USC Trojans (official thread)

USC LB Osa Masina being investigated for allegedly drugging, raping same woman twice

More details have emerged regarding the off-field situation involving Osa Masina, and, suffice to say, they don’t paint a very flattering portrait of the USC football player. At all.

Earlier this week, it was reported that Masina was under investigation in both California and his home state of Utah amidst allegations of sexual assault. TMZ.com has obtained a copy of the search warrant used by police in Los Angeles to search Masina’s Los Angeles apartment as well as the linebacker’s phone. A DNA sample was also obtained from Masina.

It’s alleged that Masina raped the same woman in both Los Angeles and Utah on two separate occasions back in July. It’s further alleged that Masina took photos and videos of the alleged sexual assault and sent them to the alleged victim’s ex-boyfriend via Snapchat.

One of Masina’s Trojan teammates, fellow linebacker Don Hill, is also mentioned in the warrant, although it’s unclear if he’s the subject of a police investigation as well.

From TMZ‘s report on the first alleged rape, which the woman claims took place July 14 in Los Angeles…

The woman told police Masina gave her a couple Xanax pills throughout the day. The woman says she had also been drinking alcohol, including wine by the pool and chugging Captain Morgan at a frat party.

After the frat party, the woman claims she was taken to Hill’s apartment — but insists she was “out of it” due to the Xanax and the booze. However, she remembers smoking weed.

“The next thing the victim recalls is having sex with Osa Chad Masina,” the search warrant says. The woman claims she remembers Masina “holding her head and putting her mouth on his penis” while Hill had vaginal sex with her.

… and the second alleged rape, this one July 26 in Utah:

The woman claims she passed out and awoke to see him on top of her, engaging in anal sex with her. She also says he forced oral sex.

The woman says she woke up the next morning in pain and went to police, and a rape kit was administered.

Every damn time I get drunk and pass out around this guy, the s.o.b. rapes me.

I'm beginning to think I can't trust him.

Girlfriend: Matt Boermeester’s dismissal by USC ‘horrible, unjust’

630816482-e1486554000820.jpg


A sketchy, shadowy situation involving a prominent former member of USC’s football program has added another layer.

Earlier this month, USC confirmed that, following a Title IX investigation, Matt Boermeester would not be returning to the team “because of a student code of conduct issue.” The announcement came a few months after, in early February, USC announced that an unspecified code of conduct issue had led to the placekicker’s indefinite suspension.

This weekend, Zoe Katz, Boermeester’s 22-year-old girlfriend and Trojans tennis player, publicly lashed out at the university’s decision, describing her still-current boyfriend’s removal from the team as “horrible and unjust” while saying the school’s Title IX probe made her feel “misled, harassed, threatened and discriminated against.” In the same statement, she stated that Boermeester “has been falsely accused of conduct involving me.”

The alleged incident that led to this turn of events was reported by a neighbor of Katz’s who was a member of the men’s tennis team to his head coach, who in turn reported the allegations to the school’s Title IX office.

From the Los Angeles Times:

Katz said she and Boermeester have dated for more than a year. The Title IX investigation began, Steigerwalt said, after a neighbor witnessed Boermeester and Katz roughhousing. The neighbor told his roommate, who told a coach in USC’s athletic department that Boermeester was abusing Katz. The coach then reported the incident to the Title IX office.

Katz said she was summoned to a mandatory meeting with Title IX officials, where she told investigators that the two were playing around. Katz was subsequently told that she “must be afraid of Matt,” she said. She told officials she was not. Boermeester has not been arrested or charged with a crime.

“When I told the truth about Matt, in repeated interrogations, I was stereotyped and was told I must be a ‘battered’ woman, and that made me feel demeaned and absurdly profiled,” Katz said. “I understand that domestic violence is a terrible problem, but in no way does that apply to Matt and me.”

Katz said that she has “never been abused, assaulted or otherwise mistreated by Matt.”



“Matt Boermeester did nothing improper against me, ever,” Katz said. “I would not stand for it. Nor will I stand for watching him be maligned and lied about.'

Pete Carroll ‘couldn’t stop crying’ after watching blind USC long-snapper play in game

1504427225648.jpg


One of the most heartwarming stories you’ll ever see continues to give, even after the first week of the 2017 college football season has been put to bed.

In 2009, the Pete Carroll-led USC Trojans football team essentially adopted Jake Olson, a teenage fan at the time suffering from cancer of the retina in his right eye (he lost his left eye when he was less than one year old). It was subsequently determined that Olson would need the right eye removed; on his final day of sight prior to the surgery that would leave him blind for the rest of his life, he chose to attend a Trojans football practice.

Fast-forward a few years, and Olson walked on to the USC football team as a long-snapper in 2015. He took his first live-drill reps with the Trojans in September of that year, then snapped for the team in the 2016 spring game. While he didn’t see any real-game action either year, Saturday, at the end of USC’s closer-than-expected win over Western Michigan, Olson finally got to take his place on the field in an actual game with the rest of his special teams teammates as the long-snapper on an extra point — thanks in large part to a very classy assist from WMU head coach Tim Lester.

Watching from afar was Carroll, now the head coach of the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks. Following practice Monday, Carroll spent a significant period of time discussing just what it meant for Olson to play in a college football game, saying in part that he “couldn’t stop crying” because of what he had witnessed.

Nice story. But forgive me if I pass on the inevitable 10 minute, melodramatic Gameday story complete with dramatic music and hushed voices.
