Those control freaks RUINED our game day experience. On top of pushing us out of our season ticket seats and hiking prices. I still have no plans to go back and I had season tickets since JRII.
We start winning more they will come. Yes the tail gate party needs to be reinvented. Also the march from heritage hall with band to coli. Was so much fun
I’m saying we do the same thing Washington did with their QB situation. Long street plays in every game and then you put more and more on his plate and closer to the end of the season long streets better than my other then just making the full-time starter.
Our society is changing, Marc. I watched a news item about restaurants. On-site dining has dried up, while take-out services have exploded. People are becoming more reclusive; they need not leave home for food and entertainment. Sporting events must be experiencing a similar phenomenon.
I love the rant Marc. I used to take people to games when I had season tickets during the Pete Carroll era. People who had been to lots of sporting events and a lot of them said how they had never experienced anything like a USC home game. Especially if it was a big game. The tailgate, the walk to the Coli with the band, kicking the light pole, sneaking beers in all the way to Lose Yourself, it was an all day event. '08 Ohio Ste was the best one. We had some friendly trash talking with some OSU fans before the game. After Rey's pick 6 we were almost throwing fists! 😂. I knew we were close to the same age, but I didn't know that we were born and graduated high school the same year. Yeah, that Gen X attitude is strong.
LoL Marc I am 99% with you on yoir rant this morning, but you can keep the Kid Rock. I do get your point and I hope someone from marketing with a little power watched today's show. Southern California, tailgating and USC Football makes for a great weekends!!! FIGHT ON ✌✌✌✌✌
@gendaminoru3195 yeah if he's guaranteed to take over when LR moves on then I believe he will stick around. It would be REALLY smart on USC's part to lock Coach Lynn down like that because he's going to do really good as a Head Coach
Moving most of the tailgates out of Expo Park and the slow demise of the Thundering Herd, changed the game day experience for me. Of course the nzaa sanctions and tailspin of the Trojan teams hasn't helped either. Win games and people will come, but it won't bring the energy like 2004. The University doesn't understand how to make the experience worth coming to In Person any more. They Should talk to people like you!
Pat Haden again on the demise of the Thundering Herd. As soon as he showed up, the cops began to show up and keep us off the wall. Of course, the idiot Kiffin was not Herd friendly either. I remember in 2001 after the Arizona State game and Pete came running into the Herd shaking hands after the “We Believe!” chant. We lost to ND on the road the next week and from then on SC was off to the races. From the middle of 2001 through 2003, you could feel the momentum building and it kept on going through til 2009.
The key is his wife. If she is happy in Los Angeles He will stay in L.A.. And the extra money helps too. D'Anton Lynn is an excellent coach. We cannot afford to lose him. He is our MVP. So it's great news Marc.
When you are wrong about something, you admit it and make no excuses about. I was wrong about Lynn and I am extremely happy about it! This proves to me that USC is determined to get this thing right and get USC back to where they should be..Among the top of college football instead of 9th place in the Big 10. Keeping the elite defensive coaching staff is crucial for continuity and landing top recruits and key portal additions. This is obviously phenomenal news! Have a good plane ride back to Happy Valley Franklin..😂 It's funny how even though USC has struggled recently to get back to the top or near the top of college football, that everyone seems to always want our players and coaches..Pregnon and Bear get Oregoned, Entz becomes HC at Fresno St and Lynn was the must get hot commodity for Penn St..So maybe, hopefully we will be putting this together on the football field very soon. I sure hope so!
I've been told to always respect your opponent. One day Missouri-State will pull an Appalachian-State style upset of a Power-4 team. And will probably happen to a team or coach that acts like their 💩 don't stink. Some coaches are more susceptible than others.
