USC Morning Buzz: What A Difference Four Years Makes

It hasn’t been four years yet but many of the key figures from this classic video are either gone or taking lower profiles, like Mike Bohn, Carol Folt and Rick Caruso.

Now if we can only say the same about Lincoln Riley. The way he is viewed today is much different than the adulation that came on this day.

  • Are you surprised EA Sports does not have USC ranked in the Top 25 for its College Football 26 video game?
  • Well, you can bet this meeting was less stressful to the participants than meetings under Carol Folt.

  1. KAM: A May 2025 study from Michael Mische, a professor at the University of Southern California, said that California could see $8 prices by 2026. Following its publication, media referenced the USC study, and State Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones demanded that Gov. Mimbo avert the coming California energy crisis.

    Mische’s study is largely focused on the growing number of oil refineries leaving California, an ongoing issue that has the potential to send gas prices soaring in the long term. Earlier this year, for example, Valero announced that it plans to “idle, restructure, or cease refining operations” at its Benicia refinery by 2026, and the Phillips 66 refinery in Los Angeles is set to close this year. Mische’s study points out that fewer refineries in the state will raise gas prices because there would be fewer facilities producing oil.

    DON: Refineries are packing upand leaving Governor Mimbo’s One Party Democrat state for a number of reasons, one of the biggest being Global Warmist California’s ridiculous gas and air quality regulations.

  2. Well, again, have a great second career ‘Without-a-Folt’

    Wow, this blog suddenly got more interesting. From 4 guys who formed a ‘Hate on Eccentric Gabby’ club years ago to now ‘The-4’ saying that ‘Calypso’ is another character Eccentric created.

    Well if Calypso is Eccentric, then it is time to fight back against all the insults ‘The-4’ have levied for forever. It is time to fight back against ‘The-4’ with some zingers of our own.

    Nothing personal, but the comments from ‘The-4′ are as Mark Twain said about inane talk being of “Rural Mississippi grade’

Public Defender to Sentencing Judge in Terrorist Threat Case: “Your honor, I must ask that my client’s continuing & constant threats of death and destruction —while perhaps meeting every single legal definition of “terrorist threat”—-be seen as merely eccentric expressions of disappointment —yeah, that’s it!….that’s the word!…”eccentric”….. “

    2. The guy threatens to harm or even kill other posters, laments that the assassin’s bullet missed, posts photos of the President is dresses and ballerina outfits, calls fire victims whiners and laughs at cancer victims in hospice care, calls his own mother a prostitute, routinely talks about other posters’ wives and mothers, shares stories of his sexual perversions, constantly lies and manipulates, posts under other users names, and posted hundreds of animal videos in an attempt to drive others off the blog.

      But according to Sparrow, the guy is being picked on. Just a bit “eccentric.” No, Michael Jackson was eccentric. This guy is mentally ill. A bully who was called out and exposed as a coward.

  3. KAM: a new Gallup Poll finds that 58 percent of U.S. adults are “very” or “extremely” proud to be an American. This is a record low. For purposes of comparison consider that, in January 2001, when Gallup first ran this poll, 87 percent of those asked were very or extremely proud Americans. After 9/11, that shot up to 90 percent.

    Dismal as this drop is, at least we can say that most Americans are still proud of their country.

    DON: Not so for Democrats—not even close. From Gallup: “Democrats are mostly responsible for the drop in U.S. pride this year, with 36% saying they are extremely or very proud, down from 62% a year ago.” Republicans are at 92 percent, and independents are at 53 percent.
