USC athletic director Mike Bohn did not want to speak to reporters after the UCLA game:
“Not today, we just beat the Bruins.”
He did say this about UCLA.
“I beat ’em (UCLA) twice in the same year.”
That includes Cincinnati defeating UCLA earlier this season.
Did you hear Kirk Herbstreit defend Helton on the Oregon-Arizona State game? Just like Brian Greise did at the USC-UCLA game.
Here’s another take:
Whew! That was a nail biter but glad the Trojans beat UCLA and now Coach Clay Helton will be here for at least couple of more years!
Franklin??!! the dude lost to Clay Helton and the Trojans! Why is his name coming up all the time? Urban Meyer had some success but he is a womanizer and not a good God fearing man like Clay Helton is! Meyer was around mormon country and coached super christian Tim Tebow yet he is a god forsaken pagan!!

Michael, does Scottie give Slovis a solid A, or even an A+, instead of the previous ceiling of an A-, on his report card for this game?
Or does the fact that Westwood’s defense, being worse than most JC’s in the state, keep it at an A-?

To retain credibility Scott has to give USC record breaking Slovis an “A” —-especially since at least 2 of his great passes were dropped —once by St. Brown and once by Michael Pittman.

I left Los Angeles for NOLA at 12:10 pm for Thanksgiving vacation. We arrived at the NOLA airport near the middle of the 4th quarter. Walking through the place the family spotted a sports bar with two screens showing the game. We stopped for a few seconds to see a bruin running back scuttling up the field and the Trojan defense playing the keystone cops. When they finally ran the guy out of bounds a bar patron yelled, “ha! too bad USC we got your coach and you can’t have him back.”
Thank God we won.

If Gomer were serious about retaining his job he would fire Baxter and Clancy TODAY, stop the God references during interviews (we know you are devout but leave Him out of the conversation), and demonstrate your confidence in your abilities by not kissing your boss’ ass so obviously.
But we know Gomer won’t do any of that, and he will not make changes unless ordered to do so by his AD, and then it will only be half hearted changes.

Her solution: move it to a different place on campus, trying to have it both ways. Usually good decision making , unfortunately, is about either-or eventually. Her waffling led to disdain on the part of all groups. Is this the best the search committee could do. I hear she does not approve of U if true, when did we become the morality cop? But.
