USC athletic director Mike Bohn was on the sideline at the Holiday Bowl last night in San Diego.
One of the people he was with was former USC linebacker Wille McGinest gave a earful to athletic director Mike Bohn last night at the Holiday Bowl.
McGinest is known for being outspoken and one source said Bohn himself was not spared over his own performance. I’m still working on getting more details.
- A reader who listened to the USC radio broadcast said Matt Fink was referred to as the “fifth-string quarterback.”
- I heard this last night but confirmed it today: Players were laughing in the locker room after the game, which adds to the theory Iowa took the game a lot more seriously than USC.
You know who’s really fun to listen to? Dan Weber. All throughout the Holiday Bowl practice period, Dan was complimenting the USC players for their enthusiasm and intensity —- going so far as to say USC would win by 2 touchdowns (in other words, the same old dreamy crap you get outta him before every big game). THEN —when USC got their clock cleaned —Dan explained that the poor preparation killed them and, boy, did he see it coming. Like Helton, he ‘s sure nobody’s memory stretches 24 hours into the past. What a joke.

On the day after another momentous bowl game fiasco under HC CH, I have not heard a single bit of bad news yet. Willie McG giving the AD a lashing? Good news. DeForrest going to NC state? Good news. Where’s Chris Claiborne? Where’s JDR?
I’ve been hanging out with Hawkeyes fans for a few years now. They still talk about the Orange Bowl loss to Carson Palmer in2003/4. Been hanging out in SD for 48 hrs—the Hawks fans knew that they were gonna blow out the Trojans yesterday. Called us “soft.” So right, by what I saw last night.
After HC CH loses in epic fashion to Bama, he will be 13-14 ASD (after Sam D).

Players were laughing/joking on the sideline during the game while losing, and when Slovis was injured, clearly in a lot of pain, and getting treatment while lying down on the bench. Very troubling to see and a horrible look.

What Clay Helton has allowed this program to become is pathetic. I’m watching Ed Orgeron’s LSU team dominate Oklahoma like USC used to do to other teams and it makes me ill. You have to wonder if anyone in administration even cares about the football program.

Don’t for a moment think that any of the shit that Gomer allows would be remotely seen on a Orgeron-coached team. Laughing while a fellow player is in pain, laughing off an embarrassing game, and not preparing for a nationally-televised bowl game.
It sickens me to know that at one point, not so many years ago, we had Coach O coaching the Trojans.
Look at him now. Up 49-14 against the sooners in the 1st half.
Thanks Haden – you and your hires have managed to sink this program deeper than anyone.

What a crock of shit the game was. USC Football has become such a embarrassment and a laughing stock to college football. Not prepared, laugh while kicking your ass kicked, and a coach who has no clue how to coach.
Air Raid offense ? How many championships has it won ?? Mike Leach, the master of it how many has he won? Washington has smoked him 8yr’s in a row. John McKay invented the I formation, why to run the ball. Tailback U is now pussy soft U. The quicker your offense is off the field, the more your defense is on.
If Helton had any integrity/honesty, which he profess he does, he would resign and take a lesser amount of buy out. But no he is going to keep milking the USC cow. He says ” Bright Days are Ahead”, same ole bullshit he says every year. Thanks Folt, Bohn ( weak ass) and BOT ( hello Caruso– how is you family baggage if your dad was H.J Caruso the car dealer in L.A. in late 40’s & early 50’s ).
Enough is enough—Fuck It.

I would like it if a Trojan priest, rabbi, or minister would take out a full page in the L. A.

One comment and one question to my fellow USC fans. I hope Gomer is seeing a psychologist for the shit that comes out of his mouth. I can’t imagine that even HE believes the shit that comes out of his mouth. He is talking about this program being about championships….a well coached, disciplined Iowa team with mostly 3 star kids just put up 49 points on you Gomer. What will a well coached , disciplined, and hungry 4 and 5 star team like Alabama do to our soft defense? 98 points? We need more former players such as McGinest, Leinart, Bush, Salisbury, Allen, and Mays to speak out about the embarrassment that this once proud program has hit under Helton. News flash Gomer, you will have to contend with ass whoopings by ND, Oregon, and Utah as well. Championship program , more like a national embarrassment. Folt and Bohn can go away with you. If he had real integrity, he would resign today.
