Just Wondering
Do referees have less incentive to give USC calls in Pac-10 games since the Trojans have nothing at stake this season?
Ambles Update
Wide receiver Markeith Ambles visited Tennessee this weekend but we hear he is still likely to sign with USC.
Irish Trio
I think Notre Dame made a shrewd move hiring Brian Kelly. But I’m not sure stealing recruits from Toledo and Cincinnati made this something to celebrate.
Chat Warning
OK, I’m open to suggestions here for the best times to hold a chat.
Manager Update
USC coach Kevin O’Neill confirmed today that student manager Stan Holt was fired after receiving a technical foul against Oregon. Holt received the technical with USC trailing 49-47 with 4:35 left.
“He definitely is no longer with us,” O’Neill said.
More Parade
Here’s the magazine’s top 50 All-Americans for all-time.
Parade All-Americans
Running back Dillon Baxter, wide receivers Robert Woods and Kyle Prater, tight end Xavier Grimble and defensive end George Uko were the USC commits named to Parade magazine’s All-American team.
Offensive lineman Seantrel Henderson and linebacker Hayes Pullard, who are getting recruited by USC, also made the team.
Morning Buzz
Despite getting swept in Oregon, I’m still impressed with Kevin O’Neill. And I like the way he took accountability for the manager’s technical foul yesterday. I’ve championed O’Neill since the day he got hired. By the way, did I say something similar two weeks ago regarding another hire . . .
Oregon Fallout
This report from Eugene quotes Kevin O’Neill saying he fired a graduate manager for getting a technical foul in today’s game.
“”That’s on me, and that will be rectified – it already has been – he’s gone,” O’Neill said.
