Carson Palmer

Palmer Now Loves OSU

As I wrote earlier this week, I loved Carson Palmer's frankness and honesty when asked about Ohio State and the Buckeye fans when he appeared on 570 KCAL last week. While you may disagree with his statement, at least he was being honest. Predictably, Palmer has now backtracked from his statement and ... 22Jul2008 | Joey | 0 comments | Continued

USC’s Starting Offensive Line for 2008, A Tough Bunch!

Last week, I projected what should be the starting backfield for the Trojans opener against the University of Virginia, who, by the way, Las Vegas projects as 18-point underdogs. But that’s the Vegas line, not mine. I will wait until the Trojans get set to put in their game plan during the final week ... 21Jul2008 | J.P. | 0 comments | Continued

Like an Intelligent Person, Carson Palmer Hates Ohio State

Bengals quarterback and USC Heisman Trophy winner Carson Palmer is a man of few words and usually does not have much to say to the media. However, when he does decide to speak, he appears to come across as a very intelligent individual and mastermind of the the egotistical nature of college football fans. This ... 20Jul2008 | Joey | 1 comment | Continued
Thomas Williams

Texts from Troy

Even being a backup linebacker at USC has its benefits... Former Trojan Thomas Williams signed a four-year contract worth nearly $2 million with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday. Williams was a fifth-round draft pick and will get a $174,500 signing bonus to go along with the $1.7 million contract. T-Will started just 14 games ... 17Jul2008 | Joey | 0 comments | Continued

USC’s Rudy: The Ben Malcolmson Story

Everybody in college football circles is at least somewhat familiar with Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger, who walked on to the Notre Dame football team in 1976 and was immortalized in 1993 with TriStar Pictures' production of the movie Rudy. While Rudy gets a lot of publicity to this day, his efforts as a Notre Dame ... 12Jul2008 | Joey | 2 comments | Continued

Mike Williams

Ex-Trojan Williams Not as Fat

Most USC fans remember Mike Williams as a dominating wide receiver who became a lifesaver for quarterbacks Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart  during his freshman and sophomore seasons at USC. Williams was so dominant as an underclassman (2,579 and 30 TDs) that many expected the 6'5" wideout to shatter many of the schools all-time ... 7Jul2008 | Joey | 0 comments | Continued

2008 CFB Preview: Which is the Toughest Conference

2008 USC Football Preview: The Schedule

One of the things that fans often do with the season vastly approaching is to take a quick glance at the schedule and start marking a "W" for just about every single game. Instead of writing "W's" for the USC and UCLA games this year, I thought it would be more appropriate to ... 4Jul2008 | Joey | 2 comments | Continued
