  1. Saban just won 6th national championship with many true freshman…

    Meanwhile back in Los Angeles, Gomer is busy playing “Duck-Duck-Goose” with his coaching staff.

    How does future look for USC?

    A. Bright
    B. Optimistic
    C. Exciting
    D. Mediocre

    • All’s fair in love, war and recruiting. I’m sure if ALA did anything wrong, they’ll be penalized. It’s no secret about dad.

      • Tago was all set to come to USC until Alabama made his family an offer they couldn’t refuse. What a switch, from Hawaii to Alabama? Paradise to the pits.

      • Jack, you really believe that? If Alabama did something wrong the ncaa would lower the boom on them?

        • Ya, I believe ALA under Nick Saban is just better at college football than anyone else. Easy call here. 5 NCs in 9 years and some people just want to say ALA cheated. I call BS on that. ALA’s just better and they proved it, yet again, despite a massive amount of adversity last night.

          And if ALA did anything wrong, they’d be turned into to NCAA by 10 other SEC schools that routinely report on each other, often very publicly.

          I don’t believe in sour grapes, never have, and I don’t think SC lost Taqo to ALA because of cheating. Tago chose ALA because it’s a superior program, football matters more there, Saban is far superior to Helton and Darnold would have kept Tago on the bench all year, whereas at ALA, he’s the MVP of the NC game.

          Saban’s the best CFB coach of all time. He wins with every hand he’s dealt, over and over – and against all his ex-coords who steal his secrets, become HCs and still lose to Saban every single time. He’s so flexible and never stubborn. Listens to his assts when necessary.

          I realize a lot of people don’t want to give Saban credit because he wins too much and is too dominating. Me, I find it refreshing that anyone could be that good.

          Sorry, but Tago would have been a complete idiot to choose USC over ALA if football is what he cares about most. USC, and most every school in the country now, offers very little compared to ALA if succeeding in football is what you need most.

          Saban is ALA are already favored to win it all again next year for his #7. USC will be lucky to squeak into the top 12. There’s a reason for that and it’s not because Bama cheats. They’re just better.

    • Are you surprised? Bama is the biggest bunch of cheaters in the country. They call the Pac-12 “the Conference of Champions”. They should call the SEC “the Conference of cheaters”. The only reason why they never get penalized big time(like USC) is because the head of the rules committee at the NCAA also just happens to be the commissioner of the SEC. How’s that for a conflict of interest.

      • It’s called “knowing how to run a conference. Slive, Delaney, Swafford know what they’re doing.

      • Go screw yourself Jim. How many times have the Trojans been on sanctions? You do not know anything about Bama football. They have been penalized in the distant past. Jealousy shows where you are coming from loud and clear. Guess the Tide cheated the previous season beating the Trojans 52 – 3. Pac – 12 in football is the Conference of Losers with a 1 & 7 or 8 record in Bowl games for 2017.

  2. USC doesn’t have a QB problem. We’re loaded there. Without better OLs, both in pure talent, coaching and development, we’ll never see the POs, not matter how many skilled superstars we have.

  3. Wow- more award winning journalism from Eeyore. Talk about investigative brilliance. Woodward, Bernstein and Eeyore.

  4. Figured Scottie would find a way to not appreciate the amazing game tonight and instead troll his alma mater….

    • I still wondering why the Alabama receiver – who caught the winning TD in OT in the National Championship game – didn’t punt the ball into the stands.

        • Why the flags then?

          I’m speaking to culture – the same culture Wolfe is exposing.

          • How’a your ucla/China Culture coming along, with theft being the Golden Rule for little gutties – Thou Shalt Steal At Random.

            We all know St. Brown will be scoring lots of TDs against you little gutties. SC’s WRs always drill little ucla. I personally hope he boots one of his 2018 TDs into a little gutty section and takes the penalty. So worth it. What are you gonna do about it? You can’t beat SC, so it’s all good.

