I don’t expect Carol Folt to get it right on football. Two years ago, she did not want fire Clay Helton.
But I do expect her to handle issues that concern the safety of USC students.
Folt said in a letter sent to students and staff Friday that the university’s hotline received at least seven reports of possible drugging and possible sexual assault at a fraternity in late September but the information wasn’t shared with students until a month later.
“We now know that there was a troubling delay in acting on this information. As president, I came to USC with the promise to confront what is wrong and lead the effort to fix what is broken. This is too important to not get right,” Folt said.
What a disgraceful admission. Will USC investigate and get rid of anyone who delayed the release of this information? If it does, it won’t tell the public. That’s just not the university’s way. It prefers to keep things private.

The next line of Carol Folt’s statement quoted here should be: “Therefore I am resigning as USC President effective immediately.”

What do you expect from University of South Central? USC is located in the worst crime ridden neighborhood in Los Angeles. Why would any parent send their kids to USC? Didn’t they look around the neighborhood??!! Much as you’ll hate UCLA in this blog, you got to admit UCLA’s location is far more desirable than USC’s location. UCLA is in Westwood, bordered by Bel-Air and Brentwood. Arguably the best neighborhoods in the country. USC is in South Central LA, bordered by Pico-Union and stones throws from Florence and Normandie, the most infamous intersection in the country.
Why are you all surprised? When you play in the mud, you get muddy. Not Folt’s fault. Look yourselves in the mirror.

This president is an absolute joke. I tried several times to personally speak to her about the sad state of affairs of the USC Football program and the ineptness of Helton. I got as far as her personal secretary. I told them I was an past captain of the team and had some advise for the president. I never got a call back! Zero. Nothing! Same thing with our twit AD Bohn.. Never called me back! Since then, I’ve been rooting for the opposing teams to embarrass USC on the field. My wish has come through! Folt and Bohn are both inept twits and are prime examples of the Peter Principle! People rising to the level of incompetence.

New questions for everyone.
1. Is Ed Charlie Bucket? (Without the gueys reference it’s hard to tell.)
2. What did trojanwb expect? Carol gets pranked all of the time. She’s still chasing her refrigerator (an assistant is looking into it for her) after I called and asked if her refrigerator was running. And Mike Bohn (don’t get me started) is still saying, “what?” after I called him a teddy bear when he affirmed that he had cotton balls. Heck they can’t tell you who the first Heisman trophy winner was.
3. Is Owns right?
4. Will the newspaper ever stop guessing who the next football coach will be. We haven’t even begun the search for a next basketball or baseball coach yet.
5. Where is Pudly ? (Serious question not a troll for troll answer)

Scooter,
I did not see you at the Loyola vs St. Paul game last night. It was a thriller. The first three kicoffs to Loyola, they all went for touchdowns. However, the second td was called back due to a penalty. Loyola was ahead 28-21 at half time. They then score another td in the second half. St. Paul came back and was behind by two from scoring a td. On the extra point StP tried the old St Francis stance, where their hands are on the knees and then they stood up and then into their stance. That drew Loyola offsides and STP went for two and got it making it 36-35 St.P. Loyola was on a drive with about 3 minutes left and then on fourht and one the qb takes a snap from shotgun and was tackled for a loss. Loyola got the ball back with around a minute and drove the ball down to the 26 yd line with 3.5 seconds left. Loyola attempts a field goal and it went right. STP holds on and wins 36-35.

I sazw Sultan McCllough, the rb from SC at Connel’s on Washington Blvd. in Pasadena. That is a great place. We talked about SC football and he doesn’t care for Helton and he wants SC to back to power run, just like i do. That is SC’s DNA, power run with fullbacks and tightends blocking. I then suggested David Shaw or his OC cordinator to be the head coach at SC and he liked that. They run the perfect offense that SC should be running, not this pop gun offense.

Let’s see if they hire the best guy available. If they don’t then find another football team to follow because this administration doesn’t want to win big. This coaching change will tell you a lot about this administration. Haden, Swann and Nakias are gone. They were a problem because they didn’t want to win big. Let’s see what Folt and Bohn do. I think that they will hire an outstanding coach but maybe I’m deceived. We’ll see. I still like Fickell over everyone else but Mel Tucker is growing on me.

The guy I go for is Fickell. I think that he is the best out there and I think that they should be going after the best. Make him tell you no before you look elsewhere. If he says no, then there are a lot of other outstanding coaches out there who will want that job. I think James Franklin wants the SC job badly. Matt Campbell is mentioned a lot. I have mixed emotions about him. If you look at his record, he loses a lot of close games. The great coaches win those close ones. It’s true that a lot of his games are close simply because he doesn’t have the talent to blow people out in a good conference like the Big-12. So I wouldn’t be disappointed if they got him. There are a lot of good things about him. I would actually take a close look at Tom Herman. I know people are going to think I’m crazy for throwing him in there. But He’s an outstanding coach. Texas gave up on him too early. Sark will be gone after his 3rd season. They definitely made a mistake on him.