Marc, teams that play for the chip tend to have had very easy noncon games - season is long & the committee doesn’t award big wins only penalizes losses (see Boise & Indiana, zero big wins but each only 1 loss & each had a fairly EASY schedule)
Longstreet & the Offense is going to Carve up defenses and our Defense is going to be NASTY✌️ Oh yeah and don't forget about "Thanos" freshman all American? Now if Maiva wins the job then fine butt you have to get Longstreet in the game! & UR right our stadium needs to be Packed all the time!
Got great 👍🏽 respect 🫡 for you .Mr.Marc Kulkin ✌🏽 but USC ✌🏽 has to start winning. California 😎 is too expensive ‼️ and they are honestly ‼️ not gonna spend . their hard earned money 💰 on losers.🫣😲🤫🤐 You need to swallow those words.

WeAreSC Fight On 🗡️✌🏽💪🏽😤
They are Millionaires 😂 they don't care, They love living in California. Why do you think millionaires are always moving here! Stop feeding into the Fake news and media Hype of People thinking it's to Expensive. Those 300k that moved to Texas, well guess what? I bet they didn't tell you another 450k people moved right in 😂... This is a World wide Destination for living and Travel 🧳.. Texas and Florida has Higher Property taxes than California by A lot!! thats where they recoup there "No state income tax" BS .. 😂
Marc look up ready to rumble bawitdaba scene, to be precise type in ready to rumble the faces arrive. I think that's the emotion your talking about lol
Very happy that Coach Lynn is staying. The D was much better last year and I expect with another off season of Lynn, it will be better again in 2025. FO ✌️
San Jose St is a MUCH bigger step up than MO St! I am with you, not a fan of soft preseason. However, of a freshman were to start, it would be a great ser up.
Because he was under contract from last year. You normally don’t re-up someone’s contract if its not expired or there’s a threat from an outside school to poach.
Marc, as far as the fans go, there is only one to way to get it back to the way it was during the Carroll era as you described...START WINNING AGAIN!!! Its the only way. And remember, back then SC football was the only game in town and the Trojans were on top of the college football world. It was the place to be. Frontrunning, all the celebrities. It was cool. But its not like Nebraska, Alabama, Ohio St, Notre Dame. It just isnt unfortunately. People only go consistently when they are winning. I agree with everything you said, but unfortunately it will only change with winning. If USC is 5-0 when Michigan comes to town, I guarantee you there will be 77,500 screaming raging people waiting to unload on Michigan and carry USC to victory..And also remember. Pete Carroll's first game against SJState do you remember what the attendance was?? About 42,000..See? Low attendance that whole first season except against UCLA when they were starting to turn it around. Their were only about 70,000 against Auburn to start the 2002 season and that was the beginning of the dynasy.. But nobody was really sure. They just have to start winning consistently again and it will change. But you are exactly right. Its super frustrating..Hopefully it gets back to what is was..
Honestly idc nor do i feel that strong about Lynn staying because he could've been more aggressive but at the sametime the Defensive did good but again i don't care because the number of DC's are very similar to the numb of OC in the NFL theres a good amount of good DC's out there.
@LockedOnUSC it was me complaining about some things he wasn't doing during the season in games he was a good DC but there's plenty of them out their haven't seen anything that makes me feel like hes HIM or we have to have keep him no matter what
Hang in there. Let's move the chains . FYI , the dept of education just sent a letter saying colleges must spend an equal amount of Nil on males and females . It won't hold up but think about it. It would screw up colleges even more than they already are.
Keep LR. Keep Lynn. Get those linemen! Get as many as you can. Get a kicker. START SELLING USC THE WAY IT NEEDS TO BE SOLD. Make USC Football Great Again! BTW....the coaching carousel has and will always spin. People will always look for opportunities. Ken Norton Jr. was a great defensive coach. I never wanted to see him leave.
