Posted October 20, 2024Oct 20 Are they feeling buyer’s remorse yet!? Maryland football rallies to stun USC, 29-28 WWW.BALTIMORESUN.COM After the Terps blocked a field goal attempt, Billy Edwards Jr. ran for a touchdown with 53 seconds left for an improbable win...
October 20, 2024Oct 20 Moderator Leaving work, I checked scores and saw the disappointing news that SUC was up by 14 in the fourth quarter. Then I get home and see this wonderful surprise!

October 20, 2024Oct 20 Moderator From TrojanWire It's Groundhog Day for USC, and after losing 29-28 to Maryland in College Park, USC fans want Lincoln Riley fired. They have had it with this coach. That doesn't mean Riley will be fired, but it does mean the head coach is plainly failing at his job. Let's process yet another all-too-familiar USC loss in 2024, with Trojan fans wanting Lincoln Riley gone:

They already had those guys.
October 20, 2024Oct 20 Someone forgot to tell USC not to fall on the grenade they used to blow up the Pac-12.

Lanning wouldn't want to go to a school with a history of coaching failures. Coaches that failed there first and succeeded elsewhere , now a coach that succeeded elsewhere first and failed there.

They saw the writing on the wall well ahead of all of us. We should get down on our knees and thank USC. Not a popular opinion, but C Suite Larry took his best shot (at Texas and Oklahoma), and it was curtains for West Coast football after that. Didn't help that the most brilliant College Presidents in the history of mankind promoted Olympic Sports like they paid the bills. I'm glad the PAC 12 is dead. Served those arrogant hoots the perfect dish of humiliation. Thank you USC. You saved OBD from football oblivion.

October 20, 2024Oct 20 I don't think anybody has to worry about usuc stealing their coach, not with a 88 million dollar buyout.

Served those arrogant hoots the perfect dish of humiliation. Thank you USC. You saved OBD from football oblivion. By all accounts, Texas would have joined the PAC-12, if we let them keep their network. Now that we’re halfway through the season, is the B1G that much better than the PAC-12? I’ve enjoyed the mid-season big time matchups with the super conferences but there are still some really bad football teams in the B1G and SEC. Why do those programs continually to get a pass? The PAC-12 also had some really exciting offenses, and QBs, and I do miss the regional aspect and traditional rivalries. It’s too bad that college football couldn’t find a way to keep regional conferences while also ensuring exciting big time games throughout the season.
October 20, 2024Oct 20 Moderator From ClutchPoints At separate points, USC led 21-7 and 28-14. Maryland cut the score to 28-22 with just under 10 minutes to go in the fourth quarter. The Trojans had a chance to put it away with a score late in the game, but Michael Lantz missed a 41-yard field goal with two minutes left in the game. Five plays later, Maryland was in the end zone and took a 29-28 lead with 53 seconds left. USC's last drive failed just outside of field goal range, sealing the latest heartbreaking loss. With USC at 3-4 overall and 1-4 in conference, the Trojans will have to close the season strong to gain bowl eligibility. In all the excitement, USC at UW is in two weeks, next is Rutgers @ USC, kickoff is 8:00 PST,

Just think, Usuc could have hired Lanning instead of Riley in Nov. of 2021. I guessing that they wish could have a do over at this point. Edited October 20, 2024Oct 20 by florida duck

There was nothing wrong with that Pac-12 football product... It needed a team to elevate into the national title picture sure but from an entertainment standpoint nothing wrong with it. There was everything wrong with its branding. Being relegated to late night didn't help our legitimacy in the eyes of the east coast who have a lot of say in what happens in the post season.
October 20, 2024Oct 20 USC, now 3-4, has lost four games by an average of 3.5 points per game. That must seriously suck big time for them. Perhaps the Weed Eater Bowl is in their future. USC - Welcome to the B1G, and into the true Lincoln Riley era. Edited October 20, 2024Oct 20 by Desert Duck

There was everything wrong with the Pac-12 management, and the university sycophants, that for decades propped up the crap management. I'm thankful & grateful that we got out on our life raft and into the B1G, but it is such a shame that the powers-that-be destroyed our beloved, and historic, Pac-12.

Lanning wouldn't touch that yester-year program with a 10ft pole. USC, located in lovely South Cental LA, is where coaches who pretend they know how to coach, go to die.

October 20, 2024Oct 20 Moderator Nuck! Nuck! Nuck! 🤣 'You call THIS a Report Card!' USC football report card for Maryland shows too much average play TROJANSWIRE.USATODAY.COM If you have been reading our USC football report card after every game this season, the Maryland report card is going to be very familiar. This is depressing.
October 20, 2024Oct 20 Moderator More 'Home Town' Love For Stinkin' Lincoln. 😁 Lincoln Riley’s math on 4th down was right, but his heart was wrong TROJANSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Lincoln Riley’s decision to kick a field goal on 4th and 1 was not his worst decision ever, but it was still bad for reasons which do need to be explained.

October 20, 2024Oct 20 Beware the Tarmac, Mr. Riley. As far as I am concerned, it could not happen to nicer people. I hope they experience several more seasons of this. To be clear my animus is not against Riley (although he may be a jerk for all I know), nor against USC's fans (to whom the same applies), but to their President and Athletic Department, who betrayed their long-time PAC-12 partners. Be careful what you wish for, Trojans. Beware of Midwesterners bearing gifts!
