Now on to USC!

[Polish Leppy 22]

We all despise USC and have for a long time. Somethin tells me after 2 weeks of talking about USC we will want to see heads flying off of shoulders come October 17th.

Bang. [HA! Missed me!] I like your gold and mauve shoes.

It's looking like it's time for a trip to Closets R Us to house my growing wardrobe.

And to see if there's a cure for my apparent color blindness.

Would love nothing more than to see us smoke SC. My roommate is from SoCal and loves the Trojans... almost as much as he hates the Irish. Would love to blow those scarlet and gold spectacles off his face after all the trash he's talked.

A side note, this is a big game for us (outside of the obvious reasons) I believe we have a ton of guys coming through the bend for this game including rivals #1 Seantrel Henderson. Does anyone know where we stand with this guy or anyone else coming in (sorry if this question should be posted somewhere else, I'm new here)? Also a side note, SC has RoJo coming back so the D-backs need to get ready for the whole SC passing attack. Personally I haven't been impressed with the Trojan passing attack since Dwayne Jarret left, they've gotten highly rated talent but it just seems like it hasn't translated to the field. For the first time in a few years I really like our chances.

 

[GO IRISH!!!]

No green jerseys - please!!! I do think those in the stadium should be all in green. The tan of "The Shirt" just doesn't cut it on TV.

This is going to be a rough two weeks here in Trojan country. I have to listen to all the SC alums I work with and live around flap their yaps all freakin' day. I hope we come out and just bitch slap SC! We have to play without fear and with total abandon. That is how SC has been beat in recent years. This year against Washington, before against OSU and Stanford - the other teams just came out and stood up to SC.

I know I get criticism for this opinion, but I think this is a situation where the first couple plays of the game, even if it costs an unsportsmanlike penalty, I think we need to plant Barkley - HARD. Smack him hard a couple of times even if it costs 15 yards. Get him rattled and out of sync. The RB's too. We need to lay the wood on those guys right from the start. What do you do with a bully on the playground? You bloody his nose right away - show you aren't backing down.

Couldn't agree more. That whole stadium should be green but jerseys better not be.

Hit barkley hard early and often. Everyone's a tough guy til they get hit in the face

I am so, so psyched about this game.

There is a visitors thread under recruiting

Absolutely. I don't care if you take a roughing the passer penalty or an unsportsmanlike penalty in the first quarter - put Barkley on his wallet HARD and just walk away. Don't taunt, just pound him into the grass and walk away like nothing happened.

I actually want Tenuta to blitz the shit out of Barkley. I want him to have to beat us. Hopefully we scare quickly and put them in a situation where they have to throw. Pin our ears back and get him.

I second that motion...

 

[tankjeep]

you fucking chicken shits on not wearing green jerseys.....if there's a team i want to wear 'em, it's this team.

they play hard and for each other.....let's go irish.

bring out the green and let's stomp on usc.

 

[jakerbluegold]

Instead of the green jerseys, how about we bust out Michael Floyd? I think he could play just fine with one arm.

I know me to!!! October 17th can't come soon enough

I'd rather have ethan johnson and kerry neal in his face all day. if we are blitzing left and right our corners/ safeties are 1 on 1 with rojo, damian williams, etc. and that's not a comforting feeling

 

[irishfan]

I say bring out the green jerseys. 2005/2006 style not the 2007 throwbacks. It might pump up USC just as much as it pumps up us but I can guarantee the greens will make Barkley a little rattled.

 

[IrishInFl]

What time is the game? It happens to coincide with the Tallahassee Brewfest. I already have tickets and the Brewfest begins at 2. I just hope I'm not too drunk for the game so I can enjoy it!

 

[JefMaj]

3:30

 

[NDisme]

Pleease NO jerseys but we gotta do it now we gotta win but it will be difficult.

I have a feeling that Charlie is gonna bust out the green jerseys for this game.
