From the world’s best blog named after Raul Mondesi (via Deadspin) comes yet another example of the excellence of prodigal Trojan son/soon-to-be-Governor Lynn Swann: He takes the ball without question and we walk to the table. He then says, “Just throw it in the cup?” I agree with him and give him a little advice…

Coach Carroll held court on Tuesday, very concerned about preventing a let-down following a bye week, and joking about the fog in Corvalis from 2004: “The last time, we couldn’t see it. I really can’t tell you much. I don’t know anything about the area and you couldn’t see a thing. This should be different.…

Consider this the ultra-brief edition — we’re using that as our out, since the field is pretty uninspiring right at the moment. With a balanced Michigan team getting contributions from a number of different players, it looks like Troy Smith’s to lose at this point; but don’t discount the darkhorse Booty, who could make a…

We don’t often direct you over to a UCLA site, but this post on Bruins Nation and its mime applying lipstick photo caught our attention — we thought UCLA might have finally chosen a more fitting mascot to accompany their baby blues. Alas, the mime was but one of six theories as to why Karl…

Yet another example of what a total super-huge bust NFL rookie Reggie Bush has been for the NFC South-leading New Orleans Saints (currently 5-1, after a 3-13 record in 2005): Through the first six games of his NFL career, RB Reggie Bush’s 38 catches are one short of WR Anquan Boldin’s all-time record. The Saints…

Over at the USC FanHouse, our own Kyle Bunch offers some words of advice to the Trojan team, as they get ready for this weekend’s clash with Oregon State: The A side of the 2006 season is done, and while it might not have featured any breakout chart-topping hits, it was still a flawless tracks…

1.) Several of TrojanWire’s contributors may or may not have had something to do with a similar maintenance cart celebration incident following USC’s 2000 victory over UCLA, only replacing the football field with Hoover St. and several fraternity/sorority lawns.

From Scott Wolf: Since 1921, USC has lost to Oregon State only twice (in 1935 and 2000), in games which the Trojans actually scored any points. For the record, USC was shut out by the Beavers in 1946, 1957, 1960, and 1967 — which, coupled with the 2000 loss and 2004’s near miss in the…

We missed last week’s BlogPoll, so there’s no Delta this week; but with all the movement, it’d just make your head spin anyways: Rank Team 1 Southern Cal 2 Ohio State 3 Michigan 4 West Virginia 5 Texas 6 Louisville 7 Auburn 8 Notre Dame 9 California…

Update on The Disappearance of Mike Williams — Detroit Lions #1 WR Roy Williams doesnt mix words when commenting on the absence of the 6’5″ receiver from USC: I’m not saying what they’re doing is wrong. I’m saying, ‘Let’s go now. We’re 0-4. Let’s go.’ He’s 6-5, man. That’s the big deal for me. He’s…
