In a different decade, USC-Alabama would be a game that dominated the college football landscape. But ESPN did not even bother to list it among its “games of interest” this season. Even Oregon-North Dakota State made the cut. But who can blame ESPN? I’ve yet to come across a USC fan who thinks the Trojans have a chance to beat the Crimson Tide. I met … Continue reading USC-Alabama Doesn’t Create Much Buzz
Former UCLA coach Karl Dorrell has emerged as the favorite for the Colorado job, according to Pete Thamel of Yahoo. This feels like a USC search. Imagine the Pac-12 South with Clay Helton and Karl Dorrell? The SEC must be laughing . . . again. Continue reading Colorado Closing In On Karl Dorrell?
