@FightOnRusty Are they really gonna fuck up the USC / OSU uniform battle on Halloween night? Because that would be ridiculous

@InsideUSC Well USC would’ve easily made the expanded playoff in year 1 so that’s not really a fair comparison, which I’m sure you already knew

Arizona State made the College Football Playoff in Year 2 under Dillingaham. Washington in Year 2 under DeBoer. But USC was the school that required the really tough rebuild according to excuse-maker Riley

NEW: Lincoln Riley believes USC has now entered its championship window, he tells @whalexander_✌️ “Taking this over, you knew you had to go fight like hell just to try to get this window opened.” Exclusive: on3.com/news/lincoln-r…

Makai was never going to be a beast with measurables. He isn't as fast as Zach Branch, as tall as Duce Robinson, doesn't have the giant hands of Ja'Kobi Lane. But he is better than all of them because he's simply a great FOOTBALL PLAYER.
Don't overanalyze. Watch the film.

USC WR Makai Lemon ran his 40-yard dash for NFL scouts this morning. 4.48 to 4.53 range (according to multiple scouts in attendance)

Not sure the Raiders can have the league do an independent physical given the deal wasn’t official. What a mess.
Raiders probably need to quickly pivot to Dallas.
Andrew Brandt@AndrewBrandt
There's always a transaction or two that doesn't happen before the League Year begins (tomorrow). I guess the Ravens found out something about Crosby they didn't like, got buyer's remorse.

@idkk408 @BryanDFischer Yes they can. It’s called a waiver. Which 1000% would’ve been granted for a usc / nd series. And btw one of the football subcommittees today floated their proposal for allowing week 0 without waivers going forward.
English
@js_plissken @BryanDFischer They can't. The only reason USC can schedule this game is that they play someone who play @ Hawaii and can take advantage of the Week Zero rule.

USC finally has a replacement for Notre Dame on their football schedule and it's... a Week 0 game against San Jose State. Trojans don't play a single P4 out of conference in 2026.

@JaySonTafari Lots of people don’t follow other programs, or simply don’t apply same level of thought on their actions vs their own team.

Folks were mad with promoting Assistants meanwhile Alabama will promote a Riley Assistant 🤷🏽♂️
Matt Zenitz@mzenitz
Alabama is hiring USC offensive analyst Brad Aoki as a pass game specialist, a source tells @CBSSports

@Genetics56 Officiating is borderline criminally bad in the major sports. It’s a big problem.
English
It took about a decade for some Maryland fans to finally forget about the ACC. I'd say by now the majority of Nebraska fans have finally realized they need to be in the Big Ten vs the Big 12 but that took a long time for many to accept. The Pac-12 schools seem very happy in B1G
Brock Rule@indydarkchild40
@Genetics56 They’ll get over it. I wouldn’t mind UNC to the Big Ten

Is there any indication yet for who USC will play to start this coming football season?
English
@buckmetrics @InsideUSC But it’s NOT FAIRRRRRR that the usc ucla “secret shenanigans” now conflict with a thanksgiving holiday on a Thursday once every other year!!!
English
Ohio State also has a bye before USC. Let the whining commence
InsideUSC@InsideUSC
Indiana has a bye before it plays USC. A ready-made excuse for Lincoln Riley defenders
English
@InsideUSC Again, almost every other rivalry plays that week. Including usc / ucla 50% of time. And usc played that week the other 50% of time for ND rivalry activities. In fact, many rivalries are played FRIDAY that week.
English
@js_plissken you don't understand because you're unaware how diminished many of the activities centered around the week become during Thanksgiving. It doesn't affect you. It affects students and the hard-core fans
English
@InsideUSC It’s called “rivalry week” for a reason. And usc / ucla was played this week every other year anyway. And the other time was the other rivalry game. I really don’t understand your point.
English
@js_plissken surivival shouldn't be the goal with rivalries/traditions
English
@TheTrojanBlade Oregon early, and likely after a bye, is a favor

It was a pleasure walking down memory lane for @TheAthletic. Hope u guys enjoy this piece, I’m always pulling for Darnold!!
Thanks @JaysonJenks for making this happen.

@AntonioCMorales You had two weeks to prep it haha. No scheme mention, no defensive performance at TCU, no impact on coaching on staff, no personnel match or mismatch, no discussion on timing… I assume that’s coming later I suppose.

@js_plissken It was a quick news story but go off brother

I know they had to work hard to put the B1G logo on pullover here
