Fair enough. I certainly have NOT appreciated ESPN's sense of proportion when it comes to USC (USC 2005: THE GREATEST TEAM OF ALL TIME!!!) In fact, I'm still angry about that fluffer job in '05. But it's a double-edged sword -- they practically set USC up to fail. So yes, I understand it...

That's not quite fair. We lost 11 starters on that '05 defense to injury. As evidenced in your You Tube clip, Vince Young just read the coverage and dashed. Most of those guys playing were not slated as 1st string when the season began. Alot of freshmen and sophmores out there. 2004, 2006...

Speaking of which, remember the Monty Python sketch about the 50 yard dash for People With No Sense of Direction? :lol:

We actually picked up a tank, his name is Allen Bradford. Maybe one of the most natural athletes I've seen. Runs like his hair is on fire.

:lol: A+ on funny.

:lift: That's before the game! After, he's scheduled to particpate in the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain. Only since he's Joe McKnight, he'll only need walk. :D

Joe McKnight - 125 yards rushing on 10 carries for 2 TDs and 150 yards receiving, 1 TD. :tongue2:

He actually jumped right out of Track and Field and got hit by a car off Figueroa. He should be all healed up for Summer, though.

So what is up with these guys? Donald Washington, Jamario O'Neal, and Eugene Clifford? Are they out or in for the season? SC'92.

Ron Johnson photo for you. Receiver Ronald Johnson soars through the air on his standing long jump test Monday morning.

I'd've nicknamed him Tricky. Or Smokin'. Smokin' Dick Trickle. Although he is reputed to have had electronic cigarette lighters put in his race cars, Dick Trickle waited until he got out of the car after Sunday?s 100-lap, 50-mile feature to light up. Nearly 65 years old, Trickle finished...

Rojo was also hot and cold last year, but he's matured. Right now he looks like the kickoff return guy. Broderick Green was injured last year and is now stuck in the RB rotation behind a guy named Allen Bradford. As big as Green is, Bradford was a wild animal with the ball this spring...

Yup. We went after Wells and lost too. I relish watching these guys, really the top players in their respective positions, going head to head. Our RB's are going to have a long day if our O-line doesn't start clicking quickly. I think in our spring game there was something like 16 blown...

I think the best name of all time is Dick Trickle, Nascar also-ran. Somehow his name always comes up, though he's never really won much.

In all fairness, he was.:D

I meant 70,000 or so USC fans, versus 20,000 or so Buckeyes. Do you think more will travel than that?

If Wells gains 100+ yards he'll immediately be up for strong Heisman consideration (if he isn't already). That's my fear.

Honestly, I love that we're playing early, I think it sets the tone for the season and shows the rest of college football you don't have to play patsies to "beef up" your schedule. I am so nauseated by the oc play that I think this game might do the trick in getting other teams to realize it's...

I concur fully, in that Sanchez is has great talent -- but man, his energy was crazy last year -- he was so up to play the coaches had to settle him down. I will say, the kid in not afraid to run with the ball, something that USC hasn't had in a long time. Leinart ran like a stork and Booty was...

So, does that mean Boeckman is a Senior citizen? ;) I think our receivers have been raised thinking all they have to do is show up and run their routes, but somewhere in there they've forgotten how to catch the ball and bullrush the DB's. All our guys are big enough but I'm not sure they know...
