USC vs. UCLA

USC is going to take Sam Darnold and Cameron Smith to Pac-12 media days next month. It’s a logical move with Darnold the favorite for the Heisman Trophy. But UCLA is not bringing quarterback Josh Rosen, which makes little sense. This has Jim Mora’s control-freak persona all over it.

  1. Maybe because “Josh Rosen only played 5 games last season!!!” Or, maybe, just maybe, Mora doesn’t want his “ace” getting hurt again…

    Waaaaaaah!

    • Or maybe because numerous reports for the past 3 years have consistently described Rosen as arrogant beyond measure, at minimum unlikable.

      • What reports and be specific, or just the typical alcohol induced bozo u Rah-Rah fantasies.

        • Sorry, I don’t take homework assignments from an ignoramous. You know what I say is true. Your not an intellectually honest person.

          • No doubt because you’re so busy making up krap to suit your fantasy comments.

            As to “Your (sic) not an intellectually honest person,” BS…..LOL. Enquish Bunky, enquish

          • Looks like you are a borderline adult. Grow up………and use a spell checker. I find it painstaking to communicate with a microcephalic.

          • Gee Bunkman, you find it painstaking to use the correct pronoun to construct a simple sentence.

            Must be a byproduct of your embracing coprophagia to feed your intellect.

        • How’s that Russian influence on the election and collusion with Trump story coming? PROVEN to be false. CNN truly is the Clinton News Network

          • You’ll have to ask the special prosecutor Ray.

            Just tell him you’re a bozo u grad who wanted to protect that two-bit, deadbeat Cloven Bundy, and I’m sure the SP will answer all your questions.

    • I heard Lavar was going to handle the whole thing and Mora was asked to stay home.

      • Don’t laugh, U.R. —it’s could be coming to that soon.

  2. Even as an SC fan I don’t want anything bad to happen to Rosen. The contrary- I hope he does awesome except against the Trojans.

    • Sorry “SC fan”—— the only “awesome” thing Rosen will do in the USC game is throw back to back to back pick sixes.

  3. Would it be possible for Mora’s “control -freak persona” to keep Larry Scott off the schedule too?

  4. john rosen is alredy best qb in the country, no reason for him to go to media day to tell people this, smdh!

  5. Does it Wolf? You don’t think maybe Mora figures after last year’s disaster Rosen would benefit from a little less spotlight and more focus on the upcoming season?

  6. Mora, aka The Chimp, has turned into a bleeping nightmare for ucla, both on and off the field. Long may The Chimp stay at ucla, the most under-performing college football program the nation has ever seen.

    I smell another bad moon risin’ over Wimpwood this football season. I doubt Rosen survives on the field until the SC game but I sure hope he makes it so USC can give him yet another loser memory he’ll never forget.

    • Helton is putting “IT” to Mora.

      The tables have turned dramatically to say the least.

      • And it’s not like ucla is on probation and playing with a condensed roster.

        • Great point!
          We were handcuffed and still fought to get where we are and it’s USC back on top again.

          • I don’t think your hero Mark Twain would have written that last sentence of yours, UCLA —-but Huckleberry Finn might have said it.

        • This is how bad The state of UCLA football is.
          They hire a OC who was fired at his last job for non-performance. After he gets hired at UCLA, he throws his name in the ring for the OC at Alabama.
          Then they hire some guy by the name of Hank Farley for OL coach. He too was fired from his previous job for the same reason. In 2016 the Minn. Vikings had the worst rushing team in the NFL.
          Not only that. Dan Guerrero Signs Mora to a to a extension thru 2021. A barely-publicized subsection of Jim Mora’s 2013 contract extension made his contract one of the hardest in college football to terminate and his recent extension this past summer put Mora in the realm of Steve Alford when it comes to immovable Bruin coach contracts. Not only are they stuck with Mora, because a big buyout clause in that extension, it would too expensive to fire him. On top of that Dan Guerrero’s contract is set to expire in 2019. So this guy probably doesn’t give a rip. Dan Gu

          • Udub is still laughing lol after pawning their Alky Head FB Coach Sark to bozo u’s “St Pat” for a huge premium buyout, which Udub then used to hire the HC that rejected “St Pat’s” pre-Sark offer.

            The greatest former bozo u basketball player is Cheryl Miller.

            OJ Simpson, a convicted felon, is bozo u’s most famous alumnus, and recently bozo u named a new campus building for OJ’s low speed driver, Al “500” Cowlings.

            UCLA is still UCLA and bozos will always be bozo u.

          • Let me know when your ready to talk about Billy Don Jackson. You know him. The convicted felon that pleaded no contest to voluntary manslughter. Former UCLA player.
            Winning Isn’t Everything; It’s the Only Thing! Ha-Ha.

          • Squatter, how is that judge killer wanna be doing, Darryl Henley? He is still wanting to kill, kill, kill, only judges though.

    • Well, from what I hear, he has alienated his OL so they really don’t want to block for him.

  7. Josh Rosen is a primadona. He’s in love with himself. He didn’t want to go to UCLA. He wanted Stanford first and then SC second. Neither offered him. Why wouldn’t QB U(Stanford) not offer a scholarship to the best high school QB in the country, especially when he let them know that they were his dream school. Rosen settled for UCLA.
