Because #5 in a road game at #12 isn’t all that interesting
By which logic you have to scratch your head at ESPN’s Game Day choice of a #18 against a non top 25 team.

I’m good with the Oreo crumb unis, but another away combo I’ve always liked are the white jerseys w/green numerals, yellow pants and yellow (or green) helmets. Very clean, down to business look.

Based on what the Sun Devils’s offense sprung on UCLA, Dilly is probably looking to light a fire under his team and the fans by using similarly unexpected alignments on us. As dominant as his defense was against the Bruins, he know there is no comparison between Chip’s offense and ours. That’s why his only hope for an upset is squarely on his offense executing the unexpected on us.

Have we ever won wearing seagull splatter- er, eggshell?
If memory serves, we beat UCLA in the Rose Bowl the year this uni was introduced.

Not to worry. I was always the one asking dumb questions in class.

In your instruction on how to add a link to an article into an OBD post, your ‘enter’ instruction references PC and Mac. How is this accomplished on an iPad?

No elite program stays that way without having to survive periodic hard times. The difference between USC and many other blue bloods is found in how they approach, and what they do during those periods.
Those that find their way back to the top do so with a hard, self-critical reinvention of themselves, as opposed to the Trojans who avoid looking in the mirror, and settling for make-over after make-over (Helton being a temporary exception).
It’s tough, long term work that requires letting go of the past in order to get a program back on track.
The most successful at making this transition are typically found in smaller, university-centered communties where a lack of distractions make them the only game in town — neither condition of which describes where and how USC operates.
There was a time when USC knew how to do the hard work. But not now. Now they just seem mesmerized by the Hollywood mystique of replacing reality with fantasy; substance with image.
Yes. You reap what you’ve sowed.

A close listen to Taggert’s and Cristobal’s answers compared to Lanning’s shows the first two throw the question back at the asker (the use of ‘you’), while DL owns his answer by referencing only himself.
Like people with hidden agendas that get caught in their own lies, they defensively deflect, while DL doesn’t hide behind his answer because he has nothing to offer but the truth.

The pressure of higher expectations from last year, for everyone, has certainly climbed. And, unlike receivers who run a bad route or drop a pass, kickers have no quarterback to go back and talk it over with. It’s all on them.
You might compare his mental situation to that of soccer players assigned penalty shoot out kicks. You can see the ones who get the job done never over think it. They just go out and execute — head down, cold execution.
I don’t know if Camden is over thinking it or not, but it makes me uncomfortable every time this year seeing him out there during time outs kicking at air.

Enjoying all the Trojan ribbing as much as the next, but in the back of my mind, there’s a nagging thought that won’t go away: this is a team with nothing left to lose.

I’m with you Charles regarding our offense, but I think what impresses me most about this team is being 11th in the country limiting scores against arguably the best group of quarterbacks in the nation.

Killer Bees. What’s not to like?

It’s rumored that the first 1000 fans through the turnstiles will receive a Caleb Williams bobble head hugging a puppy dog.

I choose not to rely on any image DL projects, just the results on the field, and so far I’ve really got nothing to complain about.

The only upside for college football of a player of William’s importance quitting is the outrage it would cause, leading to a more decisive review and overhaul of NIL and the rules governing the transfer portal.

Stuff the Ute’s run game in SLC, box-up Williams at Autzen, and be ready for anything in the Civil War. But, please oh please, don’t forget about Cal and ASU! Then we can start thinking about Lost Wages.

As always, check your source. The flagship media company for the SEC will probably grab any opening to downgrade the value of west coast contenders, which can only enhance their primary investment teams’ chances at the brass ring.

All of the above plus the mongrel masses in the stadium sounded more like a Stanford crowd until the last couple of minutes.

Cognitive_dissonance posted that he’d booked a room in El Paso. Probably should move his res from Dec to next week so he can enjoy the Dia De Los Muertos parade which should feature his team with a float.

What Happened to Innovative Chip?
in Our Beloved Ducks
Posted
Everything Chip did had been around before in one form or another. He just put them altogether at the right time and place to capture that ‘lightning in a bottle’. Mike saw what he was; an X’s & O’s guy, an OC - period. It was the rest of us that mistook that for ‘genius’.
You can’t fault Chip for taking advantage of what others mistakenly thought he was.
