This one from USA TODAY, where David Leon Moore likens the starting QB position at USC to appearing on the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.
Lots of attention.
Lots of exposure.
And a guarantee of looking good.
Sanchez's scrambling ability will be something new to the Palmer, Leinart, Booty dynasty, but he appears cognizant of letting his teammates make plays rather than him.
"There's a lot of big-play potential in our receivers and backs," he says. "If these guys break one tackle, with the speed and talent they have, they could go all the way. So the faster I can get rid of the ball and get it in their hands, the better off we'll be."

USC topped the Pac-10 media day poll yet again, grabbing a near unanimous 38 out of 39 votes for top dog. The only wayward #1 vote went to...Cal? That must have been a mistake meant for Southern Cal.

Either way USC is the media favorite to win its share of the conference title for an unprecedented seventh year in a row.
The Pac-10 Media poll goes as follows:
1. USC (38)
2. Arizona State
3. Oregon
4. California (1)

7. Arizona
8. Washington
9. Stanford
10. Washington State

Is Carroll's record divine power or devil worship? Image parodied from blogspot
Mad success breeds animosity. There's the haves and the have-nots, and the have-nots seem to find every excuse to hate the guys on top. Want an example? Well lucky for us, college football can be readily compared to any topic on earth. Take nation-states for instance: the United States of America (USC), the pinnacle of world success for the last 300 years, is hated on for its mad-skills by pretty much every nation on earth (NCAA division I)...especially France (UCLA). Compris?

When the message was "Fire Karl Dorrell," no opportunity was missed, no sentence was written that might weaken the campaign. Not even after a 26-point win. Not even if it was...