          • They wanted to troops to have the balls – don’t be Pollyanna-ish. If any of those rising freshmen punt the ball in to the stands at SC, you’ve got a point. Don’t bet the farm on it.

    • The dad wanted a USC diploma… an under-reported story of the last 4 or 5 years is the stratospheric rise of the academic reputation of USC. 2nd toughest school to get into in California. Such a tiny fraction of these student athletes have a career longer than a year or two in the NFL. It’s amazing for those who stay for 4 years to be able to fall back on that Trojan diploma.

    • One of the most stable things about USC is the Trojans always beat up on you little gutties.

      I know the USC/ucla football history makes you ill, so instead of just reminding you the bruins have only beat USC 4X in the last 20 years, we’ll just stick with last Nov, when USC slept-walked all over you 28-23.

      It was a good little warm-up for our real western rival, STAN. I hear you have a lot of trouble with the Cardinal too and have lost 10 in a row. Sorry loser. History’s always an unstable bi*t*ch if you’re a little gutty.

    • I’m guessing he won’t. He looked genuinely happy to relinquish that pressure-cooker.

      • I think you’re right. Hurts was definitely gonna be the losing QB tonight. In fact, Kirby Smart actually said post game that at halftime, the GA staff anticipated the move. Pure genius to some, simple to others.

  5. None of the offensive lineman in tonight’s game looked like fat slobs , they were huge, and athletic.

    • What’s funny is that the kids that came in were not like that. Georgia had a kid that came in at 6’1 and 260lbs, another sloppy as heck kid who was 330 and a 2/3 star, Bama picked up starting OL from Idaho, Montana, and wait for it, California who were not necessarily rock solid kids. They also had TEs and Fbs that were blocking and catching passes. SC and the conference are like the Big 12 ten years ago when they were knocking on deaths door and irrelevant. Difference is, they had the UT Athletic Director (and the real conference commissioner) who saved them from complete implosion and rebuilt the conference, changed a lot of the football being played. There is no will among the presidents nor is there a powerbroker like Deloss Dodd who will come in to save things.

    • And mostly juniors and seniors until a couple got hurt. We have the talent. We just lack the O&D Line and special teams to compete. We need better coaching and a better strength and conditioning program. CH I hope some one is printing out this blog and placing it on your desk.

    • Those Alabama boys were absolute monsters. Did you see that guy stick his arm out and just bring the kick returner down like ‘oh sorry I ran so fast I passed you, had to bring you down by the neck’. And he went down.

    • Fred, you are unashamebly calling our offensive linemen “fat slobs.” Fred, IMO. you are a “Fat Slob” foul mouth commentator on SW’s Blog. Stow it, Little Man !!!

  6. QB? It was clear from tonight’s CFB championship game that the journey between USC’s entire football program and that of elite FBS teams is a very distant one across the board. FYI, BAMA’s second half stars (QB, top RB, and leading WR) were all freshman. So much for Heltons sorry excuse that inexperience explaines the teams sloppy, inconsistent play and underachievement.

      • It seems our embarrassing loss to Bama last year, and getting dismantled by OSU a few days ago hasn’t convinced you USC isn’t even close to being ready for FBS prime time. You’re dangerously close to being another delusional Helton hugger.

  7. That kid would have done wonders for USC.

    Look, we used to specialize on polished pocket passers that came out of Steve Clarkson or Bob Johnson, ready made for the West Coast system, who had the footwork, play fakes, reads, variety of passes and intelligence that’s needed for the system which otherwise takes a long time to learn. It gave USC a huge leg up.

    We aren’t running that system anymore, we’re running a bunch of WRs, less protection and a much simpler system. That means we need to focus having kids who are super athletes, true dual threats with great arms and accuracy.

    USC doesn’t know if it is coming or going right now. It’s understandable, lots of offense changes. Too much is out of array with the program and the conference.

    • Actually Rob Johnson, son of Bob, was one of USC’s biggest choker QBs of all time. I hated those early ’90s USC football years. Please don’t remind me of how frustrating it was to watch Rob in action. Yuk.

