there the similarity ends :D

that and the fact that they play two completely different sports and one of them is French. ;)


what sport does the big fella play?
 
Maualuga was a UCLA de-commit. The twat. Very good get for you mokes. Another LB star in the USC pantheon is what you've got.

Sanchez - I've seen Mission Viejo HS play. Ex-roommate of mine played there and has kept me informed about him. Nice player, but won't have the impact Ben Olson will have for us (2001 National HS Player of the year, Thousand Oaks HS - transfer from BYU after serving his Mormon mission) 6'5/230/Southpaw - think Steve Young with a shotgun for an arm and the saize of a free safety. Actually saw the kid on campus a few times this year - monster. He needs time to get acclimated - but he will be the biz. BTW, MVHS RB Chane Moline was a really big part of that team being successful. He's a solid lean toward us.

Turner, Spicer, and Cushing - all top notch gets and we never had a chance (Spicer, maybe).

Luther Brown wanted to go with us - but he didn't qualify academically (surprise!) - nice pick-up.

We have Brian Bosworth's twin nephews coming in as LBs this season. Weird.

You'll be the class of the league, no doubt. But we have the makings of a great recruiting class for next year and our QB(s) are finally getting acclimated to the WC offense. Our RBs, Markey and Drew are up there with any 2 in the nation. If Drew Olsen can get healthy from his knee injury against Wyoming - we'll have a shot at the league, just have to beat you. If it's our back-up QBs...we'll have a better year than last year and be poised for the Ben Olson era with almost everyone returning.

Crow while you can, FLASHie. Petey Carroll can't stay away from the NFL forever.

No he wasn't...he was interested in Oregon...you are thinking of the LB from Hawaii, Kaluka Maiava.

Sanchez rules, but I've been hearing tons of positive things about Olson...unfortunately he doesn't have the supporting cast at skill positions around him. Moline is awesome...reminds me a bit of Alstott, but you might lose him...maybe not to us...either way he'll wind up a fullback. Viejo rules ever since Bob Johnson got there. But LB Poly produces lots more top notch recruits both for USC and UCLA

Turner, Spicer, and Cushing - all top notch gets and we never had a chance (Spicer, maybe).

Still can't believe we got Turner out of Tennessee and Keith Rivers out of Florida last year as well as Jarrett from New Jersey.

Luther Brown wanted to go with us - but he didn't qualify academically (surprise!) - nice pick-up.

his teamate from Lakewood wanted to go to SC> but didn't he wind up at Ucla? Adrian something...I'll find out...he's a real sleeper IMO.

do you ever check out the recruiting websites?

rivals.com and scout.com each of UCLA pages (and everyone else as well) the sites are awesome.

what language is all that in :confused:

shame.

looks like the ideal centre half

that's why we will never be a nation that can be up at the top of footy...our best athletes gravitate towards American football and Basketball...they are the sports most easily accessible to those athletes growing up in the inner cities...they are simple and can be played readily the way footy is played in many poorer nations for example like Brazil etc...
 
Pooooooooops said:

much like City and United, TDO and I support arch rival college teams that are in the same city... Los Angeles.

I am A USC fan and he is a UCLA fan...

huge rivalry.

In fact I may have to post a cool video clip of our dominance versus them over the past 4 seasons :angel:
 
Pooooooooops said:

Gridiron, I think you call it.

We're talkin' 'bout American College Football - the one sport here that can rival the passion you all have for Football over there. We're quite territorial and tribal when it comes to our Uni of choice. FLASH has glommed on to the USC Trojans because they're the best around currently, while I am a true blue UCLA Bruin, currently attending the school after almost taking a decade off to do nothing substantive :D We are cross-town rivals in Los Angeles and we hate each other with a passion. Not FLASH and I, though - we're chums ;)

USC is a private school with zero academic standards - it's for the privileged and pretentious. UCLA, OTOH, is a public Uni and has a glorious academic standing and an incredible amount of important and world-famous people have walked our hallowed halls. USC is located in one of the poorest sections of LA...and it has giant wrought-iron fences erected around its perimeter to keep out the element and keep "Bryce" and "Kaitlyn" safe. UCLA sits in Westwood, a beautiful part of LA, located on the Westside. Rolling hills and green grass, with beautiful architecture and amazing research and academic facilities. USC has got a film school that gest you someplace if you're willing to suck Bryan Singer, Spielberg, or Lucas' cock. Our film school can only boast about Francis Ford Coppola, director of two of the greatest films ever made, Godfather I & II. We also have acclaimed screen-writer Paul Schrader and directors like Penelope Spheeris, Allison Anders, and Gregory Nava as famous alumni.

