Agreed, the guy is loved here in SoCal, people talk about him like he's some mythical figure. Our closest pro team is San Diego, about 120 miles from LA and trust me, just because both are in Southern California doesn't mean they like each other. California is funny like that, if you tell people in S.D. they live in the LA area you will get quickly corrected.
If he wanted to take a job in the NFL, last year would have been ideal, he had a great opportunity but made it very clear he was happy being the head coach of the Trojans, so I don't see him making the jump to the Falcons.

And here it's different. I think if they could get away with it, people in Cleveland would say Cincinatti was a suburb of Cleveland. When places over an hour away are considered part of Cleveland you know you have issues. |

Still time for things to change, but:
Times-Standard Online - Staying in school: Trip to Eureka brings clarity for Maualuga
Quote:
”I'm just gonna stay. I'm not in a rush. I'm gonna take it slow,” said Maualuga, who played for Eureka High, class of 2005. “I just wanted to explore the thought of leaving.”
And he arrived back at the same thought he had before getting on the plane. The NFL will still be there next year, but the chance to claim a national championship won't.
”I've still got a lot of growing up to do on the football field,” Maualuga said. “I thought about it hard and prayed on it. The answer was right in front of my face on whether I wanted to take that step. Hopefully we can make a run at the national championship.”

I'm excited for this game. I've played it many times over, reliving the glory with my WR in NCAA 08.
It should be a good game as long as we don't beat ourselves like we did in NOLA. Without the stupid penalties, that game quite possibly could have been a different outcome.
