Well, points for finding neutral ground... but, yeah, there's nothing more annoying than a bunch of smart kids that think they're more clever than they really are.
Of course, being the product of 13 years of public university education, I probably have a bias or two against 'em. That... and they turned my ass down 3.5 times along the way.![]()
Well, that was less painful than expected.
So... there's that.
Yeah, I didn't expect them to win, but it was closer than I expected it to be.
There's always next year!!
I coached my daughter's soccer tournament all weekend so I didn't see any of the game. I was surprised by the close score and then by Plaschke's positive column about the game (after that crappy column the day before about Norm going back to 'SC!). Maybe Skippy can build on it.
Hey Joe, how is law school (it is law school right??)? How you liking 'DC? I was born in Alexandria and always loved it there.
He makes some good comments in the article. It's true that USC is so loaded with players that he might or might not get a chance to play. We will probably see this trend to continue as players are not even starting to transfer from USC to school where they can crack the line up weekly.
Scout.com's Tracy Pierson notes that this COULD represent a turning point in LA college football.
It's pretty rare this decade for an elite kid to verbal to USC early and switch to the lowly Bruins. Presley is legitimately the best player at his position in the nation, and a local. And because of uncertainties at USC (offensive scheme, recruiting violations, playing time) you're starting to see top recruits consider alternatives. It helps that you have Neuheisel/Chow when you're trying to recruit an offensive player to UCLA.
Furthermore, Presley and Brehaut may tag-team recruit other area players to UCLA. Presley's high profile will influence other kids' decisions, particularly locals.
