A week or so ago, I decided to write an article disputing an “advantage” that a very good writer and fan of the fighting Irish offered as a factor in my Trojans seven-year run of victories over Notre Dame. When I decided to take this on, I did it fully expecting ...Lou Holtz: The Myopic Domer Homer

I had an opportunity to watch College Game Day Live today. On the show, they had Lou Holtz on the phone to discuss the Fighting Irish and their prospects for the upcoming season. Lou said all the right things if you are a Notre Dame fan. He talked about how the Irish ...Laying the Foundation: USC Recruiting (Five-Star Offers, Part One)

After a few days of back and forth resulting from my last article questioning the validity of Notre Dame's fans offering of purported advantages that the Trojans enjoy in their recent run of domination, we now get back to recruiting.

Unlike many Trojan fans, I don’t take any particular joy in the trials and tribulations that Notre Dame has experienced in the last two years. The Trojan-Irish rivalry is so much better when each team is good and a good record for both teams should be desired by fans of each ...Laying the Foundation: USC Recruiting, 2009 (Verbal Commits, Part Two)

In Part One of “Laying the Foundation: Verbal Committments, Part 1,” we looked at a couple of linemen and a kicker.

Today that changes when we examine the rest of the 2009 Trojan verbal ...Laying the Foundation: USC Recruiting, 2009 (Verbal Commitments, Part One)

When we “peeked into the future,” (see here and here) we saw, based on graduations and need for position depth, various areas that would be the focus of USC’s recruiting efforts in 2009. Those needs have already begun to be reflected in the verbal commitments that the Trojans have received thus ...Laying the Foundation: USC Football Recruiting in 2009 (Part Two)

For much of this decade, Pete Carroll and the USC Trojans have been near or at the top of the high school football recruiting rankings. Year after year, the Trojans haul in four- and five-star recruits, just itching for the chance to play for Carroll and the Trojans. During their recruiting process, ...Laying the Foundation: USC Football Recruiting in 2009

The one constant in the Pete Carroll era of USC football is, well, Pete Carroll. Players come and go. Coaches too. But Pete Carroll stays and he builds. His enterprising handiwork has resulted in a mind-boggling set of statistics. Seven straight Pac 10 titles either won outright or shared. Seven straight ...Peek into the Future: USC Football in 2010 (Defense And Special Teams)
Published on: 3rd July, 2009
When we last peered into our crystal ball, we found that the Trojan offense, despite losing several key players, still had a lot to look forward to in 2010. The Trojan defense, so young in 2009, will be seasoned in 2010. Those new linebackers, replacing the triumvirate that took their game ...Peek into the Future: USC Football in 2010 (Offense)

Excitement is building for this year’s version of the Men of Troy. How will the Trojans defense look after losing so many starters? How will Aaron Corp do replacing Mark Sanchez? Or will Matt Barkley become the first freshman quarterback to start for Pete Carroll? These are but a few questions the ...Featured Sponsors
