USC Monday Buzz: The Hype Reached A New High (Or Low)

Can you believe spring practice is already halfway over with seven of the 15 practices used up?

The number of experts talking about spring practice is breathtaking. They can discern even small details even though Lincoln Riley only allows less than 30 minutes of practice viewing: the meaningless part where stretching and individual drills take place (of course).

That doesn’t stop pundits from making bold pronouncements. Or awful takes from fans. One twitter account proclaimed last week that either incoming freshmen tight end Mark Bowman and quarterback Jonas Williams “will win a Heisman by the time they’re done with USC.”

So much for not placing unrealistic expectations on freshmen. But that’s all some people are capable of these days. Foolishness.

It would be great to see Gary Patterson react to a comment like that. He’s a real coach. Not a fanboy.

  • As expected, USC declined to participate in the NIT. USC has actually spurned the NIT two of the past three seasons.

  1. “Gary Patterson is a real coach.”

    That’s about as rah rah as Scott gets. We should all be excited for a dominate performance by the USC defense.
