I thought they went after him to replace Pete Carroll and he said no because sanctions and not wanting to live in LA. Then they didnt talk to him when it came time to replace Kiffin.
Who knows though, USC is dysfunction personified.

Today in stupid Rutgers controversies:
http://deadspin.com/rutgers-student-tailgate-shut-down-after-ad-chugs-a-bee-1786876482
Never thought I would see the day that Deadspin became Your Father's Website of Choice.
Seriously, though, I don't get the big deal about the AD taking a sip of beer at a school sponsored tailgating event.
Don't we want our people in positions of authority to be slightly accessible? I think a sip of beer accomplishes that. Hell, I wouldn't have minded if he shotgunned it or took a shot.

Hopefully this Trogan circus continues all season!! We'll have a chance in the crosstown rivalry.
Also another note I'm ok with the amount of correct picks I had. Thought it would he way worse than that.

Uh yeah, he's going to be gone. You think Petrino feels any loyalty for any program he's at? Nope

It's true. We used to be a skimbmilk famiky until we had a kid, then I discovered how amazing whole milk is. Never going back.

Just a heads up, your pediatrician is going to tell you to switch to 2% when your kids is 2, so don't get too attached.

Good grief, the man is a scandal machine, dishonest and yet still keeps getting jobs. Probably only a huge scandal will cause him to not get any more offers. (Only knew about the Atlanta and Arkansas messes)
I like both 2% and Whole. I can tell the difference between that and 1% / skim. Skim basically tastes like shitty powdered milk.
I used to work with someone at the City who swore they couldn't taste the difference between skim and 2% so they just bought skim. They must have had dead taste buds, I can practically tell you which company made you the milk that you just handed me...

I was surprised. There was a lot of variation, but yet there was a bunch of 8s and 9s.

You do you, friend! Just telling you what we were told by pediatricians.

Yeah, from what I recall Peterson turned down USC because of LA.
Part of it is also that the pac-12 has gotten a lot more competitive since he originally turned down USC with the TV money which is why I think he finally went to Washington (that and it is a much better fit for him).
Either way, I love seeing USC be so dysfunctional.

Remember that this discussion was within the fantastical hypothetical that the Huskers were undefeated. I know it's unlikely, but FyreWulff's comment that "We're not going to the playoffs even if we win out." was absurd.
It's bound to work one of these times.

Haven't been posting as much as I'd like as work has been flat out.
Loving the Louisville and Lamar Jackson hype train. I'm on board.
Would be funny to see a Louisville v The U ACC final this year.
Also, THe U's retro uniforms look sweet!

Apparently Tren'Davian Dickson, true freshman 4 star WR that originally signed with Baylor (January enrollee) but transferred to Houston after everything went down, has now left Houston.
Look out for him and Stidham to reunite with Kam Martin at Auburn next season after Malzahn gets the axe and Briles moves in. :jnc

If there's one.. He'll jump on it.
Like I've told him before, pick a team and stick with it.

If you dont feel the pain as well, whats the point!
Exactly. The lows suck but how can you appreciate the highs without them?
He forgot to say boogers are an important part of a balanced diet.

Joel Klatt says Chip wanted USC job but Haden was "too insecure" to hire him:

Really seems like they lucked out with Pete Carroll being a slam dunk. Outside of Pete they've been a dumpster fire.
Man am I glad that Mal Moore (RIP) was the opposite. Went down to Miami and persisted in getting a "Yes" from Saban.

If you ask some of their alumni it's been a black hole since John Robinson left aside from lucking into Pete Carroll. In the 80s they turned into modern day Nebraska and in the 90s they fell off the map entirely.
Everybody kinda just jumps on chicko when he picks a new team, so its kinda hard for him to settle on a team.
It's not like Carroll was even considered a home run hire at the time too.

Hence why I said they lucked into him. He was their fourth or fifth choice.

That's part of the package when picking a school with a pedophilia scandal, a school that is responsible for killing a kid, a school with a notoriously racist history that's probably also about to get nailed by sanctions.
He doesn't have any real ties to those schools, so he just needs to pick better.
He wants to pick an underdog with potential, that's popular enough that he could watch games down there. TBH Nebraska could be a good team for him since they seem to be on the upswing.
Pick the school that has a building named after a lady who founded the Temperance movement.
Also holds the longest losing streak in NCAA football Division I FBS history.
Created a tradition of taking down the goal posts after the games.

I think Draxal's comment sums up my sentiments. I don't have any ties to any team, but I like watching good football.
How can you not get excited when watching Louisville smashing FSU?
or The U possibly becoming better than Georgia after sacking Richt?
or Harbaugh and his antics making Michigan a contender so quickly?
That's the stuff I like about college football.
Because I follow other sports, and have other teams which I am a long time fan of which has brought me plenty of misery over the years.
I get my sports pain from my Australian Rules football team I follow (just knocked out of the finals last week, haven't won the competition in 20 years ...).
My EPL team, Sunderland, is shite and probably wont survive but I stick with them (my first Christmas was spent in Sunderland).
There is a little bit of that as well.
When I first came to this forum, I asked which team I should support and people told me Boise St. They are barely in the news and never get shown on TV in Australia, so I couldn't really follow them.
ACC, SEC and Big 10 are the conferences which get shown most in Australia, as well as most Notre Dame games, so it makes sense I follow a team from one of those. But why only one? That would be boring. So I pretty much support the teams which play against Bama, tOSU, Clemson and FSU. I also don't like Michigan St, Wisconsin (Joel Stave - choker!), UNC, Florida and Auburn as they have cost me heaps of money on bets.
And yet, the only conference to play a game on your home soil is the Pac 12.

You are good people. You do you!
As another mentioned, hop on this Nebraska bandwagon, we are an up-and-coming program!
You do you and pick the teams you want to root for and have fun with it. We just reserve the right to give you shit over your selection.
Edit: unless you pick Tennessee, in which case, fuck you.
Edit 2: awkward using the same phrase as the poster above me, but oh well.
