Purdue is in last place at 0-4. I guess if you are going to suck, it’s better to do it with a lot of $$$$$$? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Joseph Moderator No. 56 Share Posted October 21 KUSC - Here in South Central The HIts Just Keep On Comin.' USC football collapses while Oregon is tops in US LBM Coaches Poll TROJANSWIRE.USATODAY.COM This is what football misery looks like at USC: Not only are the Trojans 3-4 and in bad shape, but Dan Lanning and Oregon are No. 1. It’s a worst-case scenario. Doctor! We're suffering from Puddles Paranoia. HELP! I wonder what the Grinch Who Stole Defense thinks about the SC stink?

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. I beg to differ. The final year of the conference that used to be excellent in football, was its best in a decade. In fact, while teams were beating each other up, none of them were like our two Natty contending OBD or Pete Carrol's super teams. The conference was mediocre on a talent level. They couldn't defeat blue bloods, or any other power, and nationally speaking, they were boring. Blue Blood, national contending football draws more eyeballs. That, and a great marketing department like Oregon has. That absolutely did not exist out West. To be the best you have to beat the best. Marketing, product, and reputation. Olympic Sports do not qualify. Look at the ratings for the teams formerly in the PAC12. Not impressive. Businessmen aren't in the charity business. That would be the Red Cross. And believe me, the PAC12 was a national disaster. That what happens when the Fuskies and USC sucks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cartm25 No. 61 Share Posted October 22 Excluding Dan Lanning, is there any coach that would make you nervous if USC were to acquire them? Ones that would make me nervous: - Curt Cignetti - Kalen DeBoer (if Bama pushes him out) - Deion Sanders - Matt Rhule Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeBoer would be a huge upgrade over Riley, as would Rhule. Indiana didn't plan on this kind of season when they hired Cignetti, they better have a new deal for him soon, he would get USC winning again, 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrw Moderator No. 63 Share Posted October 22 I have a feeling that in a few short years, USC will be so far in our rear view mirror that we won't even bother with the schadenfreude.

30Duck No. 65 Share Posted October 23 While I deplore U$C and their sycophants, like Cowherd and JFOK, I won't dismiss them. They won't ever be the Carroll teams again, but with a competent coach they'll be competitive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude is a scumbag but he wins everywhere he goes. Chris Petersen if he were willing to coach again. Obviously, really good coach. Hopefully, USC continues to look for former Trojans or the flashy hire despite the fact that two of their legendary head football coaches were Ducks. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
