Answer Tuesday!

Time to answer some more reader questions.

Q: I DIg Go Go Girls said:
Who do you see winning the Stanley Cup ?

A: The New York Rangers, of course, provided they get past the first round.

Q: FtheNCAA said:
Scott-many if not all the preseason polls have USC at 1 or 2. Most of the way too early bowl projections have USC playing in the BCS title game ad well. If USC performs well and makes it to the championship game or even wins it, how do you plan on taking credit away from Lane Kiffen and Matt Barkley? Will you expand on your usual “Barkley is throwing to Lee and Woods and they make him look good” line? Thanks.

A: It’s way too early to think about how to take away credit from anyone. But don’t forget the easier schedule than if you play in the SEC.
On the other hand, I could just say Lane Kiffin is a great coach and Matt Barkley the best QB in college football. That might make you happy, right?

Q: Aaron B said:
Hey Scott, I had a basketball related question. How did Renan Lenz and Renaldo Woolridge’s visits go, and which one do you think is most likely to come to SC, if either?

A: I think Kevin O’Neill is trying to figure out if he wants to add another big man before next season. Woolridge, who is transferring from Tennessee, will not be eligible. USC will have Dewayne Dedmon, James Blasczyk and Eric Wise are its top frontcourt players. Does it need someone else? I think Woolridge makes sense because Wise is a senior. But O’Neill might be thinking next year is his last year so he needs immediate help. But I’ve heard there is not a desperation to add another player.

  1. Yeah… Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Tennessee, and a bunch of DIV III OOC teams like Citadel, Louisiana-Lafayette, and Middle Tennessee State make for the TOUGHEST schedules in the nation!

    USC-Alabama
    Stanford-LSU
    Oregon-Florida

    Every conference is obviously top-heavy with a few successful programs but the SEC has managed to win the last few championships. I don’t think that makes Alabama playing in the SEC any tougher than Washington playing against Oregon, USC or Arizona State in the PAC week in and week out.

    Both conferences have strengths and weaknesses. The SEC’s is typically defense while the PAC’s is typically offense. It’s said that the Pac-12 and Big-12 plays no defense, but why doesn’t anyone talk about the QBs in the SEC? Can any of them throw 40 times a game?

    Whatever, USC will spank LSU (or whatever SEC powerhouse program makes it) in the championship this year. If not, USC will own the Rose Bowl yet again!

    Fight on

  2. Unfortunately, UCLA is in the Pac 12. Thaat doesn’t help the conference’s credibility any.

  3. You are right Jethro…and on top of that we finished AHEAD of Utah, ASU, Arizona & Colorado while the team with the best record…in the South..your 50-0 Toejams was ineligible for ….living in free housing…driving free cars..and having a former AD who was delusional in dragging everything out so the current kids who did nothing wrong are paying the price…

    And speak of dragging down the PAC-12…SC went 1-17 in the worst year the league has had in my memory…and that goes back over 40 years!

    So..you have your own issues to address.

  4. OMG, the trOXans are on the edge of a total psychotic break…

    owns: “SEC has managed to win the last few championships”??? my gawd they have won the last SIX in a row and 8 of the 9 BCS Champeeenship games they have played in!! man up and RECOGNIZE!!! (Southern Cal, with easily the best talent in the last 10 yrs can claim ZERO BCS Champeeeships)

    Jezro: can’t get your mind off UCLA, huh??

    50-0: you guys are worse than “13-9” with your lame “50-0” which of course was a totally meaningless game, UCLA had already won the Pac12 South and were conserving players for the Bowl game. to the contrary, 13-9 was a historically crushing loss to UCLA that knocked the Choking trOXans out of the Natl. Champeenship game!!

    RECOGNIZE!!!

  5. Conserving your players for the BOWL GAME that you LOST to Illinois?!?!?! ROFLMAOOOO they ended the season losing 6 in a row.. yet.. UCLA STILL managed to lose AND become the WORST bowl team at. 6-8 in NCAA HISTORY!

    Bahahahahhahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!

  6. This Bucket guy is like a nagging younger sister:

    1. I know you hate being called Southern Cal, so I will call you Southern Cal

    2. You did not win any BCS championships

    3. The “Pious” Passer Barkley will choke this year

    4. The ucla guys on this blog are the greatest

    5. Scott Wolf is the greatest

    6. I am the greatest

    Your only purpose here is to put down SC, and you have been doing that for, what, every week for 2 years now.
    Since you are not going to go away, at least come up with some new material

  7. Hahaha look at this freak trying to bite my style by copying my lingo. Get a personality of ur own charlie fuckhead.

    And stop trying to kiss ass to the SEC. it’s ur own fault ur a bruin guy and backin a loser. Southern Cal pounds the shit out of u every year…and Tide will pound the shit out of them.

    Love it, live with it, Bama #1

    Owns Rose Bowl…U can have ur multiple Heismans, cus who’s the king right now? who’s won 2 of the last 3 crystal balls? Accept it kid, BAMA’s on TOP

  8. Bama would get owned by USC. What do you have to argue against that statement? At least I can say USC has dominated SEC opponents in recent matchups.

    Bama lost the Sugar Bowl to Utah. USC is 6-1 in 7 consecutive BCS games. Has ‘Bama been to 7 consecutive BCS games? oops!

    Fight on.

