Southern Cal Monday


I apologize for the delay, but I'm just so jacked and pumped. 

Former Southern Cal coach Pete Carroll hobnobbing with
the Hollywood elite.


About this week's game that I had to go for a walk around downtown to curtail my excitement.

We are less than a week from the tilt against Southern Cal.  Now, last week I mentioned famous athletes Todd Marinovich and O.J. Simpson.  But don't get to angry at USC for spawning such alumni: not all Southern Cal athletes are thugs and criminals.  Take for example Reginald Bush, who once won the 2005 Heisman Trophy:
  My, Mr. Bush, what a fine suit you have!  And what giant diamond earrings you have!  And what a nice $750,000 house your family has on a public servant's salary!

  Surely you haven't signed with an agent, or violated any NCAA rules, have you?  No?  Oh wait . . .
 

  The man in the bolo tie, seen above with James Brown, gave your family a $750,000 house, and paid you a $100,000 advance, just so you would sign with his budding athletic talent management firm.  But you denied this, even when he recorded conversations with you revealing the conspiracy.  And as for the end result, well, there was this:

2 year bowl ban.  4 years probation.  30 lost scholarships.  Forfeiture of an entire year's worth of games.  In short, the worst penalty the NCAA has dealt out over violations in football since 1994.  The NCAA certainly taught Southern Cal a lesson to stay on the straight and narrow.  Right?  


But that, my friends, is another story for another day.  Until then, Go Irish. 

Also, the forecast for Saturday night is 38 degrees.
