Football: Ironic photo of the day

USC commits Dillon Baxter, Kyle Prater and Gardena Serra receiver defensive back-wide receiver Robert Woods posed in Trojans gear earlier today at a media event leading up to the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, which will be played at 10 a.m. PST Saturday at the Alamodome in San Antonio.

But will they change their colors if USC Coach Pete Carroll departs for the Seattle Seahawks? Rancho Verde defensive end-linebacker Ronald Powell, who is deciding between Florida and USC, said Carroll’s departure would make the Gators the frontrunners for his services.

Powell is rooming with Woods this week but has not discussed the developing situation with him, he said. Woods doesn’t look too happy in the above photo, but it might just be a trying-to-look-cool pose.
