The d-line will be fine, believe me. No more sed ellis, but not much of a dropoff. Our db's arent to awful either!

Iowa '05.
They had Greenway and Hodge at Linebacker, the best pair outside of Columbus. We rushed for over 300 yards on them.
non-sequitor: They rushed for -9 in that game. |

He was referring to things that some Texas posters said...
Kind of like my words above are really just a reference to past BP conversations more than serious psychosis.
To me, it is not at all surprising that we have so few Trojan fans here as compared to Texas fans. I've lived in Southern California, and people there are not into football in general... nothing like Ohio or Texas.
Neither is it surprising that it has taken us until July 20th to hit 1000 posts in this thread. The '05 Texas thread hit 1000 posts on May 10th of that year. The '06 Texas thread hit 1000 posts on May 5th of that year.
To me, those numbers give you a pretty accurate picture of the relative (true) fan support for Texas and USC. This is not at all a slight at the good Trojan posters here. You cannot help the fact that there aren't more people like you in SoCal.

Have you been to socal? To be quit honest, until I moved to south carolina, I wasnt on the computer much! Alot to do in cali that keeps you busy, to busy to be typing on a machine. The weather is awesome! Here, its hot and humid, so I try not to go outside to much until early evening, then the state bird starts attacking me! [Thats mosquitoes} My bad! I see you lived in socal, so you know that native southern californians are a minority out there right? Go to a angel game, and there are just as many fans of the team they are playing as there are angel fans! Can you say melting pot? Point is there are more out of state fans living there than there are fans of local teams. Just like in my family, both of my parents moved out west from ohio, and me and my sister are natives, but all of my cousins are from ohio. I have family in chesapeake and proctorville ohio. Thats by huntington wv for those who dont know.

As for the Trojan DL, I will believe that Fili Moala can handle Sedrick Ellis' double teams when I see it. Until then, I consider him over-rated.
In other words, last year SE got all the double teams. This year, Fili has to handle them. He might. But then, he very well might not.

Yes, I lived in SoCal. That there is so much else to do is not an excuse for not following football.
NY supports their pro teams like crazy and has for a long time. There's as much to do in NY as there is in LA. |

Sounds kinda like our Gholston loss. I still expect this game to be similar to Texas in 2006. Your team cries potential, but that will fade after a couple quarters. It will start off close, say 7-7 after 1, but it will be all Buckeyes for most of it. I really don't think you know how well OSU's defense is suited for your offensive style. First year QB? Ha. I like the idea of playing someone that couldn't beat Stanford.
