And that is not to mention players like Reggie Bush who got hundreds of thousands of dollars from boosters while attending school... the word is that the NCAA has found a lot of problems going on with this at USC and it is just a matter of time before it all gets exposed.
Im saying this and I actually like USC and Pete Carroll...but something seems to stink in their recruiting methods.

And to hell with the Raiders and the Rams; they ****ed us over when both teams left. It's always around this time of year that fair weather fans like Tom Cruise, Steven Spielberg and David Geffen decry, "We need a pro football team in L.A," like those three know the first thing about the beauty of a goal line stance.
Excuse me, but aren't The Galaxy a pro "football" team. 
In any event, I'm a San Diego (Super) Chargers fan, (back from way back in the Fouts/Correal days). Want to go further? Let's talk about Kenny Stabler.
In the meantime, fight on, you gutsy Trojans. And here's to hoping the Bruins can get their crap together for 2009.  |
Interesting comments from the other side. Folks were saying 'Bama could be in for a let down, looks like it happened. As far as over-rated... Can we say Notre Dame??? Why do you think they lost 9 straight bowl games? They've been overated for years. Penn St.? Over-rated? They started the season like 20th in the country, about right. They 'worked' they're way to the top ten where they deserved to be. Yeah their defense let them down and like I said earlier Sanchez had a lights out game.
It's all good, (shhhhhh.... I'm beginning to think Joe Pa should maybe let go also
)
