Did anyone go to the 2-hour fan appreciation today?
Did you get Lincon Riley’s autograph? Was he there? Some key players were missing.
But Chad Bowden jumped off the diving platform. Not kidding.
- Mason Edwards struck out 16 and allowed only 3 hits in 8.1 innings vs. Iowa last night, as USC snapped its four-game losing streak with a 9-2 victory.The teams played today at 2 p.m.
- Guard Rodney Rice will return to USC next season. This could be significant because he averaged 20 points in six games last season — provided he fully recovers from shoulder surgery.
- Former USC swimmer Nancy Garapick has passed away. She was a two-time broze medalist int he 1976 Olympics and world-record holder in the 200-meter backstroke. She was 64.

More importantly, did Scott go. It was free. How about Scott reporting on who was at the Fan Appreciation event. Congrats to the baseball team for bouncing back with a win. Great pitching. I like Bowden’s spirit. Fight on, Dan, Class of 1962

KAM: Nancy Garapick was one of Canada’s greatest swimmers ever. She finished behind two steroid powered East Germans, Ulrike Richter (gold), Birgit Treiber (silver), or she would have won two gold medals in the 100 and 200 backstroke at the Summer Games in Montreal in 1976 at the age of 14.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xixs0fRMbVY…
DON: Post‑reunification evidence from Stasi files and later investigations showed that East Germany ran a state-sponsored doping program (State Plan 14.25) that systematically administered anabolic steroids to many elite athletes, including swimmers from the 1976 cohort—implicating athletes such as Ulrike Richter and Birgit Treiber.The International Olympic Committee (IOC) stripped the East Germans of their medals, but Garapick was not retroactively awarded the golds.
She later won a relay bronze at the 1978 World Championships, five medals at the 1979 Pan American Games, and she was selected to the 1980 Olympic team before Canada boycotted the Games over the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan. So she was ripped off again!
She swam collegiately in the United States at USC and retired from competition in 1983 with 17 national titles.
After her swimming career, she worked as a teacher in the remote Yukon.
In 2008, she was inducted into the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame . But nothing from USC, who named a track after Allyson Felix, an athlete who never competed for USC!

interesting that the Right constantly overlooks the fact that out the OVERWHELMING majority of commerce, art, culture and philosophy are all BLUE states. by FAR the most educated, wealthy and enlightened populations!! whereas the Red states gives us interminable miles of trailer trash and the poorly educated (Trunph’s favorites) who and take FAR more from the country than they contribute!!! can you imagine the trash heap this country would be without LA, NY, PA, IL??? we’d be begging Canada and Mexico for handouts!!

PS: the only State in danger of submerging is FLA!!! which is why real estate is collapsing!!! you can get waterfront condos FL for $150K with prices still dropping!!! but even if you moved there you’d have to self-insure since no carriers will sell you a policy!! bottom line, all Republicans should move to Blue States!!!

KAM: : Census Bureau data shows some things that may put the whole issue into clearer focus for even an ignorant poltroon like yourself.
What we found was that millions aren’t just moving out of Blue states, but are moving out of Blue counties within states. T r u m p won 2,589 counties in each of the past three elections.
From 2020 to 2025, those counties gained 5.4 million people due to net migration — which measures how many people move into and out of an area.
The 433 counties where H i l l a r y C l i n t o n, J o e B i d e n, and K a m a l a H a r r i s carried the day saw a net loss of 5.43 million people. And the 121 counties in which T r u m p won at least one of the past three elections saw a net gain of 29,000 people over those years.
By FAR the most educated, wealthy and enlightened are FLEEING all the Blue States for Red States, leaving all the stupid, poor, unenlightened people like you and your illegal alien pals, resulting in a death spiral as the stupid people are not rejected as unfit to even be 3rd grade chalk board monitor but are instead promoted to positions of power and authority like E r i c- b o S w a l l w e l l, G a v i n Mimbo, Anthony Grabyourspousa and Karen Bass Face.

Took them more than FOUR YEARS to figure out what we already knew in 2020. They are not the brightest folks around. They love to lie to themselves about that.
Smart, informed people were not one bit surprised that night.

There’s a “Gold Rush” in Miami as ultra-wealthy buyers snap up mega-mansions and luxuriously appointed condos as soon as they hit the market; and the Guardian has also reported recently on the Mandani and Spanberger Effect of elite New Yorkers and Virginians arriving in the sunshine state with bulging pocketbooks in search of a high-priced escape from the NYC’s Muslim Socialist mayor and Virginia’s far left kook CIA Spook Governor.
