WINNERS
Jacobe Covington
The Washington cornerback transferred to USC. He had four tackles and a sack in five games last season for the Huskies.
Lincoln Riley
I wonder if the USC coach knows Dave Roberts is a Bruin.
James Hong
A star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and a new hit movie (Everywhere All At Once) at age 93.
Jim Mora
Has second child graduate from USC. Remember, Rick Neuheisel has a law degree from USC.
Ann Curry
Delivered graduation address at USC School of Medicine.
Brad Kaaya
Former Miami QB earned master’s from USC.
Lauren Teruya
The newly crowned Miss Hawaii has a bachelor’s and master’s degree from USC.
LOSERS
Stupid Lists
This one omits Don Mosbar, Marvin Powell, Roy Foster, Jeff Bregel to name just a few. And I’d include them over some USC players on this list.
USC-Rice game
Wondering now what kick off time will be for Sept. 3 opener and what temperature will be that day? No early kickoff please. Can you name a Rice player without looking it up? Or the coach?
Andy Enfield
You know he’s crossing his fingers Boogie Ellis doesn’t impress NBA teams at workouts. Let’s not forget Enfield said a week after season Ellis was definitely coming back and now he’s working out for NBA teams.
USC baseball
Dropped 2 of 3 to Washington in final home series of the season.
Lindsay Gottlieb
Apparently can’t sign high school players so going strictly with transfer portal.

USC-Rice kickoff? I could go for a 9 am kickoff similar to season opener of 2020 vs ASU.

I only state this because some sucla on the blog brought up the supposed biggest mistake of Pete’s pro career by passing and not giving the ball to The Beast in the final seconds of the 2014 Super Bowl
To jog our memories, the situation was The Beast had been running roughshod through New England on the way to what looked like the winning drive. Faced with second and about 2-yards Carroll opted to pass instead of run, and the ball was picked off.
Pete has insisted through the years that it was a well-thought out decision. His reasoning was with a second down and one timeout if he passed into the end zone and it was incomplete, he would have a
3rd down and the timeout remaining. If 3rd down was a bust he would use that timeout to preserve his 4th down.
Otherwise, you run The Beast on 2nd down, he fails to get in, and then you have to use your last timeout, so it is all or nothing on 3rd down because you won’t get a 4th down.
Mathematically it made sense. Perhaps the matter should be put to rest

John, here’s my take: It was the right call… to the wrong receiver. When I watched that play in real time I couldn’t believe the way the receiver put out his hands like he was playing catch with his dad in the backyard — to score on that play he needed to fight for the fucking ball —which meant bulldozing past the defender and snatching the ball outta the air –not waiting for it to float into his hands.

True, Michael, and we shouldn’t give the quarterback a pass for a lazy pass.
I don’t look to the past very often, but Pete’s critics keep bringing up that play so it makes me a bit mad.

I feel the exact same way. If the play had been executed properly Pete wins the game and everybody calls him the greatest genius in NFL history —-but it was executed real NON perfectly so Pete’s an idiot….

LOL LJ, Woody Hayes turned out to be correct; Little Petey Pom-Pom turned into the Seattle SB GOAT loser. And the ball was spotted more or less on the 1 yard line. R. Wilson that year rushed 118 times for 849 yards. Do the arithmetic LJ – student body left or right with Lynch or Wilson wins the game.
Face it LJ, there was zero reason for Little Petey to get stupid cute on the 1 yard line and blow the game. Little Petey isn’t a Caesar, he’s a horse’s ass.

Got to put a plug in for baseball excitement. Imagine the Dodgers’ frustration and humiliation of having lost to an average Philly team 3 games in a row in front of your home fans, and down to your last out in a 4-3 losing game.
Then a triple, and a walk, and a bases clearing double for a 5-4 victory. I watched the ending several times and to see the Dodgers and fans leaping for joy made my evening.

Scooter,
the oline list is a joke. How can Ogdon be the first? He wona a rose bowl. However, did they have an ugly tailback run right behind a left tackle consecutively on the final drive in a Rose Bowl game? Did they have an olinemen win a national championship and help win the Hesiman? Was he a two time All American? Did he play in Super Bowls? The answer to that is no. Now, I see on the list several SC linemen that have done that. Munoz, Yary, and others. So as far as Ogeon is concerned, he needs to go to the bottom of the list. The dude who wrote it does not know PAC 10-PAC12 football. He needs to look at tape and see the difference.
