For my readers on the east coast and especially in Washington, D.C., brace for a whopper of a snowstorm. Apparently D.C. is going to get hit with 18-24 inches of snow in the next two days. So if you happen to be stuck in Reagan National Airport on your way to South Florida for the Super Bowl, here are a few links to help you pass the time while you scarf down a Five Guys Burger and top it off...
Oregon received a huge boost to their program yesterday as HS phenom Lache Seastrunk decided that he will be playing college ball for the Ducks. Auburn, USC, and LSU, were all in the mix for Seastrunk in a highly competitive recruiting battle. Seastrunk, who hails from Temple, Texas, accounted for 1,085 all-purpose yards this past fall. His versatility makes him a dangerous threat out of the backfield, or in the slot position as a wideout. His blazing speed and cat...
USC QB Matt Barkley underwent wrist surgery earlier this week to repair damage suffered on his right wrist. The Trojans are hoping that Barkley makes a full recovery in time for the start of spring ball. USC welcomes new head coach Lane Kiffin and the coaching staff are hoping that Barkley can make it back by spring practice as Kiffin will be implementing a new offense for Barkley to run. As of now, Barkley and Mitch Mustain are the...
Since being booted out of Tinseltown in 2004, Ed Orgeron has done everything in his power to come back to the west coast. With Lane Kiffin surprisingly dropping Tennessee for the Trojans, the door opened for Orgeron to pack his bags and follow Kiffin. Unfortunately, it looks like Orgeron wanted to take more than his personal belongings to Southern California. Prior to departing Knoxville, Orgeron contacted Tennessee’s mid-term enrollees and offered them a piece of advice–do not attend class this semester if you...
In a college football world where we expect loyalty and commitment to teams from our student athletes, college football coaches are able to pick up and leave on a whim without any penalty. The double standard is glaring. This young off-season has seen more coaching twists from L.A. to Knoxville, than a One Tree Hill episode. Former Cincy coach Brian Kelly started the snowball effect which is now infull speed. Kelly had taken the Bearcats to a school best 12-0 season record and...
The drama in LA continues. Lane Kiffin has left the Tennessee Vols for the USC Trojans, a move that’s sending shock waves through the college football world. Kiffin just finished his first season at Tennessee going 7-6 and a Chick-fil-A bowl appearance. Kiffin will replace legendary coach Pete Carroll, who left USC this past weekend for the Seattle Seahawks. Kiffin previously coached at ‘SC from 2001-2006 and then left for the Oakland Raiders. After a tumultuous one and a...
Rumor is swirling around campus that USC’s Pete Carroll is the preferred coach for the newly vacant Seattle Seahawks post. This morning, the Seahawks fired first year coach Jim Mora citing lack of wins. The Seahawks immediately turned their attention to Carroll as he is thought to be the prefect candidate for the position. As we recall, Carroll’s head coaching stints in the NFL were not too much to brag about. His record with the Jets (in 1994) after one season...
He’s back. Not even six months removed from live saving re-constructive throat surgery, USC’s Stafon Johnson will take the field for the first time since his injury in the 2010 Senior Bowl. Johnson suffered a horrific injury on October 14th, 2009, as the result of a weight lifting accident in which his larynx was crushed and his vocal chord was detached. Doctors said that if Johnson wasn’t in such peak physical shape, the accident could have killed him. Johnson hasn’t played...
