It’s quite unusual for the director … Continue reading USC Notes: Some Next Level Rivalry Trolling

Why are there still people who believe the nonsense surrounding USC? They believed USC was some sort of juggernaut after beating bang average Michigan (which I pointed out last week) and completely forgot about the Illinois game. “We’re as tough as anybody. We can play against anybody,” said Chad “Charmin” Bowden said earlier in the week. “Doesn’t matter what logo, where you’re from, Midwest, blue … Continue reading What Just Happened In South Bend?
