Little Pom Pom

Knock. Knock.

Hello BN.

Long time lurker, first time - you know how it goes.

My first post, so please go easy on me.

If you guys have not seen this yet, Scott Wolf, the Trojan shill from the Daily News is worked up over this video:



That is little Pom Pom - Brendan Carroll - making an ass out of himself humiliating walk ons at University of Second Choice (warning lots of profanity in the video).

The video by the way is an official Suc video!

Wolfie is whining (may be he is getting prompted by the SuC PR dept?) that Rick Neuheisel is pointing recruits towards that video pointing it out as a "negative characteristic" of Pom Pom's program.

All the Trojies are up in arms, sniveling like little babies.

Oops. Looks like I didn't make the 200 word count. How about this?

Perspective on the $cjc education
My reward for suffering through that whole thing:

At 5:33, the graphic reads, "Of the 25 perspective walk ons.  5 made the squad."

I think the word they were shooting for was "prospective".  Never mind the period where the comma should be.  SC video production, indeed.

Retard alarm!  Retard alarm!  Retard alarm!
I don't have a retard alarm.
I just say retard alarm.

Wow
I thought this was one of those viral marketing-type ads, but I'm giving $C too much credit.  Who would okay this being an official recruitment video?  Just absurd.

And OP--welcome to the board.  I'm on the new side as well and you'll find some great stuff here.

"I Don't Have A Whistle,
I Just Say Whistle"

No kidding.

WHAT an total cartoon idiot.  No small wonder they're whining...they should be utterly humiliated.  I'm laughing myself sick here. (Why is Pete letting them record his apparently mentally deficient son play "coach," I wonder?)

Thnak you so much for posting this.

Love My Bruins

I really meant
"Thank" you.  (I don't even know what a "thnak" is, but it's possible Brennan Carroll might be one.)

Small favors
Petey's not that dumb.  There's a reason he didn't give his boy a whistle.

Just imagine if he did...

OMG!!!!!
Dude, you work for your daddy... when you do something on your own maybe then you can walk around with your chest puffed out and screaming like a sailor. Take it down a notch... you are nothing more than your father's charity case. At least the walk-ons were trying to get a job without a free pass from their pops.

His personality is exactly what I have in mind when I think of typical trojan a-hole. Actually, I am embarrassed for him.

Somebody please save that on a computer so when they realize how bad he makes the university look and then take it off of youtube, we will always have a copy.

Keep in mind
these a-holes are paying for the privilege. (Or at least pops is)

Pete Carroll looks old
Wow, Pete is beginning to really show his age.  It looks like he is wearing his PJ's.

Man that really is an
Embarrassment, thats the kind of coach no one respects.  He looks as though he thinks he demands more respect than his dad, when really the kid has done nothing at all..

Jim Healy had this guy in mind
Go the the Jim Healy tribute site -- http://www.johnspeedie.com/healy/healy.swf -- and look for "Wow, what a nerd."

This guy really, truly is why nepotism is viewed so negatively.  He has such typical justsc arrogance, which he apparently feels is justified because of something that his daddy earned.

But he sure has a pedigree as a player.  According to http://usctrojans.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/carroll_brennan00.html, he can be proud of these accomplishments:

"Carroll, 28, was a reserve tight end and key special teams player at Pittsburgh the previous 3 years (1999-2001). He caught 3 passes for 25 yards (8.3 average) as a 2000 junior, including 1 for a touchdown (a 3-yarder versus Boston College). He added a 12-yard reception as a senior in 2001. The Panthers played in the 2000 Insight.com Bowl and the 2001 Tangerine Bowl. He redshirted the 1998 season.

He spent his 1997 freshman season at Delaware, but did not see action as a reserve tight end."

Why do you suppose that his alma mater did not try to snatch him up?  And the justsc guys think he's really a "humorist."  

The more I think about it, the more I think that trOJans really do deserve each other.

The sad thing is that..
..there are some kids and some Condom fans somewhere who think that this guy -- and the video -- is the coolest thing going.
God, it's great to be a Bruin!

If you think about it
Neuheisel is playing this perfect. He is probably telling the recruits something like "hey did you check out Brendan Carroll on you tube? the guy curses like a sailor." So the recruits go to the video and its not the cursing they are turned off by, they realize how Carroll's little guy is a giant douchebag. No surprise Neuheisel is getting under these losers' skin. This is something Dorrell never did at UCLA. I love it.

Someone Should
have a little mercy on the Trojie bloggers and 'splain to them--give them a little "prospective", if you will:

"It is not the profanity or the, um, "toughness" element, (yeah, right), that makes this a total embarrassment to you, K?  It is the COMPLETE IDIOT factor, K?  Brennan is a total dumbass cartoon buffoon, K?  In addition, the video was, apparently, self-edited by this moron, because it displays a completely improper homonym* as an adjective, plus incomplete phrases as 'sentences'--errors that an average 5th-grader would recognize as incorrect. K?"

* LOOK IT UP! http://www.onelook.com/?w=homonym&loc=scworef&scwo=1&ls=a

(Just trying to show a little kindness here.)

The Tape Was a Joke, Wasn't It?
Little pc seems to be goofing with the camera and very aware he is being taped.

This seems like something done as a joke and not intended to represent the program.

No one, not even a trojan, can be that dumb.

Steve, think about it for a second.
A trOJan can absolutely be that dumb.  Exhibit A would be the blonde cheerleader.  Exhibit B ..., well, you get the picture.

Douche-Bag
I don't think we are giving Neu credit enough thinking that the only reason he has to show this tape to recruits is to point out that they would have retards screaming at them if they go to SC. Moreover, after viewing the tape, I did not find much overtly offense in Lil Pom Pom's style of "coaching" however lacking it was. This guy was just motivating these walk-ons. It's refreshing to see that they have a walk-on program I have to say.

But I think that Neu has a more nuanced argument in mind. Coupled with the Bush scandal and the imminent sanctions and the lack-luster (for SC) recruiting this year, maybe Neu is demonstrating that their whole program is heading in the wrong direction.

Certainly this tape shows that Petey engages in nepotism and is an employer of douche-bags. But I think that Neu is trying to demonstrate something else: "Go there and you will be getting screamed at by retards; come here and you will get Walker, Chow, and I." That is a powerful draw to someone concerned about a future in the NFL. The level of coaching is Neu's ace-in-th-hole at this point and to a recruit, this video shows you the quality of coaching you are getting, not just from the head coach but at every level.

If SC can't bring itself to coach walk-ons, or at least doesn't feel the need to coach them, what should a high school kid think when considering going into such a program?
