Holy Flaming Batsuits, Robin, I've found the dumbest writer in the history of communication. Illiterates probably berate this woman. Her ancestors, thousands of years ago, probably drew cave paintings of buffalo with which everyone else on the planet confused toucans. Her name is "Lisa H," and she "writes" a blog on FoxSports.com's community blogs. You know how they say a million monkeys with a million keyboards, given enough time, could write the works of Shakespeare? Well it would take ...
Our Rival
Sanchez Picked To Get Dirty This Fall
Mark Sanchez was picked over Mitch "I'm Tellin' Momma!" Mustain and Aaron "My Name Sounds Like a Big, Multinational Umbrella Company" Corp to start at QB for Southern Cal Under coach Pete Carroll, USC Trojans has never entered the summer without appointing the next starting quarterback. This year is no different, and there was not much of an element of surprise to it. Mark Sanchez, who started three games for the Trojans last season, was the front-runner going into spring workouts, and ...
Keep Your Friends Close…
And your rivals closer. This week Sunday Morning QB published his Absurdly Premature Assessment of: Southern Cal. And his work in both blogging and mainstream media terms is exhaustive. It always is with SMQ. This guy can't possibly be married. Hey, why not? Anyway, it's an excellent read, and you should read up on it in between shots of Tiger at Augusta. No way some guy named "Snedeker" wins the Masters anyway. Despite Southern Cal being Notre Dame's only true rival, I don't ...
Reggie Bush Must Surely Be Innocent!!!
Who IS freaking Reggie Bush? And who are these old school mafioso lawyers he has hired on to defend his 'honor' and the USC football program from Lloyd Lake and his accusations of cash, money, records during Bush's time at USC? I mean, really. Having an armed gunman come along to a deposition of the star witness in the case against Mr. Bush points STRAIGHT toward innocence.   Pure, sweet football-playing innocence! Not really. Not at all. These thuggish tactics SCREAM to the ...
Ignore This!
Pete Carroll met with the Washington Redskins about a job on Monday, but he'd rather not talk about it. USC Coach Pete Carroll on Monday declined to address reports that he met with Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder about becoming the NFL team's coach. The NFL Network and the Associated Press said that Carroll met with Snyder in St. Louis following Joe Gibbs' resignation but that it had been mutually decided he would not be a candidate. Carroll has been mentioned as a ...
Farewell, Robert Goulet
The only relationship I've found between Notre Dame and Robert Goulet, who died yesterday, is this: ND and USC are rivals. Will Ferrel is a notorious Trojan fan. And Will Ferrel played Robert Goulet in "Red Ships of Spain." [youtube]SnuS4EsDWEA[/youtube] And that relationship is reason enough to post something about Bob's untimely end on HLS. You can check out some other relationships between ND and Bob here. You can also see that I'm a moron. ...

He Could See it Coming
Pete Carroll may run a program that gets a little shady around the edges, and he may drive me insane with his Southern Cal 'tude, but he said something that a lot of Irish fans seem unable to admit. When asked if he expected the Irish to struggle this year, he said... "Three years ago, you could see it coming," Carroll said. "They had all the juniors that played and started, and they had a really good team. Then they were seniors the next year, and they were fortunate to keep a few of ...
Southern Cal About Ready To Push Red Button
I'm starting to wonder if we really are seeing the fall of an empire as it happens. Sure, Southern Cal is ND's one and only rival, but I hate to see the walls crumble before ND could go and knock the Trojans off the pedestal. Still, the Southern Cal fans are starting to see patterns that they don't like. One of the founders of one of the most popular SC boards, Wild West Sports, has this to say (Hat tip: ugoirish)... ...when the adults (Orgeron, Chow, Davis) left the staff USC began ...
What’s Wrong with Southern Cal?
It's gotta be asked. This is a team that's had a better run in the last 5 years than any other program. Pete Carroll has recruited better than any coach in the country since he began his tenure at Southern Cal. They've had more Heisman candidates than any other program in the last 5 years. And yet they managed to nearly lose to a 2-2 Washington who's signature win this season was against Boise State, and then they actually lost to a 1-3 Stanford. WTF? Well, a list of possible excuses ...
