Rose Bowl Bulletin Board Material Keeps Coming

Stay tuned to Black Shoe Diaries for the latest bulletin board material from a disappointed USC team. This terrific Penn State sports blog is committed to re-publishing every USC comment that suggests that they are "too good for" the Rose Bowl, the Big Ten, or Penn State. It's only been three days since they got the inside track to the Rose Bowl (after Oregon State lost to Oregon on Saturday) and USC has already made over half a dozen comments that you would never hear out of any Penn State player to the media.

Actually, I'm pretty sure if our guys said ANYTHING like this, JoePa would shut-down all direct media communication with his players.

Four straight Rose Bowl appearances might get boring, but lock-it-up Trojans. As you can see, this is a team that doesn't just boarder the line of confidence and cockiness. USC actually thinks that they can talk all of this smack for over a month and get away with it. Like Penn State won't be listening? This is just the product of a team following its leader--Head Coach Pete Carroll--but that topic is for another day.

All I know is: "Get your popcorn ready" on New Years Day, 5:10 p.m., EST. The Trojans are going to face a motivated and focused Nittany Lion team.