      • But don’t you wonder how he managed to win a RB under Robo II? So in that regard, he isn’t one of the worst ever, correct?

        • Love him all you want. He lost to ucla and ND every year. Threw horrible, choker picks. Got sacked all the time. Not much of a leader and never a captain.

          He would have probably been a better WR but he couldn’t run either. His older midget brother Brett was probably better, but Tommy Maddox ran him out of town.

          He won the Cotton Bowl over mediocre 6-6 TEX TECH, not the Rose Bowl, but who cares?

          Obviously, USC has had worse QBs, which is not saying much.

          • Look to the coaching. Like I said, Rob Johnson played 13 years in the NFL and Keyshawn Johnson, Curtis Conway, Johnnie Morton, Willie McGinest, Tony Boselli on the same team used to implode! It’s USC during the down years, tons of talent and the country club mentality toward coaching. SC always gets tripped up by it but now with the business model SC. P12 can find themselves in this position permanently. The presidents would have no problem.

          • You keep talking about the NFL. I thought we were talking about USC, where he sucked through a straw in many of the games I saw. Rodney Peete was vastly superior at USC and he had a long, mostly back-up NFL career too. But he was much better as a college QB.

            As I said, go ahead and love Rob Johnson. To me, he’s a very poor example of your original point.

          • That tells you the talent level. Did a roster full of future NFL all stars just get good in the NFL??? Who was it back then, Larry Smith and Ray Dorr or some other losers coaching? Did you prefer Reggie Perry or Brad Otton? They weren’t setting the world on fire. lool It was just a bad, bad culture at SC and bad, bad coaching.

          • Never said I loved him. But to me, even more maddening were the regimes under Hackett said Tollner with all the messing around even with all the talent they recruited. Perhaps, the Robo II era was a bit more tolerable because my expectations were relatively low for it.

          • Was my response to you? Sorry. It wasn’t supposed to be. I only meant to be talking with timmay.

          • Your response was right..maybe he has multiple accounts. After all, that’s what he accuses others of…haha

          • Over-stimulation on one’s pud is known to cause severe cases of hallucination…haha

          • You know, when one chooses his moniker, it probably doesn’t bother him to hear jokes related to it…have a nice day.

      • LOOL Keep up man! Jameis Winston, Andrew Luck, Cam Newton, Johnny Manziel, Carson Palmer, Mark Sanchez, Blake Bortles, and a list of others did their private prep coaching with him!

        • So what. Rob Johnson was never that good, in either college or the NFL, unless longevity is all you care about. Too bad he was such a choker. Probably upset his dad Bob a lot. Knowing Bob’s rep in Orange County, I have no doubt about that.

          • A functional NFL QB on a roster full of NFL All stars couldn’t produce meaningful wins to save their lives under the coaching. I think you need to look back and look at some of the coaching- it was the old boy crappy country club system at its worst, and players who didn’t give a crap. Recall that during that period several SC players actually sued USC about playing time in court! SC was a basket-case of a program. If it keeps this up. bringing in this talent by hook or crook to a dysfunctional program things will go downhill. The president and the P12 cares that much less and SEC, Big 10, ACC and the business of college football cares that much more.

          • Why do you care about convincing me?

            I never said nor suggested USC was a good program in the early ’90s so you’re missing the point entirely. I just said Rob Johnson was one of the most frustrating USC QBs I ever saw and that he was a big-time choker. You don’t agree with me. I don’t care. No big deal. So what?

          • Tetchy! Unbunch the panties champ, just giving my opinion, you’re not the only one who posts or reads. If you don’t like to hear other opinions keep a journal .

          • Anything you say Spanky.

            Sorry I hurt your feelings about Rob Johnson little guy. Deal with it and skip the long lecture about dysfunctional USC in the early ’90s. We’ve all heard it before.

