Nothing Official

Obviously he hasn't officially announced, so how is this newsworthy? Is this anything we didn't know at the beginning of the week?

Regardless, I would love to see Mustain in the Cardinal & Gold. I simply do not foresee a scenario where he will not start in 2008. Seriously, why else would he ever transfer if he didn't think he would start?

WD40:
Take him it out to breakfast and sell him your best BS you seem to be good at it...

I thought Mustain said that he would announce by May. Sure, that could mean anytime from now until then.

Good luck to him in his decision. Here's hoping he will become a Trojan and lead us to another National Championship!

Fight On!

Scott - I thought you said it was "a done deal"? So if it is, he's going to make one heck of a starting QB for us. Best darn incoming QB we've ever had. Nothing but positives about the Mustain transfer. He's not going to embarrass us with any off the field incidents. Getting arrested for rape has no place at an institution like USC. Mustain is above that and I will welcome him with open arms.

Mitch Mustain is coming to USC, you can count on it. He will sit out the 2007 season and will start in 2008. There are reasons why he was approached to transfer to USC and it will become apparent soon enough.

To those of you who think that Mustain's high school competition was not as good as what Sanchez faced, consider this:

In his senior year, not only did he go 14-0 and win a state championship, but he was the starting quarterback for three wins over nationally-ranked opponents and a No. 2 ranking in one national poll.

So the competition was not all local Arkansas teams from the sticks.

His personal accolades are also far greater than Sanchez's. Some of Mustain's awards:

He was the Gatorade, USA Today and Parade Magazine National Player of the Year. No other player has won all three awards in the same year.

Since high school, some of Mustain's college accomplishments:

He went 8-0 as a true freshman starting quarterback in the SEC. No other true freshman in the history of college football has that good of a record.

Mustain is the real deal and not some potential project. He has achieved at the college level already and the possibility of what he will do as a 20 year old, based on what he already did as an 18 year old, is simply mind boggling. There is so much potential there for greatness

From all accounts, he's a solid human being, with deeply-rooted values and is active in his church. This is just the kind of young man we should want representing us. He is representative of the student body and alumni.

Mitch Mustain will make a great Trojan.

Mustain will make Dirty Sanchez his little bitch! While Mustain will be busy getting ready for a game in the locker room, Dirty Sanchez will be busy telling recruits what his jail cell looked like!

While Mustain will be taking official team headshots for the media guide, Dirty Sanchez can save the team money by submitting his LAPD mugshots!

Dirty Sanchez owes his entire freedom to a UCLA attorney, so we all know where his loyalty lies.

Mustain coming in means the end of Dirty Sanchez. He will be nothing more than Mustain's bitch and a mere afterthought.

Bye bye, Dirty Sanchez! Hello, Mitch Mustain!

I think Scott is posting this non-announcement just to see our resident Latino friend get all worked up again over the prospect of Mustain coming in and taking Sanchez's place.

I have to admit, it is very funny to see some grown man get angry over some young Latino football player facing competition and criticism on an internet blog. It makes me laugh that it upsets this man so much that a white quarterback is coming in.

Ugh, the comments on this site often make me feel nasty about being a USC fan. Between ESPY's ridiculousness (charges weren't even *filed* against Sanchez) to DaveFromCDM sounding like he has some ludicrous white-victimization complex... ugh, it makes me want to take a shower.

I never even considered race to be a factor in Mustain's recruitment, but I guess some people have to turn it into a race baiting issue. Does this really make Sanchez the poor Latino victim? Oh, please!

When Rocky Hinds transferred from USC, did black people cry racism?

Bringing the race card into this is beyond stupid. But it's only one man making the claims and that's why there's something called the lunatic fringe. It's merely the fringe, not the mainstream of American thought.

Now back to our regularly scheduled progamming...

Re : JamesW99, EVERY kid that comes to SC thinks he is going to start (e.g. Whitney Lewis, Rocky Hinds etc) MM "considering" a transfer to SC means nothing new that we havent heard before.....ESPYSports, keep your gutter talk confined to your porn sites/chat rooms..we are SC. not Penthouse........and Sanchez will start unless he loses it on the field by his performance......PC has always been fair to his QBs that have waited and learned from their predecessors.
Fight On.

trojanq84...I don't believe that PC cares about how long a player has waited in the wings. The Matt Cassel example is a perfect comparison. He was the 2nd string to Palmer for three years, with two of them ahead of Leinart. When Palmer was gone, Cassel was then moved to 4th string, while Leinart became the starter.

