We haven’t been too impressed with USC and it’s so called recent “dynasty.” With all the talent and hype(and cheating,) the Trojans won only one outright national championship.
Now it looks like the BCS and football writers are looking to take that one national title away.
Let’s count the National Championships for the recent USC “dynasty”: 1/2.
The NCAA hammered the Cheating Trojans today.
Basically what we’ve been saying for years:
The NCAA will reportedly lay down the hammer on the cheating scumbuckets of USC today. And it is about time. This is the rumor: 20 schollies lost, 2 year post-season ban, and forfeiture of wins from at least the 2004 season.
USC’s entire “reign” over the last 8 years has been a bust. Their entire program has been built on cheating. And what did it really get them? I believe you can categorize the entire Carroll era as an EPIC FAIL.
And supposedly new USC head coach Lane Kiffin is upset. What did he expect? I mean seriously.
Now is the time for Notre Dame to stand up and cancel its series with USC. ND should schedule someone more worthy of a rivalry with the world’s most storied program.
Please let us know your thoughts.
That is all.
The sleaze-baggery at USC knows no bounds:
“Yes, Lloyd Lake has been in prison and the Bushes knew that at the time they entered into this agreement with him. He seems to insinuate here that the money was from ill-gotten gains or was drug money. If it is drug money, the Bushes had no problem spending it. ”
We are huge fans of Her Loyal Sons and with the passing of BGS, HLS is in a position to take over the helm of second best ND-blog on the internets(after the IRT, of course.) But sometimes(not often) we disagree with them.
Domer.mq has penned a thoughtful argument on Notre Dame’s future independence. While many will fight alongside him, we are going to have to sit this one out this time.
The Official Her Loyal Sons Reasons for Notre Dame to Remain Independent (in no way officially endorsed by Notre Dame of course)
* Notre Dame must remain independent for the sake of separating ND from the interest of outside force, namely a conference, and particularly a conference that strives to affect the research and education mission of its member institutions.
* Notre Dame must remain independent for the sake of ensuring that ND maintains its national identity, which conference membership would annihilate.
Sorry to disagree, but I disagree.
Following your logic, Notre Dame should immediately leave the Big East.
Northwestern’s academics still thrive in the Big10 and Texas has developed an impressive national identity under the umbrella of the Big12. As has USC and Ohio State. Winning does that. ND should join an expanded Big10 when(not if) they go to 16 teams.
The anti-conference arguments of old don’t hold true anymore. Financially it is a better fit, the schedule would actually get an upgrade from the current slop on the docket, and with Cable TV and the internet, a national fanbase comes by simply winning.
Of course, joining the Big10 with it’s current 11 members should not attract Notre Dame. But a Big10 conference with Texas, Nebraska, and Missouri would be very attractive. If you are arguing against Notre Dame joining a conference, please stop making the same mistake: A meg-Big10 is vastly different than the current, crappy Big10.
