QB' questions:

1.Feeling on Sanchez leaving for the NFL?

2. On ESPN they stated that MM was "perfectly happy and fine at USC" is that true? He always looks depressed and lost...would he really ride it out at USC sitting on the bench behind Sanchez and Corp? Sort of like a "Matt Cassell II" ? After he threw that INT Carroll didn't even look at him

3. What is happening with Booty? I don't think he is even on the Vikings active roster anymore

4. Feelings on Leinart? He seems to be persona non grata in Arizona...will he be traded? what will happen to his friends from the hot tub if he is? Can you give them my phone #?

5.Is Carson Palmer's career over?

Are we going to hear PC say, "I think we are the best team in the country!" or "I wish we could keep playing!" after a 2009 rose bowl victory just like 2007 and 2008?

How did exactly did Oregon State beat USC on 9/25/08?
Did the Beavers have more motivation to beat the Mighty Trojans than they did to make their first Rose Bowl in 50+ years in losing to Oregon?
Where would USC be ranked if it were 11-0 right now?

Why did Pete Carroll not play the younger kids more in the Notre Dame game? Which juniors on the roster besides Mays will enter the NFL draft?

Do you think Wes Horton will ever see quality playing time at SC?

Scott, what do you think is the real reason that the Trojans forced Hazelton to burn a year of elegibility this year? Thanx.

Scott, seriously how can you rank Texas Tech over SC when they got blown out last week and barely beat Baylor at home this week? Doesn't how you end your season mean something? And doesn't SC deserve a higher ranking with maybe the best defense in the last 10 years?

Scott, are the Trojans looking to fill any specific needs with the remainder of their recruiting class? I see where we have a lot of offers out to a whole bunch of guys that, I guess, we have only a small chance of getting.

What does the term or word ' Nittany' mean in the nickname Nittany Lions? Thank you, Scott, and also thank you for the forums.

Word is Notre Dame's band director, Kenneth Dye, has already been tapped to succeed Art Bartner. What have you heard?

Why did Pete Carroll put Joe McKnight to return punts all of a sudden? Is this another example of special treatment?

If Missouri beats OU, do you think Coaches/Harris voters would vote USC over Texas because Texas is not a conference champ and USC is? If you were one of those voters, would you vote USC over Texas?

This is assuming of course that USC beats UCLA.

What are your thoughts on Marc Tyler as far as:

-The progress he's made this year and where it may put him in next year's depth chart.
-His upside vs. Allen Bradford's.
-Is he "the real deal" as some say, or has he only looked good due to the garbage time minutes he gets vs. beat down opponents.

Thanks

Did you ever talk to Vidal's mother and grandmother who were very close to the program?
