Last time we met (I drove to California... what a long drive home), USC was a much better team (especially since Braylon couldn't have caught a cold that day). This time around, the story is different. It wouldn't be bad for a Big Ten team to run over the Pac-10's best and demonstrate our 2006 superiority.john (east lansing, mi)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03872457640564913468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1160930899325445242006-10-15T12:48:00.000-04:002006-10-15T12:48:00.000-04:00Dear Michigan Fans,Take a hint from Florida fans w...Dear Michigan Fans,<BR/><BR/>Take a hint from Florida fans who were griping about USC being #2.

That horse collar tackle right in front of the ref wasn't even called in the 4th quarter let alone leak's fumbled pass. If this were the NFl am I correct to assume it would fall under the tuck rule? I know it is sour grapes but after the last few UF/FSU games and now this one it makes a fan wonder what we did to offend the football gods to never seem to get a call to go our way. <BR/><BR/>Regardless the gators get penalized too much. If that holding in the end zone hadn't been called most likely the ensuing fg wouldn't have been made either and that would have been the game. I can only hope that we dont fall out of the top ten and pray rutgers runs the table and ND stomps on WVU. Maybe we could get back in the running then.<BR/><BR/>Got to give props to OSU and UM for keeping their eyes on the prize. However I think that neither of them will be able to stop WVU in the title game.The heroin sheikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16860402732123149415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1160887706403480212006-10-15T00:48:00.000-04:002006-10-15T00:48:00.000-04:00Calvin Johnson has a chance for a huge PR night ne...Calvin Johnson has a chance for a huge PR night next week against Clemson on ESPN.
