No McKnight
USC tailback Joe McKnight did not accompany the team buses to the airport for today's flight to San Francisco. McKnight declined comment.
USC coach Pete Carroll said after practice that McKnight would make the trip. But it certainly appeared otherwise as McKnight left the campus this afternoon.



No worries about missing the bus, Baby Mama has a ride for him. Perhaps next year, if SC has not received the death penalty, it will be invited to the United States China Bowl.
He's going to drive up there in his new car.
Frankly, I'm getting sick of this. I live on the East Coast and it's getting so I can't wear my Trojan gear around without catching hell for this stuff. Uncle Pete needs to get this under control, like yesterday.
To be fair, this trivial kind of stuff happens at all major programs. The news is just amplified at USC in LA. One of the ESPN headlines today is USC has three academic casualties, while I bet almost every single bowl team has academic casualties. USC operates in the limelight.
UCLA, which claims to be superior academically, has two academic casualties for its crappy bowl game. But since UCLA is crappy and no one follows their football program, it isn't big news.
United States China Bowl...LMAO But let's be honest...HE isn't going to drive the range rover up to Nor Cal, his girlfriend is.
I love how the blind trOJies play the "it happens everywhere but only at SUC is it noticed" song and dance. Really? Prove it. Bruins aren't the only ones waiting for the NCAA to come down on SUC...so is the rest of the country.
Another blog post summed it up best, "McKnight's latest NCAA violation is like crashing into the courthouse when you're on trial for a DUI and then failing a breathalyzer". Just doesn't get any more stupid than that. Cheat on, tOeJams!
Wouldn't the superior academic school with superior standards ding more football players who didn't cut the mustard? That means USC 3, fucla 2.
Wow. Joe is driving that Rover straight to the NFL. That's if any club would take the risk to draft a fumbling bust.
Good thing we have a "stable" of running backs for the Emerald Bowl.
USC Alum '02
Inventive the Fucla trolls are...
A must read this blog they make...
While unemployed plenty of time they have...
Enjoy my weekend in San Fran I will...
Limelight indeed. If Carroll were asking players to give up their scholies, it'd be national news. No one cares when Neuheisel does it.
Normally, the Bruin fans have round ball to distract them this time of year. Maybe when softball season starts, there'll be fewer Bruin trolls on the premises.
Hey Bucket, your whacko stuff is funny enough when post, and leave it for the readers to pick apart.. You actually do have a fun sense of humor, for a moron anyway. I guess that's about all that one could ask for though, when their powder blew gridiron lightweights and their supposed vaunted hoopsters ("because, of course, we are a basketball school") both underachieve and suck so badly! anyway You don't need the extra alias's to compound your orgasm son, Just post under the Bucket, we don't need you to also be "mg'slobotomist","WHAT'S YOUR DEAL?",or "Unemployed USC Alum" just to name a few..Hell, I guess that you're french fry station must have shutdown for the holidays, which gives you so much time to post continuously under so many alias' throughout the day. Might I suggest that you head out to Westwood, "Bucket" in hand..to cleanup that Cardinal and Gold teddy bear that sits in your quad..and take a break from this Trojan blogspot for a while.
Hugs,
Torpedo
Charlie Scum Bucket disappeared once he heard UCLA has academic casualties for its "bowl" game as well. That huge "thud" this afternoon was all those UCLA alums and "fans" falling off their high horses - guess that ineligibility bug is contagious, eh Scummie?
If UCLA football players were so smart, they wouldn't have decided to play for a second-class football program whose basketball team will be bringing up the rear in the Pac-10 standings this season, too.
McKnight was going to leave after this season anyway. He has to take care of his family. He would've been wearing his NFL logo socks in the bowl game.
He announced he was coming to USC by referencing a Reggie Bush-Pete Carroll phone call (a recruiting no-no), only to have his high school coach and Carroll say he was mistaken. He will leave USC driving in the Land Rover he says he never drove, only to have Tessalone say he was mistaken. A handful of amazing plays, too many fumbles, and unmet expectations in between.
He denied that he ever drove the vehicle to a LA Times reporter? After he was seen driving around in it for several weeks? After he registered the vehicle with the school? And HE is academically eligible?
Jim Harrick and Rick Neuhiesal agree that the cover-up is ALWAYS worse than the alleged misdeed. (By the way, DeSean Foster thinks that you bRuin vultures, er, trolls have a short memory.)
Not a great week before the bowl game, eh? Pete, time to let Gable out of the doghouse. CJ, this may be your NFl showcase. Seize it.
Maybe we can Mike Gerrity to distribute the football on Saturday? ;-)
Beat the Eagles! Fight On!!
you know USC is down when their fans claim victory over having more ineligible players.
I'll let you guys have this one.
an attempt at misdirection hmmm?
herh herh herh.
try to cloud everything, the Dark Side will.
at issue, the Jedi Bruins are not.
grave cheating and lies from USC, at issue are.
disintegrating, the Death Star is i sense.
to The Force, the recruits will gravitate.
Yoda is my favorite. I do appreciate LJ too, however.
I like reading Yoda too. His posts make me think of him as what he probably is - a pimple-faced fat-fart loser using a computer in the dimly lit basement at his mom's place, a 30-something wannabe who is obsessed with Star Wars figures and probably has memorized every Captain Kirk scene from Star Trek. With a screen name like Yoda, for sure he is "getting the girls," if you know what I mean. Anybody who writes that drivel undoubtedly has serious psychological issues! I'm just glad he's a bRUIN fan - he fits right in with those losers and their basketball team that will be bringing up the rear (just like Yoda does for his buddies) in the Pac-10 this season.
Old School, relax. I know you are right but don't run Yoda off. I love the dbag.
it is well documented that i work in candy factory, there is no french fry station. also there are no trolls here (oompa loompas yes, but no trolls).
insofar as the theory that i post under various aliases, i am not sure what the point in that would be, but clearly this is an erroneous claim. while i certainly appreciate that all the the parties on this blog have their good and bad points, lets face it, when it comes to charm, style and grace, ChuckerBucker stands alone.
but Yo-Duh hit the nail on the head an usual...all this anger trying to take the focus off of imploding Southern Cal program...
Meanwhile Stan Hasiak is on his way back to Aloha-Land.
If somebody is truly smart then they don't have to brag about it, or "wear it on their sleeve," as the saying goes. So if ucla people on this blog are truly smart then they would stop talking about it. Otherwise they are not so smart.
Get it.
Stan is always welcome back when he gets his deal together.
for the record i never claimed to be smart. i just said i had style charm and grace. you can be dumb and have those qualities.
and one should really use a question mark in "get it?" or in the alternative, use "dig it." which is a command rather than a question.
Wow. McKnight's girlfriend's ride cost about as much as my used minivan. Wonder if the Times would have said anything if he was seen driving a minivan?
I'm sure the guy would have co-signed if she hadn't had Joe's baby. RIGHT. I'm tired of that kind of crap. F McKnight. Kick him off the team. If he's that stupid, get rid of him.
