Regarding Black Socks
I finally got a chance to speak to athletic director Pat Haden about the Trojans' decision to wear black socks this season.
Haden said one factor in the decision was USC's probation.
``The kids don't get to go to a bowl game,'' he said. ``So we decided, let them wear black socks.''
Thanks Pat, thanks. You handled the NCAA like sheet, you've handled this like sheet, but you can find more freaking sports for women to suck the athletic department dry of money, you're a freaking liberal dope.
If it was that easy, they should have asked for pink boob cancer gloves and matching belts.
Socks, we're talking about socks. Not the school colors or the logo on the helmet, socks.
We may jsut be talking about socks but it never did take much to get OTJH all riled up.
Jethro, I was doing my best Allen Iverson impression.
Pat Haden has deferred SC football's traditional look to the players who think covering themselves from head to toe with tattoos and body piercings is also a good look? I'm beginning to miss Mike Garrett.
True fans don't just watch the ball; they focus on guys' ankles.
True SC fans are capable of appreciating the tradition and pageantry of the football program while watching as the Trojans run and throw the ball and score touchdowns on the field.
Maybe the black socks can represent the program's period of mourning for our lost bowl game and scholarships.
Jethro Sabbath, are your parents related?
OTJH, speaking of such things, do you think Perry will beat out Bachmann for the hillbilly vote? Or will the hillfolk go with Romney, shrewdly thinking ahead to the general election?
Give em the socks. Ya'll need to school yourselves on the history of SC uni's. Things haven't always been the same. Here's a good video:

I dunno Rob, since you're a hillbilly I think you can answer that for yourself, you Jew hating rag head loving loony liberal.
Haden has turned out to be a douche nozzle. What a catastrophic disappointment.
All these crocodile tears are crazy. I will wager 99% of fans, even season ticket holders, could not tell you for certain what color socks the team wears, or even if there is one traditional color, be it maroon, black or white.
This sounds like it is simply that faction of angry fans who now cry and moan about everything! If Wolf hadn't mentioned it, no one would even know about these damn socks. God, why does Wolf's blog attract all the whiners? We have many times more whiners than Conquest Chron or OCR's blog. What gives? Even the Cadre sounds logical and reasonable by comparison.
Has there been a sudden outbreak of liberalism and brotherly love for Muslims amongst America's hillbillies? OTJH, are you secretly an anthropologist?
How angry would OTJH get if someone actually insulted him? It seems his walking around level is about a nine for the average person.
The players have been taping their ankles with black tape on the outside for years. Usually could only see maybe a half inch of white sock. Who cares.
That's funny, this picture from last season shows the opposite:
