Just about what you would expect from a dumb bruin-once a dumb fucla, always a dumb fucla.

Let him say what he wants to. After JD puts up huge numbers through out the 2007 campaign, and more importantly, leads the men of Troy to a victory on 12/1, this will only prove that Washington cannot analyze, and that he was just shooting off his mouth, AGAIN! Fight On!

In all fairness, Washington knows about over-rated. He did play at fucla and was close to the program throughout the holy toledo years.

I can't believe this guy is allowed on the air. He's not an analyst, he's an SC hater, and a Bruin homer. All Bruin guys on the air are impartial and myopic about their almamater. It's ridiculous!

I dont think its accurate to say JDB is overhyped. Its not like USC is doing anythng close to Oregons-Joey-Harrinton-for-Heisman job. JDB is a solid QB, not great, and is capable of winning the HT.
The USC offense is overrated. Ill agree with that and will be the key reason the Trojans lose 2 games this year. They dont have one proven offensive threat at any of the skill positions. And I think weve all learned the last few years that potential and 5-star this and 4-star that doesnt mean crap.

When I'm at local baseball games wearing USC gear I get a sense that Bruin backers know the "13-9" euphoria is ending in a few months. The few chest beaters I've encountered back down quickly when I tell them the revenge beatdown at the Coliseum is imminent. Good luck at the Emerald Bowl against NC State this year Gutty Little Ones.

Honestly, I think the dude might be on to something. He's not the first expert to make that kind of observation.
I saw another CFB expert analyst on ESPN, I think his last name was Holtz (they said that he used to coach @ ND), say that ND will beat USC at ND this year.
I for one believe them both. Experts are paid to know more stuff than us regular people. We just have to accept this.
P.S.
I always though that to be an analyst you have to be impartial - I guess the rules of journalism don't apply to covering sports. You hear that Scott? Oh wait you already knew that.

Don't rip all the UCLA analysts. I have always found Sean Farnham and Don McLean to be very fair and complimentary of USC basketball players. David Norrie was also very complimentary toward the Trojans in the College Game Day preview show.
Now as for the Washington's and the Marques Johnson's of the world should find other jobs.

keep it up Bruins, keep it up!
BTW who was Florida's proven offensive threat last year?
Answer: Nobody! they developed over the season as will SC. Two losses my a*s.

Hey at least the big guy did not look like he was about to piss in his pants on the air. Talk about being nervous in front of a camera. It will be great though after the game on 12/1 to hear his reasons for the ucla loss!

He's a Bruin. It's a rivalry. Pull your g-strings out of your asses.

hey reelbruin! If its a rivalry doesn't that mean we are allowed to fire back? Or are we not allowed to make comments? But if I was gonna go on tv though I would make sure I did not look like a complete idiot when doing so. Notice how Petros has had a job for a while because he is fair and balanced. This guy will prob. be done before the year is over!
