    Not that I have anything against him I just wanted him to be Hawkins 2.0 so I could laugh at you guys.

    I completely relate to, and respect, that. Fair enough.

    Schad is 90% of what makes CFB special.

    Nope

    Two times in the past five years, USC has been picked to win the Pac-12 Conference football championship. Yet the Trojans have yet to win one since Carroll’s departure.

    And so it begins again this season. Media members picked the Trojans as heavy favorites in the South Division at Pac-12 media days in Hollywood on Wednesday and Thursday. They were voted slight favorites to win the conference.

    The players have heard this one before.

    "I don't think any of that really matters to us right now,” linebacker Cameron Smith said.

    Is this the year that post-Carroll USC, which opens training camp Saturday, finally lives up the hype?

    An attitude shift evident Thursday in a ballroom at the Hollywood & Highland Center offered hope, or at least another tease.

    The tumultuous Trojans were … calm. Almost boring. Coach Clay Helton sedately handled questions ranging from the status of USC’s inexperienced offensive line to the release of O.J. Simpson. (The former USC star, recently granted parole from a robbery sentence, won’t be welcome at a practice, Helton said.)

    Helton’s steadiness, players say, has shielded them from dreaming prematurely of championships.

    In an opposite corner of the room, Smith and quarterback Sam Darnold furrowed brows and spoke earnestly.

    "Right now we're just focused on training camp and Western Michigan,” Darnold said of the opening opponent. “But at the same time I think expectations that anyone from the outside has of us, I think our expectations are always going to be higher."

    Two ways to look at this.

    (1) Young guys are bad asses like we'd hoped, and the D will be fierce.

    (2) Brownsocks and his band of merry faggots still suck and this year will be last year, where USC buttfucks us. Again.
    Numbah Wahn.

    Defense is always ahead of offense early in season.

    Not to mention that the defense did this last year as well ... spoke more to the quality of the D than the ineptitude of the O
