USC athletic director Pat Haden spoke about the hiring of Frank Cruz as baseball coach:
“Frank Cruz is the kind of person we want working in the athletic department. He is a man of high character and integrity. As the season went along, the team played better. We finished seventh in the conference as opposed to 10th a year ago. If you look at the statistics, there was empirical proof that we were improving. The parents and kids love him. It is going to take us a while to get there since he inherited an awkward roster, but we think we have the right guy for the job. He is intent on proving us right.”

We’re intent on watching Frank Cruz prove what you know, Pat Haden, when you could have brought in any number of better qualified coaches who would probably take a shorter time to build the program up. But then you would have a coach that might not ooodle over you like Frank will.
dtksr1 = NOBS, count on it.
If Marc Tyler had been a Baseball Player, Coach Cruz would have shown him the door. Kiffy and Tyler are both Skanks.
Viva Coach Cruz!
does this sound familiar??:
USC is vying for their second straight Baseball national Champeenship! Meanwhile, the USC Football team features a Heisman candidate sophmore running back and they are expected to be in a BCS game and are considered contenders for the Natl Champeeship!!
no this is not the 1970’s, i am refering to the REAL USC, the South Carolina Gamecocks!!!
as for our beat-up & broken-down Southern Cal, they will endure the second of many Bowl-less seasons and they have not been in a CWS in over a decade!!!
the Gamecocks should sue to make Southern Cal change it’s name to Yesterday U!!!
oh, i feel so vainglorious!!!!
AUUUUUUU-WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
wow it’s people like son of charlie bucket who really scare me..is this guy employed? off his meds or something and sits at home? I mean, if you don’t like USC then go someplace else. Plenty of ND or UCLA boards to go on and talk about 1987 or something..whenever it was the last time ND or UCLA had a good football team. But this person chooses to continue to sit on here and (attempt to) annoy people with dumb posts. wow..what a life! haha..sit on a USC board all day, post dumb crap and make everyone angry..millions of things to do on this earth but he decides on this..scary…
goo goo, let’s all kiss Haden’s @$$, like YOU are, and go for second fiddle. Come on, even you know this is BS for USC standards.
Chucker..thanks for telling us how it really is. The University of Stupid Cheaters (fig Tech) should never be confused with The very fine University of South Carolina. What is up with everyone at South Central? There must be some sort of LIAR”S oath/pledge that everyone must take. Reggie lied, Petey Lied, Floyd Lied, O.J. (both dumb bastards) Lied, Sanchez (Dirty Mark) Lied, McKnight LIED, Ting 1 and Ting 2 (They sound like Dr. Seuzz characters) LIED, O’Neil (says he doesn’t have a drinking problem) is a LIAR, Kiffy is a BIGGER LIAR, Dillon Baxter TOOK THE OATH!
Southern Cal needs to do away with the Horse and Jockey “themed” thing and have one of their guys see if they can cut a deal with Disney and that Pinocchio guy. Nubsie (ol’splinter lips) will be soooo excited!
SPIT ON, LIMBO U!
Curses Por Vida!
Thai: stellar stuff!! what would the cursed trOXan do without the Cadre to do all the brain-work around here???
“ting 1 and ting 2” oh Timex, you’ve done it AGAIN!!!
as for poor bushwhite: ok lets see, you’re angry, scared and annoyed…maybe you’re not cut out for the rough and tumble world of big time sports blogging, princess!
to toughen you up, i am sending you a free pass to the nest Preferred Plus night at Cadre HQ!! that’s a five dollar value. those gals’dll show you what fer!!!!
Just in case there is anyone left who doesn’t already know, Charlie Bucket is ThaiMex. Quite a dialogue today!
Oh, Sybil. You have gone off your meds again. Time for the white jacket with the really long sleeves.
Sure Cruz was a major improvement over Kreuter which was not too hard to accomplish. Improved six games over last year in the conference which was a big plus yet finished six games under .500 for the season getting swept three times by Rice, Fullerton and Arizona and for two game series by Irvine, UCSB,and CSULB. The last two losses at home to Wazzu by a combined 23 to 3 score was a disgrace when two victories would have put them in fourth place. That kind of shoots the theory of Haden’s comment of the team playing better at the end.
Frank Cruz can’t manage a meat market. Look at his record at Loyola. Had some talent there, too (Billy Traber, Mike Schultz). C.J. Wilson said his most miserable year in baseball was the year he spent under Cruz. Wait till next year, when Cruz reverts to his control freak form. How about his four-pitchers, four-pitches strategy vs. UCLA this year? He’s Abner Halfday. And when is Haden going to listen to some of the alums who played here and know what it really takes to get this program back on its feet?
Knuckleheads….Coach Cruz did the improbable..while you ignorant FRAT BOYs played another round of ‘Hide The Weenie” in the Sauna. What’s “mummy” going to say when she finds out “Biff”(aka Nubsie/ is the “CATCHER” in your own little sick game of “FANTASY” baseball.
GROPE ON!, Yesterday U!
You are CURSED, SCREW U and your horse!
Thai: you’re killing me!! es en lumbre, hombre!!
y este Jethro, que tiene este diablo de loco??
yo pensa que Jetho es un mariposa de El Lobo…
AUUUUU-WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Wow things are that bad at Westwood that there’s nothing better for the gutties to do then to come here and kick tires?
Hey slopespic and bucksh*t ya’ll should get a comedy show. It can be aired on the LOGO channel. I’m sure slicky Rick will be a willing guest…
