Wisconsin has a beautiful campus, especially when the weather is nice.
Here are some pictures.
This is a nice way of saying, it’s time to pick the game score. USC is a 3-point favorite.T
Nick Saban and Desmond Howard picked USC. Everyone else picked Wisconsin.

Men of Troy 27, Pesky Badgers 20.
Despite Mr. Skinny Jeans, the Trojans prevail against a Wisconsin team that struggled to score 7 against the gutties last week.

I thought we were going to lose to Penn State and win this one.
So, USC 23 – Wisconsin 24.

James, that would hurt. And it would almost certainly be the first loss over a three-game losing streak including OSU and Indiana, resulting in a 7-5 season with a loss to the gutties at the end. But with the $60 million plus buyout, I doubt even 7-5 would pull the trigger.

I fear your reasoning is 100% correct … but I like the mention of “trigger” a “$60 million plus buyout[.]” We have to have dreams!

Come on, 67. We can swing $12M a year over the next 5 years.
That’s a small fraction of the school’s annual budget.

Can’t see it happening? Something that isn’t even one quarter of a percent?
If we end up 7-5, it’ll happen.

Since all of us (almost all of us) are “dreaming” about a new ship being commissioned to replace this wreck … how about a tournament of ‘Dream’ songs (since USC won’t be ‘Coyote Ugly’ing themselves into the playoff)? I propose the following off the top of my head (limiting to word ‘dream’ being in title), but anyone else feel free to chime in: *Dreams (Fleetwood Mac); *Dreams I’m Never Gonna See (Molly Hatchet); *California Dreaming (Mamas & Poppas); *Running Down A Dream (Tom Petty); *Lost In A Dream (REO Speedwagon); *Dreams or This Dream Is Over (Van Halen); *Dream Weaver (Gerry Wright); *Daydream Believer (Monkees); *Dream No More (Metallica); *These Dreams (Heart); *Dream On (Aerosmith); *Sweet Dreams Are Made of These (Eurythmics); *Dreamer (Supertramp). Yes, I’m old!

Scott, great photos of a beautiful campus. I watched a little of the Stanford game last night, and it was sad to see how far the Cardinals have fallen. The stands did not even seem to be half full. USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington made the right choice by leaving the sinking Pac 12 ship. Enjoy today’s game, it is a key to this season. Fight on, Dan, Class of 1962

Don’t they have to buy out the assistants’ contracts too? That would probably make the buyout closer to $100M.

USC assistant football coaches’ contracts are typically year-to-year, with some staff members serving in roles like special teams coordinator or offensive coordinator under head coach Lincoln Riley.
DON: No problem getting rid of them. But will we if Riley Coyote runs the table? Or will he leave for the NFL?
