As a Trojan alum, I want to stake all your tongues to the bar with a rusty spork. And to my brethren, no bloody whining about x, y, and z- the boys got beat, badly. Now we must take our beating. If you must console yourself, remember that every guy who is clowning you knows that his boy wants to play ball at SC, his girl wants to be a Trojan Song Girl, and his lady wants you to dress her up as one. Fight On ...and to all you bastages- enjoy your footbaw tomorrow. As a college football fan I want to buy all you sarcastic bastages a beer.

It has long been rumored that Schiano's close ties to the Wilimington banking and credit industry influenced his decision to stay at Rutger's despite a meteoric rise in 2006 and 2007. Schiano, who has since seen his team plummet to the depths of Division 1 football at the hands of perennial powerhouse, Navy, had this to say about the Midshipmen: "They put all the money in the military industrial complex. Sure Army lost to Akron, and Navy to Ball State. But then they get this boost. Look at Notre Dame last year. Now its Rutgers. Someone must step in and help us small state schools out. But I am sure that being in New Jersey means we will once again get left out in the cold" Schiano left the scene in a truck marked "Waste Management".

But for us non-USC fans, it beats the hell out of sitting around waiting to find out if we're all in a time machine headed back to 1929. Besides, after the endless abuse of sports jargon by politicians for a century or so, it's refreshing to see the metaphors running in the other direction for a change. #45:

Look at the wonders done by doing this under the Big East 2005 Plan did.... So if the Pac 10 removed volitale assets from the balance sheet, such as Arizona State, Cal, and Arizona... they are no longer carrying those over-inflated and underperforming funds, and leave room for investment in upstarts with some potential such as BYU, Fresno, and Utah. Its not an overnight fix, but it points the ship in the right direction and offers a better ROI.
