USC HAS A DIFFERENT DEFINITION OF HELL
In all fairness to USC fans, it’s not exactly hell in a handbasket when you’re 6-2 at this point in the season. Yet pain’s all relative, especially when you’re used to flying with the angels and happen to be last in turnover differential in the Pac-10, behind even Stanford and Arizona at -5 for the year.

Hell’s a relative term, but good photoshop trumps perspective. HT: LSUFreek.

Orson is truly spoiling us with this cornucopia of content. The UF loss must have the creative fires raging. Or he’s overcompensating to avoid suicide.

Up With Life Dept:
The “Death of the USC Empire” has been vastly exaggerated. There are a lot more positives than negatives.
My USC friends, as bad as things are right now, at least they are not as bad as the situations of all of our rivals. Recruiting is going along quite nicely, and who knows….
….one of these days we will see a game where there are no stupid penalties, dumb turnovers and coaches who call plays better than you and me!

So since this is a Topsy-Turvy year in College football, what is the theme? Who are the new “Traditional Powerhouses” that arent paper champions??…
nothing is as it seems….up is down…..black is white…..
Sly Croom will be bowl eligible……..Ed Orgeron still gets another year to get “a win”…….
I wish this year would be like “Memento” where you start the year backwards and dont remember anything after 5 mins…like a bad dream

Sheesh, this is a bad day to be a daysleeper. Orson, you’ve cranked out a hell of a day.
We may have to descend Dante-like to the depths, but USC will find its way out (I hope I hope I hope).

Figures that graphic would come from an LSU fan.
Most USC people seem to be taking this past loss in stride The choke against Stanford hurt way more. Oregon is a very good team and with a win over ASU they should be right in the MNC hunt. I’d love to see them win the whole thing since they were the school who got the biggest shafting of the BCS era the last time they were a serious contender (yes I DO remember what happened to Auburn).
Besides USC still has lots to play for. If USC and Oregon both win out from here then Oregon could make the MNC game and USC could still sneak into the Rose Bowl.

An idle mind is the devil’s workshop, way to keep your’s busy Orson. I know this is not the kind of follow-up season you guys were hoping for, and nothing, I mean nothing takes away the sting of a loss, but this is good therapy.
Your work is pure genius.

The USC boards are calling for the humanitarian’s head much less frequently than they were after the Stanford loss*. Either the bandwagoners have jumped ship (you’re welcome, Ohio State fans!) or rationality has set in. Nonetheless, this season kind of sucks, and I wish the offense would open the hell up already.
*Loss still not officially recognized by the international community.

Let’s see, how do I put this politely. F you SC fans! You’re approximately 1,000-5 in the Carroll era even with this year’s losses. Most fans would kill to be in your position so shut your pie holes. That is all.

Sorry, must have been thinking about the 1992 Freedom Bowl again. Shit. Could we have some kind of warning about mentioning the Larry Smith years? The only bandwagon the day after that game was the one to tidy out Larry’s office.

Good news, FSN and ESPN have reached an agreement that will have ASU at Oregon on ESPN in most of the country but on FSN in Arizona and the Northwest.

#15 Don’t worry about me. My other school is still doing quite well this year.
Between my two football playing alma matter’s in the last 5 seasons I’ve gotten to celebrate 3 MNC”s, two additional BCS title game appearences, 5 additional BCS bowl victories and 4 Heisman trophies.
On the other hand I was at that 1992 Freedom bowl game and also endured the frustrations of the Cooper years at tOSU. The 90’s generally sucked for me on “Rivalry Saturday’s” so I’ve paid some dues along the way.

I still say Carroll is the reason USC wins 10 games a year. He is also the reason they inevitably blow 1 or 2 games a year.
Hell of a recruiter(although not that hard to tell kids “come to LA motherfucker))
Not much of a motivator/game coach.

Epic analogy that perfectly fits Orson’s graphic and sums up how SC fans feel after 5 amazing years. It truly is all relative. This week, let’s hope for a repeat of that famous Corvallis newspaper headline from many years back:
“Trojans stuff Beavers”
Fight on!
