USC Morning Buzz: There’s Skill Players And Everyone Else

Lincoln Riley said after the season he was going to be more involved in the defense.

But last week showed his priorities: It’s the skill players and everyone else. USC wasn’t short-handed with offensive or defensive linemen. Or linebackers.

But it had a couple skill players nicked up and the world came to a halt. Those are the players that matter in Riley’s world. You know who else acts like that? Jedd the Fisch at Arizona. But that will be the last comparison between those two coaches because as I’ve said, Fisch is an empty suit (who also caters to skill players).

  • Again, listen to Dan Hurley. Listen to Brian Dutcher. Listen to Jim Larrañaga. And then listen to your coach. It’s no comparison.
  • USC 7-foot forward Iaroslav Niagu has entered the transfer portal. Who? He averaged 0.4 points and 0.8 rebounds in 16 games last season.
  • A USC fan made One Shining Moment at the 53-second mark (Not the team, of course).

      3. @tebowobama – Your obsession with sexuality is very telling. I’m guessing that you are either self-loathing, closeted gay person or you have never had any success with the opposite sex. You make very juvenile comments that only a self-loathing hateful and immature person would make and try to pass them off as humor. But they are not funny. No one thinks you are funny or interesting. And they aren’t even offensive. That how sad you are. You can’t even offend people. They are just stupid and something one would expect from a very immature teenager who is desperately trying to find his own identity and in the process trying to put down those (gays) who you view as inferior. You are a very sad excuse for a human being.

    1. [Ed — remember how Ralph Kramden was always sending Alice “to the moon” in The Honeymooners? That was in the 1950’s! I’m sure it was really easy by 1969. I don’t see why tebow is having trouble with this. Could it be drugs?]…..

    2. ‘Ol Mule Shoe needs to come clean about his boyfriend Alex Grinch so he can stop pretending that Grinch is a legit defensive coordinator.

  3. ‘Ol Mule Shoe’s boyfriend/defensive coordinator Alex Grinch, is only in Los Angeles for one reason and it doesn’t have anything to do with football.

  4. Rodney Dangerfield always started with, “What a crowd, what a crowd,”
    And so the Con v State game was a bore compared to the crazed crowd
    Although at the start with a 10-6 lead it appeared as if the Aztecs were still into enslavement only now it was huskies
    But then 13 misses in a row pretty much settled the matter for the Northeasterners
    with the second half played only because it is required
    State’s chances versus the Con are much like a prisoner on death row
    “Would you like death by electrocution or gas”

    -Still don’t like that other easterner who goes by ‘Without-a-Folt’
    and how she just has to stick her nose into everything Trojan
    Between her, Haden and Swann they should name ‘Cromwell’
    The 3-Stooges Field

    And what is with all this clamoring about Wiley and defense?-
    He seems pretty defensive when discussing his team

  6. My mother in law grew up in the East New York section of Brooklyn in the 1950s. She dated a kid called Joey the Fish. (Don’t think he was related to Jedd the Fisch.) Never knew his real name. Joey was a wise guy, a real good fella. Decades later she was asked during jury selection if she ever knew anyone who just went by his nickname and she responded with “I went to the prom with Joey the Fish and half the boys in my neighbor I only knew by their nickname.” Your excused.

      2. Are you kidding? That’s one of my go-to’s whenever it’s on. Not only a great movie, but the soundtrack is amazing! The pop tunes from the period are all classics. But my favorite would be Cristo Redentor, played by Donald Byrd.

        The biker scene is awesome! Almost as good as the biker scene in Yellowstone.

    2. Love the story, Plow Horse. I always got outta jury service by replying to the judge’s question about “is there any reason why any of you might not be the right juror for this case?” with “I don’t work very well with other people.”

      1. MG: I was asked “juror #4, you are an experienced trial attorney. Do you think that you may have a greater ability to influence your fellow jurors than others?” I responded with : “well, your asking me to speculate but if I can’t influence jurors more than others I am in the wrong profession.” Judge laughed and I was excused about 10 minutes later.

      2. LOL. I got out of jury duty when they asked me what kind of business I was in, told them I was retired but my company filed over 3000 civil suits in 10 years, I’ve been to court numerous times, a couple of trials, my wife worked for an attorney in the LA area as a legal secretary, defense attorney wanted no part of me.

      1. Agreed. Prosecution can not win based on existing law and you do not want to trust a Manhattan jury. These are the same guys who acquitted Mark Elias of making a false statement to the FBI,”I am not working for anyone”, when text messages from Elias to the FBI show that he made the statement and he billed Hillary for his time and was paid.

  11. And your lack of familiarity with New York courts is on display. He isn’t planning on taking a deal. He wants a show trial. It’s already a security nightmare. He needs the free press. The DA is going to look for a super quick decision. It’s going to be a fine and probation. Ulysses S Grant was arrested once. Bragg doesn’t need a win, just a fine. The only way it becomes a nightmare is if Trump testifies. Then he will rat himself out by perjury and it gets bad real fast for Dummy Trump.
