USC’S REIGN AT THE TOP IS OVER – FOR NOW

Ding Dong’ the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low.
Let them know
The Wicked Witch is dead!

For some reason, this song was running through my head as I watched Stanford pummel USC.

For Trojans fans, it has been a fantastic ride for the last seven years. So fantastic, in fact, that Trojan fans are completely guilty of taking it for granted. Every single one of them (myself, included).

Virtually every hiccup along the way has cost USC a trip to the National Championship, which in turn turned the Rose Bowl into a consolation prize of sorts. USC fans are always disappointed to “only” win the Pac-10 and “only” go to the Rose Bowl.

And that’s one of the reasons why fans around the conference have hated the USC Trojans and their fans for the better part of a decade now, and as Stanford drove the final nail into the coffin that Washington had opened and Oregon had closed, there is plenty of reason for the rest of the conference to celebrate.

A friend of mine asked me, “Dave, you know your Pac-10; Is USC done for? I mean, I know they are this season, but are they done for good?”

I’m surprised at how many people are living in the moment so badly that they are actually asking this question. NO, USC isn’t done for good. They still have one of the best coaches in the country and a never-ending stable of 4 and 5-star talent. They will be a serious contender for the Pac-10 title next year, as well as the years to come.

The beauty, though, is that they won’t be the only serious contender. 2009 will not mark the beginning of the end of USC as a football power; but it will mark the end of their stranglehold over the rest of the conference.

Pac-10 Media Day really makes it hit home; football is right around the corner!  All 10 coaches enter the season with the same 0-0 record, and all have their own hopes and goals for the upcoming season.

Just wanted to make this post to help you get down to the nitty gritty and get you all caught up on your favorite team’s (and rival’s) day at Media Day.

Video

The whole three hour and 30 minute event can be seen here, if you didn’t have the chance to see it live and you have a bit of extra time on your hands. In case you just want to see a particular team or two’s section, we’ve provided a time code to help you out;

Arizona’s Mike Stoops and FS Cam Nelson – 01:47:58
Arizona State’s Dennis Erickson and OLB Mike Nixon – 01:14:36
California’s Jeff Tedford and RB Jahvid Best – 02:08:45
Oregon’s Chip Kelly and CB Walter Thurmond III – 02:38:36
Oregon State’s Mike Riley and OLB Keaton Kristick – 02:25:26
Stanford’s Jim Harbaugh and RB Toby Gerhart – 00:58:01

Washington’s Steve Sarkisian and OLB Donald Butler – 00:28:27
Washington State’s Paul Wulff and C Kenny Alfred – 00:17:58

Quotes

Pac-10.org has put up detailed quotes from each coach’s 15 minutes of Media Day fame. ESPN’s Ted Miller took some quick blurbs yesterday as each coach took the mic, summing up the jist of each coach’s key points.

These are the two places I’d suggest getting your quote fix.

Arizona – Pac-10.org – Ted Miller
Arizona State – Pac-10.org – Ted Miller
California – Pac-10.org – Ted Miller
Oregon – Pac-10.org – Ted Miller
Oregon State – Pac-10.org – Ted Miller
Stanford – Pac-10.org – Ted Miller
UCLA – Pac-10.org – Ted Miller
USC – Pac-10.org – Ted Miller
Washington – Pac-10.org - Ted Miller
Washington State – Pac-10.org – Ted Miller

Anyone else wish they could fastforward through August straight to September 3rd?