Also, something that no one has factored into any of this - PC and Sarkisian may not even be at USC in 2008. That's a serious consideration and will change the entire equation and system. It's something to ponder.

Some of you people are so out of control it's sick. If you have nothing remotely worthwhile to say please save yourself the embarassment and don't say anything.

That said, the likely reasons they are looking at bringing in another top quarterback are two-fold. First, because Sanchez has arthritis issues with his back and even sat out a week last year because of it and second, Carroll loves competition at every position and wants Mustain pushing Sanchez like he pushed Booty, and so forth.

There ESPY goes again, attacking Sanchez. Keep it up and I'll let everyone know that you were known as "Rusty Trombone" in high school due to an unfortunate men's locker room incident. I'm pulling for your recovery though!

MarathonRunner, I keep seeing posts about Cassel being 4th string, but he was in fact second string in his final year. Look it up.

Hear me now and believe me later, Mark Sanchez will be the starting QB for this team at some point and will garner some attention for the Heisman Trophy. As it is written, so shall it be done.

There isn't really a rush for Mustain to announce as he won't even enroll at USC until May. He will still be an enrolled Arkansas student this semester, so what's the rush for him to officially announce? PC has held a scholarship just for him, so it's not as if he has to commit before someone else will take his scholarship.

Even when Mustain enrolls in May, he still won't be able to play until the 2008 season, so all he will be able to do in the meantime is learn the playbook and integrate into the system.

To Marathon Runner: Good point about PC possibly not being at USC next year. If that happens, there will be an all new system and offense.

So everything could be up in the air in 2008, including who starts and who is still around.

sureshot32, I am not talking about Matt Cassel's fifth year senior season. I am talking about the previous year, when he was a redshirt junior.

He went from 2nd string to Palmer the previous two seasons to 4th string his redshirt junior year, then was even moved to tight end during the season. After football season, he even joined the baseball team and actually graduated that year and was not even going to return for his fifth year. However, he decided to return and enrolled in graduate school. He was subsequently brought back to the quarterback position, where he was the 2nd string to Leinart.

I am not sure I share your views on Sanchez over Mustain, however.

28th Street, I don't think anyone can underestimate the possibility of Carrol leaving before next season. If he goes, who knows what the next coach will do in regards to the quarterback situation.

Sanchez is the real deal, as is Mustain. If he comes, it will be a great battle to see who emerges as the starter. My money is on Sanchez (but I wouldn't bet too much, :)

I have to admit that I'm one of the many who is jumping on the Mustain bandwagon. I like Corp and all, but Mustain's transfer is simply the Olympics of transfers. Any way you look at it, the boy has produced at the highest levels. With Sanchez, people say that he may do this or might be capable of that, but it's all theories based on the fact that he's "the other quarterback."

Fact is, Sanchez hasn't done one darn thing in college and for many people, anytime they don't like what they see on the field, they immediately want the QB changed. That is sheer ignorance.

With Mustain, it's not based on unknown theories and or simply hoping the other QB comes in. He's done darn well already in college and he was a true freshman. Going 8-0 as a true freshman in the toughest football conference in the country is a fine achievement. He's a proven winner already at the college level and it's more than a case of blaming the current QB for all the ills of the team.

Mustain is most definitely the real deal. How anyone can say otherwise is sheer insanity.

My money is all on Mustain to start in 2008.

Question,

Are Espy and Summer going to go with Mustain and his Mother to Mike Garrett’s office to complain about playing time after he is not the starter in 2008?

One last point on the Mustain thing. I know he went 8-0 last year. Clearly, there wasn't much else he could have done above and beyond what he accomplished. A perfect record is just that, perfect. But please remember, when you bring up "perfect" and "toughest schedule/conference" that Mustain DID NOT play against the 3 toughest teams on his schedule. You can make a case that Auburn was a very good team, and I'd be inclined to agree with you, but they were no USC, LSU, or Florida. Had he started these games as well, his record would be 8-3, not 8-0. You can love Mustain for what he's done, and you can love him for what you think he will do, but I think even the most strident Mustain lovers would be hard pressed think that he would have beaten any one of these three teams. So in other words, 8-0 is good, but when you look at who he DIDN'T play, it's not quite the Rocky Marciano incredible record that some make it out to be.
Fight On!

