Important Announcement About USC Blog

When I started this blog 29 months ago, it was going to be more of a hobby after covering USC for more than 20 years.

I never imagined it would grow to its current size and attract such a loyal audience.

Well, now it’s time to grow even more. Today, I’m taking the InsideUSC blog to Sports Illustrated. The new address is https://www.si.com/college/usc/

The new USC blog will be the same in many ways but will have much more video, more recruiting and a stronger “community” area for comments. I hope you will join me at the new site for even more USC coverage.

      3. POSTED ON AUGUST 15, 2020 BY STEVEN HAYWARD IN

        CITIES, RIOTS, OUR COLLAPSING CITIES

        “Let us take as our text for the day a passage from Sir Roger Scruton’s book How To Be a Conservative:

        Conservatism starts from a sentiment that all mature people can readily share: the sentiment that good things are easily destroyed, but not easily created.

        This is especially true of the good things that come to us as collective assets: peace, freedom, law, civility, public spirit, the security of property and family life, in all of which we depend on the cooperation of others while having no means singlehandedly to obtain it.

        In respect of such things, the work of destruction is quick, easy and exhilarating; the work of creation is slow, laborious and dull.

        That is one of the lessons of the twentieth century.

        It is also one reason why conservatives suffer such a disadvantage when it comes to public opinion.

        Their position is true but boring, that of their opponents exciting but false.”

    3. While I’ve not visited Chicago in close to 20 years, I recall all the locals telling my wife and me that “we had to visit the Miracle Mile” during our visit there. I stayed in a classroom (with hundreds of other hard-working, young medical doctors) while my wife and her friends took the locals’ advice and went shopping. We were broke at the time, but we always planned a return visit (once I had a little cash in pocket) for shopping, fine dining, and a trip to the Art Institute of Chicago.* I guess we can cancel that trip and blow my cash elsewhere.

      Sad to see America’s “Second City” destroying itself. Gotta think former mayor Rahm Emanuel is breathing a hefty sign of relief right about now.

      *If you ever played the board game Masterpiece as a kid, all the art you were “bidding on” was from the AI of Chi. Some really fantastic art!

  5. Kubla Coms

    (An update of Samuel Taylor Coleridge)

    In Wuhan did the Kubla Coms
    A terrible disease set free:
    Where bats, wet markets, sold
    And were eaten despite the mold
    Pandemic came to be
    So many times they tried to spin
    But were called out much to their chagrin
    China even sought to blame the U, S, A
    Pinning it on America’s military
    But the President stated “no way!”
    “It was you who were unsanitary”

    But oh! That China had bought all the W, H, O
    And more than a few American schools
    And Chinese talking points Doctors did bellow
    As if we wouldn’t catch on didn’t they know
    Bureaucrats and academics are such fools

    And from newsrooms, with ceaseless turmoil seething,
    Whining and sounding like a toddler teething
    Their fake news sounded so contrived and forced
    Form logic and from truth it’s divorced

    Their charges levied but to no avail
    Again watch all the media thrash and flail
    And ’mid this tumult Kublas screamed from far
    With voices propagandizing on N P R!

    Pretexts of the plague from Sino
    Was floated on the airwaves
    Echoed by Libs and RINOs
    Their excuses so depraves

    It was an effort to lie and deceive
    But all smart people disbelieve

    It is China’s bowl of rice
    And now the retribution they dread
    Again the truth once more has shred
    The lies of Commie Paradise.

      1. 20 years ago this Fall at a pregame party I met a cute coed just back from a year serving in the Clinton White House intern program. She was completely oblivious to the scandalous Clinton years and the embarrssing notoriety that “Clinton intern” carried, like some kind of Jonestown Cult member back from Guyana. After that I realized there are plenty who want to believe anything the Democrats tell them is the truth.

      2. It’s even a bit worse, gt. The ‘outer margin’, junior varsity Clinton staff people I worked with actually WEREN’T fooled —they knew the whole thing was a big scam and they weren’t the least bit bothered by it….. Oh, and they were the least compassionate, most prejudiced & condescending people I ever met —for example, on the walk to Cole’s Deli downtown they would get a big kick outta the people living in paper boxes in empty lots: “Look —it’s the Special Club Members—they all live in designer houses and wear the same fragrance of perfume.”

    1. 2 fucking wonderful movies, though. Denzel is great in Man on Fire, too
      (actually, going all the way back to the Devil in the Blue Dress, Denzel has always been great —- he sure looked pissed off when he didn’t get the Academy Award for Fences —just cuz the Academy had to go in a more woke direction —he knew it was bullshit)….

    2. Oh Hell Yeah!
      Remember when some of the Southland Movie theatres would offer a “double feature?”
      The second film usually started after 10PM and was usually something NO ONE had heard of nor had an interest in seeing.

      On a hot Summer night in SoCal, I recall watching just such an unheralded Aussie indie film–Road Warrior–as a second feature after midnight. All my mates were snoozing around me in the cool air-conditioned old theatre. INSTANT CLASSIC FILM. Not sure than any of the following films in the series rate as well, though Charlize Theron in Fury Road was, well, breath-taking to say the least.

      Trivia question for the day. No fair cheating.
      What was the name of the dog food which Mad Max would eat and then allow his dog to lick the remaining scraps out of the can?

    1. SEC schools always have 2-3 scrimmages during the regular season. Helps the “walking wounded” recover. Plumps up the stars statistics and the coaches W/L record. Shameful.

      Irrespective, at least they have the conjones to try to have a CFB season.

    1. Gee they shut down all the nuclear power plants and the Mandalay Beach/ Ormond Beach plant in Oxnard and now they discover there’s an energy shortage?

      “Oxnard Mayor Ramirez says that she is proud of the city’s opposition to the proposed power plants and is happy that Ormond Beach and Mandalay are going offline.

      “For all of these decades, the city of Oxnard, unlike other coastal cities which have unpolluted beaches, a vista and public access, have had to put up with smokestacks that look like some industry setting up on our beach,” said Ramirez. “Finally our city, community said, no more. I’m very happy about it, but I know that there’s much more to go.””

      4. So, I’ve gone on record noting my Green leanings and must ….
        (Yet I’m still very fiscally conservative and socially moderate).

        Indeed, France and Germany have stellar Nuke Power records, though Madam Merkel chose to end all Nuke Power in Germany many years ago. Of course, Nuke Power also produces NO GREENHOUSE GASES. Indeed many Greenies strongly espouse Nuke Power as a way to mitigate C02 emissions. I’d rather frac and burn methane/Natural gas than have to store spent radioactive water for a few million years.

        Here in the Western US, we have plenty of “marginal land” (for Ag) which is best used for huge solar farms. Likely won’t happen until the Ogalala aquifer is fully depleted. Ugh.
