Hmmm opening at -2.5
That means it should be a 6-3 game for UM to cover
With Kiffin and Booty on our side, I'd say we get three given to us by UM. We sure won't get anything on our own with those two bozos

Any comment calling Booty a bozo from someone who went to college for 11 yrs (see earlier post by TrojanHorse) makes me wonder who the real bozo is.
Give Booty a break. He didn't false start for Williams and Rachal.

Unfortunately, in today's politically correct society you just can't come out and fire an OC who's 10-2 this season, especially when you're indebted to his ol'man, Monte. I'm sure Pete's hoping Kiffin gets the ASU job or any order HC gig. This will take the pressure off Pete of having to fire Kiffen.

Out of curiosity, when was the last time that SC was not favored in any game? The Orange Bowl v OU? OB v Iowa in 2003? Or would it be Auburn at the start of the 2003 season?

The betting line means nothing. The only thing of importance at Heritage Hall is Pete's friendship with Monte Kiffin.

According to the LVSC Open(ing) line it was a pick.
Scotty, where did you see the opening at MI -2.5? It might move to that, but you said USC opens as a 2.5 point underdog.

PH55 1 or 2:
They knew that Hickman and Davis were going to rush like crazy. They had the ND tape>practice/preparation/game plan>POOR>Defeat:Period. You don't have to be a FB genius. JDB is NOT ready for prime time; it's Mark Sanchez time and the Rose bowl is NOT a bad time. They don't have anything to lose. Might as well let a good QB play.

James -- you're right, you have to go back to the 2003 opener at Auburn (+3). The last time SC was a non-road underdog? UCLA (+3.5), in Carroll's first season.

If SC is the underdog, take the money-line bet for the win. Money-line bets are the best thing going in Vegas. Should make at least 1.4 to 1 on your money with a win. (A true win, not beating the spread)

when you talk PH55, you can't use the words FB and genius in the same sentence
What do you expect from a Booty hugger