ESPY;
You are band leader now, WOW. Let's see Rusty Trombone and the USO. Rusty Trombone and the Usual Suspects Orchestra-sounds loud rather than impressive. You know what I like about the English language, it has a flair for the sarcasm, UHM!
Back to the Rusty Trombone and the USO. Jimmyboy is the lead singer, that is if you want to call him that. 62Trojan is another vocalist. What can you say about ESPY? Well a trombone is a trombone! So much for that noise! marathon boy plays the drums-it fits his mouth. TrojanSAEinNYC plays the trumpet> The jerk can blow a lot of hot air.
TrojanSAEinNYC:
Let's talk serious HSFB:
1. Did Arkansas place any HS FB team in the top 25, 2005 0r 2006?
2. How many California HS FB teams were in the 2006 top 25? FOUR. Go to usatoday.com under HS FB and you'll get the answer(s):
www.usatoday.com/sports/preps/football/poll/2006-super25.htm

Can any Arkansas team beat any of those CA teams? NO.
Having said that did MM face the tough competition that Mark Sanchez did? from HS QB's to major colleges, Heisman trophy winners, etc. Arkansas can NOT match California. That is a super solid fact. I hope you have some good answers besides the hot air coming out of your trumpet or should I say your usual suspect mouth. Let's give 28th Street a percussion instrument. He's another one of those loud noise makers.
Welcome to the forum Rusty Trombone and the Usual Suspects Orchestra!

wow....I have never seen so much bickering over someone who may/may not even be on the team.

I gotta be honest, I see Tulsa as pretty big to MM also. That's where his buddy Malzahn of the Springdale mafia is.

And yes, that is what they call MM/DW/Gus Malzahn and the rest of the Springdale HS crew in Arkansas. They came into UA and expected the coach to be fired because that's what they wanted and the OC to be fired so GM could take over and basically the entire school to bow down to them. And when they didn't and started running instead, they left.

I quote MM, "If they fire that coach (Nutt) they might have a chance of getting me."

OK Mitch, the president of the University of Arkansas will make you happy.

Just showing a point that I have heard some negative thing about this guy, and he did bolt his program when he didn't like what he saw. USC material?

I know he has every award in the universe and won games and blah blah. I just think we need to give MS a chance before we throw him under the bus and make MM (IF he even comes here) the savior of USC football. I have nothing against MM, but damn, give me a break.

Hey USC1966:
You sound like a bride with cold feet and afraid to say I do. Which side of the fence are you in? You keep flip flopping like you have been lately and you end-up like an old maid without a husband...

Wow, this is the never ending thread!

Enough already, Mustain hasn’t even said he is coming to USC...at least not yet! So let’s wait and see, and then if he does transfer, Sanchez, Mustain and Corp will all compete on the field, best player plays period... doesn’t matter if he is Caucasian, Hispanic, or a redneck (as EC likes to call all Caucasian people from the South, sorry white people from the South).

We get it Sanchez, Mustain and Corp were all highly decorated, Five Star high school football recruits. Per Scout - Sanchez was the No.1 QB in 2005, Mustain was the No. 1 QB in 2006, and Corp was the No. 3 QB in 2007. Who cares who was more decorated...all that matters is that they are all/or will all be enrolled at USC and will be competing for the Trojans.

To the Sanchez-bashers:

If you ever have seen Sanchez or heard him interviewed, you would know he is a really good kid. And if you ever saw him play in high school... you would know he is a physically gifted athlete that has all of the tools to be a great USC QB.

As to the arrest, all we know is that he was arrested “on suspicion of sexual assault” and that charges were dropped by the DA “due to a lack of evidence beyond a reasonable doubt.” Who knows what really happened, but in our justice system you are innocent until proven guilty. So the only real thing that we know Sanchez id was drink underage at The 9-0. And for all of those people on this email that actually went to USC...who didn’t drink underage at The 9-0?

To El Capitan:

While you offer a great analysis of California vs. Arkansas high school football, who cares? My question is what did these kids do last year? Mustain went 8-0 in the SEC (the best rated conference), Sanchez was standing on the sidelines with a clipboard because he couldn’t beat Booty out for the starting job (although he was learning the system), and Corp was playing against high school kids (granted they were CA high school kids, not Arkansas high school kids).

