USC recruiting and everything else

[Irishnuke]

Fuck 'em both, I wouldn't trust either any farther than I can throw a midget.

I can throw a midget pretty far. I’m just built different.

I imagine part of the ploy for the B1G to bring USC in was not just to dip the foot into California, but to try and have leverage to bring ND in eventually.

I can imagine that's the ulterior motive for the B1G, which just makes USC even more ungodly stupid and deserving of what they're dealing with.

It really is rather amazing that in the year of our Lord 2025 a ranked USC team @Indiana is viewed as a sure loss for USC when nobody even knows who Indiana's starting QB will be in 2026.

Two years ago such a statement was inconceivable.

In Cig we trust, I guess.

Regardless of the QB, Cignetti will have 2 tough lines and it's a road game. Those 2 factors are Lincoln Riley Kryptonite.

Pretty ominous re ND being the twelfth game. That schedule is tough without us.

Bowen is a clown.

Bowen is a clown.

Facts. Jordan is just using his last year of eligibility lol

 

[Rizzophil]

Bowen is a clown.

Most of the NIL deals are for 1-2 years. Very few NIL deals are for four years. Every year is truly free agency


Very difficult to build a team about brotherhood and selflessness when everyone has to try to advance themselves. It makes MF success even more remarkable

On one hand I get it. Celebrate the guys who are doing the normal, unflashy, thing. On the other, that's pretty dumb.

We're coming to their place though. And they could easily be sitting at 9-2 with a need for a big season-ending win to bolster their at-large bid. They should sack up and play us.

 

[DCDomer]

Hilarious.

USC getting poached by BYU

[ColinKSU]

Can he play DT?

 

[Dale]

Purely football take - USC will be extremely young next year. They may actually suck regardless but it wouldn’t be the worst thing to get them earlier in the season in 2026.

 

[arrowryan]

Walker Lyons seems surprising to me

 

[rtrn2glory]

guess they can't pay everybody

USC paid an arm and a leg for Mark Bowman, BYU now is flush with cash after the PSU debacle, Ryder is heading to BYU. Perfect storm for Walker to get paid by the Cougs.

I think people underrate how risky Bowden has played this. They are kicking vets to the curb for likely a Deion-esque class between freshman and portal. Better hope he’s got that secret sauce in his leprechaun outfit. There is a world where it’s a team of freshman that just get ran over by half their schedule.

I think most of what Bowden does is stupid, so I wouldn’t be surprised.

 

[rtrn2glory]

addition by subtraction it appears to be with Bowden. as if we needed to be proven otherwise. starting to get vibes that he was bullied when he was younger and trying to give the impression that he is smarter than he actually is.

From your lips to God's ears.

If Lynn departs for PSU, USC could luck into Pete Kwiatkowski as DC.

I always thought this same thing about his dad when he was the GM of the Reds. Constantly having to tell everybody how good of a job he was doing - as he decimated a championship level team.

Cowards.

Shut down your program, cowards

[irish2104]

The amount of bad news since the playoff announcement is staggering

 

[IrishTusker]

Not to pick on anybody, but the ND beat was confident it would be extended at least for two years iirc. Makes me wary about their other predictions

 

[irish2104]

And Pete AD said short term extension and then a long term clearly no clue what he was talking about

 

[Huntr]

Bitch ass program.

Always has been.
