The Lions' Pride

Damn, USC fans really get their panties in a bunch if Kiffin gets criticized. I love the "If anyone from PSU says anything negative, we call them a rape enabler" mentality. Solid deflection tactic.

Yeah. They just deleted the thread. USC fans are way worse than I thought they were. They act as if Kiffin had no choice but to screw the kid.

Solid people.

Oh goodness. Thanks for the support, Clark.

There were a couple of good USC fans that I encountered in that thread. Of course, one compared me to Hitler and apparently it's spiraled from there.

So the one guy told me that for every Kiffin apologist, there were 9 USC fans who want him gone. Maybe the ratio is a little exaggerated, but it sounds like most of them do not care to defend him anymore.

Oh and the fact that they think I care about upvotes and downvotes is laughable. I guess that's what they have to resort to when logical debate is no longer an option due to addled brains.

you should shave that little mustache...

I was reading a thread on their site about the kid that decommitted and was actually very surprised they were for the most part ALL sticking up for Kiffin. Their main justification was this: "Leon McQuay III is at a much needed position, so we have to take him now. Sorry, thats just the way it works out. Thank the NCAA." Yeah the NCAA is shady, but Kiffin shouldve told McQuay I will see you in June then since he was already full and pretty much had a kid on campus ready to start classes.

Yeah, highly doubt we will be preseason #1 in the AP during anytime of our sanctions and for a few years post scholly reduction. Expectations are different, and the talent on the USC roster is still some of the tops in the country. I understand the depth issue, but that should not result in some of the losses they had. From 1st team down to the dirty show, they seemed to be horribly coached.

I lived in SoCal. USC fans are fair weather. When USC is doing well they show up, when they're not they are ignored.

In my experience, the USC alumni are not nearly as passionate as the Penn State alumni. In LA alone we have at least 4 official alumni bars that get a good size crowd at 9 AM PST on Saturdays in the fall. I have never come across a USC alumni bar on the east coast anywhere, including Philly, DC and NYC.

There is always so much other stuff happening in LA that USC needs a coach like Kiffin just to get people's attention over all the other noise. It's all bravado and bluster. In PC's case he was winning so people cared, in Kiffen's case he's a terrible coach so he has to act like a jackass to remain media relevant.

And IMHO, UCLA's campus in Westwood is WAY nicer than USC's campus in downtown LA. (But Pepperdine's is nicer than both, and UCSB is even nicer than that!)

LA fans care WAY more about the Lakers, and I'd argue even the Kings as well. USC is at least 3rd on the list, and if they aren't winning they fall even further down.

You should have told him, the kid that got his scholly cut was a position of need at one point too!! They needed him a year ago when they offered him the scholarship and now that someone can't graduate on time they take it away from someone who has been a solid verbal for a year for a fresh recruit! Who cares what their argument is, Kiff is crooked on his own will and he learned to elaborate that some in his year in the SEC! He screws almost everyone he comes in contact with it seems!

that my friend is a very good point.

Yep. Makes me smile when it happens.

As I posted in another thread:

What would happen if we had the 65 scholarship limit restriction in place this year and Mike Zordich came to O'Brien and said "Coach, it turns out that I'm not graduating and I need one more semester to get my degree, so I'm going to need that scholarship after all" After all he's done, does O'Brien say "Sorry, can't help" or does he ask one of the early enrollees to wait until summer to enroll?

We could very easily be in that situation in a couple of years so I wouldn't be so quick to throw USC under the bus.
