Bring the Rose Bowl matchip to Ann Arbor, MI yesterday and the game is completely different
You got it, that's the shorthand version of what I'm saying.

USC beat Michigan like a redheaded stepchild. If it were even close at the end, I could see your point but with 7 minutes to go it was 32-11. Henne was sacked six times in the first half alone.
Why are there always these endless excuses for the big blue? "if that game were in ann arbor instead of columbus, michigan would be playing for the title". "if that game were in ann arbor, MI yesterday, the game is completely different".
Same old song and dance every year for their blind fans.
Listen, Ive been watching Michigan choke for the last 25 years. Lloyd Carr got completely outcoached and their defensive backfield got completely schooled. The difference in overall team speed was ridiculous.
They could play that game ANYWHERE and Michigan still loses as they do almost EVERY TIME they play USC. Is that 6 out of the last 7 now?
This game wasnt close and the game against OSU wasnt nearly as close as the score made it appear.
Michigan had a good year. They will be tough next year. But to say that they are better than SC? That is a complete joke.
