Barkley Decision Today

  • I like the fact he came back. If everything works out we could have the "Game of the Century" when they play.

    Also, who could blame Barkley for staying. The confidence a 4 yr starter has in his Sr year must feel great. That said, DT is gonna be a bad ass as well, and have better WR's next year than this year.

    So bring it condoms, just hope the male Barbie Doll stays healthy. That's your only hope.

    No offense, but talking smack about that game makes no sense considering they won five BCS games during that run and we still haven't gotten one. Sanction smack is perfectly acceptable

    Smack police? It's not even my intention to talk smack. He claimed that they win all of the big games and I pointed out that not all. No smack, just informational.
    I dont even hate the Trojans. The team is actually pretty fun to watch as they have incredible athletes and feature an exciting pro style offense. Plus the 7 year reign of domination was amazing. I remember dreading those games.

    They still beat the other team on the field during a BCS game. There is a reason that vacating bowl victories is a joke of a punishment, mainly that nobody cares as the only difference is the asterisk above the outcome in the record books.

    I care when a player who isn't supposed to be there is playing.

    I would think that's important to people who value fair play in CFB.

    I see what you are saying now, I just took your post to be a little more aggressive.

  • Solid news for the pac12. As for the ducks, if they can't beat USC next year with barkley it won't matter much as they wouldn't have been able to beat the top sec team anyways in the ship

    I'd rather stay home than embarrass myself, my conference, and my university.

    This coming from the team that has already embarrassed themselves, the conference, and the university when they got caught making illegal payments in multiple sports... you managed to do both stay home AND embarrass the conference.

    There's only ever been one PAC 12 champion and it's not USC.

    Edit to add... my favorite photo of Barkley. biggrin

    USC is like a german car, every piece that breaks is of the highest quality.

    USC made payments, now, huh? Would you mind showing me where they made payments in multiple sports? I've read the COI's report. I highly doubt you could get past the first page.

    Keep believing in your fantasy that USC pays their players. If I were you, I would check out ESPN and a host of other sports networks. Because after the Ohio State sanctions were announced, everyone and their dog knew that the NCAA had it out for USC.

    How else was the NCAA supposed to ensure the SEC got their championships? We all knew Oregon wouldn't beat em.

    I assume he was referring to OJ Mayo. Obviously USC didn't pay bush. Anyways, should be a dirty USC team next season

  • Did we all know that? I was pretty sure we would win. Wish someone would have told me.
    I guess it makes sense though. If you have major boosters provide financial assistance valued at over 100k to the players family, you will win a championship. That's probably why we lost. Crap, I knew we were missing something.

    So now USC has boosters paying the players families? You should get Yahoo to do another investigation.... I'm sure Sheridan will be able to find the bagman... just like the Newton case... oh wait...

  • How much was that house worth again? California house prices are nuts. Also how much does the range rover cost?
    If you find me a fair article that shows a different side to the story I will be more than happy to read it and potentially change my mind regarding what I think happened.
    As for the Cam newton garbage, please don't stand up for the mockery that the NCAA allowed to happen. Just because the NCAA screwed you guys shouldn't make you root for them to screw others.
    As of right now, I think bush took gifts. At the same time I think your punishment was not fitting to the crime. Especially not when compared to what has gone on at Ohio state, penn state, auburn, and Miami.

    To call the people who gave Reggie's parents free rent at the house "boosters" of USC is ludicrous. They were marketers that were attempting to start a sports agency and gave the free rent in order to entice Reggie to sign with them.

    Furthermore, how exactly is one-year of rent worth $100k? The house itself had a value of somewhere around $500-600k.

    Lastly, you have no clue what you're talking about. The Range Rover? Not even connected to Reggie Bush. That was Joe McKnight's girlfriend's... and it was completely legit.

    BTW, I have lived in the same apartment complex as a lot of the Duck players. Care to explain the unlicensed Range Rover that one of them drives? Do you think that is a little fishy, hmm?

    Unlicensed huh? Every car that the players get has to be ok'd by the compliance department. There was some grumbling about LaMichael trading cars with a friend, which was an old range rover but it was investigated and nothing came of it.

    It had no license plates on it for a period of at least 6 months. I haven't seen it since. I'm not making any accusations, just pointing out a shady Range Rover story after the above poster referenced an incorrect one relating to USC.

    BOLO to residents of the Golden State: One of your asylums in missing an inmate-he can be recognized standing on street corners ranting that "the Trojans run a clean program-the NCAA and the SEC have conspired against them." A classic delusional paranoid.
    Do not approach-subject reeks of urine from wetting himself.

  • Ansenteetrojan has quickly become my favorite Trojan poster. I apologize for getting my car people mixed up. Also, as you can imagine I don't read every USC article so I never saw the explanation on the range rover incident.
    You can count me in the group that's excited to have USC back next year. It's really not that fun to go to games expecting to blow everyone out every game. As much as I want the ducks to go undefeated every year I would rather us win a lot and watch some good games.

  • Any chance the barkley news has any effect on lamichaels decision? I think lmj has some unfinished business ... unlike barkley, james has made it to the national championship. I still think james comes back and I think this barkley news just adds to my thoughts on james returning.

  • LMJ is gone. If he's smart he'd go to the NFL. No point on risking a major injury. I'm betting a team takes a chance on him between late 1st and late 2nd. Some people might laugh at that prediction but you'd be surprised on how many teams would shoot high on him before somebody else snags him from under them. Too the analysts it's called reaching, but to the team who drafts him it's the guy we wanted and felt he wouldn't be there for us in the next round. Look at Jahvid Best who had a long string of injuries and concussions, wasn't a Doak Walker Award Winner or a Heisman Finalist and was taken high. LMJ smashes Best period. Yeah people will say Quiz was taken late but cmon Quizz is nowhere near a LMJ. A lot of teams wish they had a Darren Sproles. He is being labeled as a DS clone, but LMJ is unique in his own style and NFL coaches im sure will see that. Just wait and see. Remember this post come April 2012;-)

    BMUG, for LMJ I hope you are right. And if you are a beer on me :)
