Memo To USC

Posted on by

The UCLA nonconference basketball schedule is out and includes the following games: Georgia Tech in Shanghai, China; two games at the Hall of Fame Classic in Kansas City against either Baylor, Creighton or Wisconsin; Michigan in Ann Arbor, Cincinnati at Pauley Pavilion and Kentucky in New Orleans.

And the Bruins are picked to be worse than USC next season. Meanwhile, Andy Enfield has cocooned USC with marquee games against Oklahoma (11-20 last year), Texas A&M (16-15 last year), SMU and perhaps Miami in the Diamond Head Classic.

  2. Most American College basketball players can do without Shanghai, Ann Arbor and New Orleans. Give me one day each week body surfing and competing at Marina Del Ray.

    • Body surfing in marina del rey?

      It’s hard to contemplate 47 taking off on a huge 5 mph boat wake ripple – One or two fins 47?

    • UCLA also has the toughest 2017 Pac – 12 FB schedule.

      Can’t wait for Oklahoma (11 – 20 LY) vs bozo u basketball game at the empty Stable Ctr. Why rent Staples Ctr. when you have Galen Barn on the urban ghetto bozo campus?

      The bozos are always laughing that UCLA rents the RB for home FB games.Well Sammy, there’s a good reason: UCLA hasn’t an on campus FB stadium.

      So Sambo, why does bozo u having the on campus Galen Barn BB pit rent Staples Ctr. for a non-essential, non-conf. home cream puff BB game? Just asking big boy.

      I bet Oklahoma is receiving U-Dub type premium payment to travel to So. Ca, and bozo u is ashamed of its crummy tomato can BB pit.

      • Squatter, who says Thug U aka ugly has the toughest fb schedule for 2017? I know, your mother told you to tell us.

        • UCLA has the toughest PAC-12 schedule based upon preseason prognostications. Washington, Stanford and USC on the road.

    • Are you predicting a Final 4 for SC this year? PAC-12 Regular Season Title? What are your expectations, Sammy?

      • This is an SC blog. I don’t go in your living room and spit on the ground. Remember that BS?

        • That is correct. I didn’t spit or mock your team. I asked your predictions. You have been over spouting on the UCLA site. What do you predict is a simple, non snarky question.

          • I don’t see it that way. You come over and talk smack. A couple of us gave you some grief and you came over here and whined about it. If you choose to dish it out, then deal with what comes back.

            I choose not to come here and troll. It’s boring and the back and forth generally goes over the same old territory again and again. You can make your own choice.

          • The King of Whiny Trolls is lecturing sas? You libs are at each other’s throats after the Comey disappointment.

          • You mean you weren’t disappointed that:

            1. Trump was never under an FBI investigation while Comey was director.

            2. Trump never asked Comey to drop the FBI probe into Russia.

            3. Trump also never asked Comey to drop the Flynn case.

            4. Comey admitted he lied for the Obama administration, which wanted to help Hillary.

            5. The New York Times got a lot of stuff really, really wrong.

            6. James Comey is a big leaking leaker who leaks.

            Not disappointed? Kissy86er is as honest as Hillary.

          • 1. The Trump campaign was under investigation, not Trump as an individual. Thanks to his stupid comments and tweets, he is now under investigation.

            2. False. He even said in his own words that’s why he fired him.
            3. False. You’re hanging on the “I hope” not being an order? LOL. Do you also believe that Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch only talked about the grandkids? You can’t have it both ways.
            4. False. Semantics and a stupid decision by Loretta Lynch.
            5. We don’t know what they got wrong. So, you believe Comey about the Times but want to forget other comments. Convenient.
            6. You sure know how to parrot Trump’s talking points. Well done!

            Why does Flynn want immunity?
            Why was Jared Kushner secretly meeting with the Russians?
            How much money did Paul Manafort receive from the Russians?
            How much money did our Commerce secretary launder for the Russians at the Cyprus Bank?
            How much money has Trump borrowed from Russians over the years when he was near bankruptcy?

            Those are just a few questions. Mueller has a lot of work to do.

          • You need to stop frequently left wing hate sites. Neo con nevertrumper Charles Krauthammer admitted tonight that the Russia conspiracy theory is dead, the Trump obstruction theory is dead and all you nitwits have left is process crimes to chase.

