01.16.09 ‘DUDE, WHERE’S MY QUARTERBACK?’
Southern Cal coach Pete Carroll has this reputation for being one of the more laid-back and personable guys in college football. That reputation might take a hit after throwing a mighty hissy fit after his quarterback, Mark Sanchez, announced that he would skip his senior year and enter the NFL draft. Carroll, who probably pays his players anyway, was surely pissed. And said so.
“We have always been in full support of Mark pursuing his dream,” Carroll said, “he just should have postponed realizing his dream another 12 months.”[...]
Carroll cited a study that shows 62 percent of underclassmen quarterbacks who declare early for the Draft eventually don’t pan out in the NFL. He also pointed to Sanchez’s NFL Draft evaluation, which projected Sanchez as a second-round selection.[...]
“Even though we disagree, I still support him and we’re going to try to help him in any way we can,” Carroll said. “It’s like a family member — you’re not going to stop loving him just because he makes a bad choice.
I’m guessing this is the same spiel that Carroll gave Matt Leinart in 2005. Leinart, you’ll remember, would have went back to USC for his senior year despite being the consensus No. 1 prospect in that year’s draft; he was drafted tenth the following year, signed for a lot less money, and he’sstill riding the bench. Even if Carroll couldn’t brainwash his quarterback into coming back, why poop in the lunchbox of a guy that’s going to represent his program in the pros? Not cool, bro. Not cool.

Morning bitches
oh well, let the mayhem continue…..step aside people this is a coup, do what we say and no one gets hurt
much better site.
definitely better.
C’mon Pete! What do you do when you’ve had every USC song girl? You turn pro before they get all clingy and start accusing you of “forced sodomy”.
Gotta call ‘em like you see ‘em: Sanchez has played in 16 games since he left high school, can’t hold onto the ball when he’s hit and makes poor decisions when he’s put under pressure. Things should work out great in Detroit or Chicago or whatever other semi-pro team drafts him.
POOLMAN, we’re on the Devin Harris’ GF thread
‘Sup former Durdenites?
wtf is Carroll worried about, just plug in Sanchez’s back up and they’ll still win 11 games next year.
that goes for you too, doc, LD and topher!
only T&A and fights/crashes..
Heh heh. Leinart. Playing backup to a walking Geritol ad.
sir yes sir
I’m in.
So this is it? This is where I lurk now?
Ok, I made it over. Where are the fucking tits?
He called the shit poop!!!!
Durdenites! We are in the “Devin Harris’ GF” thread just a few beneath this one. Make your way there!
no problem DB
Punte, how about getting off your punting ass and ethnically cleansing this place of Durdenites?
Enrico, we are going to stick to the tits based threads and only join these if we have something valid to say about sports. No treading on toes is intended
Don’t be hatin’, Enrico. We are no longer Durdenites–we have defected
What’s up your ass, Enrico? We mean no harm. Pepper, get that out of Enrico’s ass!
I think the preferred term is ‘defuncted’
What is going on? Did someone get Durden in my Leather? Some leather on my Durden?
Oh, sports, right! Yeah, and I hope that crybaby Mitch Mustain dies from splinters in his ass from riding the bench. Serves you right, Momma’s boy!
