Jim Rome just said that LSU is more deserving that USC to go to the Sugar Bowl and followed that up by saying that USC is the better team. Then he said that LSU would lose to Georgia. He also denied that West Coast bias was the reason for what he said. Just what in the hell makes USC the "better team?"
Jim Rome is a complete a$$.......Why would anyone watch him or even care what he says on the radio. How did this guy get that job?
I actually like Rome. I've listened to him for a long time. Long before he went national. But the thing is, he is a west coast "honk" as he likes to call it. He has been defending against that charge for a few weeks and even before the charge is made. He went to UC Santa Barbara. I wouldn't say that he is in love with USC or UCLA. I didn't see the show tonight. Thought about flipping it on. I'll look for a replay, but I think that Rome can't really make the call. That's saying something for a west coast "honk." Most west coast "honks" just degrade LSU and presuppose that USC is the better team without knowing the first thing about LSU. I'll let you in on a little secret that you guys probably aren't hearing about. The folks on the west coast who watched LSU rip Ark. last Saturday were shocked, surprised, and impressed. Believe me, I have been hearing it all week. And yes, I am out here on the left coast. I guarantee you that if USC beats Ore. State, much of USC nation will be tuned into the SECCG. If USC loses, the west coast "honks" will go back to what they know best....jumping off of the bandwagon. These guys are scared that LSU might leapfrog them in the BCS. If they were secure that we wouldn't, they wouldn't watch the SECCG.
Rome and Lemming are BIG BLOWBUDDIES ... KUDOS to overrated and overhyped California girls ... look at Lemmings lastest racial GEM about Moo U's new black coach on the ESPN page ... he's already got Moo U playing for an SEC Championship and hauling in all the great black athletes throughout the SOUTH. oooooooooooooooooooo, ooooooooooooooo that smell ..........

Re: Re: Tigers more deserving - USC the better team Um... I just look through those stats, I see NO WHERE that USC has a great edge, yet in EVERY defensive category, LSU has a big edge over USC. Where does this USC 25, LSU 23 come from again??
Re: Re: Re: Tigers more deserving - USC the better team Click the link at the bottom of the page. But it won't matter after Saturday night anyway. Ramah has brought on a CURSE against LSU.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Tigers more deserving - USC the better team I think the entire national media has brought the curse against Georgia and USC, so we have a difference in opinion there.
Oh, I thought that was a score prediction. That's all fine and good, but what doesn't show is the categories that USC wins, it's by a not very wide margin, and the categories LSU wins, it's by a wide margin.
