Here’s a picture of the USC football managers on Sept. 20, 1949.
Being a manager used to carry some prestige to it and you can see the managers are wearing sweaters with patches that say “Soph SC Mgr” or “Junior SC Mgr.”
Note the wagon the managers are gathered around at Bovard Field.

ugh,im gonna by them a pretzuhl and maik em eet it on the play grownd cuz thay iz provokeking me on the innernet,smdh

It is a shame isn’t it, Ed? And funny, the one who started with the “meet up” talk is now complaining about it.
I do hope the threats are not serious. NOTHING posted on a blog warrants any type of violence. Far too many people out there these days settling their problems that way.
Read one earlier today about a 26 year old S. Carolina mom shot & killed in the grocery store parking lot on Valentine’s Day by a 23 year old woman, after they got into it about the right-of-way, grocery cart vs car. The mom’s 2 year old was in the car. HORRIBLE.

I wonder how many of those mgrs were WW2 vets.

I’m betting zero. They all pulled a two-bit Jimmy Hardy. Good enough for bozo FB but too weak to fight in the European or the Pacific War theatres.
But many Japanese-Americans bozo U kicked out of SUCC after PH belonged to the US Army’s 442nd Regiment; the most decorated Army unit of WWII and AMERICAN HISTORY!

USC had many WWII vets. World War II saw USC student enrollment decrease by 15 percent, and 75 faculty members marched off to war, along with more than 2,600 alumni. By 1945, 75 percent of the male student body was in uniform.
Why is JOwns such a vile person? Just a completely wasted space.

Sure sounds a full of facts statement doesn’t it. If you are not positive about what they did in the war, the best thing to do Owns, is just shut the fuck up.

That is such a stupid thing to write. You go out of your way to challenge the courage of those men who got into a school that wouldn’t respond to your request for an application. As someone who is married to a UCLA Masters graduate, don’t belittle your school’s reputation by insulting those men. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar doesn’t write like that, you wouldn’t send that post to your mother or professors at UCLA like Dr. Jean Garibaldi. Use that crap when you tweet Bill Marr.

As for why JOwns is such a vile person? I believe the answer can be summed up in one four letter word: Ucla. No matter how you cut it, not nearly as elite an education as he would have you believe.
However, depending on his favorite team’s fortunes, he is generally an upstanding, respected troll.
I could be wrong.

Ghost, with all due respect, UCLA is the #1 US public university.
Conversely, Clown U isn’t the #1 US private university. In fact, and I find this truly hilarious, Clown U wants to be the Stanford of the West.
IMHO, Jesus will ride a donkey in Times Sq. before Clown U displaces Stanford Univ. as the Stanford of the West.
BTW, appreciate your backhanded compliment.

SSSSUCC, how much of that 15% decline you quote belonged to the number of Japanese-Americans kicked out of SUCC after PH.
After performing infantile card tricks at home SUCC FB games, sophisticated, patrician, bozo students, thought World War II was just so pedestrian/ plebeian.
Beside Johnniekins “Yellow Feather” Wayne was winning the Pacific war in Burbank using just a rusty Boy Scout knife to defeat entire Japanese Infantry Divisions. Johnniekins’ didn’t need no stinking help.

For every John Wayne, I’ll give you Vada Somerville. You want to resurrect some bad moments about the Japanese Interment?

And UCLA never rehired all of their staff or professors who had to go through internment. By the way, Dr. Sammy Lee is a USC graduate and WW2 veteran. You consider him a rotten apple as well?
