You are absolutely right about the Big Ten and the Rose Bowl. Do not understand it myself. Just know that they usually lose big there.

They also choke in the NCAA basketball championships (for the most part). Do not understand that either.

But what kind of fan would I be if I did not say "fear the sweater vest!"

That's the whole fun of being rated number one. It has been a marvelous year, and I have enjoyed it thoroughly.

On January 9th, we will know the rest of the story. Either the sweater vest prevailed... (or it did not - but you did not hear that from me. ssshhhh!)

LOL. Any one named after the third Confederate leader, can't be all that bad!!

Seriously, no way Boise plays a game like that a second time. That was one for the ages.

No doubt Ohio is the odds on favorite. I just wish we (USC) had not fallen asleep against those damn Bruins!!

Maybe we can meet you guys in Pasadena in 2008!!