          • Sorry, but I don’t frequent left wing hate sites. Of course, you consider a lot of things left wing.

            Was Krauthammer just “hoping?” Sorry, but Mueller didn’t sign on for this job and hire the crew that he did just to drop it. Of course, Trump could pull a Nixon and try to fire him.

          • Sure you do, like the Clinton News Network , where one CNN employee has “beheaded” President Trump, another has called Trump a “piece of sh*t,”, the network itself has been caught on video stage-managing a protest, and they are sponsoring the nightly “assassination” of Trump in Central Park.

            The hateful CNN anchors have called for people to be raped and attacked 12-year-old girls who don’t want to be exposed to naked men. The network itself is also facing a discrimination lawsuit from upwards of 175 minorities who claim they were discriminated against in ways not seen since the Jim Crow South. That’s left wing hate, Kissy86er.

            Things got impossibly worse for your Hitler Network last Wednesday when the Comey testimony so blatantly exposed a lie the network had been pushing for days, CNN actually did something almost unprecedented … it issued a humiliating and high-profile correction of a huge story that proved to be — no surprise — a heaping pile of Fake News.

            If you recall, after waiting way too long, President Trump finally fired FBI Director James Comey on May 9. In his letter to Comey, Trump revealed that on three separate occasions Comey told him that he (Trump) was not under investigation. (Why he refused to inform the American people of this vital fact is for another day.)

            Naturally, the news that Trump is not under investigation undermined and greatly alarmed a media eager to relentlessly push their hoax to gullible libs like you and Owns about the Trump campaign colluding with Russia. And so CNN’s Gloria Borger and Jake Tapper (along with three other fake journalists) came up with a source, a single source, an anonymous source, that told the corrupt media and dopes like you and Owns exactly what you wanted to hear:
            “Comey is going to dispute the president on this point if he’s asked about it by senators, and we have to assume that he will be,” said Borger, the network’s chief political analyst. “He will say he never assured Donald Trump that he was not under investigation, that that would have been improper for him to do so.”

            Except, oops, that wasn’t even close to true. In Comey’s already-released testimony, not only does he not refute Trump, he confirms that what Trump said is 100% true. On three different occasions, January 6, January 27 and March 30, Comey told Trump he was not under investigation.

          • You have an amazing talent for only paying attention to some parts of the story and ignoring the ones you don’t like.

            At least he has accomplished almost as much as FDR!

          • You have an amazing talent to believe the Fake News Mediacrats and never lose faith in them after they let you down week after week. The only obstructer of justice we have discovered in the last 8 months is Loretta Lynch and the only fixing of an election was the DNC fixing the Democrat Primary so Hillary would win.

          • It wasn’t the fake media that recorded the disgusting suck fest at the Cabinet meeting yesterday. And it’s not surprising that you avoid certain facts. The truth will eventually come out, one way or another. There was a lot of Russian involvement which doesn’t seem to concern you or the President. There may or may not have been collusion. It doesn’t appear to matter to you.

          • The truth as you see it ?

            Don’t argue with 22, he’ll bury you with REAL facts not the made up stuff from the loony left

          • I’ve seen that. He’s an amusing little boy from an imaginary place. Anyone to the left of him (98% of America), is a shameless lib!

          • You libs aren’t amusing , Kissy86er. Violent acts are what happen when you create a climate of hate with your fake news. And it’s long past time for the Democrat’s leaders to take a stand against the hate-monger Mediacrats that influence the weak-minded like you and Owns.

          • I guess I gave you too much credit. I thought you were better than that. You are so partisan you cannot see the overall coarsening of society and politics on all sides. Was the guy that killed 2 people on the train in Portland recently a Democrat? No. He was an extremist on the right. He went after a 16 year old Muslim girl.

            What most of these extremist attackers have in common, on the left and on the right, is a distorted world view and the belief that someone else is responsible for their problems in life. I am not blaming anyone for these attacks other than the perpetrators. You can get on your soapbox all by yourself.

          • You mean quoting Paul Krugman and forcing you to live by your own words isn’t fair, Kissy86er?

          • Keep sinking lower. He supported Sanders and then Trump and I didn’t blame anyone for what he did other than him. The blame goes with the perpetrator. I guess that’s too complex for you.

            Find someone else to spew at.

