Can You Believe This?

USC had eight men on the field for an extra point more than once against Stanford. Seriously.

“Some guys were not paying attention,” special teams coach John Baxter said. “They’ve all been fired.”

Meanwhile, Clay Helton confirmed offensive tackle E.J. Price has transferred because he is homesick. Helton said Price never punched him.

“I wouldn’t be here,” Helton said. “I’d be dead.”

  1. With all due respect Wolfman, that is not possible… southern cal only scored one touchdown… Only one extra point attempt.

    Can’t blame them too much don’t get many chances to go on the field… No touchdowns!

    • What’s more pathetic? Numerous eight-on-the-fields or Gomer joking that he’d be dead if punched? “They’ve all been fired.” USC press box probably more interested in eating food. No straight answers. Swann dictating to Gomer. Wheels are off. Story is all about the USC chaos now while Gomer makes up lies about all the good he saw vs STAN. You gotta laugh. The worst lies ahead.

        • So you’re saying ucla’s the Cheater College?

          Go Farm! Beat the Payola Klemm Boys, again. 9-0.

          • CowPolyFan3.0’s old sock puppet insisted Klemm was gone. Nice to see you are still pushing that lie.

          • GT.
            He will be gone, just a matter of time.
            Good recruiter (like Kiffin) but he crossed the line and his ex-squeeze busted him.

          • That face cup was the football equivalent of the Godfather kiss Fredo got.
            You don’t want to have that happen to you.
            Klemm will soon be off to the pros and we will terminate his contract for cause so we’re not paying him to coach somewhere else like you did Kiffin.

          • Jacquie,
            I can see we still have much work to do with your blocking. I’m guessing you are one of those guys that never lost playing one-on-one basketball in Jr. High because the other guy fouled you on his winning shot. Am I right?
            You need to admit your blocking and re-direction issues in order for you to make any progress. Now, repeat after me: “SoCal is the Clown College of the NCAA.
            I know it’s hard for you to say NCAA out loud but give it a try for the sake of your recovery.

      • Helton is a one legged duck swimming in a circle. I wonder how Haden sleeps at night knowing he destroyed the program, not to mention the schools reputation.

  2. Okay so the players were fired? As for the homesick kid. Too bad the kid never got away from before becoming an adult.
    During the game I thought Baxter was trying some new wrinkle on special teams. They never tried to stop the kick.

  3. OK, That’s Funny!
    I wouldn’t be here, I’d be dead.
    I appreciate that level of humor from a man in Helton’s position.
    Hired by a Circus and asked not to behave like a clown.
    Tough job.
    Sometimes the only thing a man has is his character and his sense of humor.
    Well said Coach Helton.

    • J-Man, es en FUEGO, hermano!!!
      (J-Man, you’re on FIRE, brother!!!)

      with the So Cal Circus falling apart. the WOLFMAN is taking HIS game to a whole ‘nother LEVEL!!!! and the CADRE has to do the SAME!!! you’re DOING it, man!!!

      #WayToBe

      • Please, I’m blushing.
        No secret formula, I just upgraded the wine.
        Hey did Cal Poly already dump the Slade gig?
        Can’t wait to see how he reincarnates.
        It’s like the old Batman TV series with a new psycho criminal every week.

  4. I have to say this does not say much for the guys in the press box supposedly watching for this kind of stuff. There is supposed to be one guy on the field counting, unless he forgot to come out. Hard to believe in D1 football, but I guess not with this staff.

  5. Having 8 men was planned. Sorta the Mario Danelo/Nebraska Punter Tribute for Osa Masina, Don Hill and whoever is next……

  6. Maybe it would be best if USC were to lose out. I mean, another 8-5 or 7-6 season doesn’t demand the kind of change this program needs.

  7. Oregon would’ve slapped 2 on you every time you lined up with 8 men to defend an extra point. I thought coach Baxter was the one coach we have who is elite in his field. Nothing is working as it should with this program.

  8. Players giving up? Only players with real integrity give it their all when they don’t believe that the coaches can lead them to anywhere promising.

  9. Two Concerns: 1. In the History of American Eleven Man Football, beginning with Junior High School Football all the way up to the NFL, have football fans ever seen a team in uniform crawl on their bellies like lizards before running onto the field of play ? 2. Has a Special Team Coach EVER had 8 Players on the field defending an extra point ?

  10. What’s the next planned sighting of Pat ‘Capper’ Haden? Betcha’s he’s backin’ Hillary just like daddy Bush is.
