While it'd be totally great if a BIG team de-throned the SEC in the NC, it'd still be great if anyone did. I was kinda pulling for USC to be that team this year. But they lost ANOTHER defensive starter - a CB to academics. I guess he wasn't in camp, so they were already practicing without him, but still...depth takes a hit.
Nothing earth shattering, but the one big weakness everyone says USC has is defensive depth.
I'm going to jump on the bandwagon.
Seriously, you posted a BR link!?! Have you no shame? Here's one from google that doesn't support BR or ESPiN!

That was fun. I'll have to try it again sometime.
These are some scores from last year for USC:
22-43 @ASU, 48-41 AZ, 48-56 (4OT) Stanford, 38-35 @Oregon. They have a great offense, but man I'm not sold on their D being good enough to be a real title contender.
Umm...sorry? Think I'm about done here on 11W. I don't even know what Bleacher Report is, someone forwarded me the link, and I thought I'd share football news in the football forum. Is this like a sin against 11W (I'm actually asking)? Is posting a BR link harmful to 11W (I'm actually asking)? I got castrated for another forum post I did because the news was a day late or something.
Seriously, is this a Buckeye fan site, or a site with news about Buckeyes where people just bash each other?
Forgive me if I sound overly sensitive, because I love following the articles and updates on this site, I just can't stand the discussions and all the negativity anymore.
A friendly "Hey, FYI - Bleacher Report does ___ or takes money from ___ or is a big corporate ____" would have sufficed.
@AVAIL31678 - Please stick around! We're glad to have everybody here. Personally, I have taken a little grief for posting things as a newbie here, but I tend to read all comments as if a buddy was giving me grief over a beer at the bar. It helps. Hang around for the season - it's going to be a great ride!

Shake it off Avail and stick around.
@ Avail... as much as I love this site. you're right. This site has made me start to understand why there are people out there who dont like us as a fan base. and before anyone says anything. I am an alumnus.
if you dont have anything nice or contructive to say, dont say it. It was a simple post of "hey look what I found" and it gets that as it's first response?
I think it is just that Bleacher Report is considered even lower than ESPN considering the lack of research or quality writing that is done there. So people tend not to respect their reports as anything to listen to. If I happen to see something there, my first step is usually to verify it elsewhere.
