Robert, USC has avoided it before. A few years ago when they were re-upping the contract with Notre Dame, ND insisted that they play it as the last game of the year. USC refused to sign on and ND gave in. Now they play at USC as the last game of the year…but AT ND earlier in the year. The only reason this was done is because they didn’t want to go to ND in december and risk a loss due to the elements.

USC has been strong in their scheduling, but just the threat of cold weather and they put their tails between their legs and whined.

Hey Spinmax, I would also like to see LSU, Florida, USC etc come up here and show what they got, I am sure when they do that, things will be crystal clear!

Spin, even though I made that comment you are right about the weather. It’s awfully hard to build a team with a spread and for speed when you play in the cold. Purdue’s been able to do it and we’ll see how Michigan does. Things would be different if the warm weather teams had to travel to play the Big 10 teams on the road, but I still feel they would win.

F the bowl system. I’m sick of the slams of the Big 10. We have to play our games ON THE ROAD against teams who are basically playing HOME GAMES! It was 25 degrees snowing and 20mph winds in Happy Valley the other night, would USC win a rematch there? No way in hell. Penn state travels 2600 miles USC travels 10. That is bullshit I’m sick of it.

Mich St played Georgia down in Florida, Wisconsin played Florida state in Florida, last year it was Ohio state against Lsu AT LSU. The last time LSU had the nards to come up to Columbus…they were ranked 7th…and THEY LOST!

Just one year I’d like to see LSU, Florida, USC etc come up here to play. See what wins when they are in real football weather, speed or smashmouth. There’s a reason dome/warm weather teams historically do poorly in january.
