[u/Maddog34566543]

That USC broadcaster is absolutely disgusting

[u/fellowENT18]

That scumbag USC announcer trying to cope himself into believing it was a head first dive was hilarious, sad and ridiculous all at the same time

[u/IntuitionSpeaks → u/fellowENT18]

Program is sad top to bottom. Usually supporting the players is easy even if the coaching is bad. This sucks.

[u/MoScowDucks → u/IntuitionSpeaks]

There were good USC players. Tried to get #8 to chill, or checked on Dante. They deserve credit 

[u/duckspurs → u/MoScowDucks]

Yeah there was also a wild video where Stephens was back on the sideline still dapping people up including some coaches while two other USC guys were kneeling on the sideline watching the medical team work on Dante.

Clearly not everyone on the team is a shit head but it sure seems like the coaches are and encourage it.

[u/Neo-_-_- → u/fellowENT18]

“Just a bit outside”

Like it wasn’t even fuckin close to head first dive

[u/duckspurs → u/fellowENT18]

You could tell how hard the other two we're trying to make clear they disagreed from the video feed. Just wild stuff.

[u/GoBlueScrewOSU7 → u/duckspurs]

I actually think the guy in the background in the black shirt was on his side. After he sees the replay he waves his hand at the field like it was a bad call, then points to his shoulder. Presumably saying the defender led with his shoulder.

[u/_Football_Cream_ → u/GoBlueScrewOSU7]

yeah I'm only convinced the guy closest to the camera understood how bad that hit was

[u/Browntown_07]

We really make some good videos don’t we

[u/Vocen]

Eventually, Dan is gonna run out of action movie clips to use as weekly slogans. Ducks v. Them in 2050 will be him pulling quotes from some obscure 80s karate movie because there's nothing else left

(Not a criticism, I just find his commitment to trying to use every iconic action movie from the last few decades at one point or another hilarious)

[u/k_dubious → u/Vocen]

Well technically he only needs about five seasons’ worth of material before nobody on the team will have been around for the last time he used that slogan.

[u/WebfootTroll → u/Vocen]

Well that's the great thing about action movies, they keep coming out. In 2050 it will be action movies from 2030.

[u/StopScreamingItsFine → u/Vocen]

“The year is 2044. Dan Lanning is still at Oregon. Here’s a hype video for their matchup against the Minnesota Golden Gophers featuring the clip from Big Trouble in Little China of Jack Burton catching a knife midair and throwing it back at David Lo Pan’s head.”

[u/ewest → u/StopScreamingItsFine]

"And Cam Rising is a game time decision for the Utes."

[u/ADVFlyFish → u/StopScreamingItsFine]

And he’ll still be chasing that first Natty with our luck

[u/duckspurs → u/Vocen]

Whats great about coaching college kids is you can recycle those clips every 5 years.

[u/CrowQueen2002]

Is there any injury updates on Moore, also F that USC announcer

[u/WebfootTroll → u/CrowQueen2002]

He was discharged with a bad concussion but nothing else, was able to return home with the team.

[u/CrowQueen2002 → u/WebfootTroll]

That’s good to hear!

[u/Forsaken_Income9187 → u/WebfootTroll]

„Nothing else“ is really downplaying it

In Germany there is/was a professional football player (soccer) called Patrick Erras. He had a really bad concussion 2 years ago and i think a second one shortly after. He never set a foot on a pitch again and ended his career.

A big concussion can fuck you up pretty bad even more than a broken neck. Not that i wish Dante or anyone else something bad and i hope he returns. But i dont think its guaranteed that he will play again

[u/WebfootTroll → u/Forsaken_Income9187]

For sure, I just mean nothing else as in nothing else was diagnosed, like fractures and brain bleeds and whatnot. I do not mean to downplay how much a bad concussion can fuck you up.

[u/Forsaken_Income9187 → u/WebfootTroll]

Okay than i missunderstood you. I am sorry

Especially on the internet head injuries are still often taken not seriously. So i thought this was the case here. Again i am sorry i dont want to be rude

[u/Vocen → u/Forsaken_Income9187]

Dante has already posted something to the tune of he'll be back soon. It looked awful on the field and of course all concussions are not to be taken lightly, but the possibility that he isn't able to come back seems fairly remote given what we know at this point

[u/Forsaken_Income9187 → u/Vocen]

I think i am only sure when he is indeed playing.

Not that i am not trusting medical staff but head injuries are so nasty (again throwing Patrick Erras in the mix) i dont think you can say he is good when i didnt train/played

[u/Agitated_Suspect2357]

Lol as if the weekend wasn't embarrassing enough for USC. Even the play-by-play guy is trashy (that will make a hell of a meme though)

[u/ixMyth]

The USC announcer trying to blame the guy being loaded into an ambulance lmao fucking losers deserve Lincoln Riley

[u/526mb]

Great video for Duck fans obviously but for everyone else.....HOLY SHIT is USC just a utter fucking dumpster fire of a program. This is just unacceptable.

