USC held its first practice this morning and Lincoln Riley summed it up as I would:
“120 teams practice, 120 teams have great first days,” he said.
- Defensive tackle Bear Alexander has a minor soft tissue injury and did not practice.
- Offensive lineman Manasse Itete officially decommitted from USC today and is expected to commit to Florida State tomorrow.
- Riley on Alex Grinch: “He’s a really good coach.”
- Offensive analyst Kliff Kingsbury attended his first practice.

Wiley said Grinch is “a really good coach.”– So why all the beef?
Well, Wiles, it might have to do with being nearly last in defense in ’22
And the Georgia Bear is hurt before stepping on the practice field,
which ties the record for quickest Trojan to get hurt

Riley on Alex Grinch: “He’s a really good coach.”
That clown Alex Grinch isn’t worth a shit! Motherfucker is dumb as a box of rocks.
After that humiliating loss to Tulane in the Cotton Bowl, USC DL Tuli Tuiapoopoo or whatever her name is, was upset as she was talking to a reporter and stated that the Ladies of Troy defense sucked because Grinch had them playing out of position, had called the wrong defensive alignments throughout the game. Basically Tuli said that Grinch didn’t know what he was doing.
‘Ol Mule Shoe knows that his boyfriend Alex Grinch has no business being a waterboy, let alone a coach, but the heart wants what the heart wants and ‘Ol Mule Shoe can’t bear the thought of not having Alex Grinch by his side.

Really disappointing that the Bear came up lame. Was hoping that he would be a leader and leaders need to demonstrate an exceptional work ethic. The last big time player that I remember taking spring off and then fall under dubious reports of injury was Korey Foreman. Yikes.

Yes, according to the VP “most” of us are only $400 away but I can’t think of a single politician or even a government worker who is a member of this group. Hell, In & Out Burger now starts at $22 per hour. And BTW, if this is true, I don’t think Bidenomics is doing quite as well as some would have you believe. “Most” is a lot of people in a 330 million population.

Trump wasn’t elected with the plan of pushing him out shortly thereafter. Biden was.
But once they realized how useless she was, they couldn’t do it. (Best insurance policy ever for Joe.) NOW, with him claiming he’s going to run again, everyone knows darn well there is a very good chance he won’t make it to the end of second term. So you’d better believe people want to know who’s a heartbeat away from the Presidency this time!
People have always said that no one votes based on the VP. But in 2024, IF (big IF) Joe actually runs, you’d better believe they will be thinking about it.

LOL! On average, U.S. presidents are 55 years old when sworn in.
Anyone who doesn’t think Biden’s running mate will be on the minds of voters is clueless. He would be 82 IF he were inaugurated for a second term.

Again, politicians lie. That’s why many Americans don’t vote or are leaving both parties in droves. They care about the top 3% wealthiest Americans.

The sole repository of credible programs left to merge with are in the ACC. Both coats need each other desperately to survive which brings up ‘the princess’ – if the ACC does crater then what about the Irish strength of schedule considering they play 5 – 6 games from ACC opponents and ‘legoland’ out here as well as one of the Pac Northwest schools.
Kliavkoff be best served approaching whomever per the Tv contract with ACC together to force a better deal for both from the networks. His current solo approach is not working i.e still has no deal. Then again 9it may turn into a blessing that he is still looking and being forced to offer terms to the ACC to survive because if not San Diego St., SMU and UNLV are not going to add any respect – an ACC deal would.

You don’t hear much about Stanford and Cal. I believe that Stanford has one of the best athletic programs when you include the minor sports and especially women’s sports. Nobody seems to be actively courting them. I suppose the perception that these two school don’t care much about football has become the reality. I mean hiring the San Jose coach for football, c’mon.

Losing Itete brings questions to my mind. There’s got to be money involved. This happened overnight. He’s a california kid. What could make him want to bail out so quickly and go across the country to Florida. Florida State is going after the other 4 star O-Lineman Jason Z. I hope they don’t get him too.
Maybe we should just let him go. I’m sure SC gave him a pretty good NIL deal. If he’s willing to leave just for a little more money, maybe he’s not what SC wants. I would think that SC wants people who want to be a trojan and are not just playing for money.