Who knows, Corp probably will turn out to be better than Sanchez or Mustain!

On a final note - You have to love USC fans. We argue over which of the three 5 Star QB recruits will end up as the future starter after Booty (another 5 Star recruit) wins a National Championship and goes on to the NFL. It makes me wonder what UCLA fans do on Brian Dohn's Blog? Do they still dwell on that 13-9 fluke all day long or do they argue over who will be the next underachieving UCLA QB that loses in the Emerald Bowl and doesn’t make it onto an NFL roster?

Speaking of drinking... Sorry, I meant to say "the only real thing that we know is that Sanchez was drinking underage at The 9-0.

Are any of you aware that this "system" which you are referring to, has only been in place for the past two years since Chow left? Now that Kiffen is gone, there will be an all-new system. Mustain will be a part of the system from the ground level on the first day, so there is hardly a benefit to having been a part of the program any longer than another player on the offense.

I concur with JJH4USC, SC'03, TrojanSAEinNYC and the others - who cares what one player did in high school in Arkansas compared to what another player did in high school in California? The question that should be asked is, what have they done since then in college?

Simply put, in 2006, Mustain started eight games in the SEC, the toughest conference in the country, and won all eight games as a true freshman. Sanchez sat on his ass on the bench because he couldn't beat out Booty.

That's the crux of the issue - college performance and experience. With those parameters, Sanchez has not done anything, while Mustain did everything that was asked of him and ended up with the best record in the history of true freshmen starting quarterbacks. Claiming that he would have lost those three games he did not start is futile and deals solely in the hypothetical. Truth is, you simply do not know how he would have done. It's all speculation, nothing more.

So for those reasons, I would have to lean heavily toward Mustain starting in 2008. He is a proven winner at the college level and I am not even factoring in any of his high school accolades.

To respond to the previous post and just to play devil's advocate:

Just because we are dealing with hypothetical situations doesn't mean that Mustain didn't start the softest part of the Razorback's schedule. You're right, we can't say whether or not he would have won those games. We do know which games he did win, and they were among the easiest that Arkansas played last year.

Also, Mustain was a highly heralded recruit coming into a program without a big-name quarterback. Mustain earned his starting spot last year (from what I can tell) but did not have to beat out a player as high-caliber as John David Booty. If Sanchez entered the program with only a middle-of-the-road backup to beat out for the starting spot, he might have been the Trojans' starting quarterback as a true freshman.

This isn't to say that I am pulling for either player to win the starting spot. If Mustain ends up transferring to USC I will look forward to having another great player on the roster and the competition that will create at the quarterback position. I'm puzzled by those who seem so certain that either one is destined to be the 2008 starter. That decision won't be made for a year and a half. In the meantime, the 2007 team is loaded and I will be pulling hard for John David Booty (the preseason Heisman candidate) to lead them to another Pac-10 title and a national championship.

JJH4USC:
The HSFB analysis is relevant, WHY? Mark Sanchez faced a tougher competition than Mitch Mustain. He was also the #1 QB in the nation; Mustain #2 when he graduated from HS.
Well Mr. JJH4USC here is Mr. Mitch Mustain 8-0 record performance in detail:
9/2/06 VS. USC(USC 50 AR 14):
4-6 passes for 47 yds 0 TD's/1 INT by then must of you know that USC had the 2nd. rate Defense by then.
9/9/06 VS Utah ST(AR 20-UT ST 0):

9/16/06 VS Vanderbilt(AR 21 V 19):

MM DNP

AR 14-WI 17) 5-10, 41, 0-1
Final MM stats: eleven games:
69-132 (52.2%), 894 yds, 6.8 yds/att, 10 TD's, 9 Int's, QBR 120.5
Casey Dick replaced MM and he finished with 9 TD's, 6 INT's, 991 yds and a QBR of 125.7. On the games that MM did NOT play I abbreviated with DNP. Judging from that list MM played only against one real good team-Auburn. As clearly noted MM did NOT play against FL, LSU and TN NOT to mention very little against the Trojans. The stats reveal a marginal performance against low quality teams. MM has the benefit of the NCAA QBR formula. If the NFL formula would have been applied his QBR is 70.71, ouch. JJ it is obvious you are with the usual suspects camp. Oh well, what else is new?
Thank you

El Capitan:

Since you want to keep bring up high school comparisons by claiming that Mustain did not face the same competition in Arkansas that Sanchez faced in California, how do you explain that Mustain beat three NATIONALLY RANKED teams in his senior year? These teams were not all from Arkansas and, again, they were NATIONALLY RANKED. Sanchez cannot say the same thing.

