"I am staying because I want to finish what I started," Matt Barkley said.
Maybe the fact the USC band and song girls showed up was a hint he would be back.

Great decision Matt! You will undoubtedly be the greatest Trojan QB in our illustrious history. Oh my, what a great year 2012 is going to be. Everybody stay healthy and Merry Christmas, even to Fred and Lob.

suck it UCLA! suck it PAC 12! suck it NCAA! Now complete the early Christmas present and sue the NCAA for loss of revenue associated with the egregous heavy handed and un warranted penalties USC.

The hint was the christmas tree near the podium and all the Heismans behind Barkley. I luv it!
This is a great big stick it up your ass to the NCAA, Paul "Fat Ass" Dee, Mark Emmert, et al. This is what the Fight On spirit is all about. There is unfinished business at SC. Fight On! and Merry Christmas to the Barkley family, the USC football program, and USC Trojans all over the world!

It isn't always about the money. Sometimes we have to follow our heart. You made the right choice young man, now go out and win it all for yourselves and all the trojans who have been eating crap.
Mora jumped and aint coming back. lmao
It's obvious that SOME of you can't celebrate barkley coming back with your mentioning UCLA, coach Mora, or the UCLA fans...Barkley coming back maybe assures USC of winning 10 games and maybe a BCS game, but a National Championship? get real people, the OLine will be average at best without Khalil...Barkley will not have 5 or 6 seconds in the pocket like he did this year especially with all the new coaches coming in with different defensive schemes...but hey, SOME of you have proven to be delusional time and time again so it's not surprising for some of you to think of a NC.
What the hell does Mora have to do with all this anyway? why are a couple of you losers mentioning him? or UCLA? or me? UCLA, Mora, and especially ME, must consume your thoughts on a daily basis...I hope that some of you homos don't masturbate thinking about me eeeeewwwwwwwww!!! that's gross!!!

The 2011 season will go down as his best season. This was a mistake. USC will certainly be better because of him being back, but this was a mistake for him personally.
TrojanPete said:
This is great news! Not only is Barkley a great player but he is a great leader. It takes a special person to be able to lead a team through tough sanctions and keep them focused. Thanks, Matt!
Jon said:
Great news. Ranked top 5 at the end of the season, and returning 9 starters on offense and 9 on defense.
Hey Bruinslob, for one thing I didn't say a damn thing about Mora or any of you moronic FUCLA fans. So what if someone else did. Last time I checked this is a USC Blog asswipe. So stick it up your ass as well douchebag.
By the way, when is Kevin Prince's presser scheduled for? Oops I forgot, he, like a long line of FUCLA QB's, are not going to the NFL any time soon.
SunnyByrd said:
My question is this BruinRob; if you don't like Trojan fans talking about bruins, then why are you on this blog??? This is site designed for USC fans. You can dish it out, but not take it?? I thought bruin fans were used to taking it.
Jon said:
Oops. Make that 8 on defense. I can't believe I forgot Juicy.
NOBS said:
Sunny, you hit the nail on the head.
I am great said:
MB7 is BACK. Like Joe Kane once said in the movie The Program: "LETS PUT THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN TO BED AND GO LOOKING FOR F*CKIN DINNER BOYS!"
Great things to come next year...
Fight On!!!!!!
SunnyByrd said:
By the way, if UCLA were dominating USC, then all these bruins would be truly infuriating to us Trojans. But...they are not. So, bruins out there, until there is something to really boast about, all we trojans get from you is some amusement. You guys remind me of Ruben Patterson declaring himself "the Kobe Stopper". I'm just saying, its a little embarrassing. At some point, UCLA will have a great season, and your trash talking will be less effective because of all the garbage you're posting now. Save it for later.

Fly in from another Planet. did you, jetman624 ?!! You are DEAD WRONG.
This is what HEROISM is all about. This is about uttermost LOYALTY and DEVOTION to a highly HONORABLE ENDEAVOR. MB7's committment to USC is born of SELF-CONFIDENCE, filled with COMPASSION and REGARD for his team mates, coaches, his Trojan Student Body, to the Trojan Alumni, and to all Trojan fans wherever they call home.
From all indications, this decision was rendered by a MAN with a gentle SERVANTS HEART, who looks to future blessing by making WISE DECISIONS, just like the one he presented to the Sport's World today.
Stick around, jet, and enjoy the win-win-win-win outcome of Mr. Barkley's 2012 year.
Kicking A** and Taking Names, as in years past....
Matty comes back for his senior year. What a great decision for him. You are only a young college student-player for a short time in your life before going out into the World on your own. People who rush themselves into the World lose some joy in growing in a natural pace. Most players who stay for that last year even though they have an extra year of eligibility, have a lot of confidence in themselves. Quality always rises to the top. He is a true & honest young man. SC is fortunate to have him.

Even Gold's UCLA blog is better moderated (and frankly his writing is usually better)

SECTION 12 ROW 52 said:
If all goes as expected, Matt will forever be known as the anti-Reggie Bush. That's bigger than any Heisman and any National Championship. Even if he does not win the Heisman, #7 should be placed in the vacated #5 spot on the East End of the Coliseum.
trOJanFan - who the f*** cares if Barkley is coming back, you delusional one, you act as if Barkley is anywhere near the class of Luck, or Robert Griffin...the reason Barkley didn't leave is because he's afraid to compete with the big boys...and probably after noticing that not a single USC QB has done shit in the NFL...he's pretty smart for staying, who would want to spend his career holding a clipboard? at 6'2" he's considered a midget in the NFL.

And now you're an NFL scout.... tell that to Drew Bress...dude, you need to get out more often... some of the shit you come up with is ridiculous...idiot

.....where to start....
1. Statistically, Barkley was better than Luck and played as well as him head-to-head 2 years in a row.
2. Afraid to compete with the big boys? He took on Ohio State at the Horseshoe as a true freshman; I don't think fear is an issue for him.
3. Pretty sure there are currently 3 starting QBs in the NFL from USC right now. How many from UCLA? oh, you're just judging SC on a tougher scale? Good, that's how it should be, glad you recognize that.
4. Being 6'2" won't hurt Barkley. Ask Drew Brees, who at 6'0", is a pro bowler.. has won a super bowl.. and is about to break Dan Marino's single-season passing record.
5. Oh yeah, almost forgot, ENVY ON! You, Bucket & ThaiMux (same person, different usernames) can't stand the hype and anticipation SC fans have for their team because YOURS IS TRASH. WE LOVE IT!
Fight on!
Ps. 50-0

Great Post !!!
Because of Matt Barkley's decision to return for his Senior Year, his NUMBER 7 should be placed in the LA Coliseum in the space vacated by R. Bush # 5, as soon as the young Trojan leaves campus for the NFL.
Thank you, MB7 and the 2011 Trojan Football Team for the FIFTY - ZIP humiliation of ucla !!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS, TROJAN FAMILY !!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!