USC has a storied Football past while UCLA is the #1 school in Basketball. You'll notice FLASH will have nothing to say about that shower of a team when it gets closer to Hoops season.

That's just the short version - we can get into it more, I'm sure.

BTW, here's a joke: How do you get a USC grad to leave your doorstep?


Pay for the pizza.

Adrian Covington, I believe. Yep - he's going to....U of A or ASU. Somewhere in Az. You're right about Maiava, btw. He's the one. Both are excellent, either way. Yeah - I get on both Rivlas and Scout - great sites. Scout is really stepping it up. They hired the BruinOnLine and WeAreSC .com's head writers for their site. Also have a So-Cal video chief now.

It's all down to Petey. He goes, the well runs dry. Always helps to have Nike in your hip pocket, though. I'm actually glad we have adidas. Nice solid contrast to your cookie cutter gear.

Ahem...I was accepted to USC back as a youngster and had my bags packed had circumstances not prevented me from attending...and i was a Charles White fan before you were born my poor deluded powder blue clad friend ;)

I like scout's message boards, but I think rivals is the better talent evaluator..hard to say, they are both very good...

the Rivals 100 just came out a week ago for 05 high school season/06 recruiting class...we're in with a serious shout wiith lots of these kids...already got two early commits and are about to get this kid Michael Goodson, RB #1 player in Texas...should commit this week or so according the head of Scout/Wearesc.com
 
well fellas, enjoy your rivalry although i dont think i will ever get it, that gridiron stuff is too complicated,basketball is boring, baseball is ok to watch but i dont understand that either.


i will support who ever plays in blue ;)

Twat :D

You guys are NFL good, at times. You were better 2 years ago. We've been cack admittedly...but it won't be long now until we're competing with you.

It's a shame you hate Basketball, as the legacy of Paul Westphal, George Ravelling, Tex Winter and others is actually quite noteworthy. You're cack now, obviously...but Floyd should be able to do some things there - and your on campus arena will help no end, whenever they finally finish it.

sticking to the losers eh poops? ;)

USC was in Red...the team whipping ass. ;)

I have another vid I will post shortly in tribute to the highlights of the past season showing us winning our second championship in a row. :angel:

The soundtrack of the video is USC's three fight songs all of which are better than anything UCLA has since their band sucks as well.

the first part of the video are the general highlights of the season, the second part is a hgihlight bit of the amazing player for USC, Reggie Bush (no relation to George W since Reggie is black, ;) and the third part are the highlights of us completely decimating the #2 ranked team in the nation to win the championship game (the ORange Bowl)

enjoy,

When Leinart leaves, next comes J.D. Booty.

You couldn't be more right - College Football pisses all over the NFL.


is the college football like say the second division?

Pooooooooops said:

no not really, they are still technically amateurs and are not paid since they are at university...it is atrmendous sport and it is the level below Pro Football, the NFL. Players go from college football to the pro,s but as TDO and I both said, the passion of college football is unrivalled and to us, the better more interesting game.

there are dozens of huge college football stadiums,...at least 5 hold 100,000 + people, 15 more hold 85,000+ and there are dozens in the 50,000 - 80,000 range...it is a positively massive game.


hold on and I will post a link to a thread onRed Caf that we posted all the pics of tons of college football stadiums in...it's very cool to see.
 
Pooooooooops said:

Yeah, something akin to that. Like 2nd Div. and other, smaller Euro leagues combined. The NFL gets all of its talent from the colleges. There is just much more spirit to the game at the college level and you know the kids are out there busting their heads together for your school (and their NFL futures, admittedly).

