Answers Friday, Part 5
The answers continue as we wait to see if anyone will draft Davon Jefferson?
Q: Whenever you post those great pictures of the Song Girls from the halcyon days that are long since past, could you also add some streaming audio of Bruce Springsteen's "Glory Day" to further add to the aura and memories?
A: Maybe we can get the USC band playing it, since it's about their era too.
Q: I feel bad for not addressing the real topic "how can Mitch Mustain return the Song Girls back to their glory". SW, on with the real question, do you think that the memory of the Stanford game (and Hair-ball's big mouth) are weighing heavily on PC, and that he may send a "seek & destroy message to boys on 11/15/08?
A: You can safely say that game is circled on Caesar's calendar like no other. But he was also motivated last year when Harbaugh said he was leaving after the season and it didn't seem to help much.
Q: Scott have you looked at the Spirt Squad? As you probably know they were created to replace the yell leaders. However, the girls on the spirt squad are much better looking than the song girls.
A: Hmmm. Good point.
Q: Do Patrick Turner and Rasheed Wallace see the same barber?
A: Maybe but they definitely have different personalities.
Q: I would take a 42 year old Tricia Pillbury over some the gals on our squad today. Any truth to the rumor that Hue Jackson is on the Song Girl selection committee?
A: Hahaha. He's certainly had enough jobs over the years and based on his playcalling at USC, some fans wish that were his job here.
Q: What are the chances USC beats Ohio State. Also will this lose hurt USC gaining invinciblitly from the Bush and Leinart years?
A: If USC loses to Ohio State, it will not affect the invincibility. That was more damaged from the loss to Texas and perhaps even more, the loss to Stanford last season.
Q: At this year's Homecoming, there is a Song Girls reunion, so any chance you can get an update and interview with Tricia Pillsbury, including her views on what went wrong with the Song Girls during this past decade and how they are soiling her good name and legacy?
A: Again, a worthy idea. Perhaps we can let her guest blog for a few days too.
And now Davon Jefferson is screwed.
Scott, please consider a full report of the SG's reunion. The Daily News should make this a feature story. If you would kindly share the contact info for the editor or the proper person to whom to direct this suggestion, your readers will gladly oblige in encouraging the Daily News to cover this story. It's like a reunion of the Ken Stabler-era Oakland Raiders with an opportunity to ask how they feel about the decade long crash of their legacy.
We need to get actaul attractiave girls next year. This has just been unacceptable. The squad is not a clique where unattractive girls get their unattractive friends to join. I'm sorry but the university deserves better representation.
Davon Jefferson should not have hired an agent and should have kept attending classes.
Major blunder on his part and also Floyd and the whole Athletic Department. Pete Carroll continues to save Garrett's butt big time.
Meanwhile North Carolina welcomes back their starting point guard and shooting guard, as well as their top 6th man. Throw in the returning senior Tyler Hansbrough, and you can ink The Heels in the Final Four. Lawson, Ellington, and Green all tested the NBA waters and had private workouts with NBA clubs. Not sure why DJ did not avail himself to this process...
