Replace the bold text with "former AD Mike Garrett" and you have a better case.

He has been fired, the best hire possible has happened, and based on the actual violation (Reggie Bush ineligible due to agent entanglements vice boosters paying a player etc), the punishment doesn't fit the crime.


What the NCAA hit USC so hard on, to my understanding, is it had the idea that USC not only looked the other way, but consciously ignored obvious red flags in certain individuals' behavior. Those $17,000 rims Reggie pimped his Impala with, for example.

Obviously, having a compliance department with one man in it wasn't such a good idea, after all.

IF USC didn't see anything, it was at least in part because they actively didn't want to.

so make up your mind. Does it date back to 03? or just recently? or hardyly ever? Next you are going to say that a game played more than 30 years ago still does not rile folks up here. Try try again Mr. Denial.


Just when I think I've seen the most over-the-top insanity I've seen you post, you go and top it. Whoda thunk you had this much BS inside that pointed cranium?

This statement was bad enough:

And you got deservedly skewered for it. But now we have:

Link? Can you point to a post made say, in the last month or so? Can you offer any evidence to back up this latest bit of BS? You must have a bottomless pit of an arse to pull things out of.

I see one or two conclusions to this. One, you try and fail to find anything and have to man up to it. Two, you hop on an alter and start something to support your insanity.

Either one would be hilarious.

As usual, you missed the boat. But you keep believing that there are rarely, if ever negative posts about USC by LSU fans on MSB or that the posts are something new.--whichever fits your argument. You've been a member for less than one year, so yeah, I guess they're new to you.

If people are talking about USC here, it's because they're in the news. And not in a good way.

That concept just can't percolate through that thick skull, can it?

But you said they're not talked about here on MSB. Make up your mind.

While you're at it, explain all the negative talk during their run and before the Bush-gate saga gained steam. Wait, you'll say (again), they're were no posts here, even though you've been signed on for less than a year.

You continually miss the point of the argument. You are on record saying LSU fans are obsessed with USC.

My point is, you're confusing "obsession" with "observation".

LSU fans were upset that USC was voted a share of the 2003 championship. They felt that the Tigers won it fair and square according to the rules that all BCS schools...including USC...agreed to prior to the season.

When the AP declared USC the champs, based on their win against an inferior Michigan team, they cried foul. And understandably so. Beating a Big Ten team in a bowl game, especially the Rose Bowl, was pretty much a given.

But all that would have been forgotten in time, especially after LSU won the BCS title...again...in 2007. Except for one thing: the Reggie Bush investigation.

USC was in the news continually for four years, as people everywhere wondered whether the hammer would fall on the Trojans and when.

You are implying that people here talk about USC for no reason whatsoever. That's wrong.

What's more, you're singling out this website unfairly. USC troubles were discussed on every team's website during that time. Check out Oklahoma/Big XII fans sites, and Alabama fan sites for evidence.

You can't get it through your head that USC is their own worst enemy in all of this, in every way.

You're just not a credible poster anymore, because you have such a warped version of reality.

I'm frankly embarrassed for you.

You seem to forget USC was #1 in the polls prior to bowls. AP has never voted #1 down after winning a bowl game against a top 5 opponeent. LSU did win the coaches poll (BCS) NC fair and square. No one has tried to diminish that. I also bet you did not kow that the BCS themselves stated that 2003 was a "split decision...with LSU winning the coaches NC and USC the AP...".

Yeah, keep believeing that. When posting about 2003, RB is rarely, if ever brought up by the faithful LSU fans.

Try and try again.

By the way, have you made up your mind yet? ARe there many posts on MSB bashing SC? I thought you said there were not. Then, since you posted that and the new threads continued, you changed your tune again.

Not including PAC-10 schools, the posts here far outnumber posts on other school's sites.

And in closing, you stil have not addressed the FACT that you have been on this site for less than a year, but comment on threads and why they were posted here long before that.

I'll just catch you on the next USC bashing thread. Wait, they never get posted here.

Once again, I'll explain as if to a child.

Cause and effect, dude. Cause and effect. No cause, no effect.

No irresponsible lack of oversight at USC, no USC posts here. Or at least a lot less, and a lot less interest.

Similarly, no lack of institutional control by the Garrett-run Heritage Hall, no almost-death penalty for your beloved Trojans.

So to sum up, USC is getting "bashed" and laughed at on fan sites all around the country. Not just this one.

These post here aren't just popping up out of thin air. They are in response to the news.

And the news ain't exactly good at USC these days.

Folks will laugh. It's all part of the fun of college football. We laugh at you too, believe it or not.

As far as the bad news at SC, I think we've had the worst of it, and it's only going to get better from here. We'll take our lumps and come out fighting.

Sill haven't made your mind I see. By the way, short of PAC-10 schools and Notre Dame, this site has, by far, the most posts about USC. I guess the USC news must only be sent into SOUth Bend, Indiana and the respective cities of PAC-10 schools.

This site has more traffic than most of, if not all of those schools. There are fans here from everywhere.

You should know that. Except you can't see the forest for the trees.

And who cares if you do or don't? If you have to go out of your way to see anything, how can you get mad at it?

That's because there are none.

As for the FUSC stickers here, you certainly do not have to go out of your way to see them. And whose mad? It's all amusing to me, as are you.

"Limited". But anyway, you stated:
quote:

Because the LSU and SEC fans aren't posting those kind of posts here on MSB. They are posting them in the Rants. That's their territory, and should be respected as such.

Let me know when you make up your mind.

Nice sig quote too. But as usual you are commenting on stuff you failed to witness.
