Monday Hot Links

Football

• As mentioned before on this blog, fans watching spring practice should be careful. You never know who might get hurt. Yesterday it was almost a little girl. Instead, it was wide receiver Damian Williams.
• The second Under Armour All-American game will feature the high school class of 2009. 45 of the 80 players have already been selected. USC and Texas lead the way with four commits each.
• What if the Trojans played in another conference? "In the last seven years under Carroll, USC would've won the SEC title the same amount of times it won the Pac-10 title: six." -- Matt Hays, Sporting News
• Another draft analysis of John David Booty.
• Purely coincidence, there's also a three-way QB race at that other Troy.

Hoops

• USC alum Nick Young played the game of his life at Staples Center, scoring 27 for Washington in an overtime loss to the Lakers.
• What if you filled out your March Madness bracket based on the median salary of each school's graduates? It would look like this. And you would probably lose your pool.

Baseball

• You can take the Dodgers fans out of Chavez Ravine, but you can't take the Chavez Ravine out of the Dodgers fans.
• Both Pete and Brennan Carroll popped three home runs in batting practice. Must be genetic. Here's the video by USC's Mark Haas and Eric Espinoza.

I like how John Hayes puts that SEC fanboy into his place.

That Pete Carroll is something else...they broke the mold when they made him.

Ha! I was there for that Dodgers wave in the Coliseum. It was unreal--the first time in 10 years I felt compelled to participate.
