And the sour grapes continue...
The trojans are, as expected, really having trouble getting over their shocking Pasadena Choke. At their Awards Banquet, they refused to mention the Big Game, and they, for the first time, didn't give out an award for Best Player against UCLA.
Further proving that sc is still smarting from the Upset of the Century is their poor ticket sales for the Rose Bowl. SC Student tickets are being returned, so that Michigan fans can scoop them up. Could it end up like a Michigan Home game? That would lead to the third straight devastating Pasadena Beatdown for troy.
But proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that the pain is still lingering: The sour grapes being spewed by the Starting Tailback of the losing trojans, C.J. Gable.
It was Gable's fellow Tailback Emmanuel Moody who brought Gable's lament to light, before they were gone with the wind. Moody was immaturely rationalizing about how he was GLAD that he didn't get to play against the Bruins, because Gable said that the UCLA Defense was going for his ankles and trying to twist them.
The big question: Why hasn't some trojan booster given C.J. a HiDef Plasma, so he can see the game? There was no head-hunting, or ankle-hunting going on -- Just good solid tackling, and a scheme that anticipated most of the running plays.
The Bruins should remember Gable's accusations next year, when they try to continue The Streak, back in South Central. And when they batter Gable, Gable should thank Moody, for sharing Gable's verbal cheap shots with the World.
Gable needs to get over himself. Why would the Bruins care about twisting his ankle, when they have three more Tailbacks that are virtually interchangeable with Gable? Bruin fans barely knew who Gable was. Typical trojan delusions of grandeur. Maybe a few more humiliating losses to their Crosstown Rival will cure them for a while.
Moody was lucky he wasn't in there, but not becuase he might have gotten his ankle twisted, it's because he would have been stuffed, and HIS failure would have been repeated on SportsCenter over and over again, instead of Gable's.
