Watching Alabama, the size, speed and pursuit on defense in a year that was supposed to be rebuilding, has got to be disheartening to everyone else. It reminds me of Pete’s best defenses that would just fly to the ball. They improved at just the right time. You couple that with a big, well coached offensive line that opens running lanes and allows Young to have plenty of time to throw, and it just amazes me that they don’t skip a beat, year after year, no matter how many players and coaches move on. I hope we can create something… Read more »

Well Ucla cancelled their game pissing off the NC St staff. Oregon probably wished that their game had been cancelled. Wazzu/Miami will be a snoozefest (probably). If ASU can’t stop the Wisconsin run game, it will be a long day for the Devs. Utah may hang for a half in Pasadena but Ohio St should pull away in the 2nd half. Overall, not looking good at all for the Pac-12.

It is really obvious the ncaa didn’t give a lot of forethought to the effects of the portal on teams and the players themselves. I cannot understand why a team can only take 7 from the portal even though they may have lost 12 to it. A change needs to occur quickly that will allow teams to restore the number lost because now there are not enough slots to take in the number in the portal. They don’t need to cover all the available players, some I am sure are just not worth taking. There should also be a window… Read more »

Christmas is the season of Hope. For the first time in more than a decade, we Trojans actually have genuine cause for optimism about our football program. Past seasons, our hopes for success were only backed up with BS from our poor leadership—and we would inevitably be disappointed by their lack of effective action. Our hopes would crash and burn.

But now we have hopes that can come true. God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen (and gentlewomen) of Troy.

Just expect a slow building process with a possible winning season next year.
But Helton left the cupboard close to bare.
If there is a great recruiting class next year Coach Riley can start rebuilding.
Just to be in CFP would be great.

They can also sign up to 7 players from the portal as long as that number does not exceed the number of players from their own team who transferred out using the portal. Any additional players that are signed become grey shirts. Grey shirts cannot practice or play until the end of the football system (spring semester).

The Pac 12 is so weak and Oregon and Washington are unkowns at this point. Right now we can say SC has the best head coach in the conference. I’m looking at the number of new faces by summer.

Pro football focus has our line as the #1 graded in the country. How? What?

Looking at all of the bowl matchups, I might root for Utah, but I hope NC State can cream the baby bears. 🐻 If Ucla was playing Ohio State (another team I don’t care for) I’d still root for Ohio State.
Football is going to be different next season with all of the coaching changes. I don’t see LSU improving or ND staying on top of their game. It’s not hard to imagine SC getting better and UCLA going in circles. I’m buying tickets next season. (Cheap seats for sure but I’ll be there)

DTR always regresses, I anticipate that he will again.

It’s what he does best: Hire recently fired coaches and leftover recruits and rave about what he has done.

Rinse, and repeat…Rinse, and repeat. This coaching club really takes care of its own.

Appropriate. Fresno, home of the homeless.

That move by Tedford makes him look like the Edselford.

We picked our teams through all the bowl games and we are doing horrible. It seems some teams are just having to much fun to play serious football. It is insanity to bet on football bowl games until New Years when things tend to get serious.

Those old helmets–look like they wouldn’t help much. Dig that QB single bar facemask!

If Pickett is leaving, which I would think he is, this is a good place for Slovis and I hope he has great success. I think he deserves it.

Didn’t another of our QB castoffs in the past head to Pitt? Max Browne? Didn’t have much luck as I recall….
