USC Morning Buzz: No One Wants To Talk About Some Transfers

When DJ Harvey transferred from San Jose State to USC, he was projected to become the Trojans’ lockdown cornerback.

Is it a bad thing that Harvey entered the Purdue as third-string on the official depth chart? Is it a bad thing that he was behind two redshirt freshmen (Braylon Conley, Marcelles Williams)?

Some of the transfers who were expected to start are not starting, like Harvey and center J’Onre Reed. Not to mention offensive guard DJ Wingfield, who is ineligible.

Harvey should move up this week because one of the second-stringers, Chasen Johnson, is out for the season following an injury at Purdue.

The way USC’s secondary covered Purdue’s wide receivers, it might not matter who started and who comes off the bench.

TOUGH TICKET

  • Long Beach City College students, faculty and staff are being offered two free tickets to the Michigan State and Northwestern games at the Coliseum. Ticketing fees will still apply.

The offer is the result of a new partnership between Long Beach City College and Reach Capacity, a company that provides exclusive access for free and discounted events to large organizations.

Maybe this will help create the atmosphere Lincoln Riley is demanding for Saturday night.

    2. KAM: How to manage Cowardly Gabby aka TebowObama aka Charlie Bucket the Bruin Fan The Guy who posts as So Cal’s Wife & LawyerJohn & Pudly & Plow Horse & steveg49 & DOJ & Scott Wolf and Frank Young’s constant, whining, crying and trolling of the blog….

      Although research in this area is still in its infancy, a few psychological studies have attempted to answer these questions. There are three important lessons learned.

      First, trolls are more likely to display noxious personality characteristics, that is, traits that impair one’s ability to build relations and function in a civilized or pro-social way. In a comprehensive examination of their psychological profile, trolls were found to be more Machiavellian (impulsive and charming manipulators), psychopathic (cold, fearless and antisocial), and especially sadist than the overall population. Trolls enjoy harming and intimidating others, so much so that the authors of this study concluded that trolls are “prototypical everyday sadists”, and that trolling should be regarded as online sadism. This is in line with the view of trolling as a form of cyberbullying.

      Second, trolling – like other forms of computer-mediated communication – unleashes people’s impulses by providing anonymity and temporary identity loss. This phenomenon, called deindividuation, is well known to psychologists and has been found to emerge in several areas of interpersonal relations, such as gaming, role-playing and crowd behaviors, particularly hooliganism. Thus, even when we are not naturally sadistic, trolling may bring out the worst side in us, by lifting the moral constrains and social etiquette that regulates our behavior in normal situations, and by fueling dissent and triggering abrasive reactions.

      Third, trolling is a status-enhancing activity: by attracting readers’ attention, upsetting people, sparking heated debates, and even gaining approval from others, trolls can feel important, perhaps much more than they are in their real lives. Thus, trolling is yet another internet activity that promotes narcissistic motives, since trolls may be expected to be far less successful in attracting people’s attention in the physical world. The only effective antidote to their tactics is to ignore them, but even then, trolls won’t suffer a public humiliation because nobody knows who they are.

      DON: This is what makes trolling so ubiquitous – it requires no skills other than the ability to be obnoxious. That’s you, Cowardly Gabby.

      1. KAM: Here’s the problem:Cowardly 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 Cowardly Gabby 18 and over.

        DON: 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 Cowardly Gabby.

  3. Relying on the transfer portal to fill out your team is a losing strategy. A kid here and there but not a bunch of them, and when you get one, make sure the guy can at least play

  4. Agree with Scott. Other than Bishop Fitzgerald, the transfers have not performed to expectation. Even the two big interior DL have been disappointing. Keyshawn Silver was the most sought after DL in the portal and he was beat out by Devon Thompkins.