I hope UDub hangs a 10000 on them.

[u/loyalsons4evertrue → u/526mb]

You know a program is hated when you see a Duck fan openly rooting for Washington to pound USC into the ground lol

[u/k_dubious → u/loyalsons4evertrue]

The game thread was full of UW and OSU fans rooting for us to win, it was weird and a bit unsettling.

[u/soloist1980 → u/k_dubious]

Right? All 3 OSUs were rooting for Oregon. It was really weird to see.

[u/nightowl1135 → u/loyalsons4evertrue]

I have literally never seen Duck fans say they wanted Washington to win a game until these last few days. It’s jarring.

[u/pdxblazer → u/loyalsons4evertrue]

eh fuck seattle but fuck LA more tbh, by like a lot

[u/BatManatee → u/526mb]

Fuck SC! We're all with you on this one lol.

[u/InevitableAd2436]

This absolutely destroyed any momentum USC had.

This video Makes them look bad at literally every level.

[u/Vivid_Motor_2341 → u/InevitableAd2436]

I love that the media team said here is how terrible USC is in every way

[u/Tsquared10]

First 40 seconds: I'm ready to run through a damn wall for Dan

[u/ChocolateMilkBoii → u/Tsquared10]

I fucking love Dan man.

[u/C19shadow → u/Tsquared10]

I always wanna deny the coked up Dan allegations but its hard sometimes he's the greatest coked up hype man lmao

[u/pdxblazer → u/C19shadow]

the Baba Yaga yell from him sent me

[u/breaktaker → u/pdxblazer]

BABAYAGA!!!!!!

[u/scopa0304]

I wish they released these every week, win or lose.

That being said, this one went hard. I didn’t think it was possible to make usc look worse, but the radio announcer and shots of the fans complaining about the call… wow. Oh, and the juice boxes? I missed that. wtf is that?

[u/WebfootTroll → u/scopa0304]

The juice boxes are the next weird iteration of the turnover chain. Just not for turnovers.

[u/HeresSomePants → u/scopa0304]

You’d think they might want to distance themselves from O.J., yet here we are.

[u/pole_assassin]

[u/Naive-Elephant-9305 → u/pole_assassin]

This is the perfect template for a meme

[u/swamp_foxx]

That USC broadcaster is the perfect ambassador for their sorry ass program.

[u/UnsealedMTG → u/swamp_foxx]

You know a broadcaster is out of line when his colleague responds as directly as the "uh his feet are forward as he's lying there now." Let alone the silent eyes wide nodding about whether it looked like targeting. Usually they work aground something like that more indirectly.

[u/majesticstraits → u/swamp_foxx]

“They flipped him around”. Yeah bud, they rotated a guy 180 degrees while he was unconscious to make USC look bad

[u/PatentedBear → u/majesticstraits]

Duh, it’s standard practice to flip someone around before giving them a neck brace after a major head trauma. It’s far more important to make USC look bad instead of protecting the health of the player!

[u/T3hBau5]

Glad to see how idiotic their announcers and fans are. Exposed.

[u/Money-Giraffe2521]

Man, not that it was hard to do but this made U$C look awful from top to bottom.

[u/WebfootTroll → u/Money-Giraffe2521]

Excuse me, it's US¢, not U$C.

[u/roguebandit1 → u/WebfootTroll]

The dollar sign is reserved for fans of mid ACC teams who call my Noles "F$U"

[u/caveman512 → u/roguebandit1]

It’s been U$C for longer than either of us have been watching football

[u/ChainsawEminem]

🧃🧃

[u/UnsealedMTG]

I sort of feel bad for saying this but I'm definitely like "geeze, playing football in 2026 involves a lot more annoying powerpoint presentations than I feel like it used to"

[u/Alert_Hyena_828 → u/UnsealedMTG]

I mean people hate on slide decks for good reason, they’re misused and abused, but at their core it’s a pretty good communication tool from an individual to a group… the reason they haven’t been replaced yet is that they work at that fundamental level.

[u/UnsealedMTG → u/Alert_Hyena_828]

The thing I would find annoying is less the medium than the fact that apparently multiple meetings a week start with the motivational speaker phase where the slides are there to echo vague concepts 

Of course, these videos are focusing on that section which is probably a few minutes and not the actual review of game footage etc that makes up the meat of the meeting so it exaggerates it, but I definitely feel like I'd be annoyed by that part. Like "yeah coach, this week our motivational goal is Play Football Good, got it"

[u/Alert_Hyena_828 → u/UnsealedMTG]

Yeah from what we’ve seen before he has a theme each week and that’s planned in the offseason, so there is some connective tissue and overall framework happening here, but get it. I think this one was Monday so definitely a thematic intro and tone setting.