Agree that the game day experience needs revamping, but Kid Rock from 1999 is so not it. First words of the song are an anthem to himself. Plus, he's wearing a D on his jersey, for Detroit... MICHIGAN. He's likely rooting for a different Big10 school. Let alone his politics. We dont need 60 year old dudes bobbing their heads, we need the student section (who likely disagree with his stances) and the cheap seats going crazy. From Woodstock 99, please search Korn, Blind. Same dynamic intro with spots to get 'crazy' and jump around. I believe they r from SoCal as well, but could be wrong (cant believe that was 25 years ago). Alternatively, there's a dude out there who bleeds LA and is hot as sh*t right now, Kendrick Lamar. I guarantee u that the student section 100% knows his songs (Not like us). Watch him during the Super Bowl. Or, u cant go wrong with classic "California Love" from Tupac and Dr. Dre, i believe a big USC supporter. Another idea, make the National Anthem experience 'special'. Have a current 'star' lead the team out of the tunnel, Ice Cube/Dodgers style, singing one of their hits, followed by the Anthem. This will get butts in the seats EARLY. A somewhat crazy idea for tailgating. Coliseum is in the middle of housing communities. Perhaps a partnership between USC, City of LA, and residents to have neighborhood cookouts. Perhaps residents can sign up to 'host' a tailgate. They provide the front/backyard (for a rental fee of $100/hr, max 5 hours, paid to property owner?), u bring majority of your food, a few free all-day street parking spaces near house (City of LA). Folks are already parking on residential streets, inconveniencing the residents, this way they get a piece of the pie and allow a safe place to tailgate, then walk to the stadium.
Blame Pat Haden for the lousy game day experience. As far as Kid Rock, we don’t need him. We have the Greatest Marching Band in the History of the Universe. Stop drowning them out!
@LockedOnUSC I said Fans, and they're are not Listening to kid rock at an SC game, we all know that he doesn't like us as a race and so we don't support him or his music
I’m taking my granddaughter to the Indiana USC women’s game at Bloomington Indiana this Sunday. Can’t wait to watch.
This is your best rant...we used to show up for a 730 pm game at 7am tailgate all day.
..
@@ReneDavidAi you remember!!
Now you get six hours before kickoff it’s a joke
Unfortunately, the USC marketing people have proved they cannot do the game day experience.
Those control freaks RUINED our game day experience. On top of pushing us out of our season ticket seats and hiking prices. I still have no plans to go back and I had season tickets since JRII.
We start winning more they will come. Yes the tail gate party needs to be reinvented. Also the march from heritage hall with band to coli. Was so much fun
That walk with kicking the light pole was one of the highlights of the day.
Last year it was SC's offense that gave up the explosive plays. All the pick sixes...
Yes. LR needs to make sure the offense doesn't stop playing after turning over the ball. Those ND pick 6's were horrible...
MARK, love the passion. We need to play thunderstruck when they’re ready to come out of the tunnel. The place will go crazy. Fight on.✌️
That or Seek and Destroy.
Start Longstreet nough said, at the very least create a couple of packages for him to come off the bench
I’m saying we do the same thing Washington did with their QB situation. Long street plays in every game and then you put more and more on his plate and closer to the end of the season long streets better than my other then just making the full-time starter.
Great stories Marc!

Just make him head coach and send Riley to Penn state.

Amazing years

SC’s schedule sets up well in teens if breaking in a new QB, just saying ✌️✌️
Let's flipp Chris Henry from Mater Dei
Is the extension for only 1 year or longer?
@@HarlowSharp details weren’t released
Great new keeping D’lynn
Why did it take a scare to give him a new contract extension?
Because he was under contract from last year. You normally don’t re-up someone’s contract if its not expired or there’s a threat from an outside school to poach.
SC’s biggest win.
We don’t need Kid Rock for USC. He could stay down there with the scum eaters conference.
He’s ours now well for the second time lol glad he staying
I agree , getting old Sucks ! ✌️😎
Kid Rock is a republican. No way they will play his music in LA! 😂
D'Anton Lynn will be the next Marcus Freeman. You can tell by the way he carries himself.
78 yd would probably win the Pro Bowl this year
Lincoln had to of taken a pay cut. 😂
