  1. Go 4-0 in September, we’ll be #1 or #2. Go 1-3 in September, we’re out of the Top 25. Nice thing about playing a non-Gator type schedule….full control of your own destiny.

  2. UH-OH!! Spaghetti-O!!!

    Alabammy es El Numero UNO, wolfman!!!

    and Kiff is like Forrest Whittaker in Fast Times…..TREMBLING with rage and looking for PAYBACK!!!!

    My Prediction?? Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaain!!

    • Your last prediction was that Myles Jack was the #1 pick in the NFL draft – how did that work out?

      If Laremy Tunsil lost $13 million when he dropped from #3 to #13 in the NFL draft – it is estimated Myles Jack lost over $20 million when he fell down to #36. Sounds like he should have stayed in school one more year.

      • I never predicted anything…all I ever did was he was very high on many. Draft boards, which was absolutely correct.

        • That must mean you actually have a TV, since every male on the planet over age 7 knew MJ was rated high. Typical Crotch Boy Troll info. Worthless.

          USC owns L.A. Just another reason for you Trolls to be here.

          • #UCLA owned the draft lol…

            Hey at least you can brag how #ClownU 1 upped #WKentucky in the draft

          • USC still has 47 more players drafted than the little gutties since just 2000. Baby steps, huh. It’s so easy to brag, brag, brag when doormat ucla is lying on its back as usual.

            The announcers said it looked like ucla actually just gave up in the 9-0 baseball slaughter last night. That was exactly how your football and basketball teams looked as well. Poor little gutties. Cry, Cry, Cry!

          • Well at least you didn’t go back to 1967 like the other rah rahs.. .don’t you still owe me $100 Bleauz

            #Lol

          • You were our doormat in ’67 and you’re SC’s doormat now. 40-21. It was so easy. Just like the Crosstown Cup. ucla – the gift that just keeps giving. Hah, hah, hah.

        • He had selfish written all over his face the day he declared for the draft without even considering for 1 split second about coming back with the chance at playing in the Pac 12 title game or bowl game. Admit it.

        • Can we look through his 10,000 posts to see exactly what he said…?

          #WhataPatheticLife

        • You sure did flip flopper.. #1 and a top 10.. Lol.. Go flip some burgers! #dimwittedfool

      • Your last prediction was that Bryce Dixon was returning to the team last August, Hillary. Why don’t you let the fuuclans bury themselves in predictions they can’t keep?

    • Josh Rosen is patiently waiting for November 19. Savor your one in a row, Southern Cal.

  3. Wolf forgot to mention that UW was ranked 11th ahead of Stanford and ucla. The ‘ruins are way over rated after losing some good under class-men to the draft besides seniors. Trojan schedule is brutal from game one ( Tide ) to game 12 ( ND ). Pre-season rankings don’t even come close at the end of the year in reality.

  4. Finally, a publication that knows what they’re talking about, because there’s no reason USC should be ranked higher then 23 . So if the Trojans are good as fan boys keep screaming about, then they will improve their ranking dramatically within 5 weeks. It’s put up or shut up time, because the athletic administration, along with Pat Haden were boasting about the recruiting classes Steve Sarkisian signed.

    • I would not be upset or concerned if they were not ranked at all. USC is clearly in the show me stage of development. I am a fan, but I also live in the real world. I am optimistic, but I am not going to say they are back–until they prove it.

    • Hey big mouth. Are you aware that Bruin commit DE Hunter Echols is about to decommit and switch to SC?

          • Helen your back, so what new tricks did you learn at the park, haven’t heard from you since #UCLA had 8, VIII, eight, ocho players drafted and 2 before #BabyLB Sua!

            #8Clap

    • My sources say he is following the Myles Jack recipe and faking an injury so he can prepare for the NFL draft in 2017. I also heard Jones has signed Jack as his agent to negotiate his big deal.

      • If only Matty “little hands” Barfly could’ve done the same.. .

        #OOohh

      • Not happening since Lloyd’s of London already has placed insurance on Jones with USC as listed as his University. .. stirring the little guttie shiot as usual.. So I wonder who he will proclaim as his team once sanctions hit the Ucla program.

    • Sources? Nothing. Even hit up my high school classmate who’s on the SC staff. Nothing.
      But in Bruin news……….Rahyme Johnson has decommitted from UGLY!

      #KABOOM IN YA FACE

      • I hear 2 possible destinations but i’m not at liberty to say, RJ.. i’m not worried about the LB position lol.. .

        #voidNLI

      • It’s BS..since 3 decoms and sanctions are about to hit Ucla… Sucks ..but deserving!

  5. The Good News: it does not matter one bit what Athlon rates us four months before the season starts. Or what Vegas sys the odds are. The Bad News: their ratings might be too high and odds too low.
