Morning Buzz: USC Spinsters Compare Trojans To Alabama

When I wrote Sunday about how foolish it was to compare this season to last season, I should have known the athletic dept. would embrace this argument.

And here it is:

“I beg you.”

This is what life is about for some inside the USC bubble. Spinning. And it doesn’t end with the retirement of Tim Tessalone.

I can tell you from first-hand reports this week the coaches are not begging anyone to recognize their achievements. They are more upset about last weekend’s game with Cal and trying to figure out how to beat UCLA (and Notre Dame).

I cringe at any USC-Alabama comparisons. Do you think we would have such a comparison today if USC’s schedule had the Trojans going to Tennessee and LSU in a three-week span? Do you think Lincoln Riley wants that schedule?

So like I said Sunday, there’s plenty to enjoy about being 8-1. But if you want to align yourself with the fanboy, state-approved spin in the tweet above and start trying to bring Alabama into the argument, you too deserve a job in the athletic dept.

  • If you were worried USC basketball might lose two games in a row, the Trojans play Alabama State on Thursday night at the Galen Center. Alabama State lost to Alabama-Birmingham, 111-70, on Monday.

  1. Honesty is always the best policy. Do realistic USC fans really think we would now be competitive against national championship ranked teams…cmon now man.

    If SC does wins out by beating the buffs, the clowns of ugly, the fairies of nd, and the peking ducks, then and only then can they say that they MIGHT be better than bama. SC has not proved or earned that thought for a long time.

  6. Surprisingly enough Riley mentioned the offensive players were close to returning, but nothing in the article I read mentioned the defensive players.
    I wonder if that’s because ankle sprains are hard to recover from or he’s being coy. I would swear I saw Gentry out for warm ups Saturday, but when they came out to the field I couldn’t locate him. Of course if my seats weren’t so cheap I might have been able to find the Trojans bench in my binoculars ( a joke to myself because I don’t bring them anymore with those giant screen TVs at the coliseum )

      1. Pasadena, I know what you mean about ankle sprains. I sprained my left ankle many times and “walked it off” and one day I stepped off a curb and rolled the ankle. I heard a pop. I thought it was another sprain and I could walk it off. My wife was all, “I heard it pop, you broke it” to shut her up I went to urgent care.
        It was broken at the growth plate. The Dr. said, “If you sprain your ankle multiple times, and don’t let it heal correctly it will eventually break.” I only had one left foot instead of the two I was born with was the running joke.

      2. Ghost,

        I was at Pasadena City College as a full time student. I had to take a PE class which was outdoor volleyball on a grass field. We we palying and I went up to spike the ball and half of my foot landed on ground and the other half landed in a deep dtich. I spraind my ankle and I was out for 6 weeks. It was a high ankle sprain.

  10. There is no comparison to the teams in the top 15!!

    SC was 4 and 8 last year and is a recipient of an easy soft schedule. If Helton or Donte was HC, SC would be 4 and 5 or 5 and 4, fighting to make a bowl game this Friday.

    Stop the nonsense and relish in SC becoming relevant and in the conversation.

  11. I think the problem with Scott’s take on things is that he cant just be a fan, he feels that he needs to highlight all the shortcomings of the USC program, because if he doesn’t, noone will do anything to fix them.

    I know I often post for that exact same reason.

    This syndrome comes from years in inept athletic directors and Heritage Hall being horrible. Unfortunately, there are still quite a few parts of the USC athletic programs that are screwed up.

    My prime concern at the moment is this insane desire to control all NIL deals. NIL is a dirty game and it is much smarter to allow boosters to set up an NIL and then go hard after athletes with money. You cant compete with top programs unless you are willing to do this. When the collectives are not controlled by USC, there is literally ZERO downside to the university, as long as there are no discussions between the collective and the university.

    The fans of USC just want the athletic department to be managed by smart people making smart decisions toward the goal of winning, not control freaks or idealogues who place their own values/beliefs before the interests of the athletes, students, alumni and faculty of the university. I’m looking at you Folt.

      4. Haden’s failure to seek any legal relief or injunction against NCAA was a hot topic back then. There were two arguments. One side claims USC got what it deserved versus the NCAA being overzealous with its reach.

        The problem was, NCAA was never consistent with its policing.

        Sorry to burst your dream with facts. The NCAA already issued guidelines and everyone just shrugged. I know it is hard when you actually need to have some knowledge Gabby. Better to just sling insults.

        Hiring Riley wasnt a tough or particularly brilliant move. Anyone can hire a great coach for USC with the money they paid him. Buying a Ferrari doesnt make you a brilliant automotive expert either. It just means you have money.

      7. “NCAA members voted to allow college athletes to benefit from name, image and likeness opportunities, no matter where their school is located,” said Division I Board of Directors chair Denise Trauth, president at Texas State. “With this “interim” solution in place, we will continue to work with Congress to adopt federal legislation to support student-athletes.

        You stupid troll, The NCAA does not have a policy in place to regulate the NIL… They simply stepped back and allowed state jurisdiction to handle NIL. The key word here is “interim”, hope you comprehend… Any half-wit like yourself would understand they are working behind the seen to get their hands on this….wake up!!!!!

        So USC just went to the “coached”s store with 100 million and said,”I’LL TAKE YOU”…done deal. Have you read what took place behind the scenes to get Riley….you should read up on it and educate yourself before you come across as a “dick”…..

  13. At this point in the Lincoln Riley Era, there is no way that USC belongs on the same field as Bama, Ohio State, Michigan, LSU, et. al. I also cannot see USC beating UCLA if UCLA plays a clean game with no turnovers because they do not match up with any of the above mentioned teams in the trenches.

  14. One can include SC and BAMA in a remark ,if it is both could be 10-3 at some point…but that would be the end of any similarities.
    SC COULD BE 10-3 IF THEY WIN FRIDAY NIGHT… but lose to ucla and ND…remember SC has a much better offense than ND,but a worse defense so that makes it close; ucla and SC offense are both very good, and both defenses are not so good…I think the team with the best ground game will win,keeping their defense on the bench eating up the clock.

  15. Paul Dee wanted to move the football championship to the east coast and his plan was simple just screw USC and the lock they had on championship football.
    I think his plan failed because the Big 10 and SEC have played the most championship games. As for getting to the championship game this year… that would be nice, but it ain’t gonna happen. The fix is in Loyal PAC 10 teams will be available, but disloyal USC has gotten put on notice, if there are PAC 12 officials we don’t stand a chance. Anyway if a PAC 12 goes to the championship, maybe USC will get the Rose bowl again the loser of the Ohio Michigan game. Still good for a first year coach.
