thread hijack: Arv? I think thats the first USC board I ever came in contact with. 1996 ? That was incredible. Didn’t have to wait for the la times anymore? I forget how long I have been on this board, might have been around 1998 or so. how time flies.
Arb is where everyone started. And he didn’t even care enough to maintain it. So we all went everywhere else. I also was on the pac 10 Usenet group where I met Al these neat people from other schools
The chart posted below is very useful. When the team reaches Lindisfarne (Las Vegas) some men may fall, but the pillaging will be epic. The SEC powers treat SC as outsiders and usurpers. Let them fear SC. T'is good.Lindisfarne marks the beginning of the viking raids from Kiev to Paris and everywhere in between.
The year 793 is normally seen by scholars as the dawn of the “Viking Age” in Europe, a time of wide-ranging pillaging, conquest and empire building by the fierce warriors of the north.
The turning point came on 8 June of that year when the Vikings launched an attack on the wealthy and unprotected monastery-island of Lindisfarne.
Presumably some of the monks of Lindisfarne tried to resist, or to prevent the seizure of their books and treasure, for Alcuin confirms that they met a grisly end:
“Never before has such terror appeared in Britain as we have now suffered from a pagan race … The heathens poured out the blood of saints around the altar, and trampled on the bodies of saints in the temple of God, like dung in the streets.”
We know less today about the fate of the Vikings but it is unlikely that the thin, cold and untrained monks could have caused them much harm. For the Northmen, the raid was most significant in that it set a precedent, showing them and their eager companions back home that wealth, slaves and glory were to be found across the sea.
In the coming centuries, the Vikings would raid as far as Kiev, Constantinople, Paris and most coastal places in between. But England and Northumbria would suffer in particular.
The latter ceased to exist in 866 when it fell to an army of Danes, and many place names along the north-east coast of England (such as York and Skegness) still show the marked effect of their rule, which lasted in York until 957.
Norse rule of the islands of Scotland would continue for much longer, with native speakers of Norwegian in Scotland lasting well into the 18th century. The attack on Lindisfarne started an era that played an immense role in shaping the culture of the British Isles and much of mainland Europe. https://www.historyhit.com/what-was-the-significance-of-the-viking-attack-on-lindisfarne/
Looking back. Little surprised they took Haskins and Blackmon with just one year. I guess when you’re desperate you do that. haskins didn’t really work out. Blackmon did. I didn’t realize two of usc db staters were ok transfers. Didn’t realize both Blackmon and mc cutcheon were. I had thought one was from colorado