          • Ummm he didn’t support Trump, Clinton intern. He voted for Bernie your socialist hero and swore to murder Trump on his Facebook page. Maybe you should actually do some research on your own instead of trusting Media Matters.

            The blame goes on you for not accepting a democratically elected leader and accusing your opponents of treason.

          • He tweeted out that he supported Trump but didn’t vote. Posted that he hated Hillary and praised Timothy McVeigh. Maybe you should do some research. He also attended an alt-right rally and was filmed doing the nazi salute. You just have a habit of presenting partial facts. This was one screwed up guy that targeted a 16 year old Muslim girl and told her to leave the country. The guy is a nut job.

          • Sure he supported Trump. That’s why he called for his Attorney General’s murder two months before Trump was even inaugurated.. He was a big preachy unstable lib Greenie like you. You really are the nut job. I wouldn’t have been surprised if you were the Alexandria Democrat Assassin.

          • You have just created a new word that describes your political expression: spew-pid.

          • You have no facts, only the lies that Media Matters feeds you. You simply can’t think for yourself. How fitting you support the school that champions Angela Davis and illegal aliens.

          • Breitbart is too liberal for you. You’re definitely an Infowars kind of guy. Alex Jones is your hero and Sandy Hook was a hoax. That’s the world you live in. You’re a fan of Timothy McVeigh.

          • You’re definitely a Clinton News Network kind of guy. Did you see the panel discussion today with special guest star Captain Obvious? The topic was, “Is the media rooting for Trump’s impeachment.”

          • It’s pretty obvious to me that the Portland killer has serious mental issues and certainly does not represent any political party or ideology.
            I’m glad I am able to recognize this and not try to lump him in with any larger cause.

          • Not sure he meets the legal definition of insane but he certainly represents his own brand of incoherent thought. We have a lot of illogical and potentially violent people in this country.

          • You represent the Hodgkinson Brand Of Democrats: deranged, bitter , evil and violent.

          • You need deprogramming. Clinton intern. The first step for you is to get rid of those knee pads.

          • He didn’t support Trump, Clinton intern. He voted for Bernie your socialist hero and swore to murder Trump on his Facebook page. Maybe you should actually do some research on your own instead of trusting Media Matters. You tried to defelect from Hodgkinson but you failed once again. You have a habit of putting your hands over your ears and shouting, “LALALALALALA!!!!!!!!!!!!” so no facts will penetrate that thick lib skull of yours.

          • Try doing actual research. Get off of Infowars and find something that resembles an actual fact.

          • Much like you, your fellow moderate Democrat Hodgkinson loved Bernie Sanders. And much like you, he could’t handle being repudiated at the ballot box

          • You mean like the digusting suck fest the Mediacrats did at Obama’s first cabinet meeting? You are such a predictable Media Matters stooge, spewing the Fake Story Of the Day. You have watched your fake story on Russia collusion collapse this last week and yet you still believe like a Mormon expecting Christ to return within the Generation of 1839 in Independence Missouri.

          • The story collapsed? There are at least 4 parts to the story, Troy.

            1. Was there collusion between Russia and Trump campaign?
            2. Did Trump attempt to obstruct justice?
            3. What was the extent of the Russian interference in the election?
            4. What are the economic and banking connections between the Trump businesses and some on his campaign with Russia?

            The last time I checked, nothing has been shut down and the facts may be a year or two away. It could go faster if Trump wanted to cooperate, but it’s obvious that he doesn’t want to cooperate which leads some of us to wonder what he is hiding.

            Sessions can’t seem to recall anything and was the greatest example of a lawyer answering questions along the lines of “it depends on what your definition of is is.”

            Try as you might, it ain’t over ’til it’s over. I don’t see a fat lady singing.

            By the way, how is the Trump suck up cabinet meeting a “fake story.” There is videotape of the wonderful event.

          • The last time you checked you had dingleberries hanging from your rear. You simply are incapable of processing any news that cointradicts your leftist cult mindset. Even Chuck Toady and The Tingler admitted the Russian conspiracy story is dead. You need deprogramming.

          • So Chuck Todd is your guy? Are you talking the conspiracy or the collusion?

            Oh, and it was just broadcast that Mueller is investigating Trump for obstruction. And you said that was dead after Comey’s testimony.

          • Chuck Toady betrayed you, Kissy86er. Even he admits this is collusion conspiracy theory is dead.

