ESPN: Maisel's 3-Point Stance: Stanford Stadium - USC's Byers Out

2. Stanford has announced an $85 million project to renovate its stadium, site of Super Bowl XIX. The project will slim it from 85,800 seats to 50,858 — yes, the fans will now be in same ZIP code as the game they're watching — and bring the plumbing out of the 1930s. Campus politics is what took so long.

3. USC guard Jeff Byers is out for the year because his surgically repaired hip didn't repair. That's three starters and half the coaching staff that the Trojans have lost since the end of last season. And no, I don't have the guts not to pick them No. 1. But I'm now thinking about it.
