I ran a picture of Richard Nixon at the 1969 Rose Bow but forgot about this picture of President Warren Harding (center) at the 1923 Rose Bowl between USC and Penn State. The Trojans defeated the Nittany Lions, 14-3. OK, so Harding is universally considered one of the worst Presidents in U.S. history, but that is beside the point. Next to Harding is USC president Rufus von KleinSmid, who had his own issues that few discuss today.
Mcknight shooter is booked for manslaughter. Hard to see a conviction in Louisiana. The charge is probably based on the 3 tap excess vs needing only 1 shot to stop the perceived threat.
Yes Louisiana is still recovering for a century of corrupt racist Democrat one party rule with Cokie Roberts Boggs family, Edwin Edwards and the Landrieu Dynasty of New Orleans.
And the likes of School Bus Nagin
Anything to throw mud on the fact that USC is going to the Rose Bowl. Why don’t you go get Jill Stein and have a recount of the CFPC and try to get their decision reversed?
uhh…I think he was throwing mud in the face of institutionalized racism. Do you know what that is?
USC definitely has a checkered political past. It’s a shame that one of the most important buildings in campus is name after the former President. Might be time to reverse that.
I know exactly what that is. I come from mixed race parents and my mother who has been a educator/administrator sees it everyday. Now if you want to give me your definition be my guest. What Wolf is doing, as usual, is digging up dirt on someone or something associated with USC. Why? Because, like the bleeding heart liberals out there who cannot deal with Trump winning the Presidency, Wolf cannot fathom the fact that USC has had a pretty successful football season and is going to the Rose Bowl. So, some how, some way, he’s going to take every turn and diminish our great university and it’s accomplishments by any means necessary.
SW, all the libt*rds and little gutty Trolls everywhere are all twisting in wind, unable to accept the state of events as you describe. Too bad for them. I don’t think they’re gonna like the Supreme Court, just for starters.
Exactly what issues did KleinSmid have? The wiki entry you linked to mentions nothing out of the ordinary.
RIP Rashaan Salaaam! #cuheismanwinner PA at 42
After the beating he took this year that is good decision.
Could WSU’s RSJR QB Luke Falk be next???
gogoboytroy can’t answer that question. She can’t read it or understand it…
Hey. awful has a new handle!
After the trashing he took it would make sense to at least get paid for it next year.
I see they have another commit that is bigger, stronger, and faster. Stanford loves those big running backs.
Rashaan Salaam was big and deceptively fast and ran for 2000+ yards in a season One of my favorites on Madden back in the day. That’s too young. RIP
You used Wiki?
What kind of journalism is this…..oh, I forgot, it’s wolf.
One of the worst? Oh yeah that old ‘demokratiche’ screeching.
I swore the worst we’d ever had was ‘Jimmah’ that is until Prez. Kool Daddio showed up….<46 days and counting.
I need =no I got to play some golf!
Says the fan of St. Pat’s School.
Obuma has so far spent $85 million dollars taking Air Force One around like it is his personal schister sled. There should be a limit on how much you can spend riding in that thing
Have you not yet realized that EVERY president flies AF One wherever he goes, whenever he goes, on presidential business? Seriously, you’re not that stupid….are you?
Could Obama not take it to the furthest State away from White House on his vacations. Then when urgent business called, he didn’t cancel his vacation, he interrupted it, with a flight to DC and back. He needed to get back to the islands to hang with his high school buddy and resume their golf playing. No President has come to Hollywood or Hawaii like O’bummer did
MTKayak, you are completely VOID of reason and logic. Y’all must be a Deplorable…
And you must be a kneepad wearing Clinton intern.
First off, calling people stupid will not solve the issue. Obuma ABUSED the privilege of Air Force One by making phony diplomatic runs which had no rhyme or reason to traveling except for his vacations which he wanted. Now, let us take it a step further, he came down hard in the executives using a private jet, yet no one has shown the Carbon Footprint that he laid out by using AFO. The schister is a HIPOCYRITE. He should be charged for the vacations he ran. Obuma is the WORST President of all time.
Thank God Obama is soon out of here and the libt*rds are scurrying about wondering how to resurrect the now dead democratic party, sunk by Crooked Hillary.
Gonna be a fun four years.
But not every president lectured us about the danger of global warmism while adding a huge carbon footprint.
