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. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
30Duck No. 30 Share Posted Sunday at 01:33 PM 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, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Desert Duck No. 33 Share Posted Sunday at 03:09 PM (edited) 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.

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.

Triphibius No. 49 Share Posted Sunday at 07:58 PM 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! 1 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
