Does anyone else think Garrett looks like Danny Glover? Hell he even reminds me of Glover's character in the movie Shooter. Cocky mo fo who parades around the whole movie thinking he is invincible.

Mike Garrett continues to embarrass USC

We also had Mike Garrett on, and when reflecting on the hiring of Pete Carroll a few years earlier ?- mentioning Carroll was something like the fourth choice behind Dennis Erickson, Mike Bellotti and Mike Riley ?- Garrett put a defiant stop to it.

He insisted Carroll was his first choice, and I thought he was teasing, not knowing at the time he was incapable of doing so.

When I pressed the issue, and for some reason the daughter thinks I have something to do with scaring all the guys off, Garrett wouldn't hear any of it.

He had convinced himself he had discovered Carroll right from the start, thereby resurrecting USC's football program.

Fast-forward to Garrett's delusional response to the NCAA's ruling the other night while speaking to a group of Trojans boosters in Northern California as reported by The Times' Ben Bolch.

"As I read the decision by the NCAA ? I read between the lines and there was nothing but a lot of envy,'' Garrett said. "They wish they all were Trojans."

I have no doubt he sincerely believes that.

Someone said he was telling USC boosters what they wanted to hear, but as leader of USC's athletic department at a time like this, should he sound off his rocker?

Later in his speech, he said, "Today I got a purpose for really wanting to dominate for another 10 years." He also said he felt "invigorated by all this stuff," and "with the penalty we got today I know we're bigger than life."

I have no doubt he believes USC is bigger than life.

I'm told this has been his only response to the NCAA findings to date, which leaves only one question: Why has another embarrassing day passed without USC demanding Mike Garrett's resignation?

I HAVE never thought it appropriate to advocate the dismissal of anyone in sports. Hard to argue sports is just entertainment, if you're calling for someone to be fired just because they can't win a game.

I make an exception here.

Side note: I will never understand why so many journalists, as journalists, feel that the rules of English grammar do not apply to them. I find that the lack of proper grammar in their articles makes them hard to read.

What does that say about the USC people in general?

They're a delusional group overall. They seem to be under the impression that they can take 5 early enrollees every January and another 15 in September during the probation. None of them have figured out that the 5 earlies have to count against a class somewhere which would make the total 20 and over the allowed limit.

Speaking of those people (ND).

Given the bleakness of the immediate football future for USC and the vacation of the 2005 win, anyone else think there is a giant fat man, faced smeared with BBQ sauce crying and muttering something about his poor timing somewhere at an all you can eat rib joint in Kansas City?

It seems like quite a few "journalists" either can't spell or are failed English majors who switched to Journalism because they couldn't cut it.

Or something :biggrin:
