I am :)
I posted this back in January before everything started falling apart for USC Football and Sports.
Of course I've come to terms with the fact that this season, it's Lane Kiffen and not Pete Carroll, who will be leading the Trojan Football team and family into their opener in Hawaii on September 2nd.
Amidst the recent NCAA ruling and allegations against Reggie Bush and the USC Football team of 2004 and 2005, I've come across many SEC and Big 10 fans overjoyed about the sanctions befallen upon SC, and all I have to say is: believe.
I will always believe in USC, and never for a moment, have I doubted Pete Carroll's role in all this. Was I upset to hear about him leaving and seeing him eventually sign with the Seahawks? Yes, very much so. But did I think he had anything to do with or even knowledge of the misconduct that the NCAA has accused USC of? No.
Pete Carroll showed us how to Win Forever, and even if Reggie Bush had illegal contact with agents, this contact did not enhance his performance on the field. I know many SC fans may be upset at me for saying this, but Reggie and the USC Football teams of 2004 and 2005 still won these games fair and square.
No one took performance enhancing drugs, no one paid off referees to help give us an edge during game time.
Everything that MAY have even happened with agents happened OFF the field and none of that impacted our "football dynasty" and complete domination in college football and our National Championship and Rose Bowl wins.
Well, it looks that a new era has dawned upon USC, with the new President, CL Max Nikias, and new athletic director, Pat Haden, cleaning house.
I'm just super excited about the upcoming season and I know all the true SC fans will still be cheering from their homes, bars, or the stands at the game!!
Hope to see some of you at some of the SC games this year!
Fight On!!
xoxo,
C
There was never a battle ;)
We'll always miss you Pete! You're welcome back to USC anytime! :)
