Bowl season has brought out the skeptics apparently. I've gotten e-mails saying I'm snubbing the Trojans and others saying I'm snubbing the Longhorns and one other saying I'm a UCLA homer (yeah because I never write much about USC.) So with that, I will share some of the responses.
From Dennis in Tallahassee, Fla.: I have to disagree with you about the '02 OSU team beating USC. OSU, no matter how badly they whipped UM's offensive line in the championship game, needed a bogus penalty (this coming from a 'Nole ... so you know I have no love for Miami) when the fireworks were going off, in order to keep that game going. Otherwise, they wouldn't have even beaten that '02 Miami team. Love your column, though!
Thanks Dennis, but that's just it. Those Buckeyes found a way to win.
