Your thought process when selecting AP pre-season & during the season top 10 or top 25.....

1. Who is up next on the Carroll visit list?

2. Is Max Tuioti-Mariner going to be offered soon?

3. Is Patrick Hill, the JUCO FB, being recruited?

4. Will you be at the prospect camps?

Will USC ever reach 100 titles like their daddy, UCLA?

Why does SUC athletics lag far behind the prestige and dominace of UCLA athletics?

13-9

P.S. Get a women's gymnastics team. This would be SUC's best opportunity at reaching the 100 NCAA titles milestone.

What about the two scott's Darell Scott and Burton Scott what do think USC chances of landing these guy? And is USC ready to offer Vaughn Dotsy?

This has probably been asked and aswered but... In light of the recent relative lack of success by USC underclassmen in the last 2 NFL Drafts, and considering that next year's draft was going to be extremely tempting to many of our juniors (i.e., Cushing, Rey M., P. Turner), has there been a sense that our juniors are going to take a more realistic and conservative approach to making the jump?

Where is Hershel Dennis on the depth chart?

Are we close to landing our 8th commitment for the year?

This may be moot by the time you answer your questions on Friday, but if no official announcement has been made by then -

Has Mitch Mustain actually enrolled at USC yet?

Scott, you mentioned that WR is an area that SC needs help and that's why Pete wants Ronald Johnson to play WR. This is a surprise since I thought WR was a position that had many talented (though inexperienced) players. Did the receivers look bad in the spring practice? Can a true freshman like RJ make the starting lineup?

Do you have the latest on any current injuries? If the season started today, who would be the #1 Tailback and who starts at WR (PT and Vidal?).

Is anyone going to tell Taylor Mays to wrap his arms around the ball carrier during tackels?

Hi Scott--
Thanks for the open forum.

You have answered just about all my Q already, thanks.

Just a suggestion this week...This is ostensibly a site for Trojan fans to read about, share info, and enjoy USC football.

Unfortunately for me, and I think some others would agree with me, alot of these posters who say they are "UCLA fans" are ruining the experience for me. Alot of times I don't want to come on here because there is either going to be some running argument full of foul language between 2 posters or some crappy trash talk about USC.

To keep the integrity of this site, to help us USC fans enjoy it, and to promote USC football, which I assume is/was the point of this site, could you think about either some other type of filter, or spending a little time banning people who are on here trashing USC and ruining the experience for us fans?

Thanks Scott

Will the UCLA poster, so proud to have 100 NCAA titles, ever realize that UCLA is there because of Women's titles. Doesn't he know that the NCAA leader in Men's titles is USC with 73 (+11 more mythical football titles). And the NCAA leader in Men's individual titles is USC with 296 (UCLA is 5th with 161....through last season).

Hearing rumors and seeing reports of a home and home with Boston College and one with Miami. Are these done deals? Bad rumors?

Is anyone going to tell Mitch that he knows nothing about football?

Seriously, how is Marc Tyler coming along with the leg? Are SC fans going to see Tyler on the field in some capacity next year? And if yes, will it be on offense or on defense?

When will we find out which players have been ruled academically ineligible, and whether any players have actually been dismissed from the university?

Which players, in particular, are in academic trouble right now?

Ex.--

I am at work..take my 15 minute break. Jump on Scott's site to get any update on USC football. I click on article #1 about Mustain or something. Here's what I see:

1. "13-9! 13-9! UCLA OWNS LA haha! (Posted for the 100th time this week)
UCLA fan #1

2. "Hey UCLA fan go screw yourself UCLA sux!"
USC fan #1

3. "Yeah, what has UCLA ever done! Nice game vs. Florida st.!!"
USC fan #2

4. "13-9 13-9 13-9 13-9"
UCLA fan #1

So I think, OK let's try the next article on here, maybe there is something worthwhile there. Here's what I see there:

1. "100 titles! haha...UCLA owns USC! Face it! hahah
UCLA fan #2

2. "If you look in some blah blah sports encyclopedia, USC has more titles, if you include football championships! HA! you are wrong UCLA fan!!"
USC fan #3

3. "Yeah shut the F up!"
USC fan #4

4. "13-9 13-9 13-9 13-9"
UCLA fan #2

So I skim down trying to find any article on the site that has some intelligent responses or threads. Nope, it's all:

"13-9 13-9 13-9 13-9!"
UCLA fan

"Go F*ck yourself UCLA fan"
USC fan

I mean, I couldn't imagine what fans of other teams think of all this...It kind of makes USC football look bad....I have been on other teams boards and it's a good place to pick up info and have discussions. This is just like, who can type "13-9" the most times in one day.

Breaks over..time to go back to work. All I got accomplished was again, being informed that UCLA beat USC 13-9 and learned some new curse words.

What abilities will Mitch Mustain bring that will allow him to compete with Mark Sanchez? And where does this leave Aaron Corp?