          • PS I also think you should take a look at SC’s running game during that period. Oh Gaaaad! SC was so dysfunctional. loool I guess that’s why some posters are ok with mediocre by the way. They recall the darkest of dark days of the 90s rather than post 2001.

      • Rob Johnson played in the league how long? I recall his issues at SC but again, you have to ask yourself how SC had a QB that spent 13 years in the NFL and Keyshawn Johnson, Curtis Conway, Johnnie Morton, Willie McGinest, Tony Boselli on the same team used to implode! It’s USC during the down years, tons of talent and the country club mentality toward coaching.

        • You obviously like Johnson, I don’t.

          We could spend a lot of time on this, but why? He had a very marginal but long NFL career. My point stands. He wasn’t a winner at USC nor the NFL. A guy like San Darnold is twice the QB Rob Johnson could ever be in his dreams. Darnold would have kept Johnson on the bench every second of his USC career.

          • It’s not a matter of liking or disliking or about him. If someone in college who was a 13 years in the NFL caliber player was surrounded by that much talent and the team couldn’t put together much above winning seasons, think of what that says. Think of what happened before and after him. Think of the coaches. The high point of the period was JR II when the guy was really phoning it in as much as I love him. Even if you put Robo aside, why didn’t SC with all the talent it was putting in the NFL during the 90s, more than any other team in the nation even during the Miami period, still could not field a NC contender??? Heck we had the SAT scandal, cheating was rampant, steroids were rampant, we just had the same attitude: just add more talent under crap coaches using SC as a waiting room for an NFL gig.

          • Gather round, kids. Settle down now. And no hitting. I’m going to tell you a story about the way that Jack B. has really pulled a fast one this time. Although the pressing need for presenting a noble vision of who we were, who we are, and who we can potentially be is acknowledged here, the main focus of this post regards Jack B.’s desire to destroy, debauch, devalue, and dehumanize a wide assortment of innocent people. What’s black and white and purple all over? The prose of a counterproductive undesirable who has just discovered polemical invective. I’m talking about Jack B., of course. In particular, I’m referring to the fact that some people apparently believe that if we don’t bother Jack B., Jack B. won’t bother us. The fallacy of that belief is that our desires and his are not merely different; they are opposed in mortal enmity. Jack B. wants to reduce us to acute penury. We, in contrast, want to alert people that he managed to convince a bunch of unregenerate wallies to help him produce a new generation of slovenly junkies whose opinions and prejudices, far from being enlightened and challenged, are simply legitimized. What was the quid pro quo there? The answer will not satisfy those who seek simple solutions to complex problems, but it boils down essentially to this: Jack B.’s treatment of favoritism mirrors the attitude that many childish wretches hold towards charlatanism. Furthermore, I personally have begun to see, more and more, how our failure to issue a call to conscience and reason is reflected in our failure to wage war on opportunism. The situations are different, of course, but also similar. At the heart of both is Jack B.’s success at institutionalizing antinomianism through systematic violence, distorted religion, and dubious science. At the heart of both, there’s a denial of reality. At the heart of both, there’s the observation that the earth presents a wonderful example of variety in all classes of the animal and vegetable kingdoms. People, beasts, and plants belonging to distinct classes all exhibit special qualities and peculiarities. Unfortunately, Jack B.’s special quality is that he must be surrounded by some sort of reality-distortion field. Why else would Jack B.’s spinmeisters claim that Jack B.’s decisions are based on reason? If it weren’t for all that reality distortion they’d instead be observing that Jack B. has been doing “in-depth research” (whatever he thinks that means) to prove that “the truth”, “the whole truth”, and “nothing but the truth” are three different things. I should mention that I’ve been doing some research of my own. So far, I’ve “discovered” that Jack B. argues that if he kicks us in the teeth we’ll then lick his toes and beg for another kick. I wish I could suggest some incontrovertible chain of apodictic reasoning that would overcome this argument, but the best I can do is the following: The public is like a giant that he has blindfolded, drugged, and gagged. This giant has plugs in his ears and Jack B. leads him around by the nose. Clearly, such a giant needs to shape a world of dignity and harmony, a world of justice, solidarity, liberty, and prosperity. That’s why I feel obligated to notify the giant (i.e., the public) that letting Jack B. shatter and ultimately destroy our most precious possessions is tantamount to cutting your own wrist with a razor blade. I do not say that lightly. Remember, unless you define success using the sort of loosey-goosey standards by which Jack B. abides you’ll realize that true measures of success involve cross-examining Jack B.’s domineering allocutions. Success is getting the world to see that Jack B. derives great joy from spawning a society in which those with the most deviant lifestyle, delirious behavior, or personal failures are given the most by the government. What does any of that have to do with jujuism? Everything. It turns out that if Jack B. is going to make an emotional appeal then he should also include a rational argument.

