    From what I’ve seen, they just play a different game than other major schools. They make their bones on the academic side, and the success on the athletic side is a bonus (think Vanderbilt but with good athletics). Despite an endowment in the multiple $10’s of billions, they cut like 11 (IIRC) sports a couple of years ago. I believe football is the only non money-losing sport. Alumni will donate to endow sports, but it’s not a rabid fan base from what I’ve seen, I’m probably way off

    Government administrator speak for “we’ll say it’s a smaller amount, but plan on taking the hit for the big number”. Especially after the PAC’s TV deal winds up being rubbish

    I hesitate to include Stanford since they do excel at Olympic sports and punch above their weight in football and basketball. So they do take pride in their athletics, they just want to do it their way. But Kal, yeah screw them

    The fact they made the move to the B1G shows they do. I’m not going to get into bashing them for the rivalry’s sake, but in basketball they are a blue-blood for sure. USC on the other hand, not so much. Football, they hold their own (pun intended). Other sports they are a force. I had heard that the academic side was at odds with athletic side, but that’s to be expected.

    That is fucked up for the bruins. Why should they have to “make Kal whole” because their athletics suck and the administration could not possibly care less about sports? You want to play with the big boys, you had better be able to ante up. Otherwise do what UC Davis and the others schools do and join a lower conference. And shaking ucla down for “resources related to mental well-being and nutrition”… seriously?

    That was from The Dance session. The youngsters got to perform. Us old timers had to make due with the original recording/video & playing with them in concert in L.A.. Back on topic, she was way underrated as an artist. Like someone said unthread, she could convey the message of the song without vocal gymnastics

    No, I never did the DCI thing, I was working pretty much full time to pay for school, so not a lot of spare time. I really enjoy watching DCI & other corps competitions, most of those units are awesome. I can honestly say I probably wasn’t good enough back then.

    Well shit, this just sucks!! She was a very cool lady, very gracious to us in the USC Band. To be honest I much preferred Christine to Stevie Nicks, both in voice and looks. Glad to say I got to perform with her twice. Absolutely gutted…

    Prayers for you, your dad, and your family. After the initial gut-punch wears off, do all you can to remind him you love him… never miss a chance to tell him. May God bless you

    Yeah I am ass-clown, and make all the inane generalizations you like, check the videos for a common denominator. Unless you grew up and lived in L.A. dealing with lunatic “fans”, learn before you speak

    L.A. fans for the most part, are trash. It’s not specific to one team or school, it’s the “demographic” to be politically correct (which my heritage makes me a member of, so stow the “that’s racist BS). They can’t go to a game to watch and root for their team, they have to “represent esé”. I had coworkers who were middle-aged, seemingly normal guys go to a Los Doyers or Laker game and act like complete hood rats. Then went into the office the next day and joked about how they “ran that place”. Some people just don’t know how to act in public. Unfortunately, USC & UCLA get the t-shirt alumni flow-down, depending on who has the better season.

    Google “Steve Sarkisian bar tab”, there are links to an LA Times articles on his exploits. Dude liked his Patron. Hopefully he has addressed those demons, how much that was a part of Seven Win Steve remains to be seen. Personally, I think he moved into the blue-blood head coaching ranks too fast. He may be an offensive savant, but C-level management is a different skill set. He should have made his bones at an FCS program, then move to the big time.

    Just give the players skirts and play flag football and be done with it… both targeting calls were bullshit.

    You assholes are amazing… all the respects OU SUCKS

    Wow, and the gooners say that Riley is soft…

    Dealing with the Rose Bowl operators and the locals is a walk in the park compared to dealing with the Westwood/Brentwood/Bel Air crowd
  21. USC_TMB
    He was hired because we were dealing with the nzaa sanctions and no big name would want the gig. And being a HC at a major program like Washington and the Raiders should prepare you to NOT show up to the biggest pre-season BMD rally drunk off your ass, let alone sue the school because you’re a screw-up
  22. USC_TMB
    Exactly, you’re preaching to the choir
  23. USC_TMB
    Which may be the problem, he keeps getting head coaching gigs at major programs without having developed his jobs at less high-profile stops. Going from a QB coach at USC to head coach with the Raiders? His stop at Alabama should have taught him about assembling a staff, which he could have worked on at a smaller program. Going straight to HC at Texas can end one of two ways

    You think you are joking…

    I don’t think UCLA has the land available on or near campus., hence the Rose Bowl
