Not On The Menu
Another recruiting weekend for USC, but the traditional Saturday night stop to Papadakis Taverna restaurant in San Pedro no longer is part of the official visit.
Following last year’s controversy right before the 2005 Rose Bowl, when a Texas newspaper wrote about a potential NCAA violation, the athletic dept. decided to no longer schedule recruiting dinners at the restaurant. No violation was reported but USC made the policy change anyways.

Weak, that's a bullshit call by SC and a weak rule by the NCAA
Let's be careful with our mouths commenting without foul language in a sportsmanship way.
Has anybody heard of any new committments?
Thnx
Nope, just some decommittments for you guys.
Regarding the PT dinner, sounds like if John Papadakis wouldn't MEET PRIVATELY IN A BACK ROOM/CALL RECRUITS, the rule wouldn't be broken. I think you are forgeeting SoCal92 that the issue was it turned out John was pressuring/calling recruits himself (Byers in his office, sitting him down and getting a coach on the phone). That is a clear violation of NCAA rules because he is a booster.
Don't know about new commitments, but Pete was at the basketball game tonight, leading a boatload of guys into the lockerroom at halftime. When they put Pete up on the big screen, the Galen Center crowd errupted with cheers.
Nah, ya got it wrong again Reel...he was distributing disabled parking passes to the likes of Cade McNown and teammates..
Savant:
I watched the round ball game and I saw PC as you indicated. I have hit the web hard a little and NOT a thing about the visiting recruits, zero, NADA!
Thnx
Gilly- Why stop there? I guess EWright and Desmond Reed have the market cornered on distributing Exctasy to coeds, so parking passes musta been the way to go. And I'm sure Winnie pickd up a hooker in his parking lot and pointed a pellet gun at her. Probably then stood guard while sanchez, dennis and wright had their way with a co-ed.
Dude, McNown was what, like a HC and almost 10 years ago? Wow, you must be really butt hurt about 13-9 to drag that up and throw stones from such an obviously glass house.
ReelBruin is clearly a "Reel Trojan" in disguise. Otherwise she would not be visiting us so much.... She probably just finished washing the dishes and scrubbing the floor and came to check on her Trojans....
Gillyking and td4troy...feeling you!!! Funny how there has been no second-class school fans going crazy here ever since Free Shoes University proved that even a broken clock is right twice a day. Dec. 2nd was a fluke.
Get Real Reel...It's called scoreboard. Had that fluke.. 13-9 never happened, you wouldn't even be here. Just look at the NCAA Football history between USC and ACLU..once again scoreboard! I must give your weak ass program it's props though for scratching out that win, the gutty little bruins deserve at least that much. Hell, even a blind squirrel finds an occassional acorn. So congratulations on your great accomplishment, I'm sure your pride is way way up there, regardless of the fall back to mediocrity with that impotent mark in the toilet bowl..or what ever that 3rd tier bowl game that is played in the San Francisco Giants BASEBALL stadium is called. While checking your football pride, I also have to give you props for allowing the prehistoric Bobby Bowden to achieve a winning season, even though he fired his own son after you allowed him victory. I guess that's why ACLU fired thier offensive coordinator after the game also. So anyway Reel...and the rest of your powder blews.....savor that little 13-9, graciously accept your cut out of the take the Trojans continue to earn for you by playing in BCS games and never forget the SCOREBOARD!

That was no fluke - we outcoached you, period. How I know you are all young and dumb - you don't even realize you didn't make it to 8 in a row. Enjoy the success while you have it.
We'll see what we see this coming Dec 1st.
Reelhead:
Florida St. pancaked you in a ding dong bowl. USC beat Michigan in the best bowl. Have you heard of 2007 Rose Bowl?
USC 32
Michigan 18
Dec 1, 2007 you play at the coliseum and I hope your ACLU is ready to play. The USC team will be ready, hungry and on a mission= NC!
Good luck!
If FSU beating us somehow meant USC didn't lose to UCLA, I could see how that mattered.
SCOREBOARD
Reelhead:
Read, read my post:
Yes: UCLA 13, USC 9
Are you happy? It matters how you finish. Have you ever thought of that?
