No copy editor for your blog? "Odds on" would be 1-3, not 3-1. "Short" odds, yes. "Odds on," no.
Chelsea, don't mind Scott's errors, he is too interested in stirring his cynical pot of stew
attempting to be 'THE' sports writer supreme.
Too bad Scott can't be as PRO USC, as his counterpart (Dohn) is toward UCLA.
Scott, always reports SC football news with his certain acerbic style of sarcasm, why Garrett even allows his butt on USC property, baffles me.
Ooh, Scott, everyone is now shaking in their boots about Chow at UCLA...yeah, right. Having watched the Tennessee Titans offense the last couple of years, I wasn't too impressed. How come no one else on the staff gets credit because the team had so many great players like Leinart, Bush, White, etc., but Chow is always a genius? Have fun tutoring Ben Olson (chuckle...what is he, like, 30?) and some other recruiting retread quarterbacking the joke across town. Let's see if those Vegas odds improve because of Chow's hiring...somehow, I don't see that happening. How does a guy go from being at the top of the head coaching list one day, getting fired from the NFL the next, and washing up as an OC under Rick Neuheisel, of all people. Ewwww.
With the strength of our two out of conferences (at Virginia and Ohio State), if we came out near the head of the pack I don't see how we could be overlooked for the title. UCLA does get Tennessee the next two years, so respect to them for that if they can pull it off. I wouldn't bet on that one.
