What seemed to be a historic run for the USC Trojans, quickly evaporated when the once highly speculated allegations became reality for last decades dominance. First thing first, there are two individuals to blame for the cheating and wrong doing on Southern Cal's campus; Reggie Bush and Pete Carroll. I actually applaud Lane Kiffin for biting many bullets on the sanctions, even though many feel it is karma (as Nick Saban repeatedly over uses without actually explaining a predicament - it is, what it is.) Carroll left town as he knew things were going south (as much as he keeps denying it.)
Here is Carroll during a recent one-on-one. He keeps stuttering and rambling on:
Reggie Bush is apologizing now and wants to give back his Heisman Trophy, but he should have have already given it back if he really wanted too. Bush knew he was relishing in personal benefits and loved every second of having better approval ratings over the Bush running the country (at the time.) If USC allows Coach Kiffin to stay during this probation mess, USC will learn over time they hired the correct guy to Fight On!
Switching gears to the team that deserves to have the national championship trophy on their campus. Some say give it to Oklahoma, some say give it to Auburn (who was 13-0), and some say simply just vacate it. This past June, right before the NCAA handed the Trojans severe sanctions, I proposed the questions to Coach Kiffin and Coach Tuberville: Could the 2004 Auburn Tigers beat the 2004 USC Trojans? As much as I want Kiffin and Tuberville to do well at Texas Tech and USC, I firmly believe Auburn would have given the SEC six national championships in the last seven football seasons (2003-2009.) Here are the questions proposed to Coach Kiffin and Tuberville; and why Tuberville thinks Oklahoma lost to USC on the field:
