USC Morning Buzz: Winners And Losers Of The Week

WINNERS

Cornerback recruiting

Maybe USC will fulfill Pete Carroll’s one-time dream of becoming Cornerback U. The Trojans are certainly getting top prospects. Now they need to be coached into elite college corners. Didn’t happen in 2020.

Todd McNair

From out of coaching for 10 years to going to a Super Bowl with Tampa Bay. That’s a turnaround.

Deland McCullough

Both Super Bowl teams’ running backs coaches were at USC. McCullough was bright enough to get away from Clay Helton as fast as possible after one season.

Clay McGuire

It’s like hitting the lottery. One day, you are at Texas State. The next day, you are USC offensive line coach.

John David Baker

I neglected to mention a couple days ago he coached the USC “inside receivers” in addition to the tight ends. So he developed Drake London? Yeah, right.

LOSERS

Roster loyalty

I spoke to a friend who graduated from USC after the basketball team’s victory over Cal. He said he could only recognize three players on TV. I don’t blame him with all the transfers and roster shuffling. It’s become like the NBA in college basketball.

Tom Barrack

The USC trustee came under unwanted scrutiny after the White House said he supported a pardon of a USC Varsity Blues parent.

Carol Folt

She talks about integrity but hasn’t said a word about whether it should be investigated if Barrack did anything in conflict with his role as a trustee.

Larry Scott

He got jettisoned a year before his Pac-12 contract expired. Poor guy made only $50 million. Do you think he feels the least-bit guilty about that?

  1. Additional losers:

    Dear Pisley, fulltime AH and re-tweet queen.

    Women’s bozo bb 59 – Stanford 86.

    Mighty bozo men’s bb – Dodges Stanford game with fake CV-19 positive test. Then whines the usual excuses, excuses, excuses, excuses and offers to play Stanford another time knowing Stanford would decline.

    1. I’m not trying to be mean or anything Owns, but what’s it like being homeless? After all, you claim that you are a follower of Ucla sports , but hangout on this park bench of a blog.
      You call us names hoping for a handout but usually we try to be respectful. If you hadn’t noticed USC trolls itself, so why would you possibly post here?
      I gotta put you in the loser column this week.

      1. Rialto ToeJam asks me “…what’s it like being homeless?”

        No clue ToeJam, I live in a westside castle.

        Question ToeJam, is the zoo feeding you enough bananas?

      3. JustOwns is truly a pathetic and lonely person. As it was noted, he is a UCLA follower but hangs around a USC blog…homeless, jobless, and friendless. Just a very very sad person. I guess his hanging around a USC blog with his puerile posts is deep down a cry for help.”..please, someone, anyone, look at me”

      3. What Pac-12 team sits in 1st place?

        Answer: UCLA. But bozo bb moves into second place by virtue of a fake/false positive CV-19 test to avoid its scheduled game at Stanford.

      4. MG-
        Thanks for the perspective. I guess that I am just tired of people like this lady staring at my sons and I in public just because I am speaking to them in Spanish.
        BTW I am sure that you know this- both my sons are learning Italiano ( their choice). They work on it daily on Duolingo. Spanish and Italian are more similar than S and French, but close to Portuguese. I am just excited for them.

      5. When you and the kids fly over to Italy and visit, the people will love you all for speaking Italian to them! While their English is outstanding, they truly love it when we do our best to speak their beautiful language.

        Example:
        Many years ago….Employing my best Italian, I called La Fonticine for a reservation for two. Fancy Ristorante in Firenze known for its meat dishes and wine. My wife and I dressed smartly. We humbly announced our arrival–again speaking my “best” Italian. The host lead us by tables full of Americano tourists at the noisier front end of the restaurant BACK TO THE beautiful open dining area full of all the mannered locals. Impeccable service. My first and last Osso Bucco (as I won’t be eating baby cows).

        Soon you’ll be able to book passage to Italy again. Magical.

        Made Life working at LA County-USC Med Center much easier.

      7. Bourbon beat me to it on this one, Arturo. Yeah, Italians love to hear Americans speaking Italian (but I must tell you —one of the most pleasant evenings I ever spent was at some big dive south of Rome where everybody was speaking different languages — I could make out German but there were several others all going on simultaneously —-and everybody was patting everybody else on the back and buying drinks for strangers —it was just the way it should be….. for one night anyway)…..
        btw, You’re a grand Papa, Arturo! Nothing better than that!

      8. Bourbon,

        Gold, brother! Gold!
        I just showed the boys your’s and MG’s post- they got a kick out of them. There’s just one problem (challenge, really): They both want to go to Italy now. Actually, I think that it was their plan all along: learn Italian so that I’d have to take them to Italy and so that their hard work wasn’t done in vain. From the way MG has raved about it over the years, it won’t take much convincing from either of them to get me to take them. After Hawaii, of course.

      1. Clown U recess is over.

        Mighty SUCC 5 – 0 (Luckily) vs Oregon 3 – 2 @ the crumbling mausoleum for the PAC – 12 Championship.

        The Loud talking, high stepping, celebratory Mighty SUCC’s choka, choka, choka, choka, choka, choka choke. Oregon pounds bozo FB, 31 – 24; and, it wasn’t as close a game as the score indicates. Has Slovis come too yet?

        Then ladies and pussies, the any team, anywhere, anytime mucho bozos announce they will not accept a bowl invitation. Here pussy, pussy.

      5. I vaguely recall this story from “way back then.”

        I also recall watching Michael Vick wearing a nicely pressed suit and being given a big salary as an NFL TV analyst after his retiring from professional football (ESPN? I don’t recall). I was a little bit shocked.

        Yep. I’m a dog lover.
        I guess I had to forgive Michael Vick for an unthinkable act.

      1. You know, sometimes owns just needs to admit defeat and walk away. Personally, I would not want to be on the debate team defending ucla football in the last 25 years. Because you need to go with things like “the bruins won the last time hyundai was the primary advertiser on the telecast!”

    Attacks SC, Cal but knows he would be wasting his time even applying for admission.
    Attacks SC alum P76, knowing full well P76 has forgotten more about SC than owns will ever know.
    +1 for owns, did remember to vacuum P76 trunk at the Cerritos car wash.

  8. Memo to: ’67

    Unlike most bozo FB pussies, I never make excuses for Bruin FB losses; in fact, when the Bruin FB SUCC’s you hear it from me first.

    What differentiates me from most bozo pussies is I won’t desert the team just because of 25 years years of losing and mediocrity.

    I fully expect to see UCLA win a FB NC before I expire.

    Laugh now ’67, but I’ll have the last, long laugh.