  9. @probation.. Hey asshole, your on a fucking USC board moron! So pull your head out of your own ass and go back to a bRUIN board so that you don’t have anyone elses “issues” to worry about. What the hell is it that you pansy ass bRUIN cocksuckers get out of living on a Trojan sports blog? Are you and your pussy ass public school that fucking lame that you can’t deal at all? Just get the fuck gone..you all suck and you have destroyed this place.. So certainly glad that this ain’t the only football blog in town..
    So Fight On and you bRUINS can all eat me! Even that pervert suck my Rob!
    Oh and the bama boy… fuck you too you toothless friggin bakker spittin redneck cocksucker.. Go look up USC’s record vs the South East Cuntfrence, and then just stfu and go back to the land of grits, hushpuppies and cornpone!

  10. carlosb pretty much hit the nail on the head. Sadly, the bRuin trolls will only take pleasure in this and get all riled up then repeat everything they ALWAYS say. boring.

  11. Charlie Bucket didn’t realize he wasn’t logged in as his Roll Tide personality and tried to cover it up by insulting himself… wow.

  12. The SEC may be the toughest conference in college football but I really believe that on a neutral field USC would take any SEC team. Quarterback play being the difference.

    And from what I have seen Charlie Bucket probably does have a ton of handles on here but I guarantee you “Roll Tide” is not one of them. You can tell the guy is for sure from the south. I have friends in that area who talk similar, use similar words. Plus, the guy rips into UCLA just as much as he does USC

  13. carlosb….tisk tisk tisk….Your last comments…are pretty bold and way out of line. You must make your SUCks brothers proud (well, “OWN’s, the QUEER ONE”, anyway)? Are you the second coming of NUBSIE? If so…I guess you didn’t learn much in your previous life.
    Fit on Torgan &
    Adios carlosb!

  14. What happened to carlosb????? BOOM, Roasted! Just like that!
    Yoda and his Sabre, couldn’t have finished off that fool any quicker!
    Beware, The Cadre is Everywhere!
    Fit on Torgan!
    FIT ON!

  15. nice work, ThaiMan!! your vigilance paid off yet AGAIN!! add Carlos B to the list of BANNED trOXans!!!

    wow!! first the team if BOWL BANNED for years, and now their Nattering fans are BLOG BANNED by the bushel-full!! lets list them:
    NUBS
    MONO
    Jethro I
    Freethinker
    WEB Dupree
    Carlos b.

    oh man, i KNOW i am missing a couple….HAWR-HAWR!!!

    the CADRE RULES!!!

  16. Woolridge is eligible right away and does not need to sit out. He’s a grad student.

  17. No, I’m still around. I just haven’t been posting as much lately.

    There is no joie de vivre in the comments on this blog anymore. Aside from that guy who is pretending to be an Alabama fan, the trolls around here are just going through the motions, like the quality control supervisor at a Soviet tractor factory circa 1989.

  18. Son of Bucket,

    Allow me help you out. The most obvious omission from your list is your own father. Duh!

    JGS

  19. carlosb….consider yourself warned. The Classy Cadre will not tolerate your gross, vile posting. Nubsie was sent off to NEVER NEVER land for his REPEATED Gross violations.
    We at The Cadre are mere mortals and therefore I ask this question ,…”Who among us has not erred….to err is human,(yes….some of the things i’ve seen Preferred Plus Gals subjected to during those $10 Value Parties…are…DISGUSTING!) to forgive, divine”.
    Grow On, Learn On, and ALWAYS,…..FIT ON TORGAN!

  20. ThaiMaxiPad: how geeky can you get? Emailing someone to tattle about naughty language? LOL. What a pansy.

  21. Where is your Proof? How dare you accuse me of such nonsense. You Have no proof…your charges are just gossip and baseless(speaking of BASELESS…Why is CKO coming back for another Year?). Chucker is right! All of you..(yea…you know who you are) are Charlatans! I laugh in your faces (hahahahahahahahahahaha!) because of your sillyness. You are JEALOUS because you have heard that I can Lick my elbow!
    And on this week being the 20 year “anniversary” of The Rodney King incident, I ask…
    “why can’t we JUST GET ALONG?”…..
    Why continue to FIT ON Torgan?

  22. WEB i am shocked at your accusation the Cadre is “mailing it in”….not true!!

    ThaiMex contributes from a variety of exotic time zones…that alone should get props, let alone his keen insights!!

    as for me, i try to make every post my masterpiece!! i realize that the Cadre doesn’t represent only UCLA alums anymore. last season when we set up a Classy Cadre table at the Sports Arena, lots of kids came up to us and raved about joining the Cadre when they grew up!!

    so this year, we will be unveiling the Lil’ Cadre, a UCLA enthusiast club for kids!!!

  23. Son of Charlie is full of it. Everyone knows that the “Cadre” isn’t allowed within 50 feet of anyone under the age of 18.

  24. the Lil’ Cadre’s first order of business is to take a field trip to Southern Cal!! we will take a Sanctions Tour of the campus, including stops at the parking lot where Mr. Reggie parked his ill-gotten cars, and they will get to ride in the Dion Bailey golf cart, and then a Tim Floyd look-alike will hand them all envelopes stuffed with fake cash!!!

    to end the day, the Lil’ Cadre will play the Southern Cal Varsity Basketball team in a pick up game!!! i know who i’m betting on!!! HAWR-HAWR!!!

    we tried to line up the Pious Passer to talk to the kids, but we never heard back from him…he’s probably saving a kitten from up in a tree somewhere…we all saw how he left Kiff crying in the rain in Costa Mesa!!!

  25. “The Lil’ Cadre” — now that is more like it, though I might have preferred “The Cadre Youth”.
