Open Forum Answers, Act III

A Chow-Kiffin argument at Orange Bowl? I know of several disagreements and by the time of the Orange Bowl, Chow already saw the writing on the wall about his future at USC and this strained the relationship with Kiffin. Remember, Carroll, Sarkisian and Kiffin met at the Senior Bowl, a few weeks before the Orange Bowl. It didn't take much to set things off around that period.

I missed the Trojanbobcat article, maybe someone can email me. As for other posts, it detracts when people post diatribes. Also, please watch profanity. I've been asked again by the site monitor to warn that this could result in being banned.

Rey Maualuga's battled overpursuing since he came to USC. It's less of a problem this year but still an issue. It's not enough of a liability to consider any move in the lineup.

I was close to a break in Pedalgate but got detoured by Booty's broken finger and Sanchez's brief ascendancy. As for Elevatorgate, Mitch is now avoiding elevators so no worries on that front. It did concern me that Butch Lewis sprained his ankle tripping on his stairs. Mitch is considering taking a fire escape to avoid the usual traps for injury now.
No subtitles yet for ``Mitch and Me.'' The book is not only planned to be shelved on every floor of the Trojan Bookstore, but a class is currently in the works to dissect the book and Mitch's profound impact on the football program and the university.
We intend to donate all proceeds to the ``I suffered a hamstring-groin injury at USC'' club.

Whose early departure to NFL draft dreams have been dashed by the Trojan's "down year"?
Right now, I think injuries doomed Brian Cushing's thoughts of going pro early. But seriously, who's actually good enough to go pro early? This isn't two years ago.

Right now, I think Stafon Johnson will start the next two years barring injury. But it will be interesting to see if any tailback recruits reevaluate coming to USC since the position does not seem as overstocked with talent as before the season.
