Apparent end to an era...

As of 10:30 PM Jan. 8, it appears that Pete Carroll is about to take the HC job with the Seattle Seahawks. I believe I join the majority of loyal Trojan fans who feel a deep sense of loss if Carroll leaves. What he has achieved during the past eight seasons (not counting the first year, 2001) is virtually unmatched in modern day college FB.

As a 70-year-old, who has watched SC football since 1948...this one is really tough to swallow. Sure, SC will continue to play football...and most likely, we will continue to be successful. How successful remains to be seen.

I hope I am wrong, but, IMHO, we are very unlikely to see Pete's record matched any time soon. Maybe never during the remainder of our lives.
What the man has achieved is truly unworldly...

Hopefully this will turn out to be a bad dream...but I doubt it. Fight On!!!