We don't sing Blue Moon, but when I'm off my ass @ the Oklahoma game...you better believe I'm going to start it. <Ahem...>

BlueBruuuuuuuuuuins
You saw us beat you at hoooooome
Without a chance on the road
Consider your asses ooooooowned

:cool:
 
thanks fellas, ive learnt something today. american sports are alien to me really, but i do like a contest and you cant beat a good rivalry.
 
If i were going to show any Brit/foreigner an American sport it would be college football...in terms of ambvience, passion, loudness amd excitement it can't be matched by any of our other sports.

you have tens of thousands of drunk crazed students, thousands of alumni and in-state fans, huge marching bands numbering in the thousands, and rivalries stretching back more than 80 years in some cases...

it's my favorite american sport by a mile.

not to mention it is constantly being reborn since college players can only play for 4 seasons...many of the best leave for the pros after only 3, so the great part is every year, every team has a chance if they can get the best recruited kids from high schools, since a kid can go to school anywhere if his school grades are good enough.

so many famous university teams have tremendous prestige that can draw the best kids, some have great coaches who kids really want to play for, others look for the school that they think they will have the best chance of playing as soon as possible at. many are big state schools so there is tremendous loyalty among players who grew up in that state aspiring to play for their home state school (much the way footy used to be with people in the english towns growing up wanting to play for their local side etc.)

Also, teams with great tradition and such can fall on hard times if they don't recruit the best players but can then come back if they recruit well...it is a tremendous sport.

High school recruiting is becoming massive in terms of media attention and it is very much like the excitement when a Wayne Rooney is growing up at the academy or Owen coming up through the ranks.

great stuff.

Yup - that's well said.

The ups and downs of a Uni and its athletic programs are the bread and butter of the college game. There's always next year...and you're always a couple of good recruits away from changing your luck. Atmosphere can't be topped by any pro sport.

Damn - I'm totally excited now about the fall. We're going to smash San Diego State and Rice U. Then...Oklahoma comes into town. Can't wait!

even I hope you kick the crap out of Oklahoma...it'll shut up all those morons who think the Big 12 is fecking great and the PAC 10 is shit...

they were shooting their mout off so loud before the Orange Bowl last year it was great to put em in their place...

Oklahom is a bit fecked this year...they lost so much talent. They had great recruiting years so they' ll be ok in the future, but it will be interesting to see how Adrian Peterson does now that he lost virtually that entire line of Clydesdales he had blocking for him.

for SC, our offense is going to have to carry our defense just till the D-Line gels...every place else is solid on the D. The opposite of last year when our D had to carry the offense which had essentially a whole new young line and two new receivers who were fresh and soph respectively.

Anyone that is going to beat us is going to have to put up at least 35 points to beat us because of our offensive firepower, and that being an off day, I think, and that's no easy task.

I can't wait for the fall.

what's your preseason top 5 or so for the fall?


mine

1. USC
2. LSU
3. Ohio State
4. Florida
5. Tennesse/Texas tie

Big time teams don't really fare well when they come out west. We've done Miami, Nebraska, Michigan in the past. Oklahoma is going to be a hell of a team, I think. They're in the reload, not recruit, category. As are you chumps. AdePete is lights out one of the best college RBs in the country. Bush is right up there with him. I think defenses always carry teams in CFB, so...at a push, I would guess:

1. SC
2. LSU
3. Oklahoma
4. Miami
5. Georgia/Michigan/Texas

Offensively heavy teams always have the spector of getting into shoot-outs on the road...and in conference...there's always a chance to get caught.

I don't know your lots schedule...but those three games I named are our out of conference schedule, with only SDSU on the road (that's a home game, basically). We have to go to the Pallous, which is always tough (Wazzu) and we go to the Mausoleum for you twunts. We have UofA in Tucson & Stanford in Palo Alto, but I don't think either are going to be that good. Everyone else is at the Rose Bowl. We have a chance of having a very good season. We also start our home and home with Notre Dame the following year - good times!

That being said, as long as you don't get upset early...it's down to you and LSU/Georgia probably. We'll be OK...have a shot at the conference as long as we can win @ Wazzu. Down to playing you at home - which, realistically, isn't much of a chance for us. Either way...it'll be a very good year for CFB - parity throughout the country. South Carolina has the chance of pulling a NorthWestern and running the table with Spurrier. Traditional powers will be strong again - like we said...can't wait.
 