            Jack B.’s fastuous dream is starting to come true. Liberties are being killed by attrition. Totalism is being installed by accretion. The only way that we can reverse these merciless trends is to expand people’s understanding of Jack B.’s unfriendly crotchets. To be precise, I, hardheaded cynic that I am, stand by what I’ve written before, that his supporters have been waxing stridently about academicism, Jack B.’s writings, and why Jack B. should take the robes of political power off the shoulders of the few honest people who wear them and put them upon the shoulders of waspish, chuffy usurers. Meanwhile, I have been reaching the broadest possible audience with the message that Jack B.’s attitude is truly, “You don’t agree with me; therefore, you must be a reckless stupe”. What do I hope to achieve by doing such a thing? I hope to achieve widespread recognition that Jack B. provides simplistic answers to complex problems. What’s my problem, then? Allow me to present it in the form of a question: Who among us is brave enough to say out loud that Jack B. prefers to keep his fickle, Pecksniffian agenda hidden behind the cloak of caciquism? Before you answer, let me point out that if we’re not careful, Jack B.’s immoral, stuporous jokes will throw us into a third world war sooner than you think.

            Jack B. is unhappy that people like me want to oppose him and all he stands for. Such cavils notwithstanding, the best thing about him is the way that he encourages us to stop the Huns at the gate. No, wait; Jack B. doesn’t encourage that. On the contrary, he discourages us from admitting that he needs to stop living in denial. He needs to wake up and realize that his grotty equivocations serve always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. They agitate the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindle the animosity of one part against another, and foment occasionally riot and insurrection. As if those characteristics weren’t bad enough, Jack B.’s equivocations also prevent the community from hearing that Jack B. constantly insists that he is always being misrepresented and/or persecuted. But he contradicts himself when he says that things have never been better. At this point, let me mention that some of my friends have criticized my previous posts for sounding too negative. They suggested that I adopt a more positive tone in the future. Well, as I’ve reached the end of this post, I guess I can try ending on a positive note: I’m positive that Jack B.’s dream is to rule the world, or failing that, annihilate it.

  8. Slive, Delaney, Swafford know what they’re doing. Deloss Dodd used to threaten and insult the NCAA as much as all the USC ADs in the last 20 years before he had his breakfast, and the man got his way for the conference.

    Special shout to Roy Kramer (probably passed by now), the guy who figured out how to game the NCAA system and put the SEC on top. Look ’em up.

    The softness starts from the top and trickled down all the way to the players and coaches. The presidents don’t want competitive football, Larry Scott is out to lunch, the ADs are on country club duty, and the coaches are the left-overs, the TV deals bad, which means less money, less eyeballs, less gameday experience, less butts in teh seats, worse coaches, less great players.

  9. When was the tweet of the night decided? I didn’t get a say in this.
    Dammit, Wolf won again.

  10. If only we would have got Tua, we would have won the national championship on a a comeback late in the game! Dam.

    We need Wolf as our leader! Get out that resume Scottie Doo!

  11. Tua Talo was nothing short of amazing. He has a fantastic throwing delivery. Ultra smooth, unbelievably precise..
