Check the USC newsletter today for Part II on the USC basketball drama as Andy Enfield and Mike Bohn seem to have a difference of opinion.
- USC announced it hired Amy Johnson as football dietician. She came from LSU.
I mention it because a USC source tells me Johnson got a sterling recommendation from LSU coach Ed Orgeron.
Even though Orgeron might still resent the way he was treated by USC, he speaks to people in the athletic dept. and will help LSU employees move west if desired.
Maybe Orgeron should resent the way USC seems to try to steal his staff.
It hired the hype video guys, which ultimately blew up in USC’s (Brandon Sosna’s) face and they left after about a year.
USC hired LSU Assistant Director of On-Campus Recruiting Operations Jeff Martin.
And now USC hired Johnson, who seems to be the one LSU wished it kept.
The fanboy sites go nuts over some of the hires, especially the hype video guys, and then when it blows up pretend it never happened.

It’s fetching nutrition, fer cripesake.
It’s NOT rocket science.
These folks are truly a bonus to these young student-athletes and always dedicated to helping them achieve their optimal wellness. They don’t get a ton of respect along the way either.
I recall the last one trying to get JuJu to drink his beet juice during games, as beet juice provides some anti-oxidants or sumpin’. And we all know JuJu was monstrous.

Sorry for such a tardy reply, Michele.
I failed earlier today to note the gravitas of your post.
Indeed, you hit the target.
Show Cause Chocolate Chip has elevated sport nutrition to the next level for his student athletes while also diverting the team dietician in augmenting his own man-boob bra size.
Still I fear that despite Chip’s gender-bender cup size, he might be building an 8-4 winner in Westwood which could regulary (in italics) beat a lazy Trojan squad.

I hope that instead of the team eating kale, alfalfa sprouts, lettuce, and radishes, that they get jumbolya, hammock, grits, rice, beans, and that good southern cooking. The boys are getting blown off the line because they are too light.

Cut and paste–CalSeventy-Five–from the Wall Street Journal.
(For the shorter version, see * below)
And I quote:
Among private schools, two of the country’s top 10 colleges of any kind are located in California—Stanford University, ranked No. 4 overall nationwide, and the California Institute of Technology, No. 7 overall.
The WSJ/THE ranking is based on 15 factors across four main categories: Forty percent of each school’s overall score comes from student outcomes, including measures of graduate salaries and debt burdens, 30% from the school’s academic resources, including how much it spends on teaching, 20% from how well it engages its students and 10% from its environment, a measure of the diversity of its students and faculty.
The University of California, Los Angeles is the highest-ranked public school in the West, at No. 26 among all colleges nationwide. The University of California schools in Berkeley, Davis and San Diego round out the top four Western public schools, in that order. All four are also among the top 10 public schools in the country.

The University of California system’s schools in Santa Barbara and Irvine are ranked sixth and seventh, respectively, among public schools in the region. The University of Washington-Seattle is the highest-ranked public school in the West not located in California, at fifth among the region’s public schools and No. 45 among all colleges nationwide. It also made the top 10 public schools in the country.
In addition to Stanford and Caltech, two other private schools in the West are among the top 25 colleges overall in the country—the University of Southern California, at No. 19 overall, and Pomona College, at No. 24 overall.

A guy that used to go to my old gym played DL at Cal in the early 70s and was a high school teammate of Haden’s at BA. This guy told me some great stories about Chuck Muncie and his minder Artie Gigantino when they had to stash him at a JC to get him eligible. Chuck left Cal more or less illiterate.

Indeed, Cal75, Cal takes “all comers.”
That is, a lazy, impudent Cali HS “retread” (pardon my misspelling of the obvious) who sneaks through the Juco system in Cali can apply to UC Berk, gain admission, graduate, and claim he is a Berkeley quality “grad.” My business partner of 10 years was such a loser. He showed his lack of intelligence, skill, and fortitude daily–but proudly put his Cal diploma on the wall of our office.
“Never before has so much been done by so many for the benefit of so few.”*
As a lifelong, pre-prop13 Californian, I proudly embraced UC Berk and UCLA but SMDH as I see the vaunted UC system descend into the £ibt@rd abyss. Point of no return. See NY state/Ed Koch et al.
