"I don't have a whistle, I just say whistle."

How good is USC? So good that their walk-on tryouts seem to be viewed largely as a joke, merely an entertaining way to spend an afternoon for Trojans Tight Ends coach Brennan Carroll. Yes, Pete's son. Language contained in the video is probably NSFW:



Five of those guys made the squad? Maybe it's just me but I didn't see anyone who'd even classify as a white chip prospect and USC doesn't really gain interest unless you're brown (aka "chocolate") chip level. I highly suspect that USC held walk-on tryouts simply as entertaining fodder for their program sanctioned blog. (This idea is BRILLIANT, by the way. Pulitzers were announced yesterday and I can't believe Pete Carroll didn't win one for allowing such access.)

Of course, treating the walk-on program with such indifference is damn near sacrilege in Nebraska. Those guys can and will work hard and become contributors. Seen it a thousand times and this leads me to believe that Nebraska's walk-ons would crush USC's with all the efficiency and embarrassing ease that the Trojans displayed against our varsity squad last year.
