Subject: A USC fan said after the final in Athens, we might win the next 10, personally

I'd love to start with one. :)

Based on our lineup and assuming Frank comes back in to form, I like
our chances this year as much as any in recent memory, but injuries
and late Jan admits are always a wildcard. Some of my positivity has
to do with USC looking a little weaker this year without an automatic
at #1. That said no one was particularly worried about USC in 2009,
so there could be another top 5-8 team out there (UCLA, Duke, OSU)
lurking and waiting to get hot at the end of the year. Surely, it
won't be easy and I think they'll likely be some 4-3 match along the
way we need to win to take our first outdoor title.

                  Dubs do help, but we won the dubs point vs USC in finals last year.   --  breen   Thu Jan 24 2013 8:47:57 AM
                     You make an interesting point re dubs  --  2CentsWorth   Thu Jan 24 2013 11:23:51 AM
                     Dubs point will be a lot more valuable this year without an automatic like SJ  --  PTWahoo14   Thu Jan 24 2013 10:49:12 AM
                        There could be another Elite #1 out there like Somdev or Stevie  --  Hoosbro   Thu Jan 24 2013 4:32:53 PM
