About 9yrs ago I worked with a really cute, blonde marketing assistant who was a graduate of the University of South Carolina or, USC, as she and her husband whom she'd met there called it.
She was totally cool but from a small town in Indiana originally and had a funny story about her first summer home from college. Walking down to head out for the night wearing one of those shirts you get during your Freshman year like "Noter Dame Sucks" with a leprechaun depicted in a compromising position or even the ever-popular "Co-ed Naked Lacrosse," Ann's "GO COCKS!" t-shirt drew a shocked look and word of warning from her Mom ...
"Ann, honey. I don't think Anderson, Indiana is ready for that shirt."
The Cocks come into The Outback Bowl sporting a 10-2 overall record and a #10 ranking in the Polls. With Conference losses to two other superawesome SEC teams - LSU and Florida - the "experts" have no doubt whatsover which team will win the Outback Bowl and it ain't Michigan. En route to their 10-2 mark, USC beat the #5 Georgia Bulldawgs as well as #11 Climpson. The average line in Sin City has the Cocks favored by a touchdown at MICHIGAN +6.
But don't sleep on The University of Michigan Wolverines just yet, Las Vegas ...because we've heard this story before. Michigan is (24-10-1) all-time against SEC teams and (1-1) against the Cocks; a team Michigan hasn't faced since Reagan was in the White House. Over the past 10 Bowl games pitting the perma-hyped SEC against the University of Michigan, the slow and overmatched BigTen icon is a very un-Ohio* like against the SEC (7-3), with many of those wins coming as the underdog.
So post your predictions and some supportive analysis and what the hell ...how about some clever whoofing and barking about the opponent too!!
... It is, after all, the final game of the year.
