my guess is this game was sked for tuesday but once USC made the orange bowl - and pepperdine saw it was going to be played on the same day - they moved this game knowing NO ONE would show up to their game and they would get ZERO media attention for it - even though the orange bowl does not involve pepperdone.
SMART MOVE!
trust me on this one - 99% of all sports media coverage in the so cal are is on this game. the lakers play at around the same time as usc - a game in san antonio vs. the spurs. the ratings for that game will be about the same as if they put up a test pattern - you get the point.
sorry, i stand corrected.
i was going by my rotation schedule, didn't realize they changed it, i now see both cbssportline and yahoo have it
