Faster Format Salute To Troy

I said Friday I could not believe the Salute to Troy was over by 8:15 p.m. Friday night. Some fans who attended tell me the event did not honor any teams from the past. Usually there is a 50-or-25-year anniversary for a team and members are brought up. Last year, Mike Garrett actually set foot on campus for the first time since he was fired because one of his teams was honored. But that helps explain why things moved faster.

  1. Thanks so much for clearing that up. I haven’t slept well since your original post on the subject. Waiting excitedly in anticipation of your next Rams fans fight post. Anything related to the upcoming football game with Alabama would not be interesting in the least.

  2. USC’s headed in the wrong direction. It’s sharing it’s field with the NFL, once again.

    Here’s a question: With all the money the school is receiving from the Rams, not to mention the ridiculous, and frankly stupid, tuition price, why is USC’s athletic stipend among the lowest in the country?

    If they don’t think it’s big deal going forward they’re all idiots and should get used to competing for those 3-star recruits.

    • John ESPN covered this about six months ago and it wasn’t just USC, it was the whole Pac12 conference that had the lowest stipends. They gave no answers why only a ranking of conferences. The SEC and BIG10 were the highest.

      • The NCAA and the Pac12 are still locked into an agreement that runs through 2018.. By 2018 stipends could hit $5000 per student athlete within the conference.. If I remember correctly, from 2015 numbers were $2000, $3000 in 2016, $4000 in 2017 and $5000 in 2018.. Sam does that seem right?

        • Yeah, I remember it showed the average for a Pac12 school was about $2,600- $3,300. Somewhere around there. I do know there was a huge gap in the amount the Pac12 kid get then other conferences. The top conferences were around $5,000. I want to say even the Big12 were pretty high also.

          • No idea since I didnt go there .. Probably the same as BURGER WORLD U.. $15 dollars per month, Just enough to pay for your ..Obama phone.. ..

          • haven’t you HEARD he’s a five MILLION $$ a year Show Biz exec!!!! (chortle) and that makes sense for an obviously uneducated guey who constantly uses the phrase LOL is in charge of programing and production!!!

            ahhhhhh, our T-Fail, at least his kooky character is moving up in the world!!

          • Easy, CB He’s very, very sensitive and very easily offended. I’d back off, I don’t think he can take the heat.
            Stick with Sam Bam, he’s smarter, tougher and a more worthy target.

          • He’s not here to talk about football he’s here to talk about himself.
            Don’t antagonize him, he’s fragile.
            No telling what he might do.

  3. Digging a little deeper, Google the 91 team. Only Wolf would suggest honoring a 3-8 team that lost to Memphis.

    • The 1966 team wasn’t 3-8. It went to the Rose Bowl. No excuse for snubbing the team the was the basis for the national champs the following season.

    • If he’s doing his job he won’t be honored by the subject he is supposed to be covering objectively.

  4. SC wanted to keep the bar tab down after last year and Sarks soaking up the Fireballs.
