USC-Cal a little different than expected…
2007-11-10 15:17:00
Those of us who follow college football know about USC and their role as being the big bully–let’s just say the word “dynasty” has come up quite a bit during Pete Caroll’s tenure. Coming into the season, they were again put at the top of the heap–but this year there was that little smirk of “are you sure?” on fans’ faces (along with lots of ridiculous body paint).
