And take a look at that URL.
In large part, this is the LA Times beat writer preaching to the faithful, but in the end it is the same as Finebaum, Danielson, ESECPN, and the rest of them. When the available bandwidth is filled with propaganda, there isn't room for anything else.
What is the story? SC has Donte, SC is working hard, SC realized its recruiting operation was a dumpster fire, so the guy who poured the gasoline into the dumpster and tossed a match found some scapegoats and made some big changes, including adopting basic modern things like graphics and social media. That's enough. Order will be restored.
Oh, there's one more thing. Mighty SC will benefit because the pandemic will make it harder for players to leave southern California.
The story left out, SC will lose by 40 to Alabama to start the season, SC's coach is going to be fired, Urban is not coming, and things have changed in the Pac 12 and elsewhere.
Many people think SC is "supposed" to dominate. So if seemingly supportive "evidence" appears, people lap it up.
Funny that the most positive factor for SC might be the cancellation of the season. If it is cancelled, those claiming SC has emulated UW and is "back" won't have to confront the reality of a blowout loss to Alabama, plus at Stanford, ASU, at Utah the rest of September (after a game against New Mexico).
