Sc should have passed on this bowl. Riley clearly hasn't taken this season or job seriously to date and frankly he needs to focus on either being USC's coach for real or getting the fuck out. This game will be no different.
I will play along as you are clearly busing balls.
Keep your expectations low tomorrow night. We all might see a few fun plays where our athletes run wild a few times and score. But can bet Louisville will come to play each down. And that will expose this Riley-led team.
The good news is that most bowl game are more irrelevant than ever.
All what will only matter now is the top 12 starting next year. Attendance and fan interest will wane. All of it will crumble over the coming years and likely reemerge as a top 36 or 44 Best "brands" league.
This league will look just like any other pro sports league. And I'm sure USC will be a part of it.
But this league willl leave out all other sports. Who the hell knows what that then means for "college" sports overall. Perhaps college basketball survives.
Getting back to tomorrow night. Likely a complete slog of 3 and outs. But who knows. Maybe Branch goes off. Doubtful.
I think that was John Hancock Bowl, going on memory. It was NYE 1990-91. Lost by one point to Mich State. I remember all that because I was in NYC for the first time, watching at a sports bar in the city.
You are correct. John Hancock was the Sun Bowl title sponsor at the time and their deal included eliminating "Sun Bowl" from the title. Same stadium, same bowl.

The whole thing is pathetic.

Take the under.
Win it
Play great defense with a new DC and defensive staff
Create momentum for next season
Move on
Are you kidding, the first 10,000 fans receive free tickets to Sea World.
A lot of players opting out of this game, you already know about the SC players.
Louisville will have a dozen players out including their best rusher and receiver.
Let's hope Miller is "elusive." Because he will need to be.
well, I am looking forward to seeing how CLR coaches a ragtag team.
I have no idea who is coaching the defense. That might be a good thing. no freaking wrist bands.
might be nice to make an exception and have names on the jerseys for this one. sc
