'Twas the day before national signing day. I was checking the Rivals' college football team recruiting rankings for the 2008 season and something down right scary happened: I couldn't find USC. I looked from #1 to #2. No USC. My eyes must have been playing tricks on me. I checked #1 again...no, that definitely said Florida. It wasn't at #3 either. I shamefully looked all the way down to #5. No Trojans.
What the hell? The 11-2, Pete Carroll coached, Pac-10/Rose Bowl champs couldn't be found in the top five? But the Fighting Irish somehow managed to steal the Trojan's place at #2? Notre Dame? Since when is going 3-9 a good thing? Did these four and five-star Irish recruits not have televisions this past year? Am I stuck in some sort of disgusting Twilight Zone episode? USC had finished with one of the top three recruiting class for the past five years in a row. Three of those years USC was #1. Where was USC now? Not even on my computer screen! I had to scroll down!
SCROLL DOWN?! OH, THE HUMANITY!!!
