Big Bill to share his coach

There's no quote quite like a Bogaard quote -- this one taken from a news release today about PUSD Supe Edwin Diaz invited to a Jan. 1 ride-along in the Mayormobile:

“Superintendent Diaz is approaching his first anniversary providing exceptional leadership to Pasadena’s public schools, and the relationship between the city and the district is stronger than ever before,” said Bogaard. “I want the knowledge of this important relationship to be transmitted across the country and around the world.”

Cheer up, PUSD! That's totally better than an invitation to reach into the cookie jar.

Flirtation or commitment?

USC Athletic Director Mike Garrett writes to the fans today.

Dear Fellow Trojan:

It gives me no pleasure to write a letter of this kind, but there are issues facing our university that you need to understand. The University of Southern California has been negotiating diligently for months, trying to renew USC’s lease with the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, and trying to get guarantees that USC’s football team and fans can enjoy home games in a completely renovated and improved stadium.

Of course our beloved Rose Bowl is probably just being played to wedge concessions from the Coliseum, despite USC's Dickey assurances to me -- with deadpan sincerity -- the deal was go from their side and only depended on Pasadena approval.
