Follow me to the truth

I don't know if there's any legitimacy to this working, but I know that was the peaking point of us playing like assAthens after the Auburn Blackout game

Peake finally looking like his old self after being injured 2 years ago and never fully healing last season and being limited!They said he's running like he did when he dusted Martavis Bryant and Sammy Watkins in a race... and we know he can catch also

We are 4 deep at TE!!!!
5 deep at RB so none of them should get winded.
This is a set up year for a 2016 run... but if the OL grows up fast and the DL can generate a decent pass rush...we can be the darkhorse this season.
I expected the top 6
@uscpsycho: So I hear Sark had a few too many shots of @fireballwhisky before taking the stage at Salute to Troy. #USC
Steve Sarkisian has had some rough times personally, so you can imagine that he's not the best frame of mind right now.
That being said, Sarkisian has a history of venting behind close doors (he bashed Cal at a Washington donor event after snatching peak recruiter Tosh Lupoi away) and open ones (he made fun of fancy uniforms at Pac-12 Media Day, and Oregon was quick to pounce). Saturday night, he went peak Sark Week on Saturday Night at the Salute To Troy event. The Salute to Troy is the official kickoff to the USC football season and an annual school-sponsored event for big donors and is usually a festive showing.
But it turned south pretty quickly when Sark took the stage in front of the USC players, staff, coaches, their families and friends and all the assorted donors.
We only have some tidbits of his antics via Twitter, but here are the key points that we can focus on.
Sarkisian could not complete his speech and was pulled off stage by athletic director Pat Haden and former Trojan legend John McKay.
- Sarkisian was definitely drunk at the event and slurring his words during the speech. That's been confirmed by multiple sources at the party.
- Sarkisian dropped an F-Bomb while introducing his team to the donors.
Sark apparently said some other inappropriate things during the speech that we cannot confirm at this time, but it sounds like a lot of Trojan donors who were present were not too happy with the proceedings. We'll update the post if we can confirm any of the other things.

I was there and everyone at our table could not believe what we were hearing. He was totally slurring his words and finally dropped an F bomb after which he did not return to the stage. We were next to the Kessler's family table and Cody and his girlfriend had shocked looks on their faces. Cody ended up closing the event with a great final speech to the audience (2500 in attendance) with the entire team on the stage behind him. I saw Haden speaking animatedly and walking off quickly with Peter Sirmon. Also saw Nikias in the mens room and he appeared embarrassed and upset. Sark may have gotten away with this in front of a small booster group of guys, but to pull this stint in front of such a large group including the school president, AD, big donors, players and their families along with other fans with their kids is pretty unforgivable.
Here are USC head coach Steve Sarkisian and athletic director Pat Haden on Saturday night's Salute to Troy event:
Sarkisian: "I sincerely apologize to my players and staff and to our fans for my behavior and my inappropriate language at our kickoff event Saturday night. I have a responsibility to all of them and I let them down. Pat Haden talked to me after the event about my actions and I assured him this will not happen again."
Haden: "I met with Coach Sarkisian and I expressed my disappointment in the way he represented himself and the University at our Salute To Troy event. While the details of our conversation will remain between us, I am confident he heard my message loud and clear."

The fact that OSU is even playing one is amazingWe play 7 preseason Top 25 teamsJust to compare, not to knock them, TCU plays 2, Ohio State plays 1
We play 7 preseason Top 25 teams that the press thinks is gonna be hot even though they truly have no idea outside of the top 5 if any of them are worth a damn, and we will use this fugazi list to support the quality of our schedule even if teams like TN and ole miss get destroyed all year.Just to compare, not to knock them, TCU plays 2, Ohio State plays 1, which is about the same as last year even if ohio state gave us that work
