Many thanks for finding and posting this, NJD. 

 

For a lot of reasons, I feel really blessed to have reached another season of college football.  And for certain I'm ready for more football and less administrative intrigue.  And, oh yeah ....

 

GO DUCKS!!

LOL! ESPN Week Zero Game of the Week - New Mexico State vs. UMass. And the #6 team in the country is playing on the Pac-12 Network. How can anyone with a scintilla of business sense complain about USC and UCLA, Oregon and UW, for getting the heck out of here? 

 

It's not easy to repeat as a Heisman winner when no one can watch your games.

I have a feeling ESPN didn't want to "waste" one of their picks on a week zero game even with the #6 team in the nation.  Save a pick with more excitement around it.

It would be hilarious if USC does a faceplant in week 0 against SJSU.  Trojan's cocky arrogance has gotten them in trouble on more than a few occasions before in games.

That would be one heck of an upset. Troy is - 30.5. A much bigger spread than Troy had vs. Achilles and the Greeks. 

 

I have a modest bet down on the game going over 66 points (-110.) But in the words of Kurt Vonnegut, 'You never know.' I recall Stanford once upon a time covering a bigger spread than this in the Coliseum. 'What's your deal?'
