Oh man, that was great. Carroll deserved every bit of that beat down. He’s been running up scores on people for years. I hope every team out there with a double digit second half lead on USC from now on always goes for two, always goes for the TD, and beats them by 35! Best game ever.

Totally agree with Marc on how pete carroll is pushing Aaron Corp off the ship just because of that performance during the Washington game. He shouldn't base his opinion on Corp's performance based on that one game. It could have been a bad hair day for Corp that day.

pete carroll really has an ego problem. This is why he has A LOT of turnovers when it comes to his assistant coaches.

It first started off with Norm Chow being pushed off the boat. pete carroll hated the fact that the media was giving all the credit to Norm Chow for the excellence he brought to SC for working hand in hand with Carson Palmer and building accuracy with Troy Polamalu back in the 2003 year.

After he left, Orgeron and Lane Kiffin ditched pete carroll.

So much for his arrogance. Then most recently, Steve Sarkisian and Nick Holt left/darted from USC. Again, probably because carroll has his head up his a$$.

The 2-point conversion was classless? Oh puleez! I have seen coach pete carroll run up the score on many teams, and even when USC was up by 20 points, such as the Washington State game, the trojans did a nasty on-side kick. WTF? USC up by 20 points against an underdog Washington State team and the trojans try to recover their own ball? I also recall pete carroll doing this sh-t to Hawaii back in Sept 2003 at the Coliseum. SC was up by 30 points over Hawaii and Carroll decided to do a nasty onside kick. I heavily remember this as coach June Jones (now at SMU) was totally infuriated at pete carroll. Ahahaha. Now pete carroll knows how it feels to be at the other end of the yard stick. In the past, he used to dish out pain and suffering. Now this year, Oregon has spanked USC. Then Stanford spanked and ripped apart a once-good USC football team. I hate to say this, but it USC’s defense doesn’t step on the gas pedal, I’m sure UCLA will give you a long long day next weekend.

The 2 point conversion was in retaliation for usc’s running up the score last year at Stanford.

Couple years from now folks will look back at Carroll's shabby treatment of Aaron Corp as the beginning of the end of his dynasty. What was supposed to be an environment built around competition has been exposed as little more than Pete's pet project, based more on his rather strange infatuation with Barkley. Meanwhile, the loss of valuable assistants has crippled the program, especially on defense. So Troy burns while Pete works on his golden boy. And, by the way, I say this as a huge fan and alumnus.

Finally, has anybody been a bigger flop than Taylor Mays? Way to go big guy, you cost yourself millions with this year's rather pedestrian performance and failed to step up as a leader. Pathetic!

Greg Katz...Do you really believe that work of fiction you put out there? Pete Carroll is class? I'm not saying he is a bad guy, but you must have some issue to elevate Pete Carroll to such heights...or low expectations.

Outside of Trojan town, everyone one is loving Harbaugh's decision to go for two. USC has certainly run up some scores in recent years and haven't pulled any punches in lopsided games. And what are you talking about that SC's defense sent a message by stopping the 2 point conversion? They let in another touchdown after that! Maybe their message should have been to not let Stanford get 55 points.

The two point conversion attempt by Stanford, uh er, should I say Harbaugh was un-called for. Ya'll do understand that it was not an attempt to run up the score, but an "attempt" to kick a good man while he's down. That is Harbaugh's id, his MO, his high school bully personality. He has always been a spoiled brat and a bully; even in his NFL days. Heck, he and Jimmy Clausen are more suited for each other than Luck or Gerhart.

Harbaugh hates Pete Carroll's success at USC, and he knows that he cannot compete with Carroll, in the long run. All the mouthing off Harbaugh has done during his tenure at Stanford is just a smokescreen for him to try to beat up PC, and build up his image and future NFL coaching career. There was absolutely no reason for Harbaugh to call the 2 pointer, other than to kick Pete C. in the teeth while he was down. Yes, it was not a football call, but another one of Harbaugh's personal vendetta calls... And when SC's Defense stopped the 2 point conversion, they sent a message to Harbaugh that he can't bully us at will. SC fought back and kicked him in the teeth on national TV. Unfortunately, ESPN won't show that highlight and make good press of it. ...

This action among many, my friends, does not make for a sense of style and class, that is Pete Carroll. And Harbaugh will never be able to match all that Pete Carroll is and stands for, because Harbaugh is a self-centered bully in the worst sense of the word.

And in the words of my mother-in-law....There's two kinds of class. Class, which is Pete Carroll, and clASS, which is Harbaugh.

Sta Fight On 13 my friends. Beat the Bruins.

This year must be hard for Mays.
