Posted on by

USC.STANFORD.2015Stanford will now play Rice in Australia instread of Houston. So the game is being moved up a week to Aug. 26 (Aug. 27 in Australia). That means Stanford will now have a bye before it plays USC at the Coliseum. Let the bye complaints begin!

  2. Grow up blogger. Stop taunting your readers and say something meaningful. You are a beat writer for a newspaper. so talk about something important without taunting your readers.

    • Calm down Kenny, nobody gets upset that you consistently make a fool of yourself on Wolf’s blog. If you don’t like the Wolf bozo u slant, find something you do like.

      Isn’t there a bozo “life’s a bowl cherries, bozo u is the greatest” blog you can attach yourself to.?

        • I don’t think so. bozo u is 3rd behind Stanford #2 and #1 UCLA in NCAA NC’s.

          And 3rd place is predicated on bozo u ballot box, toilet paper, FB NC’s. The NCAA doesn’t even recognize those cheap, voted, non competitive NC’s.

          Ladies and Gentleman, the Three Stooges appoint bozo u, the 1926 FB NC’s. – SNORE!

          What bozo u owns is a large chunk of an urban ghetto and one crumbling FB mausoleum full of rodents and winos.

          So Sambo, who’s your next bozo u lock FB recruit?

  3. I feel good about:
    Jay Tufele
    Greg Johnson
    Levi Jones
    Joseph Lewis
    Austin Jackson
    If we have other slots I am not sure. Some talk about Carr, but the guy has been a commit for a long time.

    Solomon to me is a long shot

    • I am glad you feel good about Tufele & Jones and I hope you are right. Other sites are placing Jones at FL & Tufele at Utah. Not as much faith it is SC for either guy as many on this site believe. Lots of unsubstantiated crap floating around.

    • Wished Steve Tuikolovitu (spelling?) would have talked to Tufele about coming to USC…. as it surely didn’t hurt Steve any playing here. Could sure use another big body on defense.

    • I agree.

      Austin Jackson
      Jay Tufele
      Joseph Lewis
      Greg Johnson

      I’m fully backing that they ARE INNNNNNNNN!

      Solomon or Fall are just gravy.

      • What’s your thoughts on TT transfer Fehoko ? I know staff is waiting till signing day to fully address.He would not be able to play until 2018..Which,after this DT class being loaded might play a concern for both parties.

  6. Good for ‘the farm’ – we should handle them easily this year with a revived offense and returning line.

  7. They will get some advantage preparing for SC but the reality is, the travel to Australia is tough. The 14 hour flight back and dealing with the time change will chip away at the bye week advantage.

    • Plus it is early in the season the interruption of momentum might work against Stanford.

    • It will take them a week just to figure out what day it is let alone recover physically. A study out recently shows a Major League baseball team traveling from the west coast to the east plays worse even if they are back at their home park.

  8. Won’t matter. With Coach Pendergast having more depth on the DL, he will be able to install a 3-4-4 rather then the 2-4-5 he ran last season. One week bye, two week bye. No difference. USC 34-17.

  9. The travel for the Stanford men will impact them for a day or two.

    It’s not like the Stanford men will be in class. School will not be in session for them. Convenient. Almosts feels SEC like…

    The men of Troy have to be ready for a ready Stanford team…
    Anybody, Anytime, Anywhere…

  10. Recruiting question.. SAM… Did I miss something? I read something on a USC site that Falo was a USC silent and just got word USC is passing on Falo now, which does not make sense.. As he is the #2 TE in the country.. It was also shared, USC now has a full class including (2) BS and (1) GS.. You hear different? Anyone!!

    • I think we should take Falo. He’s undersized at the moment but he is a prospect that would be a valuable weapon in two years. That said I haven’t heard anything but I would be led to believe some big fish are on the hook.

      • Falo sees playing time immediately at Oregon.He has some excellent TEs ahead of him here.We may want to wait until 2018 and go after two in that Class.

          • From what I read and think,the staff is playing an excellent chess game.Couple thoughts ; we are way ahead on 2018 recruiting, and equating that into this year. (Hence loading OL , DL)Staff is only going to fill with players that are of need .( only blue shirt if OL or DL)
            We may use who would have Blue shirted,if Solomon and Kinlaw sign elsewhere.Save spots for 2018 skill players.

          • Kinlaw is rumored to have committed to South Carolina earlier today. But for 2018 we are going full on for top LB’s. The best of the best, no exceptions is what I’ve heard. And CB’s.

          • Kinlaw did.Tufele is our must get now of all the left spots.I know we believe he’s in.He’ll be the one I’ll be waiting to here is name.

          • Not overconfident but confident that Tufele will announce to USC. Swanson, Schrader, and and their pal Drewski feel Aubrey Solomon is 50/50. With Michigan the edge if they had to pick.

    • Just heard. We didn’t drop Falo, he was promised immediate playing time at Oregon and basically dropped SC.

  11. Hey isn’t Falo supposed to commit tonight Monday (while Scott posts more Kiffin stuff) ?

  12. This is clearly advantage to USC. Most of the Stanford team has not flown 17 hours each way in a one week span. And the first time you get long flight jet lag is the worst. And some of those 300 pound linemen are going to be hating life. That trip will mess the entire Stanford team up for a couple of weeks.