Oh and another thing, Mustain was actually the No. 1 ranked QB coming out of high school, not No. 2 as you falsely claim. To go further, he was actually the No. 1 ranked recruit coming out of high school for ALL POSITIONS, not just quarterback. He won every single National Player of the Year award, which Sanchez was not able to do.

But why let facts get in the way of the truth?

Mustain cannot be touched by Sanchez, whether it be high school accomplishments or what either one has done in college.

JJ4USC:
Check:
http://www.rivals.com/viewprospect.asp?Sport=1&pr_key=46247
The above link rates Aaron Corp a four star propsect NOT five as you claim, OK?
Thank you

Turnstiles:
Check:
http://www.rivals.com/viewprospect.asp?Sport=1&pr_key=30346
The above link certifies my claim therefore do NOT accuse of ANY False BS, GOT IT? Mustain 2006 #2 QB and #10 player rated. If you are going to challenge my findings amke sure you can back them up with facts.
Mustain college accomplishments: 10 TD's, 9 Int's, 52% pass completion and a 70.71 QBR against a soft competition. The only decent team he played against was Auburn. The nine Int's led to Casey Dick replacing him.
For those reading the post where I posted every game stats in which Mustain played for example:
3-7, 50 and 1-1 it means:
3 completed passes out of seven, the second # means the yards he threw 50 and the last one 1-1 means he threw for 1 TD and 1 Int.
Thank you

El Capitan:

Mitch Mustain, No. 1 Quarterback in 2006 class:

http://scout.scout.com/a.z?s=73&p=8&c=1&nid=1539361

You're wrong. Nothing new.

There is at least one thing we can all agree on -

Sanchez has been arrested for rape more times than Mustain!

El Capitan:

Aaron Corp, 5 star recruit:

http://scout.scout.com/a.z?s=166&p=8&c=1&nid=2384915

You're wrong, yet again. Nothing new, as usual.

What the hell is going on on this board?

I would rather Scott not report on Mustain if everytime his name is mentioned it's going to devolve into a Sanchez v Mustain v Corp battle. They're all excellent QB's in their own right and each has his stregths and weaknesses. If we should have learnt anything it's that recruiting rankings by and large mean nothing especially at a school like USC where all the QBs are highly touted. May the best man win.

USC is in a position most schools envy. Two QB's with impeccable credentials on roster and another considering joining the fold. Every school in the country would kill to have just one of the QB's USC has. Whether Mustain comes on board or not we can be guaranteed that USC will continue to be the QB factory it's been since PC got here...

I really don't get the point of arguing. No one knows who the starter will be in 2008. Let's just focus on the task ahead - supporting the team through 2007 and a run at the NC.

No. One. Knows.

No one knows who is better, and no one knows who will be the starter at center in '07, much less the starter under center in '08.

Tyler, Greg B, and a few other notables are right -- focus on this season. Debating about a year from now is the definition of "internet geek."

EC,

Read Tyler and my previous posts...at USC the most heralded players from across the country compete against one another, and the best player earns the starting job...period. (it doesn’t matter what they did in high school).

FYI - I am not a Sanchez-basher and enjoyed watching him in high school and at USC, and he was great when he was interviewed on the P’s show last year. However, for some unknown reason YOU are a Mustain-basher, which is funny because the kid hasn’t even transferred to USC...yet.

Yes, we all concede that Rivals.com had Mustain as the No. 2 QB. However, Rivals is only ONE of the many internet websites that evaluate high school talent (kind of like the AP is just one of several college football polls). Scout.com had Mustain at No. 1, and Aaron Corp was listed as a Five Star recruit and the No.2 QB (thanks largely in part to his performance this year against California, not Arkansas high school players).

So you can post the website for Rivals.com as many times as you would like, but MOST people (other than you and Rivals) regarded Mustain as the No.1 QB prospect out of high school.

