Mitch Mustain wants to be 3rd string closer


Once upon a time, Mitch Mustain was the number one high school football prospect in the country. Despite being offered scholarships from every top university, he chose to stay close to home and become an Arkansas Razorback. He was made the started his freshman year and got off to a fairly slow start passing the ball despite the team winning games. To be fair, Arkansas had both Darren McFadden and Felix Jones in the backfield so there was little need for putting the ball in the air. Midway through the season, Mustain got bench for an equally incompetent, but more experienced QB. Mustain got upset, his parents got upset, and Mustain proceeded to transfer out of the University.

Pete Carroll, always on the lookout for another 5 star recruit, got Mustain to transfer to USC, along with his Arkansas WR Damien Williams. Since then, Williams has become one of the top 5 WR in college football, and Mustain hasnt even been allowed to wear a headset or hold a clipboard. He sat behind John David Booty. Was overlooked in favor of Mark Sanchez. Was beaten out by a true freshman in Matt Barkley. And even couldnt get a spot start when barkley was out, and instead Aaron Corp got the start and proceeded to single handedly lose the game to the Washington Huskies. Let me reiterate, the top recruit in all of college football hasnt sniffed a football since getting benched as a true freshman at Arkansas. At least Matt Cassell was never expected to start in college. Mustain was to be the next great Heisman QB for the Trojans.

News reports came out today that Mustain will try to make the USC baseball team in the spring in hopes of playing something, anything. I dont know his pitching history, but i'm pretty sure his arm isnt in game shape for football, let alone baseball. And even if he does make the team, you know with his luck, he will the last guy in the bullpen, only pitching when the team is down 19-2 in the 9th inning against Arizona St.
