    Hoo-boy! Trojan fans have their skirts blown up over a comment Lanning made at the B1G Media days...

    (The word is that Pregnon is the one who called Oregon--because he didn't want to play at SC anymore...)

    Trojan Fans Say...

    "Not sure if others saw the interview but DL is one weird dude. He just seems slow of brain power."

    "Isn't this the definition of the pot calling the kettle black?"

    "Translation: 'I’ll keep doing it until you stop me.”

    "LOL! Dan is funny."

    "Careful what you ask for Danny boy!!!!"

    "I agree that Oregon has always been shady and cheater mother truckers, and Lanning and his crew seemed to have taken it to another level. Only way to deal with that is for USC to get better at everything, and beat the living crap out of the Ducks on regular basis. Oregon has had free rein for a long time in the under the table, shady tactics with Nike connection. Hopefully, with the new NIL, it will level the playing field against these a-holes."


    These haters are spinning conjecture like it’s their full-time job, but it’s really just free advertising for OBD. Every time they rant about Lanning or the Ducks, it’s like they’re secretly in the fan club and don’t know it yet. You can practically feel the jealousy dripping off their posts... the same kind of energy you get when someone realizes their flip phone can’t keep up with a smartphone. Keep it up, folks… we appreciate the unpaid hype team.

    The interesting thing about USC’s situation is that it’s a reflection of how college football’s power dynamics have changed, not just a commentary on one program’s struggles. For years, USC could rely on name recognition and local talent pipelines to sustain dominance. But NIL deals, the transfer portal, and national recruiting strategies have flattened the playing field. Programs like Oregon, TCU, K State, Utah, and even schools like Liberty or Coastal Carolina have built cultures that prioritize development, continuity, and innovative coaching over simply relying on historic prestige.

    If anything, USC’s mediocrity isn’t just about Lincoln Riley’s performance... it’s about an outdated assumption that tradition alone can carry a program in a modern, hyper-competitive environment. The sport now rewards adaptability, humility, and alignment between coaches, players, and administration. Look at Oregon under Lanning: there’s a sense of identity, both on and off the field, that feels like it’s built for the next decade. USC seems to be clinging to the past, hoping that talent alone will be enough.

    Maybe USC’s biggest challenge isn’t coaching or talent ... it’s cultural. Do they have the patience and vision to reinvent themselves in a way that reflects the future of the sport? Or are they content to rely on the ghosts of Pete Carroll’s era, hoping lightning strikes twice?

     You won the natty which is a great accomplishment and testament to being the best, but did you really underperform?  Was it Chip Kelly to the rescue?  

    I firmly believe that it was CK's involvement that brought Day his first championship. Look what Chip was able to do at Oregon, with far less tallent. Ryan Day may have made the best decision of his career to bring Chip on board, but it might also be the ultimate telling, seeing how Chipper is gone now, so the one off with Chip might say in the future all we need to know about Ryan Day. 

    OBD will get there the right way under DL. 🪿

    Well that was... something. I'll take the win, but our offense needs to figure stuff out this week and become more on par with our defense. 

     

    I will say that I'm very proud of OBD for fighting through adversity and sticking it out to get the win. Even though it was a close game it was still a good learning experience, and there will be many lessons learned. 

     

    Game ball should be split between the defense and Atticus Sappington. 🦆

     

    Now let's hope they fix that offense up so when they face the mutts in 2 weeks they can light them up at home, and Dan will get his first win against the purple puppies. 

     

     Let's Go Ducks!!
