Ed Orgeron Opens Up Kicking Competition

USC coach Ed Orgeron said today he was going to open up the kicking competition following Andre Heidari’s struggles.

“We need to do something with the field goals,” Orgeron said. “We’re going to open up field-goal kicking competition. We’ll give somebody else a shot and see what happens in practice.”

USC’s other kickers are walk-ons Craig McMahon and Alex Wood.

    • Lt, Commander Galloway advised Lt, Kaffee “if you don’t have it, don’t go for it.” The same is true with your troll posts. When its not there, just parachute out and wait for a better moment.

      Friendly advise for you. You could be legendary as a troll (like ProbationU). But it’s about consistency.

      • Thanks for the props. No need to kick a kicker when he is down. Fragile egos. Besides, I like to leave the kids alone. Dakhtari will return.

        • Normally I would agree, but this has been two games now. O wants to be like Pete–and Pete was always about being willing to compete. I think this is a good idea to force the competition.

          • I meant that I wouldn’t kick the kicker. They’re just kids. Makes sense from O’s point of view. Poor kid has been struggling.

            I save my ire for John B and Joe Blow who likes to troll over to our Bruin site.

  1. let me give a shot I am 58 years old and run the 100 yard dash in under a day I gotta be better than what I was Saturday (and hang out on the sideline during the games all for a couple of jogs onto the field each game)

  2. Memo to Cadre: ok boys bring it in and take a knee! you guys were OUTSTANDING today!! i haven’t seen a beating like the trOXans took today since Drago vs Creed in Rocky IV!!!

    i want you all to say your prayers, eat your vitamins and everyone in bed by 10PM (except you Thai, i never know WHAT time zone you’re in).

    i want you guys taking it to these Dummies tomorrow with everything we GOT!!! i want you guys all over every post and leave no crotch unkicked!!! ok lets take it IN!!!!!

        • At some point you’ll understand the crotch-kicking metaphor. I have faith in you. (You called it figurative which is close but not exactly a metaphor. But even more importantly, you need to research the connotation of the crotch kick as metaphor. It means dirty and unfair attack–as any actual man would attest).

          If you are female, I will apologize. It would not be improper for a woman to use the metaphor as you do.

    • Guess you can’t READ. Just for you, I’ll post again:

      I herby declare Joe Blow as KING of the Cadre. All previous officers are hereby relieved of duty. Bow Down Dogs. I also declare the following new positions:
      Prince: TrojanFan
      Queen: Helen
      Bishop: Jethro
      Chef: ThaiBean (we love tacos)
      Toilet Bowl Cleaner: Bucket
      Bathroom Freshener: PU
      Valet: Yooduh
      @$$hole: Wolf & Azhole
      Meeting tonight.

      We held OUR CADRE meeting. You will be punished for your absence by polishing TF’s unit for the next week. No don’t pull your phony “cadre” bit again.
      I AM THE KING.

  3. For Eddie the Organ to throw Andre Heidari under the SUC bus is proof that SUC FB is rotten. What about the other SUC chump offensive players and coaches whose useless contributions were equal to or worse then Heidari’s miscues in the ND loss. The blame for the ND loss belongs squarely on the shoulders of Eddie the Organ and his staff.

    • Hey, you finally fixed the apostrophe. Did the finally get to that lesson in your English class?

      And what’s up with your phallically-driven nicknames? Showing your latent tendencies again? (That is the proper use of the adjective latent).

        • Oh Silly Stewie.

          Advise is a verb, meaning to give advice (a noun). I used advise as a verb…Calloway advised Kaffee….

          I did not offer you advise. I advised you not to go for it when you don’t have it.

          You might want to google your troll posts before posting them.

          • Why do you find it necessary to explain your illogical and obtuse comments that no sane individual would find creditable. I mean chump SUC FB makes more sense then your underwhelming squeals you post.

          • you said, and I quote “Friendly advise for you…” and then you edited it after I mocked you. Nice try though. Dopey troxan.

      • TScum, the human heart is an organ, so is the liver, the kidneys, etc. You sir, would find phallic references in a Buddhist or Zen Garden. You need to get laid. Who might be willing to accommodate you is a different story. You are a very tiresome child.

    • I bet you “found someone” on the men’s club soccer team. I hope Chet and Carlos treat you good.

  4. Number of the day: 30

    As in 30 athletes at Miami involved in NCAA violations.

    As in 3 lost scholarships and 0 bowl bans.

  5. I never thought Heidari was very good. Lets Go! GEt another kicker and Fight On!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  6. Dateline: Sept. 20, 2012

    LOS ANGELES — Alex Wood, USC’s walk-on replacement kicker, likes to say he’s in his range whenever he’s on the football field.

    And he might be right: He missed only two field goals in his senior season of high school in Washington, including a 51-yarder.
