USC 30 For 30 Movie Set

Posted on by

ESPN announced it will air its 30 for 30 film on the Pete Carroll era at USC on Oct. 13. The film is called “Trojan War” and I’ve included the description after the jump:

“When Pete Carroll took over the football program at USC after the 2000 season, the once-great Trojans were under siege.  But thanks to his football knowledge, upbeat personality and recruiting skills, Southern Cal was soon back atop the college football world as home attendance skyrocketed, Carson Palmer, Matt Leinart and Reggie Bush won Heismans and the Trojans put together a 34-game winning streak.  As it would be later discovered, though, the program was committing sins that would result in lost scholarships, victories and one of those Heismans.  But those revelations didn’t come until after the national championship game in the 2006 Rose Bowl between USC and the University of Texas.  Featuring interviews with Carroll, Leinart and others inside the USC program at the time, “Trojan War” looks at Carroll’s nine-year USC reign through the prism of that game, considered one of the greatest in college football history.  It was also the beginning of the end.”

  3. Alternative to your alternative – UCLA has never been relevant in football – film at 11
    – No homefield
    – Practices on an 80 yard field.
    – Only won like 5-6 rosebowls
    – Last time they won .5 National Championship men wore suits to games.

      • The Rose Bowl argument has been moot since 1998 when Tom Hansen gave away The Grandaddy of Them All to the BCS for thirty pieces of silver.

        • USC played in the Rose Bowl more than any team during the BCS era. More than the “home team Bruins”.

          • The little gutties only rent the Rose Bowl and aren’t allowed on the field in January, when the big boys play. I think USC has won 24 RBs (in 32 appearances) and the little gutties 5. It’s so lopsided it seems made up but it’s true. little gutties aren’t allowed in their rented stadium in Jan. USC goes through periods where the Trojans go so often, our fans get tired of it. It’s just routine, while the bruins are just dying to get in, ever.

          • It’s one thing to have the bragging rights of a 3 game winning streak. That doesn’t bother me. It’s the undeserving arrogance they walk and talk with. The history and last 3 years of their program hasn’t earned them that respect or cockiness.

          • Right sas, the Klownster’s are a humble bunch. They’re still gloating over wins in the 1930’s. BFD

            What counts sas are the last 5 games: UCLA 3 and Klown U 2. Them’s the facts.

            BTW sas, please remind Stinky that Klown U leases the crumbling mausoleum.

          • Ummmm. Besides beating USC three in a row. Please tell me what UCLA has done in the world of College Football?

          • Where does it say Klown U owns the crumbling mausoleum?

            Klown U leases the CM from LA county and the State of Ca. Imagine, leasing a garbage dump for a FB stadium.

          • Same song, 5000th verse – no unlike the Klown U school song – 99 bottles of beer on the wall.

          • Second place to who.

            sas you need to get your white bucks cleaned and a new pink carnation.

          • Well since you asked.

            SECOND PLACE TO USC……..and I can can name about 30 programs that have accomplished more than you. At least.

          • The Rose Bowl hasn’t mattered since the BCS began, don’t you get it? Tom Hansen threw it away and turned it into the Poulon Weedeater Bowl. That why Trojans shouldn’t use it as an argument to bash the ruins. There are much better arguments to be made against them.

          • Your wrong about that for one reason. Every year we were in the Rose Bowl we were the Champion of the conference and every year we played the actual Champion of the Big 10. Except for our Title game appearances and opponents. Who else are we supposed to play? It’s the Rose Bowl.

          • Originally the Rose Bowl was our goal. But the Rose Bowl no longer features the champion of the Pac 12 and Big10. If either the Pac 12 or Big 12 team achieves it went to the BCS or now to the 4 team playoffs. So since 1997 the Rose Bowl has become a consolation prize when SC fails to make the championship game. Going there now means we failed. See the diifference? Instead of bragging about how many times USC failed to make the championships, SC fans should argue instead about how USC has mattered while the ruins have been mediocre at best the last 2 decades.

      • When was the last time you hug that banner. And that was only the second that wasn’t tainted by the the money launderer Sam Gilbert’s money. Bill Walton can tell you all about it. Cash, cars, abortions, all so sordid.Tainted Dynasty.

  5. Wow Scottie! This is going to be the pinnacle of your life. Are you actually in this film or not. We know Papadakis will be. The question is, when this premiers, what will Scottie for an encore? Or will this be the beginning of the end for him as well?

  6. You knew this was coming,
    CB, have you started casting this epic?
    Awkward since Reggie has a restraining order and can’t be on campus but I’m sure Mike Tyson can work that into his schedule.
    Easy call Pete’s trusty sidekicks: Jim Carrey as Steve Sarkisian and Jeff Daniels would be a perfect Lane Kiffin.
    Of course, we will need at least three Kardashians.
    Perhaps Kate Upton as the sexy yet naive freshman football intern/assistant.
    Can’t wait to see who plays St. Pat. (Is Jim Backus alive?)
    I’m sure they wouldn’t have announced this before they signed Wolf (who can only be played by Wolf),

    This is actually GENIUS by the SoCal football propaganda team.

    Replays are the only way to stay in the limelight in LA.

  7. Wait a minute, this just in.
    The 30 for 30 will be written directed by a SoCal. Film school professor on the SoCal payroll.
    I smell a Puff piece coming.
    I wouldn’t be surprised if they did a little product placement of Petesy’s book. Winning forever (unless you pass on the 1 yard line with the best running back on the planet on your team).
