The Wall Street Journal gives USC a 53-percent chance to win today's game against California based on the average of 10,000 game simulations and rounded to one decimal point.

i wonder if the simulation factors in Caesar's stubborn arrogance? or the fact McFumble eats buttered popcorn for his pre-game meal? or the voodoo whammy CallGirl put on Southern Cal? simulate that, and you get Cal winning 27-24.

One thing the simulation did not factor in was how an opinion from ugly Charlie Pussface has as much weight as throwing a pea in the ocean. Bruins generally suck, but this ugly man doesn't even rise to that level.
53:47 means if these teams played 100 games Cal would win 47. I don't like those odds. But it is strange it would be so mathematically close when the intangibles favor SC such as having beaten Cal 5 straight years, meaning none of the Bear kids has ever beaten an SC team: Advantage SC
Second, I would rather have my team coming off a win with some momentum than a loss: Advantage SC
Third, SC is tough against the run and that would seem to be Cal's best chance of victory: Advantage SC
Still, the offenses are works in progress so I see a defensive struggle at 20-10 SC.

BE REAL: mixed metaphors notwithstanding, my trained ear is hearing a lot of jealousy and shame in your words...an impotent little Ugh-a-Mug lashing out!
i do believe your INTENTION is to show anger, however inasmuch as you lack any actual basis for anger towards me, your rants seem to more accurately betray jealousy with respect to my razor wit and easy charm.
as an intellectual, i can't help but to feel sympathy for you, but i can't help you unless i know more...in what manner were you abused?
