Wilner's latest outrage
08/31/09 at 2:03am
 
In his continuing effort to endear himself to Stanford fans, he picks our friends from across the Bay to win the title and end their 50 year Rose Bowl drought. No more chiding them on that, I guess.

He picks us 6th, but says we could finish anywhere from 5th to 8th. No word on how JH's "luxury" potty affected his prognosis.

I do agree that if Petey's boys are ever going to get dethroned, this will be the year. Also, if it happens, Kal is as good a choice as any as the team to do it.

The talent dropoff from Corp to Barkley cannot be that great.  Barkley will do fine behind the brick wall of an OL that USC fields.  Losing Ronald Johnson will hurt though.  Despite having a ton of talent at WR, there's just not that much experience to go around.

I shed no tears for USC.  I can envision Stanford overcoming an early learning curve to match up well against the Trojans.  Maybe we'll reprise the '07 spoiler role.

Wilner is not alone on this prediction.  2 of 4 college football honks picked kal to win the Pac (the other two picked SC).  I know you were jesting, JPRI, when calling out Wilner's latest "outrage."  

Agree with fullmetal that SC's loss at WR, as opposed to starting a frosh QB, might be the biggest hurdle to a P10 title for SC.  And it is time for SC to encounter some bumps in their road.

Here's my prediction: SC loses at least twice this regular season.

What two honks thought that Jahvid Best could overcome Kevin Riley and carry kal to a Pac-10 title??  I can't wait for the next Riley blooper to materialize :p

Let's not also forget that Michael Calvin, #2 kal WR (I think?), just had arthroscopic knee surgery.
