Re: USC/Texas opinions
[ QUOTE ]
Home field I do not concede
LA fans are wussy
Texas fans are not
Texas played in that same Rose Bowl last year and left with good feelings and are used to getting ready for the game
Though it wasn't the title game, it was very important for the Longhorns

This does not just have to do with fans. It has to do with how one prepares for a game, where they practice, where they sleep, etc. There is a ton going on for these players this week.
USC, fortunately, gets to go through all the hype, the media, the preparation, the practices at home, in their own backyard. They are going through the motions that are familiar to them, 6 times this year and 6 the year before. As good as these athletes are, they are still college athletes, not quite professionals. If you don't think this is at least a .5-1pt advantage for USC I honestly think you're deluding yourself.
edited to add: they have not lost at home in 4 years btw.
