    Wanting someone to fail shows fear of them. Fear is a type of respect.

    In Russian we have a word for it, grozny. There’s no one word translation: it means something like inspiring terror, but not necessarily in a bad way. Like the chicks face in a porno when she’s told that 2 liter is going in through the back. The translators of the 16th century dubbed him Ivan the Terrible, but we call him Ivan Grozny.

    The etymology of the word comes from groza which is thunder, made by the mightiest god in the pantheon - Perun, see image below. As a child I was told unless I behaved that would either eat me or enslave me with other children to make him more axes, which I assumed was for the slaying of other children. As you can tell by the picture Perun was the nicest of the children’s fairytales available to Soviet children, the other ones were quite bleak and scary.



    Anyway, I think either USC is showing respect or they’ve reached the point in the decline of the blue blood where the suffering of others is what sustains them. We can only hope that Mike Bonn’s great head coaching hire at Cincy was an aberration and he’s still a shifty AD that keeps Helton as long as possible.

    “They’ve reached the point in the decline of the blue blood where the suffering of others sustains them”.

    Sounds awful familiar

    They must have watched the Stanford game and didn't realize that "Stanford really wanted it."

    As long as the respect is there, who cares?

    We lost to COVID, they lost to Oregon. Last I checked COVID beat a shit ton more teams than Oregon did this season. Congratulations on another year of Helton, Troy.
