yet Pete was not sloppy and an evil genius for a reason. [img]http://lakerscorner..../peace.gif[/img]

Sorry but Pete was sloppy and geniuses do not lose games at home when they are favored by 49 points. This shit was out there for anyone with a brain to see. It was a circus like atomoshere and Petey was the ringleader. Not all that much different than what went on at Miami.

I hate the man and am glad I don't have to see his smug face on the Trojan sideline again.
Let's see how he does on an even playing field.

Hate is not a strong enough word for me. I love that Harbaugh ran up the score on him and this fucking hypocrite could not take it. I hope Seattle goes 2-14 this year. I also love that a few of his ex-players saw threw his phoniness and now hate him too. Mark Sanchez and Travis Mayes come to mind.

Any idea as to why Garrett has yet to be fired?

Now that Petey is gone, he`s (Harbaugh)going to have to do it to the other cheater across town.

Ha Ha I fucked up. He played like shit last year anyways.
I think Garrett is still around because USC is still in shock and denial.I doubt that he is around much longer.

Ex-cheater. He has done nothing wrong at UCLA yet that I am aware of. I doubt that he ever does anything to embarass his alma-mater.

Why is USC waiting to fire bumbling athletic director Mike Garrett?


"I read between the lines and there was nothing but a lot of envy, and they wish they all were Trojans. As I told my staff, I said, 'You know, I feel invigorated by all this stuff ... with the penalty we got today I know we're bigger than life."
-- USC athletic director Mike Garrett last week, after the NCAA Committee on Infractions whacked the Trojans, according to the Los Angeles Times.

*****

This is Mike Garrett's world, and nobody else is living in it. In Garrett's world, all logic is circular: USC is never wrong, therefore USC is never wrong.

Nobody else is buying the denials anymore. Nobody else is buying the delusions. USC went on a cheating spree, got caught and got sentenced, and Garrett is still playing the victim.

Judging from the way he has handled this USC scandal from the beginning, Garrett seems like the kind of guy who would sucker-punch you in a dark alley, then sue your face.

USC should have fired Garrett long ago, but the delay is getting absurd. What is USC waiting for? Yeah, sure, canning the AD five months after letting him hire a football coach is embarrassing. But is it really more embarrassing than letting Garrett puff his chest up when he should be hanging his head?

If USC cares even a whit about its image, or about responsibility -- and I don't mean USC athletics, I mean the University of Southern California -- then the choice is obvious.

Garrett was on the verge of getting fired when he miraculosly pulled Pete Carroll out of his hat. No suprise that he let the shit go on that he did because it saved his job. Pete Carroll had little to lose either. He had just been fired from NFL and was going to be hard pressed to get another NFL job with his mediocre record. Why not cheat a little bit? SC football was in the dumps when he took over with no place to go but up after a decade of talented Trojan teams fell on their faces led by Smith, Hackett,ect. A little bit of cheating went a long way for Pete and made Garrett look like a genius for awhile. In the end Pete resurrected his stature to the point where he was turning down NFL jobs until he knew it was time to get out before the hammer came down. In the end he won and got himself millions of dollars which he will still have no matter what he does in Seattle. When he took the Seahawk job i knew the hammer was coming down on USC. He does not leave a very talented team and his boycrush Barkley unless there is something wrong in paradise. Especially for the shipwreck that is Seahawk football.

Bush vows to support USC's appeal

METAIRIE, La. -- Reggie Bush says the NCAA's punishment of USC feels like "the closest thing to death without dying" and that he will fully support USC's appeal of the sanctions.

Bush spoke publicly about the punishment for the first time Wednesday at the New Orleans Saints' training headquarters. The NCAA sanctions include a two-year bowl ban and a loss of 30 scholarships during a three-year period.

It is not yet clear whether Bush will lose his 2005 Heisman Trophy, but USC has also been stripped of victories from late 2004 through the 2005 season -- a period that included a national championship victory over Oklahoma.

Bush would not address specific allegations of his wrongdoings, but says he has no fear of losing his Heisman and that he will make the best out of whatever happens.

[Shal]

Is he fucking joking? This dude is banging Kim, just won a superbowl ring, and some stupid team is about to overpay this a-hole! This dude could give 2 flying fucks about his Heisman and USC! And I don`t give a shit what anyone say`s, they all new what was happening with this cocksucker.

[EOG]

from Twitter ( i agree by the way)

SPORTSbyBROOKS    Member of main USC Athletics Advisory Board on NCAA Penalties: "It's ludicrous to say USC was cheating." http://bit.ly/dbnKqp

SPORTSbyBROOKS    More from member of main USC Athletics Advisory Board on NCAA Penalties: "There's a difference between cheating and breaking the rules."

[Juan23]

Of course someone would say that from that Cheating school ....fuck them all !clean it up already and make Garret kick rocks!

[EOG]

Garrett does need to resign/be fired/or come to a mutually agreed upon termination. time for him to go. he's been one lucky SOB over the years but needs to get out and help restore the pride back at SC.

[Kyle]

I don't know who the president of USC is, but they need to clean house in the athletic department. There are some dillusional idiots running that department. Firing people even partly responsible for this mess would be a good step in getting back in the good graces of the NCAA.

Sad thing is he is absolutely serious and so are the rest of these jokers trying to cover things up and make themselves look good.

an interesting twist...

Document Drop: NCAA Botched USC Investigation

After its football program was buried thanks to four years of damning media reports of impropriety perpetrated by Reggie Bush, USC is finally fighting back against the NCAA via its own media leaks.

Late Thursday Dan Weber and Bryan Fischer of USC Rivals site USCFootball.com published a report attributed to unreleased NCAA investigative documents that indicates the NCAA had very little, if any indisputable proof that a USC representative had direct knowledge that Bush received improper while a student at the school. (The NCAA investigative documents would normally be accessible to the media but as the NCAA and USC are private institutions, respective Freedom of Information Acts are not applicable.)

Those newly-leaked NCAA investigative documents, which were part of the “workbook” used by the NCAA’s Committee On Infractions to prove its case against USC, show the NCAA made crucial errors in attempting to pin down a direct connection between USC assistant football coach Todd McNair and sports marketing agent Lloyd Lake. Lake was one of the men who provided Bush with up to $300,000 worth of improper benefits.

McNair’s alleged direct knowledge of Bush’s improper benefits is the central piece of evidence cited by the NCAA as justification for the harsh penalties doled out to the USC football program.

The NCAA does not need to prove anything. It is not a court of law where you have any sort of rights to protect. The NCAA is a voluntarily joined organization that USC willingly joined and if they don’t like the ruling they can quit or form their on organization. This is the same thing that happen to Alabama several years ago. The NCAA had no proof only the word of people who stood to gain if Alabama was punished. Get used to it USC and learn your place as a lap dog of the NCAA.

[EOG]

yeah, still the NCAA over did it based on weak evidence. sanctions yes, but to this extent? i think the committee is made up of former Irish/UCLA/Stanford alumnus.
