The Crosstown Rivalry Has Neighborly Edge

I hear new UCLA football coach Bob Chesney has purchased a home that makes him neighbors with a member of the USC Board of Trustees.

  • I’ve mentioned a couple new stories I heard about former USC president John Hubbard the past two weeks so for any newbies, here is my favorite Hubbard story courtesy of long-time USC assistant coach Dave Levy.

After USC played Notre Dame in the early 1970’s, Hubbard flew back to Los Angeles on the team plane.

But then he disappeared for two weeks.

“They couldn’t find him,” Levy said. “They eventually found him in Germany on a bender.”

Those were the days. Before social media. Or cell phones. A member of the Board of Trustees at the time told Levy that Hubbard was warned to change his behavior after the incident or risk being fired. Hubbard ended serving until 1980.

    1. You know it Ed, they are just around the corner from you and the missus. Give Chesney a few highballs and ask him where they are getting the $$$ to pay all those 4 stars they never could recruit before.

      6. Foster’s buyout IS $5M. They’ll finish paying it by the end of the 2028 season.

        And yes, he may have a requirement to look for another job, so it may end up being “offset” by some amount. I doubt anyone would pay him even half of what he was making, though.

  2. Great story on Hubbard Scott. Many of the great ones loved the drink – Churchill, U.S. Grant, Mickey Mantle, Bobby Lane, Bear Bryant, ect. USC was a better place when Hubbard was at the helm.

      3. KAM: The real lush of the Rat Pack was Peter Lawford.

        DON: He had his own suite at the top of the old UCLA Medical Center. In those days they couldn’t do liver transplants so Lawford went downhill slowly but surely and died at the young age of 61.

        67: It was a failed attempt by Cowardly Gabby to save face. I challenged him to a boxing match, not an illegal street fight, in a gym in Pasadena. Gabby said this was too much of an advantage – my home gym in my neighborhood. People on the board mock him for this contrived excuse. He then posted under the alias of Frank Young that we should split the distance between Pasadena and Las Vegas and meet in Barstow. When asked where, Cowardly Gabby said the McDonald’s parking lot off Highway 15. No boxing gym, an illegal street fight. Obviously, he had no intention of meeting me for a boxing match.

        DON: BWWWWWWWWWAHAHAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!

      16. Not only that, but suffers from dementia. Again, guilty of something she always accuses others.

        Ed G. came up with her great new name less than a week ago. Of course I abbreviated it, but wouldn’t have thought of it without Ed.
