THE PAC 12 THREAD v.3

[trojanfan12]

I fucking hate Walmart and won't go unless my wife more or less tricks me into going with her. She's like a damned addict to that place. Bitches about prices if we go anywhere else. Hate their cash register cluster fuck and those bag holders that only serve to make sure my wife looses a bag of shit every now and then. Hate the layout that has the only decent crap in the place at the back of the store, a half mile away. The stockers are mostly miserable sons of bitches and many of the people who shop there shouldn't be allowed out in public.

That's my favorite thing about Wal-Mart. I get at least one good laugh every time I go.

USC sophomore OLB Jabari Ruffin, who was competing for a starting position, tore a knee ligament in practice Sunday and will miss the 2014 season. Ruffin was injured after being tackled during an interception return, but it was not until undergoing tests later in the day that the extent of the damage was revealed.

"This is very unfortunate news about Jabari, but I know he will rehab well and come back strong next year," said head coach Steve Sarkisian. "And, I know our team will step up in his absence."

Ruffin made 22 tackles as a reserve last season, including his first career sack. Without him, the Trojans will lean on J.R. Tavai, Scott Felix (formerly Starr), Quinton Powell and some strong freshmen to fill the outside linebacker positions.

Saw that this morning. Sucks for the kid. At least it was a position where we're not too thin. If he was a DB or OL, that would have really hurt.

Nice "State of PAC12 2014 football" article by Ted Miller at ESPN that talks about subjects like scheduling vs. other confs, winning the perception battles, etc....

What we can take from it is all is PAC football has never been more healthy, our tougher schedules do benefit us, and should especially come playoff/bowl selections.

Locals will just refer to him as Andre. Nationally they will read it as slowly as possible and anunciate every last letter.

It's def been a change in culture with us fans and the two coaches. Steve loved blabbing to the press and tweeting out woofs when verbals happened. Petersen is the total opposite. Is comfortable with the press, but seems to keep as much 411 guarded as possible. The fans are dying for details, but considering what a transition is involved, its understandable.

I'm glad they're doing these vids. Will help a lot as were pacing like expecting fathers at the hospital.

Houshmandzadeh one of my favorite Beaver receivers sees your 13 letter name and raises you one more.

It's inevitable that Washington will be a PAC power again.

For the sake of the rivalry I hope both teams are upper echelon when it happens.

Only one year where both were powers. 2000. Can you imagine a handful of seasons like that in a row.

Awesome.

Not arguing about it but coming out to the nation is what made headlines and he did that after his career was over.
