Morning Buzz
Allen Bradford survives an injury scare and Pete Carroll reminds everyone that Jeremy Bates called the plays this season.
``If you ask me, I'll tell you everything you want to know," Carroll said. ``I've told you the whole time. It's very, very clear. Jeremy calls the plays. That's it. That's all you need to know. There's never been any confusion about it, not since the first moment I told you.''



OK quick game of "who am I?"
I had a few good years from 2004 - 2006, but it has
been downhill since then. I always recruit very well,
yet, I never win the NC. And the past few years. my
team has been getting beaten regularly by inferior squads, sometimes in blow outs, on national TV. All
the players say they love me, but my team also looks
terrible taking penalties and missing assignments and
we aren't really relevent anymore in the world of
college football....
Who am I?
a. Charlie Weis
B. Pete Carroll
C. Both
oh no you didn't, BushWhite!!

C. Scott Wolf
ziiiiiiiiinggggggggg
Merry Christmas Everyone!!!
you too Chuck!
HILARIOUS bushwhite...HILARIOUS.
If Bates does all the play calling, then what is Ruel's job, spotting match-ups? and Pete doesn't have any input...only the naive would by that story.
BushWhite - Easy answer!
Has to be Charlie Weis, for the following reasons....
I never win an NC? Pete Carroll won two national championships. A few good years between 2004 - 2006? Pete won the Rose Bowl last year by a blow out on National TV (actually 3 out of the last 4 Rose Bowls) , so I would say great years up until the last 2 months. Also Pete has never been beaten "regularly" by inferior squads. Also SC to my recollection has not been blown out on national TV from 2006 onward (maybe once, or on a national network, but west coast feed only) and finally SC is still very relevant in the world of College Football, for proof please watch the first round of this years NFL draft and also watch national signing day. Then tell me what other college Football team is more relevant than SC on those two days.
So the answer is Charlie Weis. What do I win?
Nice commentary 3rdandlong, and all true, too.
And what's with this SUCLA Bucket piece of work talking about somebody having an ugly nose. I wonder if Bucket has checked out his lately. And I know Bucket checks this blog every hour to see if anybody commented about him, while everybody else has moved on. So this is for your eyes only Bucket.
BucketPower, to the people and Angela Davis!!!!
The next question is how much input does PC have on the weekly offensive gameplan. No doubt, extensive input.
Hey, does anyone know where i can buy a Land Rover? I heard Joe McKnight had one for sale, is this true? Does anyone know where the NCAA investigation into Reggie Bush and his relationship with agents while he was still playing for the Trojans? It amazes me that the USC coaching staff, including "Punt, Pete, Punt" Carroll didnt know what is going on with their own players...something smells fishy to me and its not the fish market at the Emerald Bowl, the dazzling bowl game the trojans played down to make!!!
