A Concern For USC Fans

Posted on February 25, 2015 by Scott Wolf

The deadline for USC season-ticket renewals is Saturday. And we now know that cupcake opponents are guaranteed but a quality nonconference opponent is not for the season-ticket holder.

Today’s announcement of future home games with Western Michigan, Utah State and UNLV highlights the issue. The Alabama game in 2016 is a neutral-site game. That leaves Notre Dame, where you likely get your seat moved and then a team like Texas in 2017, which may or may not be a good team. So you are assured a lousy team and then you need to hope either Notre Dame or Texas/BYU are having a good season when they come to the Coliseum.

So are you telling us not to renew our season tickets?…. we don’t deserve the opportunity to participate in the College Football Playoffs?….Why don’t just abandon playing football all together, Scott?

      The annual crosstown rivalry game is ALWAYS the highlight of their season…….

        Too bad it hasn’t been a highlight for us the last three years.

      1967, but we know how that turned out for them. The Melsby fumble denied them the BCS title game in 1998.

        Melsby’s knee was DOWN!! With instant replay, we could have watched our weak Bruin D make to the 1st BCS Championship game…and then go down.

        Yes. Wisconsin, Barry Alvarez and Ron Dayne own Ucla

        Twelve minutes to go, Klown U up 12 points chokes at the beautiful Rose Bowl and snatches defeat from the jaws of victory. Vince Young crossed the goal line untouched. SUCC choka, choka, choka.

        2014. Bruins beat SC. 6 days later Stanford puts the smack down on the Bruins. Yay!

        Hey SUCCster’s, who can forget Little Petey Chipmunk, at the Mausoleum, a 23 – 21 choke loser to the 41 point dog Stanford team.
        
        Or even better, SUCC needs to beat Dorrell’s UCLA team to advance to the BCS game and Little Petey Chipmunk chokes 13 – 9.

  Obama would envy your straw man argument, Garry Bleauz.
sas on February 25, 2015 at 12:08 pm said:

Yes Wolf. I agree with you on why would we schedule Western Michigan and UNLV. USC should NEVER play those teams. But there is no downside in playing Notre Dame, Alabama, or Texas. Those are opponents every school would line up to play. Yet again. You have to find some way to trash SC. What opponents suit your needs. What’s good enough for you? Green Bay, Seattle, New England? I guess the Pac 12 schedule with a Notre Dame, or Bama just doesn’t do it for ya.
- 8 Krap on February 25, 2015 at 12:25 pm said:
  
  And how do we even know which teams USC approached, but got rejected?….. it takes two to tango…..

    Yep, I think Tennessee turned us down.

      Then why doesn’t Scott criticize THEM?……because it’s easier for him to twist the readers perspective on things and continue his agenda of slamming USC every chance he gets……

        Wolf and Petros should work for Ucla or Notre Dame. Even Kirk Herbstreit can be a non homer and respect his school.

  Explain the Boston Massacre and ND had no QB last year so SUCC’s feeble ND win is no BFD.
  
  SUCCster’s, when was the last time a SUCC vs Alabama game took place. SUCC plays Alabama one time in 2016 (can’t wait to see who starts a QB) – once again no BFD.
  
  Hey Skyline Jr. College up north wants to do a Home and Home SUCC series. Why should SUCC schedule competition when they can charge large $$$ for Jr. College slaughters in the Mausoleum. SUCC FB circles the drain.

    UCLA fans shouldn’t criticize the Trojans’ scheduling uncompetitive teams.
    
    After all, the Bruins are guilty of the same thing — they play USC every year.

Every NCAA football power schedules a cupcake or two, so let’s not come down on USC for that.
Sandy Underpants on February 26, 2015 at 8:58 pm said:

A season ticket holder doesn’t care about who their team plays. Oh NVM. Since I’m a super genius who is far too busy to go to football games, when the rare opportunity of USC playing somebody who isn’t a complete hunk of garbage occurs, I make a point to get to the trees near the coliseum where everyone slangs their unwanted extra tickets from their passed out drunk friend for like 30% of face value, and then I get in their friends seat just after the awful Star Spangled banner and just before kick off. But again, I’m a super genius, unlike peons that foolishly commit to entire season of football games before they even know whether or not the earth will fall into the sun before the end of August. Goodness my.
