  1. Now WHO in their right minds would dare to malign you???

  2. Flow, you brought this upon yourself, and most likely to set bait. But c’mon, really? Michigan #1? Really? I’m still shocked SC made your Top 25.

  3. ESPN College Football Live says that true freshman Jalen Hurts has won over his team will likely be the starter for Alabama against SC. Wow. Either he’s the real deal or Alabama’s in a little trouble. I got nothing.

    • Sounds like Kiffin wants to go with a qb rotation as he did with Wittek/Kessler – he thinks that’s a safe bet against a hungry SC team looking to prove themselves with a sturdy qb choice and a qb “special situations” expert – I like our chances, especially since this D has been working regularly against Browne/Darnold which is very very similar

      #Coincidence?

      • It’s not official, but it sounds like like he’s their guy. He looked quick, and was making all his throws on the run in the highlights. He may try to do too much by trying to make plays with his feet and it may get Alabama in trouble. He young and we may rattle.

        • If we get beat by some stinking freshman Im going to be very disappointed, I dont care who they are – the qb position is huge

          Ive seen his highlite reel, he looks like a big kid and hard to bring down, but still, no experience on college stage

          • your Yolo, we can’t beat by a true freshmen. I went to church last week, I’ll probably go this Sunday. That may help us out a bit. Jk. But I hope we shock everyone who thinks that we have no chance. And I know you’ll be there so I hope you can come back with great story to tell about all the stunned Alabama fans.

          • When you say you know he’ll be “there,” I hope you mean you “know” my pal Yolo will be at the game and not at church….. leave the church part to me, Sam!

          • Ha! Too bad GameDay won’t be there, I was gonna ask Yolo to male a sign that says Mike and Sam Bam kick a**!

          • I edited my comment below so you could understand it. ⬇I was trying to text and talk to someone at the same time.

        • One thing the kid has not seen is D-1 speed and size wanting to crush him. I hope the USC defense plans to bring it to him.

          • He does face Alabama’s Defense in practice every day so has some of the best preparation in terms of the quality. But I’m sure Clancy will get after him and at least force him to make plays. We played better in past defense when we played man coverage.

    • The pieces are coming together for a great season opener. I’m not at the point where I would predict a USC win yet, but the USC outlook is gaining momentum. Lots of good news for the Trojans lately and you all know what happened the last time we took the field against a true frosh QB, Rosen, and sent him to the showers a loser.

      • I was thinking our DL is at or near the bottom of the PAC 12 which is not the best swrensive conference. I am going to the game, please talk me off the ledge. Can our DL stop the best power running team in the country?

        • The DL is definitely our achilles heel, which is why I’m hoping we’re playing a frosh QB against the Tide – and he won’t be at home. He’ll be in the biggest stadium in the world. Just a little chip in our favor. Chip, after chip, after chip, and you’ve got the ballgame. I still see us losing (regrettably), but I like the idea of an ALA frosh QB a lot.

          I’m more worried about ALA’s D. Tough. Whew!

  4. LOL it is not only “oft maligned by colleagues” its more like “rightly maligned by his readers”.

  5. Jon gold, former UCLA writer for the daily news, he maligned him personally, to me!

      • I guess it didn’t happen, in your opinion. I remember asking him about about Scott wolf. I said “Scott wolf seems like a real weird guy on his blog, is he a weird guy in person.” He laughed and yes he is a very weird guy.

  6. It doesn’t carry the same gravitas when you are maligned for generally being a moron. You say controversial things for the sake of being controversial, not because you have anything insightful to point out.
