uh oh spaghettio




Trojans, Trojan fans, Trojan foes, rivals, basically everyone is speaking their mind over the latest news in the "results" over NCAA's USC investigation.

Nothing has been made official, but then again, nothing was made official when PC was "leaving."


Worst case scenario: 20+ scholarships lost, the 13-0 season lost, 2 year bowl ban...


My opinion? It sucks. Bad. But the team can still prove themselves. STILL go undefeated. STILL be the fighters that they are.

No Comment...

I cried about PC leaving, but I am not voicing my opinion on here about the new hires until the season starts.


The end.

Teardrops on my guitar...

I've kinda being reacting a little irrationally (re: PC) lately. While I haven't been as extreme as others taking it out on MG, I have been sad and confused. I really don't even have a reason to be sad and confuse. USC and Pete Carroll don't owe me anything.

At 16, I was a Senior in HS. Leaving in Georgia, my top two choices for college where University of Missouri and the University of Southern California.

That fall, I was more wrapped up into high school football, and figuring out where I would be next year. #1 thing on my list- a school with a football program and #2- a school with a GREAT journalism department.

Missouri was leading USC. From September-October I was pretty confident that I'd be going to middle of nowhere Columbia the following fall.

I even remember taking a trip up to Charlotte for a Panthers game, where a former player of Coach Dad's was teasing me about the Tigers. (He was a Wolverine). But something changed my friends. In mid-October. It was October 19th (good thing I have my journals from hs), I met a person who change my mind and my life. The woman's name was Ruthie- she was interviewing me for admission to USC. To quote the 16 year old me "The interview was awesome! I hope I can go to USC." I'd be lying to you if I told you I saw the loss to Stanford the night before. The 32-30 loss mind you...

I was living in SEC country. Pac-10 games were far and few between, and it was a Wednesday game- plus a school night.

That night all I wanted, and all I talked about was USC. Life happens people. I am a firm believer in "everything happens for a reason." I ended up not going to USC the following fall, but a small school that lacked #1 & #2 on my musts lists. A school that gave me opportunities to meet and interview some amazing musicians, and make friends that would last a lifetime. That's what college is about...but one thing was for sure...I was NOT going to settle for adopting an SEC team.

I HAD to have a college football team, and if I couldn't have USC, well USC could have me as a fan. So for me, the first football season as a USC fan, was Pete Carroll's as a coach. I have NEVER known a USC without Pete Carroll.

There are many moments of USC football that I love rewatching, and some moments that I could do without, but there will aways be USC football, and I will always have my Trojan fam that has so kindly accepted me (you guys know who you are).

I wish Coach Carroll all the best in Seattle, and wait with intrigue what awaits Trojan Nation in Los Angeles.


Much love- Glitz

neglect...

I suck at life guys. I promise I'll update more regularly, and I let you down. Today has officially sucked more than the entire Trojan season....

It's all speculation, and I hope it isn't true, but Pete Carroll is rumored to go to Seattle and coach in the NFL...

McKnight and Williams are skipping their last year and declared for the NFL Draft...

Aaron Corp transfered to Richmond, this was announced yesterday, and while most Trojans love to hate on #2...it's still a piece to this puzzle...

The most we can do is just sit here and wait...

the ohio state curse...

Disclaimer: I apologize ahead of time for any unlady like words that might follow...



The OSU curse. I do not know what happens to USC after the play and beat Ohio State. They get on the field and look like lost puppies.


Seriously, more than two interceptions?! C'mon guys what are you thinking? Aaorn Corp. I am sure the kid is a good kid. I'm sure he is nice, and all that jazz, but yesterday. I just wanted him off the field.


Somebody I was watching the game with made a comment, and I agree. You cannot put on an 'SC uniform and EXPECT to just win. You need to be 100% and work hard.


There was an article that came out last night that Aaron Corp said that he never knew he was going to start. If that is true or not....I don't know, but here is the thing....you should ALWAYS be prepared when you are #2. ALWAYS. Especially when Matt Barkley is injured!!!

I'm going to stop. I don't want to get overly worked up. The game is over. There is no going back and changing the outcome. There is always next week at home.
