Wonderful
Carroll is responsible for USC’s latest letdown – The Daily Trojan
The Daily Trojan blasts Pete Carroll…Bruins Nation is having fun with this…Careful…..
Future sportswriters learn to be lazy hacks and parrot talking points in college. Somewhere Bill Plashcke beams with pride.
Yeap
I find it amazing that some people get suckered into these…I read two lines and moved on. but people should see it…bunch of concern trolls if you ask me.
Heck they could always root for the fraud of a program across town…
What kills me
Is that the Wolfbag posted on this as early as Thursday.
Wolfie ain’t that astute or cerebral, so I’m assuming the “What will it do to his confidence?” theme was brought up by the reporting pool or perhaps someone in the AD or someone in Corp’s inner circle (his dad? Isn’t he always at practice?). By Friday it had become the pre-packaged narrative that the press would run with on Sunday, with either the “Corp Overcomes Questions” or “Carroll Undermines Corp’s Confidence” as the lede.
What gets me is that I hoped that at the Annenberg School they’d teach their students to think outside the box and avoid pre-packaged narrative and regurgitating conventional wisdom.
But apparently Lazy Hackery 206 is a required course.
Meh, just students sticking together against "the man"
Here’s the crux of the article
Corp was not at his best on Saturday, but quarterbacking should never be a pop quiz. Yet Corp is the one who unfairly faces being a potential pariah among students instead of Carroll.Yeah, that mean old Pete Carroll and his millions made those three running backs fumble, and Aaron’s brain turned into scrambled eggs because his psyche was bruised. Kids.
What a tool
He’s flaming out already, in a few months he’ll be demanding his old time slot back.

Here's Leno's numbers from Monday night
From The Live Feed
NBC ranked fourth, it’s two-hour “Heroes” premiere (6 million, 2.7) free falling 46% from last year’s one-hour opener. “Heroes” didn’t face “House” last year, but this is nonetheless a troubling drop. At 10 p.m., “The Jay Leno Show” (5.7 million, 1.8) assumed its third-place position and dipped below a 2.0 for the first time. Though expected, this means “Leno Show” went from being the highest-rated show last Monday among the major broadcast networks to the lowest rated last night.http://www.thrfeed.com/2009/09/house-rises-heroes-falls-big-bang-tops-half-men-and-more.html

That's bad
But, I hear that NBC only needs it to make a 1.7 share to profit, since it is such a low cost production. Maybe that’s just spin. I actually think Leno is the funniest late night host and can’t believe that NBC booted him. Fight on, Jimmy Kimmel!
As far as I’m concerned NBC can/should go down in flames. Nothing against Leno but he’s just a useful idiot, a funny apparatchik.

I'm a bruin, and I think the press is overreacting
There is no doubt that PC is a great motivator, recruiter, and defensive coach.
Suddenly, he has become horrible.
I think there is some valid criticism of his inability/unwillingness to hire an established top tier OC, but the guy is not a bad coach or incompetent. He also is struggling with what to do when you have too many 5 star players, all of whom want to play (particularly running back) , but I don’t think any bruin fan would realistically say this is a problem we wouldn’t want.
This just shows how fickle the media is is. They will be proclaiming him a genius after you guys beat WSU.

The price of being a fan of an elite program
Proudly wearing your team’s baseball cap. Agreeing condescendingly how competitive our conference is. Studying with profound interest the recruiting exploits of amazingly talented coaching staff. Matter of factly reciting the growing list of alumn in the NFL. AHH the glory, the perks, all is well with the world, we are blessed…..
Then you lose one.
The season is over, done, kaput. No national championship game. For a week ( at least) of listening to the misguided fans of lesser teams trash talking, eating crow, paying off wagers. Damn, the ecomony stinks. Anti-depressants are the order of the day- don’t help- .
Then, all of a sudden, its Saturday, your team wins! "They’d better,’ you mutter to your self. What? Whats that? Who just upset who? no way, you say.
Another elite team just got beat. Your out of the spotlight, their turn to get dumped on, now they’ll know what its like, hhmmmph.
You know our recruiting class looks killer for next year, if we can just…..
