I haven't seen one SC fan in here, including myself, do anything but give much respect, props and love to UT and their fans. It was a helluva game and there had to be a winner and a loser, and USC came out the loser this time.

However, unlike some "also rans" type programs, the SC fans can find comfort in the fact that the Trojans are loaded with talent, and will continue to reload and reload and reload, and remain an elite program, rightfully so, for some time to come. You can't win em all, but it sure feels good knowing you got a legit shot of winning it all year in and year out. Longhorn fans look to be about ready to enjoy that feeling once again as well.

Nah dude. They're going to lose their first game to UL Lafayette. Since I've been on these boards, I've learned that you must have actually attended said school to pull for them. That being said, since I attendend ULL (USL at the time) for one semester straight out of high school, that's who I have to pull for. The school I graduated from won three consecutive national championships while I was there, but since they were D-II it doesn't matter around these parts.

Go Ragin Cajuns! Try not to get beat by fifty!!!!

Huh?

There's a lot of people on this board who pull for teams from schools they didn't attend.

I'll give DII and DIII props for a few things. First, their athletes are far closer to the NCAA ideal of student-athletes than is the case at most 1A schools. Also, they determine their national champions on the field.

That having been said, DII and DIII, unfortunately, aren't exactly the most fan-friendly sports venues around. It's damn near impossible to follow and get behind one of those teams unless you either: (a) go to that school; (b) went to that school; or at a minimum (c) know somebody who plays on the team, or at least goes to the school.

Or have a buddy who lives across the street from a D3 staduim...and not just ANY stadium, might I add...the stadium that is home to by far THE WINNINGEST TEAM IN CFB HISTORY!!!!!!(That's the Linfield Wildcats-btw)

Of course, they were my "other" team before he moved there, but it doesn't hurt that my bestest football bud lives across the road from Linfield now.

Um the reason it is claimed is because it is defined as an AP Title, dipshit. The same one that allotted many a bullshit title to much less deserving teams over the years. I also did not see many in the media denying their claim which was never claimed before its presentation. Another reason is because they were pushed out of a game they damn well deserved to be at and if it had been any other school than a fucking Pac-10 there is no god damn way in hell an AP voted #1 school gets pushed out of the BCS and don't give me this computer bullshit. They were pushed out to let LSU get in there and play at home against this OU fraud that got bitch slapped by KU. LSU played a team that had no business being there while SC took on one of their top 5 toughest opponents over this stretch, Michigan.

So you know what FUCK YOU. It is SC's title and if you don't like it fuck off. SC was the best team at year's end in 2003 and everyone except a Louisiana dwellar or Pac-10 hater knows it. They took on some of the best defenses over this period and ripped them apart and many top rushing offesnes got stuffed and QBS dismantled when they went to the air. They embarrassed that OU team with the same pocket general when LSU escaped with a TD victory.

Blow it out your ass.

SC IS still the shit and I would still take them TO COVER that TD 7, 8 out of 10 times vs Texas. Arrogant? Why the hell shouldn't I be? I know what this team is made of and know what they are capable of. While Texas did plenty to win that game, SC did do them a couple of favors and they took advantage as a championship team should. Anybody that wants to try and tell us our Trojans are not what we think they are....bwahahahahaha. Our boys are the shit and our program is back. Deal with it.

Fight on for life!

A little harsh, but the point is valid. To say that SC would cover against Texas 7, 8 times is myopia at it's best. Just because you're an SC fan doesn't mean you can;t be honest with yourself and admit that the defense was exploited just as was expected by UT fan and just as we had hoped wouldn't be as SC fan. The D was obviously suspect as evidenced by the Fresno St. game. The deal is this. SC's D looked great when they got teams into forced game plans, i.e. passing offense because they were down so many points. Any team can become better defensively if you force your opponent into a predictable offense. Those games that SC played where the opponent hung around, you could see their defense struggle to stop said team.

