    The game still means something to people who attended the schools. To this day, I do not even own a piece of red clothing. Go Bruins!

    First I need to say I could care less about either team. A pox on both their houses

    1. I expect a lot of dirty play and late hits, as both teams have displayed poor sportsmanship in other games they played, and with the rivalry on the line, this will ratchet up to new levels.
    2. The 2 1/2 point spread looks suspect at best, USC and give up a field goal is a lock

    The 2 1/2 point spread on the game is crazy.
