According to Lane Kiffin, USC’s starting quarterback Matt Barkley won’t play against the Fighting Irish Saturday. Barkley suffered an injury in USC’s loss to UCLA this past Saturday, and it’s apparently a shoulder sprain. This is big, big news for top-ranked Notre Dame. Since they’ll play against a USC team without their starting QB, it looks like we’ll see them in the BCS title game!

USC Trojans: Lane Kiffin Has Failed; Time To Move On

I've been patiently waiting. I've given Lane Kiffin the benefit of the doubt and took the whole 'wait and see' approach to Kiffin. The 'fire Lane Kiffin' bandwagon has been gaining steam for awhile now. Week after week, a few more people hop onto the bandwagon, and I've been reluctant to get on. I didn't want to get on it, but after yet another game...

Lane F**king Kiffin, Bro

That was the slogan of a very popular t-shirt among young USC football fans a couple of years ago. It was a preshrunk cotton middle finger to Trojan haters. It meant “Yeah, our coach is an arrogant prick, and we love it because we’re better than you.” Those t-shirts disappeared as quickly as the “Mike Williams Is Gangsta” shirts did in 2003 (those are so obsolete you can’t...
