The 2023 ballot for the College Football Hall of Fame has been released and the USC candidates remain unchanged: tailback Reggie Bush, offensive lineman Jeff Bregel and safety Mark Carrier.
It remains a mystery how USC linebacker Chris Claiborne, who won the Butkus Award, is not on the ballot.
And the problem with putting Bush on the ballot so early is he sucks up all the oxygen and is likely to be elected sooner than later while older USC players will have to wait even longer because two Trojans in the same class is unlikely.
- Washington baseball coach Lindsay Meggs has retired. This could be relevant if USC and Washington pursue similar candidates.
There are two coaches who are strong candidates at Washington that USC should consider: Texas A&M associate head coach Nate Yeskie was a long-time assistant at Oregon State (2009-19) and was the 2017 D1Baseball Assistant Coach of the Year, when the Beavers’ pitching staff had a 1.93 ERA.
LSU pitching coach Jason Kelly was an assistant at Washington (2013-19) and Arizona State (2020-21). Kelly was D1 Baseball 2018 National Assistant Coach of the Year for helping lead the Huskies to their first-ever College World Series appearance.
He also has local ties and attended St. Joseph’s High School in Santa Maria.

If you are overweight and want to loose 15 lbs in a month and at least one belt size just go cold turkey and give up sugar. They say that the first four days can be as hard as heroin for some people. No more Dr. Pepper or strawberry ice cream.

Great advice. Don’t eat anything with added sugar and you’ll stay healthy. If you want a “dessert” eat a Lindt 100% cocoa bar.
Cal75 — all inflammation thrives on fat and sugar. Eliminate those from a diet and you create a body environment inimical to cancer. Some say a fat free, sugar free diet cures cancer. It doesn’t matter whether it cures cancer or not— it slows it’s growth to such an extent you can live a very, very long life.

Reggie, along with Tebow, were perhaps the two most exciting college football players of the pre-playoff era, They were, in some ways, the Magic and Bird of College Football, and both deserve to be in the CFHOF sooner rather than later. But keeping Reggie off the ballot in deference to an excellent but less-influential player like Claiborne is like keeping Derek Jeter off the ballot in order to boost Bernie Williams’ chances.

MY TURN: At a rally in Buffalo, New York on April 18, 2016, Trump told the crowd, “I wrote this out, and it’s very close to my heart. Because I was down there, and I watched our police and our firemen down at 7/11 — down at the World Trade Center right after it came down. And I saw the greatest people I’ve ever seen in action. I saw the bravest people I’ve ever seen.”

I LIKE THIS ONE, CLASSIC: Trump told reporters, “I hope they now go and take a look at the oranges, the oranges of the investigation, the beginnings of that investigation.”
The president also complained, “The Mueller Report, I wished, covered the oranges — how it started, the beginnings of the investigation, how it started. It didn’t cover that, and for some reason, none of that was discussed.”
Trump struggled to use the word “origins” and demanded an investigation of the “oranges” of Mueller’s probe

Jeff Bregel was a fine lineman at USC.
Recruited by Hudson Houck, Jeff studied under Kenny Ruettgers, Bruce Mathews, Donny Mosebar, and Tony Slaton–all of whom earned AA honors. Houck left when Jeff was a Frosh, but Dave Wannsteadt did a good job replacing Houck and produced a bunch of fine lineman during the Tollner years, including Jeff, Dave Cadigan, Tom Cox and James FitzPatrick, among others.
Jeff was a consensus all american and Morris trophy winner at USC.
Also an Academic standout–National Football Foundation National Scholar-Athlete. (Mosebar and Mathews were also honor roll students)

Last I heard, Jeff was alright. No evidence otherwise on the internet.
As above, Jeff proved he was a bright and successful student-athlete.
He waited his turn behind future NFL HOF linemen (man) and earned his AA (and academic) honors. Got himself a Superbowl Ring (or two?), and thankfully retired early.
In the 1980’s, HS and College FB players took lots of head hits with lousy football helmets (I sure did) and lousy coaching. A weird thing was happening in the 80’s. Coaches started teaching players to use their spine and helmet as a battering ram. I learned in the 70’s to block and tackle face-up/leading with the shoulder pads. There was an obvious change in the early 80’s. We are paying the price now. I was lucky enough to not play much in college and my brain–fortunately–was preserved.

With the current tech handhold depending on which frequency range you are on, you can talk from Santa Barbara all the way down the coast. Most first responders are proficient with HAM because during power failures and fires, the grid is compromised. They use their back up hand radios. Just about all hunters have HAM radios when you’re out of range of cell towers.
In fact our illustrious folks at the FBI, Peter Strozk and Lisa Page used HAM as their go to communication.
