JONAH!

Hugh Hewitt is a jinx. You don't want him rooting for you, if tonight's Orange Bowl is any indication (USC-55, Oklahoma-12 at this time). He's been badmouthing USC all year on his radio show to the point of getting annoying.

I was rooting for the Trojans because Norm Chow is the former offensive coordinator from BYU, who should have been made head coach to replace LaVell Edwards. He's now getting the national recognition he deserves, and BYU may be under a curse like the one the Boston Red Sox labored under for so long. I've always thought that BYU had done amazing things considering the disadvantages it has in recruiting. But its fans have gotten spoiled and demanding, and forgotten how good they had it to have a winning combination like Edwards and Chow for so long. The University of Utah has had to learn the same lesson, as their coach, Urban Meyer, jumped to Florida after his outstanding success during the past two years here. Mountain West Conference schools just can't offer salaries like those in other parts of the country with larger populations. Utah was undefeated, along with Auburn and USC, this year. They're all champs. Who cares what the BCS says?
