about popular belief? I am sooo tire of this shit. A fight at football practice is NOT news. The injury is worse than we would have expected, and SH should have to make this right with an apology; sounds like he has, and some form of discipline. I don’t think this is a big deal. After all it’s not like he put two people in the hospital. This didn’t happen in a game against an opponent, or in the dorms. F the haters.

Seriously, the level of media coverage for this poor kids is sick. Kiff had to send a message, but it is all media masturbation. It is good for USC to break in some FB back-ups and rest superstud Stanley early in camp. I guarantee you that Stan learned his lesson, which is that he is too frkn strong to risk hitting people. I also know that TJ got the message which is that this season is different. No f’ing around this season. We must kill this season to send a big F U to Hater Nation and the NCAA.

Coach Carroll didn’t seem to get through with some of the players last year, and it showed in losses to Oregon, Stanford, and Arizona respectively. The Washington game was 50-50 in my book. A case of Aaron Corp AND no pop from either O- or D- lines.

I can understand Stanley’s reaction to a fellow upperclassman shluffing or not going full-bore on the last day’s drills. These guys have got to get it through their thick heads that the Pac 10, wins, and all the accolades aren’t just going to be handed to them because they play for ‘SC. I don’t condone Stanley’s actions, these things happen from time to time.

Let’s hope this is just an isolated case of fighting on the team for this year. If not, maybe some guys on the team need a swift smack to the chops? I don’t have an answer for reasons why they’d think they can take a play or two off or why they won’t push themselves each and every minute they’re out there practicing?

Stanley’s got major seniority on many of these guys. It’s within his scope as a leader of the team to get guys to push themselves- but as a leader, he must also maintain some self-control and be the mature one when/if altercations start getting out of hand.

A stiff left lead jab, feint, with a double pump uppercut to the sternum or ribs will do the trick. If anything, that second pump to the body will definitely do the trick. Potential to break a bone with that move is remote- but . . . .the target will be found and the person who may/may not deserve will be doubled over in some degree of pain and discomfort.