          • Here’s how:
            “And so I did what I, as a proud consumer of the mainstream liberal press, am not supposed to do. I second-guessed the mainstream liberal press. I watched the video of the cabinet meeting, all twenty-damn-five minutes of it, and I discovered that every story I had read or heard or seen that morning about the cabinet meeting was, as a whole, wrong or misleading, and in many particulars, just wrong.

            For instance: Nobody showed signs of reading from a script. Priebus’s comment was made explicitly on behalf of the “senior staff,” not the whole cabinet, as CNN implied. The Times to the contrary, no one praised Trump’s “integrity.” Neither Priebus’s sycophancy nor Pence’s set the tone of the meeting. General Mattis did not “stand alone”; the sentiment he expressed was expressed by most of his colleagues. And so on and so on and so on.

            Here’s what did happen. The meeting Monday was the first time that Donald Trump’s entire cabinet had been in one room, owing to delays in a couple of confirmations. (Democrats’ fault, said Trump.) The president gave an opening statement exaggerating his administration’s accomplishments. He mentioned initiatives begun by several of the cabinet members. Then, to “celebrate this group,” as Attorney General Jeff Sessions put it, Trump suggested they all introduce themselves, the way you do at a business conference or a group therapy session (so I hear).

            “We’ll start with Mike,” Trump said, “and just go around and [give] your name and position, and then we’ll ask these folks [the press pool] to go back and have a nice day, and we’re going to discuss our various reports,” which is one of the nicest—meaning, most un‑Trumpian—ways he could have told the press to scram.

            There was no hint from Trump that the members should praise him. The most plausible explanation for all the self-introductions was that Trump, knowing the meeting was going out live on cable TV, wanted the public to get a load of the greatest cabinet in the history of the entire solar system—and a lot of other solar systems too, some people are saying.

            Pence, who seems most himself when servile, started the praise unprompted. But he didn’t “set the tone,” as the news reports said—his obsequiousness didn’t really catch on at all. In fact, by my count, 11 of the 23 members (counting Pence) didn’t mention Trump at all. The comment from Education Secretary Betsy DeVos was typical: “It’s a privilege to serve, to serve the students of this country, and to work to ensure that every child has an equal opportunity to get a great education, and therefore a great future.”

            In a large majority of cases, when cabinet members did mention Trump, the “adulation” was all in the fevered imaginations of reporters. Tillerson: “Thank you for the honor to serve the country. It’s a great privilege you’ve given me.” (Reporter scribbles in her notebook: Suck-up!) Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross, a financial adviser worth $2.5 billion: “Mr. President, thank you for the opportunity to help fix the trade deficit and … have a chance to help you live up to your campaign promises.” (Billionaire kiss-ass.) Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats: “It’s a joy to be working with the people that I have inherited, and we are going to continue to provide you with the very best intelligence we can, so you can formulate policies to deal with these issues.” (Boot-licking toady!)

            “Their leader sat smiling, nodding his approval,” wrote the Times, but he didn’t. The footage was ill-lit, but Trump’s expression seemed to be the usual jut-jawed, slightly simian expression we’re all trying to get used to. Trump did say “thank you” a lot, as he should have, considering that nearly all of the secretaries said it was an “honor to serve”—not him, but the country, or some public or government constituency. (That’s where the NPR mashup came from, and it’s why it was thoroughly misleading. When a cabinet member says she isn’t honored to serve the public, NPR will have a genuine story.) If even a bare majority of the cabinet secretaries had adopted the tone of Priebus and Pence and Mnuchin, the cabinet meeting would indeed have resembled the Maoist reeducation session the press made it out to be. But they didn’t.

            This small episode, this miniature, wholly unnecessary bit of dissembling or incompetence by the press, is a nice example of what Nicole Hemmer, a political scientist at the University of Virginia, has called “Trump Exceptionalism.” It is a disease that strikes journalists above all. In the eyes of the bright young things who work in the White House press corps, with their faulty educations and unearned world-weariness, everything Trump does must be nefarious, and if not nefarious, at least vulgar and unprecedented. It just has to be. So it is. Even when it’s not.”

  4. Those four teams ain’t bad, Scottie! You could have made a stronger argument. The year-to-year changeover in teams in this one-and-done era makes it tough for you to disparage programs based on the previous year’s team.
