As Mark Horton points out, they've struggled somewhat just lately, but if you attend the school and realize how much they live for the Rose Bowl its definitely easy to see how probation could affect their motivation. I'm especially concerned with this recent wave of probation that their recruiting might suffer. By the way how did the Florida game get on TV? Top quality players like big time publicity which doesn't go to schools on probation. I agree that some eastern schools have gotten shafted in the past, especially Penn State (don't forget though THEY cooked THEIR OWN goose the year they had it sewed up and choked against Alabama in the Sugar Bowl). But, how can you label a school that has turned out O.J., (I'm not even going to ramble on the tailback tradition) and tons of other players who made it big in the Pros overrated. Even in these past lean years they've turned out Ronnie Lott, Chip Banks, and Marcus Allen. All who should do well in the Pros. One final comment, where would Monday Night Football be without the Giffer at least trying to keep Howard in line. so on offense vs. defense, This is in defense of the Trojans Tim Davidheiser CB BTL nscs!tsd
