Facebook Follies

| | Comments (20) |

Expect an overdrive campaign by the athletic dept. when school resumes to force all athletes to make their Facebook profiles ''private'' after websites ran photos of the track team, soccer team and song girls outside their official duties.
Not that making it private is a fail-safe solution. But all in all, not a great week for USC's image. Depending on your point of view.

Track and soccer team photos? What's the scoop?

Clay Matthews learned the hard way not to do something stupid on Facebook with his White Nation group.

Hey DFW,

Go here for an inside look of how our female athletes let loose.

Geez, nothing wrong with those photos. Halloween costumes, bikinis, the occasional beer, crap I miss college. So, athletes can act like normal kids to. Good for them. Only reason those links are getting play is because the girls are so attractive, and SC's sports teams are so high profile. Fight on, ladies. Just remember that USC is, and always will be, in the limelight. Better than the alternative, trust me - see Cal West(wood). Download an mp3 of "Living in the Limelight" by Rush for a great understanding of what to expect as a USC athlete.

A picture in song girl attire, a fairly modest Halloween costume, and a picture in a swimsuit? I agree with DFW, there's nothing wrong with any of these pictures. The way they're being shown is in a somewhat objectifying manner, but that shouldn't reflect poorly on the girl at all.

timmay said:

I don't know where those pictures are from but our song girls have been redeemed and our athletes have actually surpassed them. I think we should be promoting those pictures every way possible. Nothing tawdry but damn, SC is still the place to go to school. I'm going for another degree in something...

There's nothing wrong with the 3rd picture? Are you blind?

Yet another Song Girl scandal has hit the internet this morning and this one features lesbian action:

This is the most damaging one yet. The girl is not cute but these girl on girl pictures are HOT!

JamesUSC99 said:

Wow!!!!!!!! Those Song Girl pictures are shocking! I'm not quite sure what to make of those pictures but anyone who claims that the Song Girls in the 2000s are as wholesome and All-American as they were the previous three decades, these pictures pretty much destroy that myth.

How is the athletic department going to spin these pictures? Too funny!

DFWTrojan said:

Ooops! Most damaging is that these photos show some of the...ummm, errr, ahhh..."less talented" SGs. Bring back Dolly! Bring back the Look! Bring back the Pillsbury! It's time for an SG revolution!

Trojan in Redondo said:

Not a pretty Song Girl but interesting pictures. Trashy and loose morals. Seems to be the key to the Song Girls this decade, wouldn't you say? Does this count as part of Song Girlgate or is it a whole new scandal?

The Voodoo Walk said:

Somehow I can't imagine Tricia Pillsbury doing those things with a female. It's a different time, I guess.

Leinart would be proud of that bong, though!

anony4321 said:

So thaaaaaaat's what they do at Song Girl reunions.

Well the 2000s Song Girls may be aesthetically lacking, but these photos from this past week show that they sure know how to party. WHOHOO!

You know, they aren't doing anything that college kids shouldn't be doing, but this just shows anyone trying to protect the 'integrity' of the squad to just get off their high horse.

I must admit, that photo with the beer bong is hilarious. Lol.

anony4321:

Maybe they're not doing anything that college kids shouldn't be doing, but the thing is that they are not actually college kinds. These are grown women in the mid to late 20s who have already graduated from college.

Regardless of that, not exactly the pristine image we expect from the USC Song Girls. It's not that I have a problem with it, but only that there is so much hypocrisy coming from the Song Girl camp that they are fine young women with high morals and integrity. At least be honest.

Ms. Sarah Carmona is one serious bundle of lesbian fun, even if she is quite unattractive.

Free Lendale said:

3rd picture down - two of those three Song Girls are absolute dogs and the third one I'll give a pass to because she's making a weird face. But for anyone looking for evidence that demonstrates how far we've dropped in Song Girl talent, this is Exhibit freaking A.

Woof! Woof!

SAE'09 said:

Well, this has become yet one more Song Girl scandal that has become a national story. It's all over the internet now.

By the way, anony4321, I'm not really sure that's what all college girls do. I've tried to get my girlfriend to engage in some girl on girl action on numerous occasions but she never goes for it! I would trade her in for Ms Carmona if it weren't for the fact that Ms Carmona is fairly hideous and needs to lose about 40 pounds!

But fight on, Sarah Carmona! You go get those girls!

Reality Check:

The 70's and 80's were times of promiscuity, unprotected sex and rampant drug use. Even parents were known for "swinger" parties and wife swapping.

Someone guarantee me that there is absolutely no possibility that the beloved Song Girls with "The Look" were not just lucky that facebook and myspace didn't exist yet.

Anyone?

*crickets*

TrojaninDC said:

See, this is what happens when you don't have "The Look"! You go prowling for girls!

Somehow I don't think that when Tricia Pillsbury gets together with her fellow former Song Girls for a reunion, they make out with each other and have beer bongs of male appendages! Just a hunch I have...

Sam Gilbert said:

I see what you're saying - when you have "The Look," girls go prowling for you.