Why you continue to argue about and compare high school football experience from players that are 2 and 3 years removed is beyond me. It would make sense if you wanted to compare Aaron Corp to Ryan Mallet, but it has nothing to do with the experience Sanchez and Mustain gained LAST YEAR. For example, you posted stats from Mustain who went 8-0 and played in the SEC (the best conference LAST YEAR), but you failed to post the stats from the 8 games Sanchez started last year...namely because Sanchez did not start any games for the Trojans LAST YEAR (because Booty was better). So according to your backwards logic Sanchez is better than Mustain because he played against better high school players 3 year ago, which is more impressive than Mustain starting for an SEC teamand winning 8 games against college players..okay EC, you got me there!

I give up you are hopeless!

28th Street,

Nothing anyone can argue with there!

MD,

I know Booty has led feet and is prone to occasionally throw into the fingertips of oncoming defenders (depending on how many steps he takes after the snap), but after seeing Booty at the Rose Bowl carve up one of the best college defenses last year (with future NFL CB Leon Hall), I am going to go out on a limb and say Pete Carroll is pretty sure who will start under center in 2007 when USC begins the season as the No. 1 team in the Country. And sorry EC, it won’t be Sanchez.

PS - By reading posts on this Blog and actually responding to this thread, and getting involved in this moronic and futile discussion, you have also become as you like to say an “internet geek”.

Sorry 28th Street,

Your post is still funny, but let me correct you and my previous response.

Sanchez was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault (not rape) and the charges were dropped by the DA “due to a lack of evidence beyond a reasonable doubt.”

JJ, I'm pretty sure Booty will start this year, too; read again and you'll see I said "at center" in '07 and "under center" in '08.

But your P.S. is fair, and I agree. My point is, with due respect to Rivals and Scout and everyone else on here, recruiting rankings are great, but Stafon Johnson can tell you what they're worth. Whoever Carroll thinks gives USC the better chance to win will play, and we're all cool with that. I'd just like to see some order resotred to this board in the meantime.

JJ4USC:
I have NOT bashed Mitch Mustain at all NOT even once. You know you are in the usual suspects camp. Rivals.com is regarded as the #1 recruiting source. [Lead] is the correct spelling(not led), Pb is the symbol. If you don't believe me check the periodical table of elements.
28th Street, jimmyboy, Rusty Trombone and 62Trojan are the usual court of public opinion crusaders against Sanchez. They got a brain malfunction preventing from distinguishing between allegation and conviction.

JJH4USC:

You said, "for some unknown reason YOU are a Mustain-basher" when referring to ElCapitan. Are you serious when you say that you do not know the reason?

ElCapitan is a race-baiting fool who attacks any white QB because they are a threat to his fellow Latino, Sanchez. That's all he cares about -- promoting a fellow Latino and attacking anyone who dares say say anything positive about a white player.

It's hardly an "unknown reason"! The man is disturbed.

28th Street - funny, funny stuff! I damn near almost threw up my drink reading that!

TrojanSAEinNYC:
Now you want to redirect or deflect back your garbage talk. We are way past ALL that. Save that Latino racial junk. This is NOT about me. This is about Sanchez and the court of public opinion jesters. Everytime there is a good statistical comparison the usual suspects start the rape redundant garbage.
To clear for once and for ALL if MM beats out MS in the field FINE-IT...
Go back and practice with Rusty Trombone and The usual Suspects Orchestra...

Everything El Cap has ever said has been refuted so many times over, I lost count long ago. He constantly contradicts himself, yet is too dense to realize that his past words are still there for all to read.

He is the village idiot that everyone likes to watch make a fool of himself. We like witnessing people like El Cap embarrass himself because we all feel better about ourselves.

When Mustain starts at quarterback for USC in 2008, El Cap will probably drink himself to death.

FLtowerhead:
I have NOT contradicted myself. In fact I have been consistent. When I have been wrong I am and have been man enough to admit it which is more than I can say for you and the rest of your usual suspects gang.
I have NOT bashed NOR accused MM of anything. I presented MM last year stats game by game and from that I opined.
Back to you and your gang the rape charge/allegation continuous mention is fair and valid argument according to you, Rusty Trombone and the Usual Suspects Orchestra. You are wearing out your recording towerrecordshead...
If MM beats out Sanchez in practice, throw by throw like I said I am man enough to accept sports competition. I have followed sports for a while and I have never bashed an athlete to promote another for personal gain using in the process a rape charge which DOES NOT EXIST and was DROPPED. That is your gang definition of sportsmanship and team loyalty...