I'll agree that SC made some mistakes that would have helped them to hang on to a 12 point lead, or even build a bigger lead. But let's face it, they could have played until Sunday and they still couldn't stop VY. As an SC fan, I'm not so myopic to not be able to admit as much. You should as well.....dumbass :P

Dumbass · Post by **Dumbass** » Fri Jan 06, 2006 9:07 pm

Lax, over the past 5 years or so, you haven't impressed me in the least either so you can take your comment and shove it.

No, I am a myopian that saw his team squander a two score lead. I saw Texas fans leaving the bar in the 4th quarter because they had given up on their team seeing how they were being put away. I saw a Heisman trophy winner push out an inexplicable lateral after a 30-40 yd gain, the same kind of stupid decision that put OU in a two TD hole last year on the punt return. I saw the offensive coordinator call the same moronic QB sneak that Notre Dame stuffed, only to have Reggie cheat out the win, and turn the ball over on downs and then they somewhat do it again with the game on the line giving VY about 30-40 yards they didn't need to. Oh and that 4th and 1 that got stuffed followed a Jarrett over thrown pass to a completely wide open WR for a TD. Leinart's 365 passing yards could have easily surpassed 450 if they would have continued to open it up. I was screaming all 2nd half for them to keep putting it up, it was freaking there and they started doing it but they end up rushing another 3 out of 4 on the 2nd to last drive after Matt began picking that defense apart the previous two drives. They got cautious and played right into Texas. Mistakes I do not think they make enough in my scenario to lose 4 games.

Call it what you want guys, myopian, dumbass? I don't care. Maybe I lose the mortgage payment but I saw an SC team playing with a lack of respect. A lack of respect I think they felt they overcomed and then they Texas promptly put the pressure back on them. Call me what you want but if you are trying to spin it and define my claims as adding to that disrespect you couldn't be farther from the truth. I have plenty of respect for Texas. I have plenty for Notre Dame and Michigan as well and even our northern friends from Fresno State. Sorry that I have confidence in my team. Sorry that I think that a team that put away the best competition the nation had to offer for 3 years could continue along those same lines and finish with a .700 record against what is one of the best they did face.

J, you dumbfuck.

"It's" referred to the AP or can you not fucking read you dumbass?

Good point putting up the BCS TROPHY.

We got one too bitch and there will be more in the near future.

Dumbass · Post by **Dumbass** » Fri Jan 06, 2006 9:14 pm

See I can do that too, retard.

LOL, you think you could possible make me feel disheartened by that? Bwahahaha. Knowing what the Trojans have done and how they have rebuilt this program? Bwahahahaha.

That's funny because I never knew I was supposed to try and impress you. The other funny thing is that you've never mentioned anything I've posted over that time period until I banged on your beloved sperm receptacles.

Have the confidence in your team, most people in here do, to a relistic point. I said this way before the season started: SC will have trouble on defense because with Chow leaving PC will take a more involved role in the offense which will then make the defense suffer. Well it showed. They lucked out vs. ND, Reggie won the game vs. Fresno St, but it all caught up to them vs. Texas. If their defense doesn't get better and Pete continues to be involved with the offense I'm sure you'll see a lot more teams run up big yardage and points vs. the Trojans. You site a lack of respect, well maybe that comes from senior leadership that guys like Grootegood, Cody, Patterson etc...had that these kids don't. Call me what you want but I'm not out to impress you. All of a sudden you have state populated with the new breed of Trojan fan who claim they've been around forever but have only been around for 3 years. There's also the group that were calling for PC's head after starting 6-6 and losing the LV bowl. It seems that most (not all) of you come out when you're winning and when someone calls you on it then you get all menstrual and bitchy about it.

Good grief...dwell much? It wasn't a rule just a funny, curious observation. How can one be so rabid about a team they just started cheering for two years ago..? No biggie.

With the schedule SC has the only question mark will be ND. The conference will be weak (as usual) and Arkansas and NU won't challenge them. Either one loss or undefeated for SC and another BCS bowl.

I've never stepped foot in the state of Pa. yet I've been a Penn St. fan for as long as I have memory of college football. Nice whiff...

So over the last few days most SC fans on here have been rather classy in the aftermath. Yet, Jsc decides to bring a moot point up. When you have accuracy on your side, Counsellor, there is no need for idiotic arrogance.
