The other rivalry taken care of - it is time for the Rose Bowl

#

Notre Dame is fast becoming a bigger rivalry for USC than ucla. Last year’s game was 29-24 and this year they were coming off a great 9-1 year till this game. I really thought it would be closer than what it ended up being.

But USC game out with all guns blazing. The offensive power was too much for the Bruins.

Anyway, as today’s BCS selections show, USC is going to meet Texas in the Rose Bowl (not a surprise there). It is going to be a fanstastic matchup. Some idiot from the Longhorns has already made some comment about dominating USC. Going from last year’s idiotic nonsense from an Oklahoma defensive guy, it really surprises me that this new idiot said what he said. It is better to be like Mack Brown who in the studio made sure he put all the pressure on USC as the favorite and take all the pressure of his team.

Being an underdog is such huge game sure helps the young minds of these kids. Both coaches know it well enough and I just hope the Trojans prepare well for this matchup.

The bad part is that I will have to live through this media nonsense for a month now. And worse, the game is on a Wednesday and again, like last year I may not be in town to enjoy the game with friends and family here. :-(
