USC Trojans (official thread)




Uniforms, traditions, rivalries, how you play the game and compose yourself during a win or loss - these things help to bind us to those who have walked the same path before us, and will walk that same path after we are gone.

But now these kids are self-serving businesses, brands, spokesman, and wannabe social media moguls, seemingly long before they are just simple football players. The passion and substance, just playing the game for fun, for love of what you do, your teammates, your friends and your pride... Is slowly evaporating.


And this, for me, is why my soul has this fading connection with college football. We're becoming TOO bottom line focused. Far too money driven as an exclusivity. I'm all for people not being exploited, but the fact that these avenues are likely being discussed among Caleb and his team (not his football team, his imagine consultants, wealth management, PR folks) is a new era mentality I'll never be able to find myself condoning.

Yeah, Johnny was an arrogant douche but had some moxy on the field.

I honestly can't recall ever seeing that from Caleb.

He looks amazing against mediocre and bad teams, but has often folded a lot against quality teams. Hell, he's 0-3 against a solid Utah squad. Not to take anything away from Utah, but that's crazy to think he's almost got a golden sombrero against them as a starter with the talent disparity (one of those losses against a walk on pig farmer's son at home).


To whichever NFL team drafts this dude...
