I thought that in honor of the NFL Draft we could play a game called 'name that trogan.' Going through Yahoo!'s list of the NFL's biggest 1st round busts, I found the usual suspects: RJ Soward, Mike Williams, and of course Todd Marinovich. What surprised me was the complete whiff on Reggie Bush. Did they conveniently forget he had been dubbed 'the next Barry Sanders'? Your turn: name some Trogan draft busts I missed, or did not make their list at all.

Pretty good blow by blow of all that is wrong with USC under Lane Violation.

Good article about Ed O's lawsuit against the NCAA by the great writers at Grantland.

Looks like Fartley may not play in the Sun Bowl. I have to wonder if this is a question of a lingering injury, or Kiffin throwing Barkley out of the way so he can start getting Wittek ready for next year.

Story says Notre Dame is now a front runner, but he will be visiting Oregon and Washington.

I do not want to make light of the events that occurred last night at USC. But, given that HUGE deal that was made over Mora's comments about the safety for students over there; I thought it fair game to bring this up. After all, it's not slander if it's true.

But don't get your hopes up: if the NCAA's findings prove these latest allegations took place ahead of when sanctions were handed down in 2010, the Trojans would not be subjected to repeat violator sanctions

I stumbled upon this op/ed by KC Joyner. I don't expect a copy and paste job as it's behind a subscription firewall, just a paraphrasing of his sentiments for 'UCLA promise.' Just curious.

I found this in my inbox a minute ago. I'm one of the many alums rankled by the $75 ticket prices for this game. It seems that now that they have reached their saturation point they are going to lower their prices to fill all the unsold seats? This really just goes to show that UCLA sees us as a limitless ATM they can pump for cash whenever they want.

24. UCLA has no power to disdain, and no common sense when it comes to scheduling. The Bruins are opening on the road for the third consecutive season. They opened at Kansas State in 2010 (loss) and at Houston in 2011 (loss). They should be able to break that cycle this season at Rice in a Thursday night game on Aug. 30.

I was surprised to see we came in as high as we did. (11th) I also found the metric for valuing academic standards a bit wonky.

Miami Dolphins fans make their displeasure felt during their final game of the season. I would have liked to see one of these at the KFH Bowl.