What goes into an incoming freshman choosing a number. Obviously, they can't take a number that is already taken, but what are other factors?

Does Mitch Mustain possess the work ethic required to succeed as the Trojans #1 QB? He missed all the reps at spring practice and seems to be lollygagging about enrolling at SC. It's not like SC owes him anything like they did at Arkansas. He may have been "The Future" to them, but here he'll be just another number...that is if he ever matriculates. Does he think he can just turn it on and off at will? Good luck with that.

In rumors of Stafon Johnson and M. Coleman someone mentioned that "other sources" influence their decisions. I'm guessing that friends and family give their imput but do other schools contact the players they want to sway into leaving and/or is that legal?

I join in USC1966 comments. People who post to harass should not get posted nor responses.

my question is how are you accessing UCLA for these photos. If UCLA is helping it should be pointed out that they would do something like that and at some levels there is mutual respect.
USC has its own archives and collect photos also,

Non football question.
Do you think Gabe Pruitt will remain in the NBA draft or return?

What are your expectations for Fred Davis this year, Scott? I think he's poised to be All-Pac-10, if the tight end is again an option.

With the recent success of the basketball program and OJ Mayo coming in, is it true that all the seats in the Galen Center are going to be turned into donation-only seats, with a minimum of $2,500 per seat in addition to season ticket prices?

Is it true that unless you pay for seating rights, you will no longer be allowed to buy season tickets for basketball?

Why does Taylor Mays miss so many tackles?

Why does Rey Maualuga overrun so many plays?

Why does Lawrence Jackson suck?

Why is Booty so short?

Why is Chauncey Washington so slow?

Why is Vidal Hazelton a bust?

I could go on and on...

13-9

Tell me when you guys get your 100th NCAA title...LMAO!

How do players like mitch mustain and dwayne jarrett afford all these flights back and forth across the country?

Is Devon Jefferson going to be playing for USC basketball this upcoming season, what happened to him last year?

Scott:

This question is a few months late, but I was curious why there was a lot of talk about the alleged contact between Bush and McKnight, especially when PennSt. was talking about how Larry Johnson was calling Broderick Green to help with recruiting.

Sounds like a double standard focused on the Trojans.

Scott..
Regarding the handful of childish bruin honks that play around on your blog, who cares. Most of them are at least funny. My one tremendous concern however is that you continue to allow this sicko el capitan/door prize whack job continue to persist here. The poster is just an anger and hate monger who's only intent in posting this blog is to flame the board, and for the most part in a racist or expletive way. His contribution to Trojan Football is ZERO. His contribution to this blog is ZERO. Your security must have his IP address for when he changes his alias again, so how about doing the entire board a huge favor and toss this piece of garbage out with the rest of the trash. I've recently taken the tack of a couple of others here and will now refuse to reply to him/her..but the negative, vulgar, inflaming punkish postings continue to spew from his keyboard. Seriously Scott..Can you just drain that festering cesspool from your/our Trojan Football blogspot? Or if not, please at least comment as to why you would want this garbage to stink up your fine infoblog?

In high hopes,
Goliathtrojan

Goliathtrojan:
Is:
1. hypocritical
2. an idiot
3. a double standard rectum hole
Do you have a different standard for your friends that say eff this and eff that to the Bruin bloggers? Did I ever do that? I have to attend or have attended USC to be ignored of doing that, right? I am not a racist you guys are.
Save your kiss-kiss up to garbage, moron. Calling someone you don't know a piece of trash is NOT racist, right you stupid redneck?

And there goes the captain/door prize living up to his reputation right on schedule...

USC 1966,

You also forgot:

3. Actually, I just think Mitch Mustain will be a better QB than Mark Sanchez and earn the starting job on the field, and that is why Pete and his staff have encouraged Mustain’s transfer to USC. - USC Alum/Fan

4. You usual suspects say nothing about the LAPD officers who attacked the Chicanos on their march but only want to comment on USC Football. - Anonymous Nuisance Blogger

5. Dude, I am a USC alum, and am actually Latino, but realy just wanted to talk about Scott’s thread. - USC Alum/Fan

6.YOU hypocritical, Mr. Hitler, _ulo kisser. It is spelled REALLY not REALY...your USC degree has nothing on MY 500 hours of credits in two science majors? I recite polynomial equations in my sleep! - Anonymous Nuisance Blogger

I too will no longer reply to any more “nuisance bloggers”...until August once the 2007 College Football Season is upon us! I can't wait for the Nebraska fans to start the smack talking!

That loser Pete Arbogast has boasted he finally got a job. Any idea what station?

JJ:
You are full of _ierda, OK hipocrita vendido? Be specific which Latin or Hispanic group dropped you into this world? El JJ de la comunidad, si...

Scott,

what's the word on that English safety Michael Igbokwe?

Is he the first English player to ever play for USC? What other European imports have we had to try and play our game?

JJ:
