Let’s face it, at some point the guy will jump back to the NFL, it seems inevitable, but… Atlanta? Maybe the single worst job in the league right now? Seems a little nutty, if you ask me.
Posted in Coaches, The Bigs, USC | No Comments »So, in today’s LA Times, Bill Plaschke practically creams himself exalting Bellotti as the man who can make UCLA the Trojans’ equal in this city. And he says that Mike Bellotti is 5-3 against Pete Carroll. What? Am I missing something? Carroll lost to Oregon his first season, then Carson beat them 44-33, then they [...]
Posted in Coaches, Oregon, UCLA, USC | No Comments »LA Magazine has a profile (or maybe it’s an anti-profile) of Pete Carroll. Good stuff, although we’ll admit that #23 kind of made us throw up a little bit in our mouth.
Posted in Coaches, USC | No Comments »From Adam Schefter: HOUSTON — NFL coaches are returning to the college ranks, and the trend might not be over.

Posted in Coaches, The Bigs, UCLA | No Comments »December 1, 2007 has come and gone, which means that this wild and crazy season is over.

I might watch, since there’s nothing else sports-related on television, but these two teams are seriously dull. Saturday: Early Games: Wisconsin at Ohio State on the Big Ten Network (noon Eastern).

Posted in Coaches, Nebraska, USC | No Comments »2007 – USC 38, Notre Dame 0 After doing its best impression of the Marshall Thundering Herd, USC handed Notre Dame its worst loss in the rivalry, 8th worst loss in the history of the program, and the worst home loss since the Irish were topped by Boomer Sooner in 1956.

Posted in Coaches, Marshall, Notre Dame, USC | No Comments »Well guys, probably the only USC fan who enjoyed that game was Mitch Mustain, and maybe he’s wondering if the Razorbacks still have a spot for him (believe me they do).
