Another Milestone
USC cornerback Terrell Thomas plays his final game in the Rose Bowl, but he completed another milestone last week, when he officially earned his bachelor’s degree.
Thomas laughed that athletic director Mike Garrett frequently lectured his class about academics following a rough early start.
``It wasn’t looking too good for us. Mike Garrett said we were the most athletic class but also said you suck in school,’’ Thomas said. ``We were knuckleheads. But we turned out to be the best class. Jody (Adewale) is getting his masters. Lawrence (Jackson) is getting his degree. Sedrick (Ellis) too.
Congrats to those getting their degree. One never knows how it is going to work out in the NFL. Last night I was waited on in a restaurant by a young man who said he had played one year at the University of Arizona (under Mackovic). That degree can never hurt.
