingerpointing at kaepernick for his performance and roman is under attack by of all people cassie. the daughter of the team general manager tweeted this, greg roman can take a hike. the 49ers don't want you no more. she since deleted her account and dad said they since apologized to roman and it was a teachable moment. of course it was. homecoming for seth curry as the warriors try to build on their best start to a season in franchise history. 12-2 they are not the warriors of michael jordan's day. but they were pretty good in the '90s. they were the hornets and then bobcats and now the hornets again. to the rack.

brian had 20. the hornets up three in the second. charlotte up ten at one point. here comes him for the bucket. 27 for the game. his family looking on, he chipped in 26. finesse dunk. warriors go up seven and win their eighth straight. golden state 13-2. wow. this abc 7 sports report brought to you by orchard harvest. >> best start in history. >> thank you, colin. we will take you out one more time to union square and the situation as we mentioned is escalating. this is a sky 7 hd look and we have ground angles here as we are told that win with does have been broken at macy's as well as the stratford hotel where rocks and bottles are being thrown. this is a clash of protesters

who are protesting the decision in ferguson, missouri, march all the way up from market street and were intent on disrupting this tree lighting ceremony. at least the tree lighting went off without incident and looked like everybody was safe and it is unsettled at best. >> we hear that protesters are inside the mall. we will continue to follow this on-line, follow us at twitter on-line, follow us at twitter and we - "dear scan, "i've been a scan member for almost two years and have been very satisfied with the plan." - "i would like to thank you and your organization from top to bottom." - "i recently called into scan regarding a claims problem." - "i had been going round and round with a problem with a prescription drug order." - "it is nice to know that one phone call to you, and you take care of it right away." - "your kindness and helpfulness has been appreciated "more than you will ever know. i could not have done it without your help."