“[Lead] is the correct spelling(not led), Pb is the symbol. If you don't believe me check the periodical table of elements.” - El Capitan

Right on point. Another typical EC response...find a grammatical error or go on a rant comparing people to instruments in your imaginary band like some crazy person after someone disagrees with you. Try having a constructive debate every once in a while instead of blowing a gasket.

And "You know you are in the usual suspects camp."

Thanks, but no thanks for YOUR generalization. Apparently, you need to start reading the content of my posts instead of just reading for spelling errors. That way you would know that I have nothing against Sanchez or Hispanic football players. Sanchez might become the next great USC QB, but we will have to wait and see. All I care about is seeing the best players on the field.

FYI - You don’t have to be a Caucasian...sorry a redneck as you like to say to think that Mustain might actually become the next starting USC QB over Sanchez (if he chooses to transfer to USC).

JJH4USC:
You wrote led instead of lead, WHY bellyache? If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen or grow thicker skin. You brag about being educated write like an educated college grad and quit whinning. I am biligual and I can read and write both English and Spanish with ease. BTW neither English NOR Spanish were my majors in college. Chemistry was.
Once I am convinced that you are NOT an Usual Suspect member I'll let you know.
Whenever you and Rusty Trombone and the Usual Suspects Orchestra stop bashing Mark Sanchez then I will be a friendly civilized normal guy of the block!
We can talk and debate CFB without personally trashing or attacking ANY player regardless of ethnic background. I have opened the door for a diplomatic agreement. We don't have to be friends but we can get along within that simple guideline meaning and allowing the play in the field, PC and coaches dictate who plays where.
Thank you

the captain..I just wanted to post that I find it tremendously interesting that you hold yourself in such high esteem. Actually you have nearly succeeded in turning a once very interesting and fun weblog of informative USC Trojan football into a cheap racebaiting hate page.
You are a psychopath. You have no honest desire to promote or honestly support in converse Trojan Football. You probably spend your major waking hours dreaming up controversy to spew over these webpages just to get you jolly's.
You are such a racist that you truly make me sick. I wonder just how long the folks on this weblog will continue to put up with your crap. Why don't you go over to the other USC. The one in South Carolina, The one in Yahoo Sports that is now discussing another Latin QB in trouble. A kid named Garcia who could use your support. Maybe you could go get on thier webpages and ruin their blog with your racist BS also.
How rediculous it is to read that "you will decide", and that you can speak and write in Spanish (big deal, there are @3million folks in LA alone that can do that), and that you question many posters education, and that you can come up with smart assed sarcastic names for the other bloggers, or that you'll inform us when you will become civilized or diplomatic, or that you can correct spelling and grammar or that this blog is even about you. Actually you self centered, bigot, why don't you just go away since you promote nothing but angst, anger and bitterness here where you don't have to look anyone else that you've bashed or demeaned in the eye.
Oh and one last thing...how self serving are you..that you have the gaul to add a "thank you" to the end of many of your disgusting and demeaning posts.
Go get a life you miserable piece of work!

Goliathtrojan...a possibly lesser educated, however, still, a reader who's getting pretty fed up with how your BS is destroying this once really fun and informative website!

goliathtrojan:

Don't sell yourself short. You are, most likely, far more educated than that race baiting jackass. He has nothing to do with USC and is nothing more than a street thug with no education, who attacks all white quarterbacks at USC simply because he wants one of his fellow Latinos in there.

No one buys his ghetto nonsense.

You’re right EC, you got me! I can’t take the heat and I will stay out of the kitchen because your spell check abilities are way too intimidating to content with....except you should start using them on your own posts as well.

“I am biligual and I can read and write both English and Spanish with ease. BTW neither English NOR Spanish were my majors in college. Chemistry was.” - El Capitan

Well, it is apparent that English was not your major because if it was you would know that “biligual” is not a word, but bilingual is.

And please let me know when I bashed Sanchez based on some sort of racial bias? Last time I checked, saying that Mustain is a great QB is not a racist statement.

FYI - En Los Angeles la mayoría de personas puede hablar español. No es especial.

Sorryy EC...that would be contend with.
