Don Clark gets carried on the shoulders of his players after USC’s season-opening 21-0 victory over Oregon State.
- USC running back Don Buford breaks free on run vs. UCLA in 1958.
- The Sports Arena in January, 1959, just six months before its official opening.
- There’s always something being filmed at USC and 1959 was no different. This is a TV movie called “You’re Only Young Once.” The woman who is sitting is actress Patricia Blair, who became well-known to audiences in the 1960’s as a regular on “The Rifleman” and “Daniel Boone.”
- Imagine if someone in this picture turned to USC student Tom Selleck (far left) and said, “In 58 years, you’ll be doing reverse mortage commercials.”
InsideUSC with Scott Wolf 
I bet at the time that picture was taken Selleck had no idea he would be a big-time t.v. and movie star

Well, you know Scott, if he sees a pretty rainbow he will look for the one flaw– that red is not very crisp.
Although I don’t believe he is that way in “real life,” but like an actor he has a schtick

Professional basket and football players in 1959 needed a second job after the season to make ends meet. There is more integrity and human worth among men who have to work hard to make the rent each month,
or as a friend once told me, “We all are born with class and no prejudice, but money destroys our innate class whereby we suddenly feel superior to the common potpurri

Darn if that ‘Tirebiter-fellow’ didn’t get me thinking about Que Sera Sera-
Mind you, the melody of this song is so sweet you don’t even need words
But the words, oh my, this was the thinking back in the 60s and 70s I guess:
says “a little girl, will I be pretty, will I be rich?
or the boy, “Will I be handsome, will I be rich?
-And on love–
“When I grow up and fall in love, I asked my sweetheart,
“What lies ahead, will we have rainbows day after day”
No wonder the American divorce rate is running 50%– who can live up to these ideals
Pretty or handsome?- that eliminates about 90% of us no matter what your girl tells u
And rainbows every day stuff has never been lived by any American couple since at least the Civil War

Ucla in the finals? Who knew? Pauley Pavilion holds just under 13k fans and the Rose Bowl holds just over 89k fans yet Ucla continues to send a basketball crowds to football games.
Let’s do the math; if Ucla earns $50 per ticket for a football game, and 13k people show up for 6 home games Ucla is still going to owe 6.1 million to its big brother up north. Thanks Newsum (see what I did there?) Go Bruins Basketball!!

TIREBUMMER, a hard elbow to the face really hurts in BB, ’cause BB players don’t wear helmets equipped with face guards.
Factually, a BB player is better conditioned athletically than a comparable FB player.
I’d like to see a any FB player run for 5 uninterrupted minutes up and down a court and play good enough offense and defense w/o the coach having to call time out so the FB players won’t collapse from useless exhaustion.

Damn Me, why worry about UCLA finances, when you should be worrying about the crummy men’s BB head coach Clown U currently has in the saddle.
BTW, Pauley Pavilion holds 13k and change and is frequently sold out. Just saying for a friend.
Hell, the SUCC Athletic dept. has a cosmic, immaculate, ejaculation if the Chicken Coop is ever 30% full; the UCLA game being the exception.
Bottom line Ghost, UCLA 29 – 4; bozo BB 22 – 10. The bozo BB season is a success because the bozos defeated UCLA in their second meeting, @ the Chicken Coop.
UCLA’s focus is always winning the P-12 title, the P-12 Championship and the NCAA Tournament.
Winning or losing to SUCC men’s BB is nothing more to UCLA than stepping on the bottom rung of a tall ladder. SUCC BB in near cupcake competition.
Cue and Loop: the Elite Eight game featuring bozo BB vs Gonzaga.

TIREDBUMMER, please define “real men.” I’m pretty sure your definition and my definition are not congruent.
In rebuttal re: your bombastic “real men,” BS.
During last year’s P-12 Championship game, your H/T winning QB, CW, hurt himself. He was able to continue (In fact, refused to leave the game) at about 60% of his capability. Sooooooo SUCC winds up SUCC’ing hind titty in an ugly choka, choka, choka, come from ahead loss.
Had CW suffer the same injury in a BB game, even in an Andyain’twinning cupcake game, he could not have continued. The game of BB is too fast; too relentless for a one-legged glory hog.
Lastly sir, Clown U FB breeds tiresome, loud-mouthed bullies. Bullies are AH’s, not “real men” in my humble opinion.

No, now days its always a ref’s fault or some extraneous cause like injury, opponent luck, or some loser bozo coach’s mistake for bozo debacles.
SUCC rah-rah’s like yourself always have a two-bit excuse for its “the joke that chokes” losing.
UCLA doesn’t make excuses; never has, never will.