I don't see Georgia, Oklahoma, or Miami that high...all of them have lost their starting QBs and offensive lines...Miami is okay at the skill positions, but Oklahoma lost everybody. Georgia has some good running backs.

here's our schedule

Sat 09/03/2005 Hawai'i Honolulu, Hi.
Sat 09/17/2005 Arkansas L.A. Coliseum
Sat 09/24/2005 Oregon Eugene, Ore.
Sat 10/01/2005 Arizona State Tempe, Ariz.
Sat 10/08/2005 Arizona L.A. Coliseum
Sat 10/15/2005 Notre Dame South Bend, Ind.
Sat 10/22/2005 Washington Seattle, Wash.
Sat 10/29/2005 Washington State L.A. Coliseum
Sat 11/05/2005 Stanford L.A. Coliseum
Sat 11/12/2005 California Berkeley, Calif.
Sat 11/19/2005 Fresno State L.A. Coliseum
Sat 12/03/2005 UCLA L.A. Coliseum

we should beat Hawaii no problem, Arkansas shouldn't be much trouble, Oregon could be very tricky, ASU will be tough on the road, Arizona could be a surprise with a Stoops led defense, ND will be very tough, no matter how bad they are, South Bend is a tough gig, the fight hard up till halftime but we shoould beat them no problem...they lost loads of people on D. Should crush Washington, Wazzu we should crush, Stanford we should beat easily, Cal should be a huge revenge match up at berkely...they had huge losses at the skill positions...Marshawn Lynch rocks, but they lsot everyone else...Fresno will be no problem, and then you guys which will be rivalry tough.

I think we'll make it to the Rose, only question is who we might play...

Texas plays Ohio State early, so whichever loses is likely out, not to mention even against a weakend Oklahoma, Texas always folds...plus I don't think Ohio State will lose at Columbus this year...Oklahoma will lose to somebody probaly you guys and maybe A&M.

Florida or Tenessee or LSU...they will all knock on each other...I don't which one of them gets out of that unscathed...I'd say LSU.

so I think it's either Ohio State or LSU vs. us...that said I wouldn't bet against Michigan at home vs. Ohio State with the chance of ending Ohio State's National Championship hopes.

so probably LSU.....they and us are the two fastest college teams around and probably of all time...their only problem is a new coach and defensive losses, but they have had huge recruiting classes as well.


Rose - USC vs. LSU is my best guess.
 
That's a hell of a conference road schedule. Not even taking the piss, but I would be worried if I were you.

In the space of a month you have to go to Eugene, Tempe, South Bend and Seattle. Arkansas, U of A, and Wazzu make up the bread and cheese in that meaty road sandwich. I would suspect Oregon and Seattle will be tougher than you think. They always are, although we've had better luck up there recently.

If you make it through that, you will have earned this one, no doubt. LSU seems a class above, as well...so I wouldn't be shocked if that's how it ended. I thought both teams were the 2 best teams in the country going on 3 years now, hard as that is to admit (talent-wise, obviously). That Auburn squad was very good, as well, last year.

I get the sneaking suspicion you might be off-base about Oklahoma - we'll see. I think they'll be very good and batter Texas, per usual. OSU and Michigan will be another great match-up in the Big 10, with Purdue and Wisconsin just behind. The SEC champs and you all for the Rose Bowl sounds about right.

Florida or Tenessee or LSU...they will all knock on each other...I don't which one of them gets out of that unscathed...I'd say LSU.

Definitely LSU. We're just not strong enough yet, having only just shaken off that studdering moron of a coach, and Tennessee are all a bunch of inbred toothless sistershaggers.

So LSU is the most likely to give it a real go out of the SEC.

Zook was a moron, but a good recruiter...bet that Taurean Charles from that "yeaor of the bull" documentary still gets no Playing time.

On the other hand, you guys got Brandon Siler who was desperate to come to USC, but we signed a JUCO LB Ryan Powdrell who's only going to play one year at most for us if at all :wenger:

Siler is great, I was hoping to get him.


I don't think you guys will get by LSU either but you might beat Tennessee...but the schedule is difficult for evveryone in the SEC...LSU gets Flordia, Auburn and Tennessee all at home and don't have to play Georgia this year.
