A Dissenting Opinion On Uniform Change

I give Su’a Cravens credit. Even though he works for USC on its Coliseum pre-game and post-game radio shows, he isn’t afraid to say what he thinks.

Even when USC is promoting its awful yellow tights that are being worn by some players and now Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey.

“I hate em!!! Bring thw Red Tights.”

As you can see, Cravens’ colleague Max Browne is more diplomatic.

Remember Mike Gillespie’s rule: “There is a reason it is called a uniform. It means `alike’ “

  2. The jackass who got tackled by Rams LB Bobby Wagner during MNF has filed a police report and wants Wagner charged with assault!

    Yes, we can all guess (correctly) who that pussy/victim voted for.

      2. slo cal goes down to a lingerie store and picks out a sheer little number for his wife(shar pei)

        At home after their anniversary dinner, he gives her the lingerie and tells her to go try it on.

        The old lady goes into the bathroom to change, but then says to herself, “That old fart is blind as a bat, I’m just gonna come out wearing nothing at all.”

        She steps back into the bedroom, and he looks her up and down, then he frowns and says,”For fifty bucks, I’d have thought they’d iron it.”……

        He’s a limp-dick anyway. Last anniversary, he bought her a diblo, the Melania special!

    3. So Cal,

      I was listening to Rodger Lodge on KLAA 830 AM yesterday on the way from work. He had Sweet James Bergner (lawyer) on and Rodger asked James if there was a case. He said there could be with the jackass as the plantiff and Wagner, the NFL, and 49ners, and Rams as the defendant. However, he believes the judge would throw it out. I thought Bergner would have said that there was no case due tresspassing, not following NFL policy as a fan, and for being stupid. Too bad jackass wasn’t hit so hard tha they would have had to bring out the stretcher. Reminds me of the dodger thugs who took an American flag on the dodger dump field and tried buring it. The nice thing was that it was Rick Monday, from Santa Monica, ASU, and with the Chicago Cubs that stopped it.

  3. In agreement.
    As long as the team is playing TEAM ball (and they are) and WINNING (and they are) then let some folks wear matching leggins. This argument is churlish. Limits should be set on how/what a player may do to personalize his look, and advertising outside of the School’s contracted adverts MUST BE prohibited (NIL not-withstanding).

    I recall the days when we had to keep our “shirts tucked in.” Indeed, there were buttons on the shirt-tails so you could wrap the shirt under the package to keep the shirt from coming untucked (bad idea).
    Ricky (Gray) Ellison played like a banshee and could never keep his shirt tucked in. He pretty much got away with it.

    My friends–and you are–the days of black shoes, long white socks and a standard uniform are long past on the West Coast.

    The good news in the post is that maybe the towel-wavers go bye-bye?

    1. Bourbon: I know your right. This is minor stuff. But I can’t imagine Ellison, Del Rio, Budde, Munoz, the Matthew boys, Allen, Lott, White, Seau, Tatupu, Polomalu, ect. wearing yellow leggings. And, that’s the point. The Trojan brand is of a warrior, conquering army, gladiator and warriors don’t wear yellow, feminine looking leggings. It detracts from the brand. We put the sword into the field before the game. We don’t pose for a photo shoot during fashion week.

      2. Gabby: When you played o line on a college football team, did you wear leggings? What team did you play for and what year. Do you have any documentation that would support your contention that you played ball at that level- photos, clippings, ect. A lot of us have concluded your a bs artist.

      4. That’s fine Gabby. None of us really believed you when you said that you played college football. And now when you have been confronted with the lie, twice, and asked to confirm that you did not play college ball, you responded by pretending to be confused by the question/statement thereby suggesting that you never made it. Another lie. You have a well documented history on this blog of lying, making up facts (78 judges found . . .), and embellishing facts all in a desperate attempt to make yourself look good to yourself and others. It is really pathetic. You must be a very sad, lonely, and insecure person. This is just my opinion. Don’t take it to heart. After all, according to you, I am a stupid, racist, “road apple.’

    2. Bourbon4me,

      I remember SC had the home uniforms, the same helmet, the same black shoes, and white ankle high socks with their mouth piece. They made the Green Bay Packers look like pussies with Ray Nitchke when they looked that way. They were dominating. And you are right, the great playes did not want the crap that the newer playes want to wear. Fooball was more important and doing their job and dominating their opponent meant the world to them. Get back to basics.

    1. In Utah, the Bruins fold like cheap laundry.
      In LA, I kinda get that feeling that the DTR, Charbonnet, and the Chipper get a signature win. If DTR throws 2 picks, UCLA loses.
      If DTR throws 0 picks, UCLA wins.

