So now comes the 2008 Rose Bowl between USC and the Illini.

If this college football season has shown anything, it's that being a
higher-ranked team is anything but a guarantee of victory. It's been
fun watching a parade of #1's falling to "lesser" opponents.

Yeah, and how about all the #2's losing to *unranked* opponents.
Having the BCS #2 ranking was worse than the _Sports Illustrated_
cover curse.

Still, an Illini victory over USC is improbable at best. But the
friggin' bookies will make Illinois just a 4 point underdog. Which
just goes to show why I can never win a football bet with that
goddamn law ... ur ... dear friend of mine from North Cackalacky.
Even when the powder blue pussies suck the big one they somehow
manage to get beatable point spreads.

Anyway, we're goin' to the Rose Bowl, UNC is sitting at home *and*
I don't owe no football booze to nobody. Nyah, nyah, nyah.
