Michael and Maria Hudson are the proud, soon-to-be parents, of USC’s first commit of the 2029 class. On Sunday afternoon their unborn baby boy committed to Southern Cal and coach Lane Kiffin.

“We’re just super excited”, said Maria a 29-year-old former Song Girl and Los Angeles native, who lives with her husband Michael in Santa Monica. The couple was on campus for a weekend getaway when they bumped into Coach Kiffin.

“Well, we both were stressed out with work and the baby you know? So we said, hey, let’s head down to campus for the weekend, see some friends and relax”, Michael said. “While we were walking around campus I spotted Coach Lane ahead of us, and yelled ‘Fight On’ to get his attention.”

“He heard Mike, stopped and turned around”, said Maria. “We introduced ourselves, he shook Mike’s hand and gave me a hug. He was just so nice.”

Can you find all the ‘fuck’s hidden on the rock? The penis is a great touch too.

My take, it’s a business. Lane Kiffin took an excellent job for an elite one. If he had failed and Tennessee had fired him none of the masses would be crying foul. As for the hire itself, it’s the best USC could do at the time. The Trojans get a big energetic personality at the helm and Monte, Orgeron and NORM, to, you know, handle the actual coaching. Kiffin’s record isn’t particularly impressive, but he won games (yes plural) in Oakland under they eye of Darth Davis and exceeded expectations at Tennessee.

On the other hand, and to put it mildly, Tennessee is screwed. I don’t think they’ll be able to hire a new coach and assemble a staff on such short notice that’ll be able to keep together their recruiting class. The most logical thing Tennessee could do is take their lumps, forget about trying to keep Kiffin’s recruits, and hire someone that’s committed to Tennessee for the long haul.

Oh and there were riots. Check out Rocky Top Talk for more.

The Las Vegas Blow, err Bowl, looked pretty miserable. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrgh!

Delany’s Dozen. Big Ten Expansion has been the hot topic during this brief college football sabbatical. We tossed out our (reasonable) suggestions awhile ago. But we hope the Big Ten goes hard at Texas and Nebraska; let chaos reign. Dan Shanoff has an interesting take and thinks Navy as a football only member makes perfect sense. His thesis is built upon the idea that a championship game isn’t a factor for Big Ten expansion. Whether it is or isn’t, we think it is, there will be a Big Ten Championship Game if the conference expands. No money will be left on the table.

U Inspired Dynasties. Conquest Chronicles serves up some spicy food for thought. Was the Trojan’s “modern-day” dynasty on par with Miami’s? If everything else is a push we’ll take Miami solely for the Vice City nightlife. Although, one thing we’ll point out is Miami had 3 consensus and 1 split Media National Championships, while USC had only 1 and 1. Continue Reading “Around the Interwebs” »

Holy Moly [is that my boy] Masoli?

… and drinking game. The drink of choice being a lukewarm blend of duck and beaver liver fats.

Before playing pick a side North (Oregon State) or South (Oregon).

1. Whenever your side gives up points it’s 1 drink for 3 or less and 2 drinks for 4 or more.
2. 1 drink if the LeGarrette Blount punch is mentioned, 3 drinks if they show the video. Then promptly fist pump.
3. If your side is the North it’s 1 drink for every dumbass Jesse Palmer comment, if you’re the South do the same for Craig James. (honor system in play here for what constitutes a ‘dumbass comment’)
4. Any time an announcer mentions the last time Oregon State was in the Rose Bowl was 1965, take a drink.
5. Any time an announcer laments the fact that somebody who isn’t USC is going to win the Pac 10, finish your drink.
6. If Erin Andrews says something along the lines of, “it’s getting loud in here”, that’s 3 drinks.
7. Any time the game is compared to the actual Civil War, finish your drink.
8. Any time Phil Knight is mentioned, 2 drinks. If they show him, that’s 5 drinks.
9. If an announcer segues from Chip Kelly to talking about Brian Kelly to ND by saying “speaking of Kelly”, finish your drink.
10. If there’s a reference to Appomattox Court House, finish your drink.
11. Anytime, anything, about Oregon’s uniforms are mentioned that’s 2 drinks.
12. Anytime you see some sexual innuendo ie ’save trees, eat beavers’, that’s 2 drinks.

If you have more rules then leave them in the comments.

GameDay was live from Tucson for the thriller that was Oregon at Arizona. My hat is off to the Wildcats for a very rowdy and energetic atmosphere, some well done signs and gorgeous women. Next time, just stay in the stands until the game is over.

Duck Hunt FTW and a dash of Hokie.

Winner, best sign of Gameday.
