You know what I didn't realize at the time is a really good blessing, is that I was a really crappy player.
People's perception changes so fast. You win, and people say, 'Well, he had all of those sanctions at USC, and that's why he lost.' You lose, and, 'OK, he's a bad head coach, and he's just a good play-caller wherever he has been.'
As far as the bowl games, I don't think the players really play for that. Not at USC.
I think I was 24 when I went to USC with Pete Carroll. Pete believed in people and never worried about their age. I learned that from him.
I have a 'Golden Tee' machine in my house.
I don't know if God is a sports fan or not, but I do know this: He loves a good comeback.
