Boiling Point

I'm going to list some facts here just to illustrate how things got to where they are today.

Item: Last January, Ken Norton and Rick Neuheisel went to dinner to discuss the idea of Norton joining UCLA's staff. Norton eventually declined.
Item: In May, UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel tried to push the embarrassing youtube USC walk-on video to recruits. The video was eventually removed from youtube by USC. UCLA denied the allegation.
Item: In July, Narbonne safety Byron Moore decommited from UCLA to USC.
Item: In October, Neuheisel went around town expressing displeasure that Pete Carroll attended two Loyola High games, a violation of NCAA viewing period rules. Carroll said he misinterpreted the rules and was kept from at least one high school game to make up for the violation.
Item: Last week, Carson tight end Morrell Presley decommited from USC to UCLA.
Item: Norton accused UCLA of saying he would leave USC and become defensive coordinator.

Scott, do you have any quotes from Neuheisel saying that Carroll was attending too many loyola games? Going around town saying it? Kinda odd way of putting don't you think?

Yeah, why not just put "Pete Carroll committed a recruiting violation and Neuheisel pointed it out to multiple sources", which is what happened.

At least we don't have to worry about Norton leaving for the ruins. He pretty much burned that bridge. But, as we all know, a ruin is a ruin for 4 years but a Trojan is a Trojan for life.

Ah yes the triple...
Petey cries when the video of his sonny boy "Spaulding" showcases nepotistic mediocrity.
Petey cries when a 4-8 team gets a little physical.
Petey cries when his best "fingertaped" recruiter gets gets beat for the #1 tight end in the country.
One instance is an anomoly. Two is a trend. Three is certifiable evidence that Pete Carroll needs his blankie.....WAAAAAAHHHHHHH.

Must be a slow day at the University of Angela Davis, oh I forgot their season is over and they have nothing to do but visit this blog.

If Brennan is Spaulding, then Neuheisel is the doodie in the pool. Too bad Orgeron is gone, because he definitely is the Al Czervik.

Scott,

Which if any of these incidents is an NCAA violation? If and when PC or KN provide proof of their allegations what can be or will be done to RN? Thanks.
