Southern California was No.#25 before a 10-7 loss at home to Washington State.

Uh oh... "The Pirate" beat USC in only his SECOND YEAR?

I bet WAZZU is glad this morning they didnt listen to the "You just don't hire anyone who has current litigation against their previous employer"...crowd.

The bright spot overall was the defensive effort. Even giving up the big play to start the game, they regroiuped and only gave up 20 points. That should be a good enough effort to win on the road.

The second bright spot is that our players played through another TERRIBLE offensive game plan to have a shot, however slight, to win the game in the last possession, only to have a screen play called from their own 16 yard line.

Ohio is picked to win the MAC. They put up 42 against a good ULM team last year. They are a good mid-major. Too bad we didn't take advantage of a golden opportunity to win the game.

I'm not quite sure how either helps NT respond to this loss

Thank you.

Finding positives in how our guys handle themselves in the face of trial seems more valuable than tearing down the efforts of other young men because they wear different colors.

Montana State would beat us right now.

Ain't speculation great when there is no way to prove anything? Love it! Well played, Sir!

They need a new head coach in present

They fire anybody and everybody except the guy who needs to go. He had one miracle season, and probably in spite if himself. I don't think the school wants to shell out all that buyout money.

But I digress. Go Mean Green 'Merica!

The ONLY reason the school in Austin beat USC is because Pete Carroll was arrogant and went for it late in the 4th instead of punting. They didn't make it and left the QB just enough time and a short enough field to get lucky.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      Some of you think these professional athletes have to go to classes?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?
