And looking at the stat, wow, USC has owned the Rose Bowl. More than a dozen wins ahead of #2 on the list, Michigan.

Oracle:
In fairness, their best teams played in the Rose Bowl. Their not so good teams did not with few exceptions. For example, when they played in BCS games not in Pasadena, they asswailed Iowa and OU.
And in fairness, Bo, e.g., shit the bed in the Rose Bowl no matter who they played. And, in the 70s, so did Woody.
Excuses, IMO, are for losers. USC had some hellagood teams. The idea, e.g., that M could have beaten USC in 2004 or 2006 if only the game was played at Ford Field or anywhere else is silly.Last edited by iam416; August 21, 2016, 01:11 PM.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

Most books give 3 points or so for a true home field. With an even split ticket, the impact of home field is lessened imo. Also, the Rose Bowl doesn't really lend itself to being a deafening or intimidating place to play for visitors. (At least imo).

Sam ran all over us, but we already had two black players when that game was played. The thought that Sam integrated southern football is a fallacy.
The argument needs to be: did Sam make the black players on southern teams more welcomed and allow for expanded recruitment of blacks?"The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham Lincoln

How much do think mere proximity is worth, Entropy? With an absolute split crowd and two weeks out there to orepare. I'd say 0 points.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

TAMU disables the visiting locker room's AC. Bama, for example brings 30 portable ACs to all games at Kyle Field.
There are other examples, but those stick out."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham Lincoln

Now, it means nothing. Athletes sit in big leather chairs, eat, listen to music, leave at noon and are in LA in time for dinner."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham Lincoln