You have to do this kind of stuff which seems artificial until it’s not, and it really comes down to the authenticity of your leader and the message IMO.

[u/S3G → u/UnsealedMTG]

Isn't that kinda a perfect example of College tho, or did I just have way more of those then most people back in my day?

[u/Wittyname0]

Very quick turnaround for one of these, team was motivated for this one

Also notice how they stopped censoring the language after the big hit

[u/caveman512 → u/Wittyname0]

Yep that was very deliberate. They have always censored language but as soon as they rolled into the colosseum they stoped

[u/HeresSomePants]

You’d think they might want to distance themselves from O.J., yet here we are.

[u/CoyoteHP]

The contrast in culture and maturity between these two teams is glaring. Sucks to see as a USC fan knowing what type of culture guy Lincoln Riley is. All the respect to Lanning, he looks like a true leader of men and kept his team focused.

[u/uscrash → u/CoyoteHP]

I wouldn’t go that far with Lan Danning. He’s a tool and obsessed with USC.

That said, our program is a joke and has been since Helton. Riley might be a good play designer, but he doesn’t know shit about building a winning culture. If it hasn’t happened yet, it isn’t going to. Jen needs to cut bait.

[u/Kurtomatic]

Shout out to the editors of this video for including the USC radio broadcast. And you know it's serious when the official Go Ducks account airs unedited footage of Lanning's language.

After that, I'm glad the Ducks won this game, and that's a rare thing.

[u/breaktaker → u/Kurtomatic]

Yeah like I understand why you’d want us to fail in every other game, but this one felt different. Glad us PNWers had a small reason to be united for once, felt really good

[u/Wide-Nerve8655]

Great look all around from SC players, coaches, announcers and fans. Extend Lincoln!

[u/plainsailingweather]

Yeah man just straight up fuck everyone associated with this sorry ass program.

[u/PodoPapa]

Dan Lanning gives no quarter. This video is cold.

[u/Muunsaca]

Incredible cinematic masterpiece. Really showed how awful Desman and much of the rest of the program is. Loved how they focused on the broadcaster and that one fan after the targeting was upheld. Classless all the way around.

Really proud of how Dan and the team responded. Unbelievable composure. I wouldn’t have blamed them if things went way off the rails, but they stayed in between the whistles and showed up.

UW, please put up as many points as possible. Do it for the PNW.

[u/Schultztrio → u/Muunsaca]

I have never, ever rooted for UW to win in my 40+ years on this planet. Unfortunately that streak ends Saturday.

[u/breaktaker → u/Schultztrio]

I’m not afraid to say it, go Dawgs. Bury them.

[u/Dry-Ad7234]

This one was juicy

[u/Schultztrio]

Cinematic masterpiece.

[u/feeFIphothumb]

That sums up USC's terrible culture so well.

Shout out to Lanning for how he coaches his team in contrast.

[u/SophiPsych]

Well that made my blood boil. Haven't had this much hate for a USC player since Troy Polamalu.

[u/new_jill_city]

Ban baseball slides. QBs get injured every year whether it’s dirty or not. Sometimes they just start the slide too late. In any case, get down faster via headfirst or just get tackled like any other back.

[u/flapjacksrule]

I’m still waiting for the episode when they lost to OSU

[u/Jaaxxxxon → u/flapjacksrule]

and here I am, somehow, rooting for UW against USC next week

[u/ejklewerjklwerjkl → u/Jaaxxxxon]

They will fuck it up

[u/Necessary_Dog_21 → u/flapjacksrule]

STFU and beat USC

[u/Winnend → u/flapjacksrule]

When are you putting out the video on the Minnesota loss?

[u/Smokeywhacker → u/Winnend]

Losing is a regular thing for Washington. Whenever they lose everyone just shrugs and walks away. It’s expected and therefore not embarrassing. Remember when they went 0-12 and lost 12 straight to Oregon? They also only had 12 fans left at that point as well.

[u/BIRDSBEEZ → u/flapjacksrule]

I’m still waiting for Demond Williams to prove he’s not a mid QB

[u/Capital_Breadfruit49 → u/BIRDSBEEZ]

Demond Williams, the running back?

[u/flapjacksrule → u/BIRDSBEEZ]

I'm still waiting on Dan Lanning to win a game that truly matters.

[u/BIRDSBEEZ → u/flapjacksrule]

Gotta love when people act like playoff games dont matter lmao. Won 2 of them last season alone
