PrintHolly is sitting for Doc Saturday this week and she has a nice post up on SC...
They've become almost mundane in their good-at-football-ness, so much a part of the collective sports fan subconscious that when I read this morning that eight USC players made the preseason All-American watch list, I didn't even blink:
It begs the question, though: Are they really that good, or are we all so used to being told how good they are that it becomes simply routine to accept their alleged superiority? It's a little of both, really.• Quarterback - Aaron Corp
• Running back - Joe McKnight
• Wide receiver - Damian Williams
• Center - Kristofer O’Dowd
• Offensive linemen - Charles Brown, Jeff Byers
• Defensive backs - Taylor Mays, Josh Pinkard
I pointed this list out this morning in the Daily Links but it is nice to see SC get some balanced exposure.
Holly was fair and to the point!

Thank you, dear!
As opposed to our one commenter who insists USC would get trounced by…Tennessee, Auburn, and Missy State. I mean, I’m an SEC homer, but gooood night.

Well, that’s a compliment if complimenting her beauty but not so much if commenting on loyalty and morals?
Oooh, Greek mythology!
Ahh, Helen of Troy, “the face that launched a thousand ships!”
Who could blame the former Helen of Sparta for leaving that fat ass pig Menelaus and his merry nation of whacked out misogynists and warring psychopaths? Stray dogs couldn’t stay loyal to those clowns. It reminds one of that “nation” of pretend Greeks doesn’t it?
Helen was lucky to be carried away by Heroic Paris, and she rightfully succumbed that elegant and sophisticated Trojan charmer. Figure it out Pablo, it’s no secret that modern day Trojans also get the beautiful girl, ugla bRuins get the ugly girl.
so you’re saying that girls at USC are superficial, will cheat on you with the first pretty girl, always pick a loser.. hmm :-P (i kid, i kid…)
PS- aren’t you married to a “bRuin”?
You are correct Pablo!
Paris was, all-and-all, just a pretty boy. He wasn’t heroic in the least. Hector the heroic one. It was he who scurried away Paris and Helen from Greece- if only to keep his brother safe (besides, the dowry Helen took with her- of course from King Menalaus’ riches, was TOO GOOD to pass up. She embezzled A SHITLOAD OF CRAP back to Troy. So yeah, Helen was pretty and all. But she was also a skank, thief, lowdown Cougar/MILF!

An attractive woman with cash is a serious proposition. Enough to get the house burned down? I wonder what Leinart would say on that subject, given his (alleged) experience with Ms Hilton and any associated burning that might have resulted…
I don't find Holly to be possess Helen's character flaws
But I’d agree with you DC that she is our Helen- in beauty only. (I saw her. . . .ahem. . .picture one time and. . . .well. . . . she’s lovely and. . . .has truly dazzling mammaries. . .er. . ahem. . .as it were).

That's a rather Victorian way of judging her Bix!
We live in an age where people believe an unrepentant pedophile should be sitting at the Right Hand of The Lord. For crying out loud! All Helen did was “upgrade” to a hunky guy and take a fat divorce settlement, no? She was a liberated woman amigo, people wouldn’t bat an eye now.
Yes, Paris was no Hector, but he wasn’t so straight laced that he couldn’t make a move. To lovely Helen he was indeed a hero!
Never trust a Greek (or bRuin?) bearing gifts! The Greeks were scum; their victory over noble Troy was brought about by treachery and it cost them in the end. Remember what Caesar (who descended from Aeneas) proclaimed one day : "That which was the mighty empire of Greece is no more. We have toppled their highest buildings, taken their people as slaves, and sown their fields with salt. This truly is a glorious day for Rome and for the world!"
Indeed.

I guess I'm a Victorian-kinda guy then?
Hector and Paris were guests of Menalaus’ before he went off to pummel some minion-state that was stonewalling the authority of Agamemnon and Menalaus’ rule. Guests. While on the war path, Paris put his moves on Helen. Helen initially rejected his overtures, but she finally acquiesced and decided- if my man won’t come back for me (maybe he died during his rampages?), I’m taking what’s mine and boning out to Turkey with pretty boy and his buffed-out brother!
It was only because King Priam (Aenaes’ nephew?) became bewitched by Helen that he decided not to give her back and fight off the mighty Greeks. Otherwise, like Hector thought- she was almost too much trouble for the effort.
The Trojans lost the war because of Athena. And the Greeks didn’t have a monopoly on treachery. I mean, who brings a bigass heavy-as-can-be ginormous monstrosity of a wooden horse inside their impenenatrable city walls? Egads! That was a major flaw. Had Hector not fallen to Achilles, that would have never happened.
I’m well aware of Aeneas’ progeny Romulus and Remus. Dynasties do fall. Ceasar (pronounced: kai-zur) also was a bit of a pedophile himself!

edit-
King Priam was uncle to Aeneas, it looks like I implied Priam was nephew to Aeneas. That’s not the case whatsoever. Aeneas was lucky enough to remain alive during the Greek power surge on Troy. He was “rafting” it and was made adrift until he came across a very lucky “savior”- which brought him to the land of what is now Italy and obtained his lands and wealth through trickery and marriage.

Very scholarly
but where’s the swashbuckling romanticism? Money, power, lies, stupidity… it makes me think of the global warming… er “climate change” debate sigh
Not a bRuin Pablo
Her degree is from a private college in Chicago. When we moved to LA the Locowife merely “went” to ugla to take a few classes she needed for her business major. She looks lovely in Cardinal & Gold, and cheers louder than anyone.
Mrs. Loco's Field Trip
I believe that Mrs. Loco’s visits to Westwood were in support of her thesis for her prestigious private university degree in Chicago. The thesis studied the state breakdown and erosion of social capital and the attendant effect on destitution among Westwood proletariats.
You nailed it!
It was a study of the redistributionist mob that rules mid-campus. Talk about erosion of social capital; that Alinsky inspired, MECha infected rabble hatched luminaries Mayor Tony and our pal Murshed “Nestor” Zaheed, as well as most of his BN cohorts.
Dude, Pablo-
Helen was of Greek ancestry. She’s only Trojan through a misappropriation of name (Helen of Troy should read: Helen The Adulteress)
Paris’ pick-up line that wooed Helen: "Hey pretty thang! You’re beautiful, you look like you got a little Trojan in you?
Helen: "Well, as a matter of fact- no! I don’t.
Paris: “Want some?”
(she’s Greek buddy. she’s quite superficial and materialistic and a lying ho)

Maybe a USC thing
But growing up in the Downey area, only about a third of the women were like that. But know living in OC and most of the women come across that way, whole lot of vanity in this county. Every time I see a beauty driving a Ferrari, turbo Porsche, Lambo and a Range Rover, I usually think to myself not her money.
