USC Trojans

USC vs Notre Dame is the Only Intersectional Rivalry

By

In the USC Trojans vs the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, you have a rivalry that doesn't have the element of close proximity, and that makes it unlike any other in the world. Duke and North Carolina are separated by just ten miles on Tobacco Road. Liverpool FC and Everton are separated by Stanley Park, which is just over a mile long. USC vs. Notre Dame isn't an in-state rivalry … [Read more...] about USC vs Notre Dame is the Only Intersectional Rivalry

Oregon Ducks 62, USC Trojans 51: fun with the box score

By

It was a battle of high octane offenses and bad defenses (and the top 2 hottest cheerleading squads, look here to check out Oregon's crew, go here for USC's squad) Oregon Ducks 62, USC Trojans 51. 113 combined points as Oregon keeps their national title hopes alive. "Video game numbers" has become a cliche lately, but it applied to this college football game. Here's some … [Read more...] about Oregon Ducks 62, USC Trojans 51: fun with the box score

Notre Dame Football and Brian Kelly: How does this story end?

By

Halfway through his second season at the pressure-packed helm of Notre Dame football, Brian Kelly has experienced horrible tragedy and made almost every mistake imaginable. From the death of Declan Sullivan to horrible public admission that the players he recruited were on a different level than those he inherited, Kelly has done a lot in creating the minefield he has to … [Read more...] about Notre Dame Football and Brian Kelly: How does this story end?

Pac-12 Basketball Preview and Predictions

By

It's still weird to write "Pac-12" but in the ever changing college sports landscape, the conference expanded with the additions of Colorado and Utah.  Those two schools won't help the Pac-12 become a stronger conference during the 2011-2012 season, but the league should be slightly more competitive as a whole. Here are my Pac-12 predictions for the 2011-2012 season.  Click … [Read more...] about Pac-12 Basketball Preview and Predictions

Notre Dame’s Michael Floyd: 3rd or 4th Best Pro Prospect at Receiver?

By

There are some that would say that Michael Floyd wasn't even the best receiver on the field on the evening Notre Dame took on USC. And Floyd failed to even surpass the thirty yard mark against the Trojans; which gave the critics more ammunition. Of course, he made up for it yesterday with a 120+ yards receiving and a touchdown versus Navy. Yeah, it's Navy, but we know what … [Read more...] about Notre Dame’s Michael Floyd: 3rd or 4th Best Pro Prospect at Receiver?

Notre Dame Fighting Irish 59, Air Force Falcons 33: Rapid Reaction

By

Offense was the story in South Bend on Saturday, as Tommy Rees the “Game Manager” became Tommy Rees “the Touchdown slinger.” Notre Dame reeled off 42 first half points thanks in large part to four passing touchdowns from their quarterback in route to a 59-33 shellacking of the Air Force Academy in a game that was not even as close as the already lopsided outcome would … [Read more...] about Notre Dame Fighting Irish 59, Air Force Falcons 33: Rapid Reaction

We are proud to reach a milestone here in the 77s- out first ever guest posting! Please welcome Amy Lamare from Gridiron Goddess. Ms. Lamare and I met at the Nike Football Media Summit in Dallas, and what follows is entirely written by her, so if/when you notice the "us" and "we" in reference to the team- that's why. No Illini would ever do such a thing. Enjoy: The USC … [Read more...] about #30 USC Trojans: College Football 77 in 77
