A question about conference expansion highlights this segment.
Q: uscmike said:
Do we really want four more teams in the Pac-12? Thoughts?
A: I personally do not really like the idea of 16 teams because it is going to create situations where you barely see some conference opponents and it dilutes rivalries. I also worry about some of the political implications. I’ve already heard stories of Texas and/or Oklahoma making demands about what conference they would be in, etc.
So it will be interesting to see the exact terms under which these schools enter the conference.

What are the odds of SC landing Shaq Thompson?
A: I still think Cal is the frontrunner, where he committed originally, because of its proximity to Sacramento. But USC remains in the mix. If he remains open through January I think USC will have a good shot because it means he is looking for something that Cal at that point.

can you confirm that Pat Haden spends more days out of the office than at heritage hall and refuses to take an active role in mentoring student athletes
A: I know he spends time out of the office because he is fundraising. That is a top priority for him especially when only 65,000 show up at football games. I don’t know about the student mentoring but the A.D. is pretty busy. I have seen him meet with athletes and I know he adopts certain sports to follow them closely.

You seem to write about Abe Markowitz being ready to play, like he is the answer to the problem at guard. As a former walk-on center in 2008, who played only “briefly” vs. SJSU in 2009… what’s the deal? Can he apply for a medical red-shirt year for 2010 injuries? Possibly three more years as a C/G?
A: I have never said or implied he was the answer. I would say the coaches seem to act like he would start if he were healthy. If he does play there are no guarantees he is any better than Jeremy Galten or Marcus Martin or Martin Coleman. I’m not sure if he can apply for a medical redshirt. But with scholarship reductions, USC will probably want that back ASAP.
Looks like somebody forgot to open a new file when taking notes on the LK press conference today. Interesting process — bored by the press conference? Just bang out some forum answers. If something mildly interesting happens to break through your conscious mind, go ahead and jot it right down!
And now it’s gone. Looks like someone DOES read the comments after all.
Oh ho, look just rolled across the ESPN ticker…. USC receives notice of allegations from the NCAA for improper athlete benefits from BOOSTERS!! In other words, DEATH PENALTY!!!!!! You dummies are so done, you couldn’t stop cheating even after the NCAA nailed you for the last round of paying players.
Enjoy club football, losers!!
nice work Ex-cop–I’m not sure what your’re referring to–but it sounds like top flight detective work.
I don’t know who you are, but one thing I am sure of….you’re not Jethro Sabbath!
Right NZeroBS. Dope.
University of South Carolina. hahahaha DynoDick
Geezus Louise! NOBS must sit on his computer ALL DAY LONG just looking for responses to his crappy posts!
a response within 3mins?????
Ladies and Gents that is a new “got no life” record!!
In fact, I noticed a response to ZeroNObs yesterday (on a Sunday Mind you) within 4 mins!
NOBS I thought you had such a busy social life in Newport Beach? It appears more likely that rather than doing the Lido Shuffle you do the IE Hustle! Don’t tell me…you’re home mooching off workman’s comp?
UCLOL (What?)Dynasty,
In your jealous rush to mock us you neglected to do your homework, as NOBS said above, it’s South Carolina, you loser!
NZeroBs, just wanted to prove you are Prof Slob. Mission accomplished JBoy.
Does anyone have suggestions for better USC football blobs than this dump? NOBS, Monopoly, ThaiMex, UCLA Fantasy, bRUINslob, “Count,” etc etc etc post the most pathetic, ridiculous, idiotic garbage day after day hour after hour. I like reading/commenting about SC football but this childish BS is nuts. How can these dweebs spend so much time waiting for such stupid comments just to respond with something even stupider? are these high school kids?
Conquest chronicles? Haven’t been much, guess I’ll make my way over. Friken geeks.
Ex-Cop, what forbidden secrets did you glimpse? Was there a bald guy in a soccer jersey behind the curtain?
By the way, Brother NOBS, you can tell from your impostor’s relatively error-free typing and spelling that, whoever he may be, he is not BruinRob.
WEB: shut up your mouth! I am NOBS! Just without the bigotry, pedophilia, bestiality and Wedge based surfer boy fantasies!

ZeroNObs

Also, Pat Haden never works his shift at the ice cream machine at Galen Center, the slacker. He should be fired immediately.
