We're like Mark McGwire. We don't like to dwell on the past.
Seven years after they told us our computers would blow up during a Y2K meltdown, we're still banging away on them, moving forward, hitting the erase key on everything else.
So here's what's coming in 2007 to a television set near you. Log these into your new Ziggy desktop calendar lest you forget, with a couple of predictions thrown in to make things interesting:

Jan. 1: The Rose Bowl in Pasadena. For the last three seasons, USC's football team has been like a U2 concert. Now they're a retooled video on YouTube. Our gut says no matter what kind of fire Pete Carroll tries to light under them, the Wolverines' fire will be more fierce. Final score: Michigan, still upset; USC, complacent.
