Ok, now passed the bullshit...199-blah was years ago.
I may be wrong about Mora's shadiness, but think I am right...regardless USC's market has comp it hasn't had in a while. UCLA would be my Pac Poop pick in '14...over USC, Oregon, Stanford, etc...
Folks do understand how bad UW was...those folks are ND fans, Ty can hit the shit out of a golf ball though. Yes, UW was Ty Willingham bad.
Wasn't even as much about Willingham as it was about their AD at the time. Apparently, she was pretty bad and all but destroyed the UW program.
As for Mora, I don't know anything about him being shady because I haven't heard anything, so I honestly don't know if he is or not. Not sure that I'd take them over Oregon, they have a lot coming back and UCLA really hasn't shown an ability to stay with them for more than a half.
Stanford is losing ALOT. I see USC as a bit of wild-card. If we play to the level of our talent, USC could win the PAC. However, depth will be an issue because of the sanctions. When the inevitable injuries hit, the replacements will have to show they can step up.
ASU will likely be a threat too. They may have finally shaken those late season crashes that were almost a tradition for them.
