If you were looking for a reason to say USC’s defense couldn’t possibly be as bad as last season, Utah tight end Dalton Kincaid’s 16 receptions in the first meeting between the teams was the most any player has ever caught against a Trojan team.
No USC defense ever allowed a player to catch 16 passes in a game. Until 2022.
That can’t happen again, right? Right?
- Defensive tackle Earl Barquet, who entered the transfer portal in April, still has not found a new school. As I mentioned this morning, defensive tackle Jamar Sekona is also still looking for a new school.
- Alabama, Georgia and Ohio State are among the schools with QB battles. Here are the latest odds from BetOnline:
Alabama Week 1 Starting QB
Ty Simpson +105 (21/20)
Tyler Buchner +140 (7/5)
Jalen Milroe +300 (3/1)
Auburn Week 1 Starting QB
Robby Ashford -140 (5/7)
Payton Thorne +100 (1/1)
Georgia Week 1 Starting QB
Carson Beck -700 (1/7)
Brock Vandagriff +400 (4/1)
Michigan State Week 1 Starting QB
Noah Kim -200 (1/2)
Katin Houser +150 (3/2)
Ohio State Week 1 Starting QB
Kyle McCord -500 (1/5)
Devin Brown +300 (3/1)
UCLA Week 1 Starting QB
Ethan Garbers -140 (5/7)
Dante Moore +100 (1/1)
Well if they decided to ‘transfer’ someone must have made them understand someone else a whole lot better was ‘in bound’….

The 2021 USC Ladies of Troy team that finished 4-8 gave up fewer yards per game than last years ‘Ol Mule Shoe/Alex Grinch coached team.
Last season Grinch’s crap defense routinely gave up over 500+ yards a game.
Tulane, Utah (twice), UCLA, Cal, Arizona, all torched Grinch’s pathetic defense for well over 500 yards.
Stanford, Fresno St. and Notre Dame over 400+ yards of offense.
That 4-8 2021 USC team might have given up 500 yards, maybe twice.
And remember, ‘Ol Mule Shoe and his boyfriend Alex Grinch brought in defensive players from the portal that were supposed to be better than the players they replaced, the ones they sent packing.
Shit, right now I would take Clancy Prendergast as the Ladies of Troy defensive coordinator over that clown Alex Grinch.
Make all the excuses you want for ‘Ol Mule Shoe’s boyfriend Alex Grinch, the fact is that he’s garbage, totally clueless and his resume reflects it.

You clueless know it all!!!!….The scholarship is valid only for the semester in which the player enters the portal. After the semester has ended the school is under no obligation to offer an athlete the remainder of the scholarship if he decides to remove himself from the portal. The school can offer the schoolship to another player after the semester has ended if it chooses to.

Just to be clear, Fake Gabby needs treatment for her paranoid schizophrenia condition. It is a fairly common (and can be severe) mental illness: about 0.32% of the population suffers from it. [Let’s see. There were 331 million Americans in the 2020 Census. I don’t believe they diagnose it (for sure) until one’s late teenage years, so let’s apply it to those Americans and Traitors like Fake Gabby 18 and over. Google says that 258 million Americans are 18 years old & older: 258 million x 0.0032 = 825,600 people adults who suffer from paranoid schizophrenia, just like Fake Gabby.

You clowns aren’t big on facts, but here it is when it pertains to scholarships and entering the transfer portal…
The NCAA’s transfer portal policy has transformed the landscape for student athletes seeking greener pastures. It works like this: Student athletes can now enter the portal and ask to change colleges. When they do that, their school has the right to rescind or reduce their scholarship, even if they don’t leave.

Nope, it basically turns into a non-sports scholarship that the NCAA doesn’t recognize as part of the 85 total count. But any walk-on player who “earns” a scholarship won’t receive that aid until the end of the season. By the way, that #42 nobody that Wolf thinks won’t matter is a preferred walk-on. USC has had success with that in the past with those types of students.

What would happen if the fifty plus players that Colorado cut decided to stay at Colorado rather than transfer. Colorado is responsible for paying for their scholarships. And they would also have to pay for the 50 players who replaced them. I have to think that the university President is not all that happy with coach Sanders over this mess.

But that’s only at the school’s discretion…not mandatory. The school has three options at the end of the semester, give you nothing, offer an academic scholarship (to free up a football scholarship), or continue to keep you on the team as a scholarship player. The player wants option #4, a free ride to another school via the portal.

Well USC doesn’t want the reputation of a school that takes scholarships away from players to make room for others. Colorado saw other players avoid them and some transfers left after showing up at the school. Pepe, Barquet and Sekona still count until the coach says they aren’t coming back. Then, if they are portal, the scholarship will change to academic if not picked up. NCAA let’s the NCAA Clearinghouse know about the conversion and USC will have until next semester to sit on the open spots. It will count this year if they pass the aid next semester. Makes more sense to wait until next spring to offer the extra spots.
