Speaking of CU. What ever happened to Jalapeño or PAC MAN, whatever he calls himself these days? Did 11 years of failure in football finally become too much for him?

Good point. That Arizona game really bothers me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In week one I went on these threads and predicted USC to go undefeated, win every game by double digits, and make the CFP (you can look it up). I haven't been that far off. USC has one of the best 5 coaches in CFB. He brought in talent from OU (particularly Williams) and anyone who was paying attention could have seen that USC was going to be much improved. I don't see how others did not see this coming. And Lincoln Riley is just getting warmed up. He will recruit strong and build the defense. With Riley, USC will be as close to the Pete Carroll years as they can get. The question is going to be, "How will they fit in the B1G, where they will face tOSU, Michigan, and etc. on a regular basis? I'm predicting a USC win, in the PAC12 Championship Game.

I haven't been that far off. I don't know how anyone couldn't have seen that Riley was going to bring something to USC that Trojan fans haven't seen since the Pete Carroll days. He brought in key players from OU and built a quality defense. Give him time to build the defense. And the OU drop off can be contributed to the number of players that left OU after Riley left. Several key players (like Williams) followed Riley to USC. In many ways (particularly on offense) USC is "OU West". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I haven't used those exact words (very accurate words, I might add), I've been saying this for several years. The PAC12's plan to play games on Friday nights, thinking they will garner a national audience, is shallow and inaccurate thinking. For me, I'm going to the state HS 5A Championship game tonight. I'll follow on my phone, but that's about it. As I've said before, people east of Colorado are not tuning in to PAC12 football on Friday night. They are at their local HS games, traveling to where their college team is playing, or engaged in some other form of local entertainment. The PAC12's concept of playing on Friday nights has been a laughable concept, since day one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point USC is playing with house money and is way ahead of schedule in year 1 of CLR. I’ll be happy with either outcome on Friday but I’ll admit I’ll be a little happier with a win. 😉 They should have listened to me, in week one. I'll go ahead and tell you - USC is going to be even better in 2023. And again, USC will win the PAC and make the playoffs. I haven't looked at their schedule, but I'm projecting an undefeated season, in 2023. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been that far off. Really? Not far off? You were only wrong in 5 of their games with your stupid predictions. I guess that's close? LMAO. You picked USC to win by 17 points in SLC. Showing once again, you have no idea how this conference works. But again, congrats on getting just above 50% on your USC predictions. Maybe D's and F's are considered success in your household.
