Rose BowlRose Bowl, Pasadena, Calif.
Penn State vs. USC
Date: Jan. 1
Time: 4:30 p.m.
TV: ABC
Line: USC -9
About Penn State: Joe Paterno is old. He’s still coaching. Blah, blah, blah. Whatever. Defensive coordinator Tom Bradley should have been named Big 10 coach of the year. He’s the actual coach of this team. Anyway, the Nits are decent. Not really weak in any one area. But I find them boring.
Intangibles:
Obsession with aging Italian man: -5
Mount Nittany: +3
College Station State College Park Town: -3
Driving to College Station State College Park Town: -6
About USC: The Trojans are annually the greatest team in the history of organized football that never play for the national championship cause they fuck it up against some crap-ass Pac-10 team. Then Pete Carroll goes into his annual sob routine about how it’s not fair. Tough crap, Petey. Anyway, they’re good – again. Defense especially. Probably not the offense they’ve had but they’ll do.
Intangibles:
Song Girls: +5
Compton campus: -3
That bleeping fight song: -4
Sideline celebrity parade: -2
Impact Player: Penn State QB Darryl Clark must play a decent game and try not to crap down his leg like most Big 10 Qbs have done against the Trojans.
Bowl slogan: “Enjoy the parade. It’s usually more competitive than the game.”
Little known fact: USC is cheating. Dammit, they have to be cheating, don’t they? Cause this is getting annoying.
Watchability (1-5): 4
The Pick: USC 27, Penn State 21

This game won't be close. The Trojans will roll.
Do you think JoPa will take a nap at halftime?
good call. too much wishful thinking on my part.
JoePa was snoozing in the first quarter.
I'm not sure how many teams have to do it before they realize you can't stick to straight zone against USC. WRs are too big and Sanchez' arm is too strong. They just light it up.
