Bama fan here to talk anything SC/Bama/football related....

  • Alonzo Harris said...

    I agree a WR loss wouldn't be as big a blow as some other positions due to quality depth there with Farmer and Flournoy.

    I think DT is the one place that we can't sustain an injury. George Uko is very solid and probably a future 1st round pick, but there are two redshirt frosh playing behind him. If he gets hurt we will have to slide our starting NT JR Tavai to DT and have our other NT Antwuan Woods take over, which would be ok for a starting unit, but would really hurt the rotation there. Basically, Uko needs to stay healthy, as do Tavai and Woods.

    Heyward and Horton can play inside too. Things are not as bad as perceived.

    This will be Max and Codys redshirt freshman year not redshirt Soph.
    Also Scroggins will be a RS-Soph, not RS-Junior.

    Max/Cody will have 3 years eligibility after Barkley leaves.

    I'm sure Max Browne will try and shake some feathers in 2013 if the other 2 aren't getting the job done.

    Thanks. My sentence was originally going to be about next year (after Barkley leaves) and what they'll be, but then I changed it to say this year and forgot to edit.

    Jesse Scroggins not only has "a rocket on his arm" as you so eloquently put it, but is very accurate, too. I'm still pulling for this kid, assuming he can get his grades in order, to become USC's #2 QB.

    TLK cool

    I hear he has some work to do to get outa Kiffins dog house.
    He wants a smart, motivated, team leader as a QB (along with all the physical stuff)
    Being lazy with your school work is not a good sign. That's letting yourself, your family and your team down.

    The only way he takes that #2 spot is if he outperforms the other 2 in a big way, BIG way. Makes the other 2 look like ucla QBs. Making the decision not to try in school is bad for a USC QB. Kiffin wants someone who is ALL in!

    I hear you. However, just look at Curtis McNeal's recent academic issues and compare where he is now. peace

    Agreed, but we love having Horton on the edge and Heyward isn't proven yet. Williams hopefully can play inside as well. Its not an emergency situation like last year at CB unless there are a TON of injuries.

    I just think that Uko being a force in the middle is the key to a NC trip for us this year.

    No doubt, many Trojans have had some academic troubles and turned it around.
    But the USC QB grades on a different level. He's expected to be perfect! He needs to be the leader of USC football on and off the field. The face of the program.
    AND your competing against other ELITE all world QBs for that golden spot.
    The starting QB of the USC Trojans.
    Thats one of the biggest spotlights in all of college sports now a days.

    ...and Kiffin takes that selection seriously. He will have to make that massive decision in 2013...tryouts for that spot are ongoing. May the best man win!

  • It looks like Sims is headed to Virginia.

    Will Scroggins continue to tough it out at SC, or does everyone expect him to transfer at some point?

    Do not sleep on Farmer and Blackwell. Throw in Agholor (Marqise Lee v.2.0), we should be the deepest team at WR. Agholor playing reminds of Lee so much, especially how smooth he was coming out of high school.

    Depth at RB is an issue, hopefully Morgan or Allen can step up and fill this void along with Soma taking some carries as well. Not sure McNeal can carry the ball 20+ carries effectively.

    Agholor is coming in as a RB, or will at least see a lot of time there.

    UGA and Florida are the only ones I consider rude and obnoxious, but I think there are reasons for that perception.

    That's not to say everyone doesn't have theirs though.

    The difference in those are that they are the fanbases that are much different than the rest. UGA, mainly because of Atlanta has a melting pot of fans that aren't traditional in nature I guess. Plus, UGA fans probably have a chip on their shoulder because they have to constantly deal with every other fanbase as Atlanta has huge numbers of alums from all the other SEC schools. It's the South's LA, New York, or Chicago in regards to a place a lot of people end up. Florida is just not a "Southern" school so they are just completely different from the rest of the conference and are just cocky. We have had a lot of fun with them in our meetings in Atlanta though.

    Mosy would say LSU, but they are probably my favorite. They are all about the good time and I love going there. Alabama and Auburn fans are obnoxious on message boards for sure, but you probably won't find a nicer group of traveling fans outside of maybe Nebraska.

    It's just like anything else though. There are good and bad people everywhere though. I've never had a problem with any fanbase outside of Texas though. I lived in Austin for 2 years and thought they were the worst I had ever seen.

    His transfer was expected, IMO. He was faced with a situation that would have had him sit for 2 more years and he wants to play. There was also some family issues as well, but he wouldn't be leaving if he was starting. Combine the 2 and he is making the smart decision. Great kid though and a wonderful family. A lot of rfespect for the guy. He gets a lot of credit for pushing AJ to become a great QB as well.

    Lacy should have a great year. One of the top 20 backs last year, easily, but was behind Trent and had nagging injury issues. I expect him to leave after this year as well. Not a #3 pick in the draft, but late first, probably a 2nd round guy. Not as proven, but right behind Lattimore for SEC backs. Great receiver as well.

    How is Bama's recruiting going for 2013 ?

    Recruiting is going great.

    Have the numer 2 guy in Foster and should have 3 of 247's top 10 with the Dkemdieche (sp?) kid and the Allen kid from Virginia (he's from Bama).

    Looking to add 3 or 4 more OL as a priority as well.

    Big priority is Cooper, the QB from Utah. He'll be back for camp this summer and I think he'll commit then as well.

    It's kind of like it was at SC under PC and they way it looks like it will be with Kiffin. So much talent it is ridiculous. Hope the dream never ends. Saban and his staff are just tireless and I can't thank the man enough for what he has done here. Exceeded even the loftiest of expectations he had when he arrived.

    usctrojan1 represents you well on tBB and she always tries to get me here more often.

    Hoping to get out to SC for another game soon. My dad's an alum and it's been too long since we made the trip.

    We toured the new basketball arena when we were out there last and were very impressed. Your admin is doing great things with your campus as well and I'm pumped to see it.

    Catch you later

    Haha, you BETTER keep coming back, I'll hound you to death...and if you visit for a game, you BETTER tailgate with us!

    The Bama fans are all pretty cool, I hope you can bring some over when the season starts. The guys here appreciate the football discussion, and you can see we definitely respect Alabama and her tradition.

    Definitely will. Have some family that go to just about every game there as well. I'll definitely let you know if we get out there sometime soon.

    Trojans 2-2 vs BEAR..SC was HIS.. DADDY or at least his uncle ..when it was 1# vs #1 SC WAS HIS DADDY ..and in games played in Alabama..hahahha.. as I said
    Anyways, you seem to be a good sport about it. All those games were a long time ago, and it's been far too long since USC and BAMA have played. Now as any good Bama fan knows....

    Rice University UCLA NOTRE DAME TCU MICHIGAN LA MONROE LA TECH are Alabama's fathers. All have winning records..probably a few other schools in there as well. Happens.
    University of Hawaii ..well they are 1-1 vs the tide... so maybe they are the uncle or something..babysitter? IDK

    Anyways...congrats on the title and whippin dem corndogs...
    SC vs BAMA???

    It would be a nice game in Miami next season....I know that much!

    By the BetterOff..for some reason your sig pics don't work on this site. Maybe we have a Bama filter on this site or something... IDK?

    By the way that 1977 game..SC got jobbed by some terrible officals..saw that on ESPN Classic and wanted t go back in time and kill those zebra's..happens.