  6. SC needs D-Linemen badly. Even though most of the good ones are already committed, you can still bring them in. What you do is flip them like they did with the O-tackle from ND. Of course, you need to keep winning to get them to flip. They’ll flip especially if the school that they are committed to is not winning.
    Back in 2012 Lane Kiffin had one of the greatest recruiting classes ever for 2013. He had 14 players who played in the All-American game in San Antonio. I don’t think any team had ever had that many. But then the 2012 team(which many preseason polls had them #1) started to lose. Instead of winning the NC, they went 7-6 and lost to Georgia Tech in the sun bowl( I still don’t understand what happened to that team). More than half of those recruits de-committed(Jalen Ramsey was one of them). Keep winning and we can still flip some great D-Linemen.

    1. What happened to the 2012 team? They lost their left tackle …and Matt got beat up at Stanford….and finished off by UCLA…..he didn’t play in the Sun Bowl …and the team couldn’t get behind poor Witteck …who had to [try to] throw in 40 mile an hour winds —with the expected results…. Georgia Tech just ran the ball down our throats all day long….

      1. Correct me if I’m wrong. Wasn’t that the game where one of the assistant coaches(running backs, can’t recall his name) gave Kiffin a nice “shiner” and he wore sunglasses during the game to conceal it

      3. Yes!…..that name sounds right. As I recall, the game was a disaster from the QB standpoint. It was embarrassing to watch the effort or lack of from the team.

        I also think, there were some incidences of physical fighting between a few of the players.

        Kiffin basically had lost the team at that point. With his current maturity, I think the behavior of all involved would have been different.

        I put a lot of blame on Kiffin for the debacle

      4. Losing Matt Kahlil was a factor(he was an all american tackle) but I don’t think it was the main factor. I’m still not sure why that team fell apart. But there was one play that was a key factor. SC was ahead in that game 28-13 with 5 minutes left. I think SC was on their own 30 yard line. Barkley went back to pass on 3rd down and Robert Woods was wide open(the DB had fallen down). There was no ASU player within 25 yards of him. But Barkley threw it 10 yards over his head. That would have been a sure TD putting SC ahead 35-13 with not much left in the 3rd quarter. As a result Arizona came back and won. Had SC won, they would have been 7-1 for the season. SC lost 4 out of their next 5 games.

      5. It was a combination of things, Gabby. First we lost a great left tackle [can’t recall his name] to the NFL. He got replaced by Aundrey Walker —nice guy but a disaster when it came to picking up the blitz. As a result Barkley got slaughtered all season long [he wasn’t exactly in the same category as Caleb when it came to fast feet]. Then our #1 receiver [can’t remember his name either] tried to get in a fight with Barkley in the locker before the game for leaving the team in the hands of Witteck. Then Kennedy suggested, cuz of the bad winds swirling around the shit Sun Bowl stadium, that maybe we abandon the game plan and try to out-physical Georgia Tech and Kiffin smart mouthed him in front of the team —- BOOM! — black eye.
        Not the best set of circumstances. Georgia Tech took advantage of a demoralized team …and really showed disrespect in the 4th quarter by shoving our guys after the whistle on almost every play.
        I hope we get to return the favor someday.

      6. Parcelman — I remember that throw. I think Matt, who has small hands, didn’t get a good grip on that ball… it really looked like one of those throws where you didn’t have control of the ball before it left your hand…..

      9. He may be a slap duck and a goat boy but he’s a really outstanding coach. Since he left SC he has been 46-21 as HC coach at Florida Atlantic and Mississippi. Also, he was the DC at Alabama for 3 years and he was 40-4 and made the playoffs every year and won it in 2015.

  7. SC needs to throw the ball against WSU. Their pass defense stinks. I think that they are around 113th in the nation. But their run defense is good. I think that they are around 19th in the nation against the run.

    1. For all of the Off Season concern that Riley was total Air Raid, SC has 167 Pass Attempts and 169 Rushing Attempts. Plus/Minus a few on each for when Williams takes off and runs. Not Mike Leach like by any means.

    2. Grinch and Riley have already figured out what to do against these guys. They have a great d-line…but their linebackers and d-backs totally suck….so expect lots of quick throws [10-15 yard variety]. On defense expect lots of blitz packages —their o-line plays more confused football than ours does.
      We SHOULD be able to exploit Washington State’s vulnerabilities big time.

      I hope you are wrong. I don’t want them to go into the SC game with 2 loses. A loss to SC would really be the end of the season for this Utah team that had such high aspirations, especially in what some people are saying is Kyle Whittinghams last season.

  9. The purpose of the UNI is so that there are no “Individuals” trying to stand out through personal expression.White or black socks have always shown the Trojan identity – you play for the team (that’s why everybody looks the same.) It’s kinda like old John Wooden said late in his career about the style of play at the time. He said, “I’m afraid the league is full of a bunch of ‘look at me’ players.”

    As they stroll down the Coliseum tunnel on Saturday afternoon, USC football players will have the option of putting a McDonald’s Golden Arches sticker on their helmets (and get a coupon for a free Big Mac)…and also have “Xavier the LA Street Artist” paint their name on the back of their jersey — in graffiti font!
