re: USC's Bowl Projections

Meaning that the Outback excpected Mizzou to lose and us go to Atlanta for the SECCG, or that they expect us to fall to the Peach Bowl?

I just took it as they love us ... they appreciate us ... they like getting drunk with us ... but they didn't think we would travel back down to Tampa for another year considering the economy and the fact that we've seen everything there is to see down there and it would make it four outta the last six years.

But I honestly believe Spurrier doesn't want us back down there this year as well. There is such a thing as over exposure in a recruiting area ... and it could be used against us much like he used "you can't spell Citrus without UT" against the Vols.

Instead, Spurrier wants us in Atlanta, to finally get a win in Atlanta, another first, and for future experience ... to get the lid off the basket so-to-speak.

Our first ever bowl loss was in the '69 Peach Bowl to Bobby Bowden and WVA (with Jim Carlen as his OC), and we've never won there since. We need to get that monkey off our backs.

Spurrier is looking at it from that perspective IMHO.
