USC's Lincoln Riley literally has run out of answers. Uh-oh, sounds like Jimbo Fisher

Lincoln Riley proved he’s a smart coach, and USC has too much talent to stay mediocre, right? We said the same thing about Jimbo...

 

The best thing about this is that U$C can't afford to get rid of Riley. They're $tuck with him like the shiny sportscar that looked great in the showroom, but sputtered and choked when you turned the key.

There was an article recently that talked about Trojan fans skipping the game against the Huskies next week, the Trojans will have trouble getting anybody to watch tomorrow.

 

5:00 Game 1 World Series, Yankees vs. Dodgers

7:00 Phoenix Suns vs, Lakers

8:00 Rutgers @ USC

 

The Trojans game does start right after the Dodgers on Fox. but after sitting and watching baseball for 3 hours, how many of the "fans" are going to be inclined to start watching this game that won't end until after 11:00?

Maybe USC will look to join the SEC for more $$$$ so that they can buyout Coach Riley...

 

(The SEC would gain access to the LA market and another bottom dweller with a strong brand)

Clay Helton currently has a better record and a better shot (small as is may be) at getting Georgia Southern into the playoff than ol' Linc does 🤣

Not sure what a KIA forte is, but that might be overstating Riley’s impact at this point. However, I do know a RAV4 when I see one. 
 

Not to disparage any RAV4 owners here, they are a decent ride, just light on power.

As an Angeleno, I can say with certainty that NO ONE will be watching the spoiled children on Saturday. 

 

U$C football is not a thing here. 
 

I have friends in the bar business, and there is no amount of hype that will get attention for U$C.

Maybe the Dodgers-Yankees game will go extra innings and Rutgers @ U$C will be joined in progress.

Well, I guess that means that U$C football is not a thing anywhere. Except in the heads of pundits over the age of 40 and the sad fans on the U$C message boards.
