Fox analyst Joel Klatt was not expecting USC to lose to Illinois last weekend.
“I legitimately thought USC had a good chance to go in there and beat (Illinois) pretty soundly,” Klatt said.
But the question now is whether Klatt remembers what he said about USC in July when he said the Illinois game was a key to the season.
“If you lose to Illinois, now I don’t have a lot of faith you’re going to beat Nebraska, I don’t have a lot of faith you’re going to beat Notre Dame,” Klatt said back then.
“(A loss to Illinois) puts USC on a path towards like are they going to be 7-5 again? They cannot have another 7-5 season. So that’s why it’s like is this going to work with Lincoln Riley? I think that we find out in that September matchup with Illinois.”
Amendment to Klatt comment: Take out the “Illinois” —insert “Michigan” …..

That’s the big concern. If they lose more than 4 games they lose the recruiting class. Defensive players may conclude that the defensive coaches can’t develop their players.

Why would they reach that conclusion?
[Seriously, if whoever is playing nickel — whether it’s the first time or the 5th time they’ve played the position in a game — is nowhere near the slot receiver when they should be in coverage ….or playing on the line when they shouldn’t be…. if the corners are letting receivers get behind them with USC with a one point lead and a minute to go—- elite players will draw the correct conclusion: Lynn’s defense isn’t getting coached up in any sense of the word]….

KAM: Governor Mimbo’s $20 Min. Wage Has Now Nuked 20,000 Fast Food Jobs, Cost Remaining Workers Thousands in Lost Hours. Democratic California Gov. Mimbo promised just short of utopia when he signed California’s FAST Recovery Act.
Two years later, the only thing raising the state’s minimum wage law for fast-food workers has accomplished is to kill jobs.
The Employment Policies Institute found California has lost nearly 20,000 fast-food jobs since Newsom’s law took effect.
That’s one-quarter of all fast-food job losses nationwide.
This is what happens when Mainstream Moderate Democrat politicians prioritize virtue signaling over economic reality.
Pizza Hut franchises laid off 1,200 delivery drivers to cut costs. Other chains like Mod Pizza and Foster’s Freeze closed their doors.
Newsom’s mandate didn’t protect workers; it priced people out of jobs.
“Newsom’s $20 wage has turned out to be nothing more than a boost to his own ego at the expense of fast food workers,” EPI’s Rebekah Paxton told the Washington Examiner.
The governor celebrated the law for its supposed benefits at the time.
Now, every lost job represents a family harmed by his state’s economic illiteracy.
And even the “lucky” employees who kept their jobs are losing.
EPI said restaurant workers lost 250 hours annually, or $4,000 under the old wage.
That’s the cruel irony. Governor Mimbo promised “living wages,” but workers ended up with fewer hours and less income.
The American Cornerstone Institute warned that the law punishes small businesses the hardest.
They can’t absorb higher labor costs like multinational corporations. Instead, they fold, handing even more market share to the biggest players.
The ACI said: “Unlike their multinational competitors, small businesses have a tougher time absorbing the increased costs of labor, leading to further consolidation of capital in the hands of the largest corporations. In the same manner, a state-wide minimum wage doesn’t make sense when applied uniformly across a state as big as California.”
“The costs of living in somewhere like San Francisco, for example, are much higher than in the rural parts of the state, where one can live much more affordably. To force the businesses in both areas to adhere to the same wage rates does not make sense and exerts profound distortions on local economies.”
This wasn’t about helping workers.
This law was about central planning, photo ops, and Governor Mimbo’s ambition.
Conservatives warned that this would happen, and we were right.
Sadly, an “I told you so” won’t bring back jobs to the people who paid for another failed California experiment.
DON: Cowardly Gabby and the Mainstream Moderate Democrats don’t care how many poor workers and small businesses they destroy.
