Wonder when tickets will be available.

I'll keep you updated. As a season seat holder I'm sure they'll send emails out and give USC a percentage of the seats. Hopefully we get first dibs

By then they'll have the second best defense in the country (first will be Bama)

 

Hilarious.

Awesome! Thanks man.

If it is anything like the UCLA/Texas series at Cowboy Stadium then they Cowboys will control ticket sales, not the schools.  UCLA and UT got tiny ticket allocations for the game.

[stevestevens]

SC will lose by at least five touchdowns.

 

I'll take that bet.  Double or nothing on the round you owe me at Whistling Straits

[stevestevens]

So that could be Max Browne's first game as a starter.....have fun with that Max.

You must be thinking of Tank.  He made that bet with you.

Barkley beat tOSU @ tOSU in his second game...as a true freshman.  Apples and oranges, but Max Browne will be a redshirt sophomore by then

I'll take that bet too.  Round of golf paid by the loser.

If Stanford or Cal (LOL!!!) aren't in the P12 champ game, they will be lucky to sell 20k tickets to the P12 championship game.

 

I will take that bet in a heart beat.  Loser buys the other a green fee to whistling straits next time I am in Wisconsin.

I hate the multi quote option on this board.

Or Matt Leinart @ Auburn.

Neither here nor there

But it has been done before.

[HaloCory22]

To be fair, beating tOSU isn't anything worth bragging about.

 

Sorry Tank. St1ck told me to say it.

so here's how we'll settle this. you stand in front of stick and i'll punch you in the face. when your head snaps back, it'll hit stick in the face, and then we'll be even.

USC picks up another QB commit. 4* Sam Darnold. More of a dual threat than Town.

http://247sports.com/Player/Sam-Darnold-30430

They also have added

3* OT Clayton Johnson.

http://247sports.com/Player/Clayton-Johnston-43013

4* Ath Isaiah Langley (I think he ends up at corner)

http://247sports.com/Player/Isaiah-Langley-32742

4* WR Desean Holmes (one to watch. I guess he has grade issues. So idk he'll stick)

http://247sports.com/Player/Desean-Holmes-26953

4 players in the last month and 13 spots still open.

"Grade issues" don't keep somebody out of USC unless it happens to be a "he's still in 11th grade" issue.

"Grade issues" don't keep somebody out of USC unless it happens to be a "he's still in 11th grade" issue.

He'll probably be dropped late in the process if he shits the bed in school and end up at ASU.

Notes from Pac12 media day from Sark.

Sark happy to be back

Good players on the team, credit to Lane & Ed

No other school could have weathered these sanctions like USC has

Rick N asked if recruiting from local HS powerhouses was by design. Sark says yes, absolutely. Relationships with those schools is critical

USC will be a run-first team, but doesn't foresee one back getting Sankey-like number of carries. Play action is a QB's best friend.

Enough depth at WR to run fast pace? Sark says yes. Farmer, Rogers, Mitchell, Blackwell, Agholar + new freshmen. But will have to be managed carefully and change it up according to strengths of the team.

Defensive front is the strength of the team. Says good teams are always good up front on defense, says that always gives you a chance.

Will be very aggressive schematically on D. Will be "sticky" in coverage.

Excited about Shaw, Cravens, and McQuay as the leaders of the secondary.

Going in to training camp with only 65 scholarship players. Numbers dictate some changes to camp, more rest, etc. But they will practice as hard as anyone.

I guess Mora was right http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-usc-death-student-security-20140724-story.html

 

By the way, awful and RIP to that kid and thoughts to the family.

"Pete Foster, an officer with the university’s Department of Public Safety, added that "any area around USC is really safe"

I'm guessing Petey doesn't get out of the campus much

USC grabs a verbal from a 2016 prospect. 4* OLB Daelin Hayes out of Michigan.

http://247sports.com/Player/Daelin-Hayes-25739

Rumor has it he will transfer to a school in So. Cal to finish his HS career

[nando714]

Chalk one up for the Trojans.

3*RB Aca'Cedric Ware verbals to USC. He's out of Cedar Hill, Tx.
