  2. So in addition to losses vs. the quacks and Michigan, the bookies are selling USC to lose two other games, and none of those others are against a powerhouse…

    I’d like to think that with this schedule and roster, Pete could do 10-2, 9-3 low end.

    Scott, if you have a Vegas connection, ask one of the those guys what the O/U might be if Helton was still HC, same Roster and schedule.

      1. If it is any consolation, my 18-year old just fired up the new EA Sports “College Football 2025” and USC seems much better than last year. Maybe the EA guys were bribed by USC, but the RBs are infinitely better than Woody from last year and the O-line is much better than the 2024 rendition of USC video football.

      2. I concur, 67. Our running backs, receivers AND QB are first rate. Jayden was trying to absorb too much information for the Texas A&M game — I remember Lincoln saying after the last bowl practice that they’d eliminated all the mistakes he made against Notre Dame—-it was overload….. he’s had the summer to get his head straight & I think he’s gonna be excellent.

  4. I think we beat 7.5. No problem. We will be underdogs to ND and Oregon. Both away games but I think we have a chance of winning one of those two games. I think Illinois may be a toss-up, the most important game of the year. We should beat Michigan at home. Their strength was defense and most of their star players have moved on to the NFL. We will be favored against everyone else but watch out for Nebraska at Nebraska. Bottom line – we should win 9 to 10 games.

    1. MacArthur Park needs to be cleared out. Should have happened many years ago. It is so bad that the LAPD is afraid to enter the area. Edwards Steak House left years ago because of the crime from MS 13 and other gangs. Now Langers has threatened to close shop after more than 60 years. There are private armed guards in the Langers parking lot. But Karen Bass will say ICE is the problem.

      2. Well Michael, yesterday Sparrow said that some of my comments on this blog were profane. He actually suggested that my behavior was sinful – an act that separates my soul from God. A few days earlier, he said Cowardly Gabby was merely an eccentric. He then stated that “the 4” had their soul tattooed with the tendency to insult others, a concupiscence, and suggested that we could not control this tendency. So, since Sparrow is the self appointed arbitrator of what constitutes right from wrong on this blog, something that got Adam and Eve in trouble, and deems that I fall short in that arbitration, just curious what he thinks of the “tastes like cum” comment. Was it profane and sinful or merely eccentric. My prediction is that he will not say anything of substance. He rarely does.
