How long until....

USC gets shut down for cheating?

This has to be the reason that Carroll is leaving right?

[Killian]

Shut down? Never. The NCAA saw what the death penalty did to SMU and will never do that again.

I heard the hammer is going to swing on them this spring.

[King Crimson]

i don't know if the answer is 4, but it looks like both numerals on either side of the "+" are gonna be 2.

now, I know of an old school, highly successful coach already in the So Cal area who has had the most manly, winningest, meanest bunch of 12 year old killers to ever take the gridiron and then get in the minivan and learn decimals. USC might want to look in his direction.

[Adelpiero]

I believe Petey was told what's coming

He has been waiting for an LA(NFL) team, which will be next year or 2, and he heard the news or more stuff that is going to be added and he bailed.

NCAA tried as hard as they could to deny punishing USC, Petey and USC was the golden egg for NCAA, LA market badnwagoning the program, petey goes, now they pay the piper. The worst part, is that there is so much proof of wrong doing, yet the NCAA never even said a word about it. No SMU penalties, but i see 2-3 years of probation.

I see Riley as next head coach, unless Fisher really wants the gig, reported Bud Adams would let Fisher leave for USC, to get out of the contract fisher has(amazing, the guy is the reason the titans were div champs, been to super bowl, etc).

Hmmm, could this mean a return to the 90s for the Trojans?

If so, the shift of Pac-10 power might go back to Washington and UCLA. Time for SC to bust out the cardinal facemasks again.

Oregon and a different Cali team or Arizona would be my bet.

[Van]

Those cardinal facemasks really pissed me off.

[Terry in Crapchester]

<Raises hand and waves enthusiastically>

USC has a coaching vacancy? Pick me, pick me!!!!!

Sin,

[Van]

Hey, I'm not doing anything at the moment...

[TheJON]

Yeah, I remember seeing something a few months back that said Yahoo Sports has some shit on Petey they're going to unleash hell come Spring. I still don't think anything will happen but I guess we'll see in a few months. Maybe Pete knows something we don't know or maybe he just wants to prove he can win in the NFL.

[Van]

Didn't Charlie sign with the Chiefs as an OC a few days ago?

No idea. It was merely an attempt at gallows humor. What a perfect way it would be to cap such a splendiferous year, by having Pete leave, only to be replaced by Charlie. If not him, hey, why not this guy...

[campinfool]

John Mackovic would be a fine hire, with his wine skills he would be a perfect fit on the west coast

More fun info.

I'm kinda rooting for a Michigan Basketball style beat down on USC

[Killian]

I think he looks good in red.

[Terry in Crapchester]

Or maybe . . .



Schmick would have one helluva meltdown, that's for sure.

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

I wonder how all 26 of the USC fans are taking this news.

Schmick has no idea who this guy is.

Its not about cheating, but I would epxect a lot of stories to all of a sudden surface like this one, minor or major, now that he's leaving town. Funny how people just sit on stories for years until coaches/players leave and then start coming out of the woodwork...

[Van]

AAAEEEIII!! MY EYES!! MY FUGGEN EYES!!

[The Seer]

Been dodging all kinds of nuts, screws, axles, etc. on the freeways from those hastily disassembled bandwagons....


Also, Riley told them to fuckoff....looking like it might be Del Rio....

[The Seer]

Probably one of the most rewarding byproducts in all this is that the little snarky, arrogant freshman QB Barkley loses his sugar daddy and gets to spend the next couple years on probation with hopefully no TV, postseason, etc. etc.

pete finally left because he'd become so disillusioned with the laissez-faire use of painkillers under his watch that he wasn't fully responsible for.

While USC's comeback as an elite program in next few years is uncertain, one thing is certain: cal, oregon and those gutty little bruins will continue to be second tier programs.

[Diego in Seattle]

Hmmm, could this mean a return to the 90s for the Trojans?

If so, the shift of Pac-10 power might go back to Washington and UCLA.

Look for UCLA to have 2-3 strong years before Neuheisel jumps back to the NFL to escape another scandal.

You can take that to the bank.

USC is about to not be the cool thing to do in LA again.

How the hell do you think they're taking the news?

"Fuck dude, Pete is leaving"
"No shit?"
"Yeah, man this sucks"
"Yeah. What are we gonna do?"
"Go surfin' bra. Duh!"
"No, I mean what is USC gonna do?"
"Who cares man? They're so 2008. Surfs up"
"Fuckin' right surfs up braaaaaa!"

[indyfrisco]

Vindicated

I expect no mea culpas. Just absence. Which will be nice.

For those of us who have been throwing the lack of institutional control flag for quite some time...let's look at the timeline.

1. Many here blame.
2. Couple here defend.
3. Floyd/Mayo is outed
4. Floyd leaves
5. U$C receives a letter from the NCAA with the allegations they will face
6. Oh shit...U$C all of a sudden "self-penalizes" the basketball team for the Mayo incident hoping their football team will be left alone.
7. The poodle bails before the going gets tough

Shit's gonna hit the fan in Feb.

[SoCalTrjn]

7 million dollars a year is why Carroll left.
Dont fall in line with what the ferdies at yahoo are regurgitating. Nobody at or tied to USC ever gave Reggie anything and even what was allegedly provided for Reggies step dad was to get Reggie to leave USC and not play for USC. A school cant be held accountable for every single thing that every single one of its students step parents are involved with. The tebows recieved millions from gaytor supporters while tim was playing at florida, maybe Lamar Griffens mistake was that he wasnt smart enough to try to run his scheme under the government protection that comes with operating a myth pedalling operation like the tebows do.

[Killian]

So Carroll is a cheat, and a coward? Noted.

Shut the fuck up about Tebow until you provide a link you fucking douche bag. You're knowledge of this situation, or what's going on at USC is up there with your ability to not fuck with your kids head.

Both of my kids heads are great, they're both A students and great athletes.

Tebows daddies myth dealership made millions more after tim enrolled at florida than it did before, now that may be circumstancial it is more solid than any proof of Lamars wrong doing has ever been provided.

[Killian]

Post a link. Or anything, besides your stupid fucking nonsense.

Good to hear Lyle and Eric are doing well.

[TheJON]

I'm curious what the fuck he is talking about here. I have never heard anywhere anything about rumors of the Tebow family receiving money. Have you ever thought that maybe they receive money from............I dunno............a job!!??????????

OMG OMG! Tim Tebow's daddy works for a living!! He goes to work and gets paid!! OMG OMG! Florida cheats! Clearly this is compensation from a Florida booster!!
