USC Morning Buzz: Offseason Champions!

I generally don’t find the usual banter between Oregon and USC fans on social media to be that interesting.

For one thing, there is no comparison between the schools when it comes to history and national titles. At the same time, I don’y why USC lowers itself by taking shots at Oregon over recruiting commitments.

With that said, I thouight this post was funny, because it emphasized how some people place more emphasis on recruiting rankings than wins or losses.

  1. I am hearing through sources that Taco Jen our AD has told Musselman that he must win next year and reach the NCAA tournament or………..else! Jen, is growing tired of Musselman always asking for more NIL money for basketball recruits each season with no signs of improved basketball attendance at Galen, no return on the investments on players, and no trips to the NCAA tournament under his leadership.

    1. KAM: So USC mens basketball must finish in the Top 75 to save Musselman’s job?

      The NCAA is expected to finalize plans to expand both the men’s and women’s basketball tournaments from 68 to 76 teams starting in 2027.

      DON: What a goal! Make the top 75 is good enough at USC.

  2. “I don’y why USC lowers itself by taking shots at Oregon over recruiting commitments.”

    I suppose we could take shots at Oregon over academics, quality of life issues, and alumni support but Oregon seems to acknowledge their inferiority in these areas. However, they have celebrated their ability to take recruits from Southern California the past decade or so. Now that that is no longer the case, and it is something Oregon cares about, why not throw them some shade. It the kind of thing we do on a USC sports blog. Don’t take it away from us Scott. It elevates us at the expense of Oregon.

    1. “quality of life”?? are you referring to the armed compound with Shawshank-style walls surrounding it, amidst the dystopian hellscape that is South Central????

      i wager Ducks can stick their nose outside campus walls at midnight without literally ending up a chalk outline!!

  3. Looks about right.

    I’ve got some suggestions for USC and their naming rights.

    #MeToo for the multi purpose room “Empowerment through empathy “

    The Mustang Ranch for the recruit terrace ” Nobody phucks our Bunnies better than a Trojan ! “

    Waste Management for the turf ” When you think of Lincoln Riley, you think of garbage “

    1. KAM: USC freshman loses eye after being struck by federal agent’s projectile at Los Angeles ‘No Kings’ riot, attorney says.When asked about what transpired and why the projectile was fired, DHS said, “The First Amendment protects speech and peaceful assembly – not rioting.”

      The agency said “rioters threw rocks, bottles, and cement blocks at officers” and that seven warnings were issued before crowd control measures were deployed. Three protesters were also arrested, according to DHS.

      DON: Imagine getting hurt at a Democrat riot!

  5. Historically, USC football is “special” each February through August.

    By end of October, when 8 and 4 or 7 and 5 is the reality, the talking points are are wait till next year.

    The word “special” has been corrupted by the USC fanboys.

  6. The poster about the Big Ten champions shows that the Big Ten is the best conference in the country, and as a long, long time USC fan and alum, I am so glad that we are in the best conference. ND can have their independence and lousy schedule. Just for the heck of it, I listened to Paul Finebaum today, the SEC super hyper, and he had nothing to brag about. All they had for years was Nick Saban, and now their best is Lane Kiffin. Kirby Smart is a Saban pretender. The ND coach blew the rivalry along with the AD who took his ball and went home because he was crying about losing out to Miami for the playoffs last year. We get Indiana, Oregon, Ohio State, Penn State and other quality teams plus a great schedule for offseason sports. The way UCLA is playing, the Big Ten will probably win the natty in baseball. Good riddance ND and old Pac 12. Fight on, Dan, Class of 1962. And, yes, USC won natty’s for men’s indoor and outdoor track and field last year keeping their streak of winning at least one natty a year while being competitive in all sports.

  7. KAM: The NFL is now in the Justice Department’s crosshairs.

    The Wall Street Journal  reported on Thursday that the DOJ has launched an investigation into the National Football League (NFL) over whether the league has engaged in anticompetitive practices that harm customers.

    Per the Journal, this could seriously jeopardize the NFL’s antitrust exemption.

    Professional sports leagues like the NFL are currently protected from antitrust action under the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961.FCC chairman Brendan Carr said that the NFL could lose its exemptions if it puts too many live games behind paywalls.

    DON: Then do the College Football TV deal!