BEAT Penn State
or State Penn.
Yikes! I never knew he advocated eugenics.
They should have used eugenics for journalists. Or bloggers.
What are you babbling about now, kitten?
You never knew America was crazy-cuckoo racist?! Wow…
Watch the documentary “Against The Tide” for a lil’ taste of it.
President Harding is not universally considered to be one of the worst Presidents in U.S. History. Only in Fractious Hopelessly Bias Liberal Authored History Books are competent honorable Presidents smeared while corrupt incompetent Politicians (i.e. the Clinton’s, FDR, ) receive praise and adoration. SW, may your misguided comments with regard to USA Political History remain forever hidden.
Harding entered the White House during dire times. There was much to do and in terms of positive achievements, the Harding Administration had more than many. His record is clearly tainted by the corruption of some of his cabinet appointees, but to claim that he was one of the worst presidents is simply ignorant. We could say that his predecessor, Thomas Woodrow Wilson was among the most destructive US presidents. His failure at the Versailles treaty conference lost the peace after WWI, which led to Hitler and WW II, and his racist policies against Black Americans set us back several decades.
You’re too smart for this blog
I agree that Harding is not universally considered a bad president. Andrew Johnson is, but Harding is not. However, your declaration of Clinton and FDR as incompetent and corrupt rings very much like the pot calling the kettle black.
Getting a hummer in the Oval Office by an intern would rank as what?
It would rank as a gold digging intern taking it on her frock for the rotten rightwingnuts who paid her for it… That’s what they do so well to this day: pay-to-play scandal!!
I’m surprised you’re not out protesting Shillary’s loss
Really? Your tired old carcass is still capable of surprise?
If you have followed USC since 1966 as you claim you are old and tired yourself.
No they are out recounting votes and threatening electoral college voters.
The daughter of affluence who grew up in Brentwood is now a gold digger according to deluded Clinton interns.
Be careful with that argument. Harding had his own list of mistresses.
Was he Tonya Harding’s Grandfather by any chance?
Exactly. Harding might be in the middle but not towards the worst presidents. There are at least 12-15 worse than Harding, starting with Obama as the WORST ever!
Obama, Carter 1,2 ad worst or vice versa
Let’s not forget Jimmy Peanut! Until our current sitting emperor came along, Carter set the standard for incompetency.
What about Nixon? He is the only president ever to resign from office. Where do you rank him?
SW and the ucla little gutty libt*rds are in hell and have been for awhile now. Trump’s in the Presidency, USC’s the College Cup Soccer Champs and the Trojans are also headed back home to where we belong – the Rose Bowl in January.
Nothing could be finer than to be laughing at a ucla whiner, all day looooonnnnngg.
Jack B choking on her own vomit.
WHAT IS THE POINT…JUST BEING TACKY???
So USC will have played Penn St in the Rose Bowl during the tenure of TWO of the worst US presidents. Actually one (Harding) not all that bad and then one (Barry) actually the absolute worst ever in American history.
Bend over… your bunghole might be able to answer that for you, idjut.

Was St. Pat an experiment gone wrong?
I’m quickly losing my focus….Remind me again what time do UCLA and Notre Dame’s Bowl Games kick off?
roflmao!!
They never showed. Tail between legs whimpering exits.
Womping on UW, then ucla, then ND, all in a row was a masterful stroke. Rose Bowl here we come!
For which year or decade?
Stole my thunder.
I was going to say that SUCLA and Neuter Dame have a chance at 2017 bowls because 50-50 records get you in.
You can take the credit. Lol
This was the first of 797 games attended by “superfan” Giles Pellerin, imagine that. Fight on!
Harding was barely president for 2 years before he had a heart attack. Yes, his appointees were on the take, but not Harding. And, yes, it was Post World War I, times were tough, and so he did what most Republicans do– he reduced taxes and reduced the influx of immigrants.
Oh, and by the way, Harding formed his own successful newspaper business. No wonder Wolf hates him
Rufus Von Kleinsmid, although I do not know the history, probably was a racist, which was the norm back in the day. Not that it makes it right, but even Mark Twain, certainly no racist, used the “N” word quite liberally in his writings. And blacks use it constantly in today’s America.
You don’t knowshit.
I would suggest you go to the Scout USC site USCFOOTBALL [dot] COM. This site is not what you may think. This won’t end well.
