I worry more about Urban Meyer going to USC than I do about Oregon landing Troy Franklin.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the last Oregon WR to be drafted in the 1st round was Ahmad Rashad in February of 1972. The Vietnam War ended in April of 1975. In the entirety of their program, Oregon has had only 3 WR’s selected in the the first three rounds (1-3) of the NFL Draft.
Just can't see Meyer to USC. Their well documented legal issues will be expensive and hiring a lightning rod just doesn't seem to match the current environment.
I'm not as optimistic as you. Their many big dick boosters, and they are legion down there, will secure him. A dominating run will cure all of their financial woes and soar them into the black. And Urban has them in the playoff by year three tops.

There will be lots of PR about how Urban is reformed and spent this season in LA volunteering for abused women shelters when not on his Fox Sports LA gig etc etc.

It's coming.
This. He gets all rested up and tanned, while the boosters secure the Brinks trunk next year. Hiring Urban is like guaranteeing yourself a NC at a blue blood. No expense will be spared to make this happen.
Clay Helton would have to get fired first. Obviously the boosters don't control that or else he would have already been fired. Helton went 5-7 last season and Lynn Swann was strong in his support for him against massive fan disapproval of keeping him. If USC goes at least 8-4 this season, Helton is not getting fired.
He's toast
How was he not toast after last season tho? It doesn't make sense to retain him after 5-7 and all the ridiculous drama they went through and then fire him after the team improves to 8-4 or 9-3 the next season. For Helton to be fired, Lynn Swann will have to be fired too because he has Helton's back.

Money issues. Also, the new early signing period moved the coach carousel timing up and caught SC with their pants down. That won't be the case again this year. They have already been scouting out his replacement. Only way Helton stays is $$$ isn't there to get rid of him and the AD continues to be a dumpster fire with bigger priorities.

I think you underestimate how long they are capable of being a dumpster fire.

I never said otherwise, I'm just our doog in SoCal reporting on the Trooj situation. The reality is that unless he disproves that he's a loser coach by doing something like winning the South and/or winning a NY6 again the boosters are already done with him. They wanted him gone before THE BEGINNING of last season but other things kept them from firing him. They've been proven correct that he's a loser and only those other complications will keep him from being replaced yet again.

Obviously, I hope they continue to keep someone as upstanding as Helton in the face of all their other scandals. #FaithFamilyFootball

I ❤️ Clay Helton

As long as he’s there it means Washington, Oregon, and the SEC will be cleaning up SoCal and we don’t have to deal with USC’s legions of t-shirt fans. I’ve never met an actual USC grad who gives a fuck about football. I’m sure they exist, but USC was riding LA not having an NFL team. Now there’s two.

Not even remotely true about SC grads.

And El oh fucking El coming from an Oregon fan.

Are you like 12 years old and have no recollection of the usc machine running a train on the rest of the conference?

They have more fans and tradition than anyone in the conference. They just suck right now.

I was at a wedding two months ago, in the LA area. The bridge and groom met at USC, sat at a table with vapid USC dudes and their wives/girlfriends. No one knew anything about football or cared about it. They did love volleyball though. One dude thought they won the conference title last year. My ex did her undergrad and masters at USC, all her friends didn’t give two shits about football. I’m sure there are some REAL trooojans who care, I just haven’t met any.

KrunkJuice · July 2019

From JHOP's SNL preview:

At Washington, Franklin is being recruited by wide receiver coach Junior Adams. He felt like the staff showed him a lot of love when he was in Seattle.

Clemson is the only offer Franklin has been waiting for that he really covets, and he admitted that it could be a game-changer.

I’d say Washington leads at the moment. But there is a lot of time left on the recruiting clock, and this weekend could give the Ducks a great chance to become contenders and advocate for a return trip during a regular season game.

Glad it stopped short of chinfuriating you. We don't want to see you chinfuriated, just don't.

The dude was so good at Rising Stars Camp it hurt my brain. He made McMillan look like Forest Dunivin (exaggeration for emphasis).

Hmm, his screen name is @DefinitelyNotCoker but I get the sneaking suspicion that this might be @CokeGreaterThanPepsi.

I doubt it. The real @CokeGreaterThanPepsi would not have the time to take away from the Bowdowntowashington.com empire to visit this place for a meaningful amount of time.

It could be one of his assistants posting as him
