Ugly uniforms
Get used too seeing those ugly uniforms. The burnt orange will be in the national championship next year, mark my words!
As for you Sooner fans out there, I hope your team crashes and burns tonight, I wish nothing but all things bad for OU. I hate their gutz!
Now please excuse me, for I have to go put some water in Tigerbait's mommas dish.
Thank You, and GL to all!

[/font]<HR style="COLOR: #000080" SIZE=1>[font=Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif]Tonight is FREAK's 2004 Bowl game of the year, the one game that I have been waiting for all bowl season.
This by far will be my biggest bet of the college season, regular or bowl.
The public, the pundits, the experts all love Oklahoma as the line has gone from USC-3 to OK -1.5 and likely a smidgen higher by game time.
The reasoning appears logical. The Heisman winner might see the bowl game as an anticlimax to a successful season, a time to relax and savor the fruits of his labor. The opposing team comes in hungrier, fired up, eager to knock Mr. Heisman off his perch.
As a bonus, recreational gamblers -- known affectionately as "squares" in Las Vegas betting parlors -- tend to bet on the highly hyped Heisman winner's team, creating value for sharper gamblers on the other side.
"While there are some notable exceptions to the rule, the team with the Heisman Trophy winner fails to cover the point spread more often than not.
Lang popularized the angle back when he was producing the "Stardust Sports Registry" tip sheet.
In an issue of that late, lamented publication dated Dec. 1-24, 1990, Lang recounted his research on how Heisman winners performed in their bowl game from 1938 through the 1988 season.
Much of that period predated the widespread availability of point spreads. (While there has always been gambling on football, in the early days it was predominantly based on the money line. Instead of a 14-point underdog, for instance, a team would be listed as a 7-1 underdog to win outright.)
But one nugget convinced Lang he was following the right track. In 11 New Year's Day bowl games with verifiable point spreads, Lang found, the team with the Heisman winner was 1-9-1 against the spread.
"Heisman winners tend to play poorly in their bowl game," Lang said. "The angle is really strong, even though the exceptions stand out."
Among the memorable showings by Heisman winners in big bowl games, Lang pointed out Charles White's 247-yard performance for USC in the Rose Bowl following the 1979 season and Tony Dorsett's 202 yards for Pitt in the Sugar Bowl following the 1976 season.
Since Lang published his findings, the angle has more than held its own.
In 14 bowl games since 1990, the team with the Heisman Trophy winner has a record of 4-10 against the point spread.
And in the past five seasons, the team with the Heisman winner is 1-4 against the spread in its bowl game.
The exception came in the Orange Bowl that followed the 2002 season. USC quarterback and Heisman winner Carson Palmer was named the game's Most Valuable Player after leading the Trojans, who were favored by 4 1/2 points, to a 38-17 victory against Iowa and Heisman runner-up Brad Banks.
That was one of four bowl games since 1990 in which the Heisman winner squared off against either the runner-up or the third-place finisher in the voting for the award.
In those four games, the team with the Heisman "bridesmaid" is 3-1 against the spread, with Palmer again the lone exception. It's a small sample of games, but again, the reasoning makes sense -- the guy who didn't win has extra motivation.
Which brings us around to Tuesday's clash between USC and Oklahoma for the Bowl Championship Series title.
The Trojans are led by this year's Heisman winner, quarterback Matt Leinart.
Season Heisman winner, team Bowl result ATS
2003 Jason White, Oklahoma lost to LSU L
2002 Carson Palmer, USC beat Iowa W
2001 Eric Crouch, Nebraska lost to Miami L

FREAK believes they are wrong. People are buying into this wacky yet prudent trend that the Heismann winners team loses the bowl game they play in.
USC is the better team, and was rightfully made the favorite.
FREAK says USC as his NCAA Game and Bowl Game of the year.
If you can get + $$ on the ML take it, instead of the 1 or 2 points, the points will not come into play at all.
Good luck and see you at the cashiers cage after the game.
