Odds and Ends
In case you were sleeping, here's a rundown of everything that's happened over the past eight months. It's been a long offseason.
And yes, for better or for worse, that's my voice.
Football Season is Finally Here!

It finally starts today...
After what has been one of the most tumultuous off-seasons in college football history, the 2010 season finally starts today.
We can finally focus on football.
We can put the all the events of the off-season in the past.
Tonight we see how this USC team and staff have come together and how they will respond after being national punching bags for the past eight months.
As I have said at the start of every season...I don't really know what to expect. The previous four seasons always started with questions, I knew we had the talent but that talent didn't always perform as expected. Be it because of coaching (the whole 2009 season) or lack of drive (the loss to OSU in 2008) or just plain bad luck (a crappy polling and ranking system in 2008) 'SC always hit a stumbling block that took the season off course of playing for an MNC.
There is no point in reliving it because it is in the past.
The obstacles this years team faces are not of their own doing. This team has to pay the price because of the actions of one rogue player and an over zealous NCAA. The piling on from the haters, real or imagined, from the press or rival programs must be a lot to bear. But as has been noted before, this team has taken on an us against the world attitude.

Is Pat Haden Planning USC's Independence?

Interesting take from the OCR...
ocruscblog AD Pat Haden on SC going independent: "You have to look at every opportunity" but no "ulterior motives or plans to advance the ball on this" 02 Sep 2010 from TweetDeck
-- this quote was brought to you by quoteurl
ocruscblog More Haden: "Would we every consider (independence)? I think you have to. .. In today’s environment, you have to consider every alternative" 02 Sep 2010 from TweetDeck
-- this quote was brought to you by quoteurl
I would have no problem if he did but it is a big step. I am sure the OCR will hve more later...
SBN Pac-10 Preview
Jeff did a great job with this. Check it out.
Lane Kiffin won't be the head coach of USC next year?
Is this guy serious?
What's he smoking?
One year from today Lane Kiffin will not be the head coach at Southern California USC. Just call it a hunch. But with Pat Haden as the new sheriff at Heritage Hall, and with his old receiver J.K. McKay (among others) keeping an "eye" on the football program, you have to wonder how long the Boy Wonder is going to put up with the New World Order. Haden has already sent Reggie Bush's Heisman back and will eventually have to send back the 2004 BCS championship trophy and the Football Writer's Grantland Rice national championship trophy. Haden has made it clear there will be zero tolerance for shenanigans. Not sure Lane can do zero tolerance.
