There will be great players coming in and perhaps this time, the Trojans will be much more careful about policing their program. I am hopeful that this won't just be a lesson for Southern California but one for all intercollegiate programs around the country.

He currently has a huge wad of mud on his face and it will take time for him to clean it off to be able to sell some of these recruits and their families.
Talented as hell? They were talented as hell last year and still lost 4 games, and ended up 5th in the PAC 10. They were drilled 47-20 and 55-21 by Oregon and Stanford.Hamp89;416327 wrote:You guys are nuts. They are still talented as hell. There is no way they drop that far off..

They also had a freshman QB last year who gained a ton of experience and should be better prepared for the upcoming season.

Now they have NOTHING to play for at all. Good luck motivating them at this point. Great teams have depth..which is something USC won't have for a LONG while with the loss of scholarships and others players leaving the program.

Wait and see. USC is in a world of hurt for a long while. Google Alabama and see how they did when they were slapped hard by the NCAA.

If anything they will be motivated as hell to stay near the top of the AP 25 because you know damn well the media will be talking about them all season if they play well. Not to mention Kiffin will have no problem keeping these guys firing and he's still recruiting damn well considering the circumstances. There is a shit load of pride and tradition at USC and you're just plain idiotic to think that the program will just disappear or completely fall off. They will get through this far better than many are hoping for.
It's better to be thought of as an idiot, than to open up your mouth and remove all doubt.centralbucksfan;418916 wrote:USC is a different monster? USC is this, USC is that.
