My quarterback is leaving to go pro. USC Trojan Mark Sanchez is done giving it the ol’ college try. I understand wanting to make that money while he can, but since we did not play in the national championship this year — largely due to foolishness — you would think that he would come back and try to win it all before heading to the NFL. That’s the challenge of students today with so many opportunities — little heart. No need to prove the world wrong or to walk away like Matt Leinart with a championship title before going pro. I’ll take the money and run, for which I cannot blame him with this economy, and such a brutal sport. It sure would have been nice to see him rise to the challenge in college ball before going pro.

Do you blame him for leaving or you dont? If I was him i’d totally bail. They lost 1 game last year and maybe 1 the year before so that gives them a record of like 32 – 2 in the last two years? Whats the point? Go get the money. He’ll just sit the bench anyway like Leinart. He turned out to be a bust. Lost his job to a 37 year old.
