If he's a great recruiter, then this is a perfect gig for him

He’s got a lot of recruiting to do, for sure. Which will certainly be different at just$c*. The last recruiting coup we heard about was how OJ2 managed to recruit Timmeh. And I just love that o’l story. It’s so human and so abolutely believable.

you can always count on The Trojan Times

funny isn’t it? everything I’ve read and everything I’ve heard is that SUC hired the wrong guy or that for their circumstances, this is the best they can get…

Trojan Times actually loves this guy…

Why wouldn’t they? Plaschke and Simers are still campaigning and waiting for their SUC invitation to speak at one of them SUC graduations…

Okay I can only take so much

“Ben Howland with a sharper edge”??? WHAT? Is he paid by the trOJan athletic department to spin things their way? What am I saying? Of course he is! This is the trOJan Times so I shouldn’t be surprised about anything they “report”

How about

“Ben Howland with a Losing Record”—-does that work better? Works for me.

Surprised no one else caught it

But Splashme basically admitted to knowing full-damn well what U$C* is doing:

If that is the case, then perhaps the Trojans are working so hard to clean out the basketball program in hopes that the NCAA will leave the football program alone.

And yet, why the hell aren’t we hearing anything on the subject from the LA Times?

It’s one thing to bury your head in the sand and pretend you don’t know what’s happening, as I assumed Splashme was doing, but to know exactly the game the shadiest athletic program in the country is running, and to say nothing of it, is absolutely f**king pathetic.

But pathetic is exactly what I’d expect from Splashme.

Yeah

Saw that too. The dude is such a tool that I didn’t feel like committing a whole post picking apart his drivel. But if someone wants to give this thorough look go for it. I just though that comment on its own was so comedic that it pretty much let us know right there how the idiot was writing up this story.

A "Legendary" Recruiter?

Seriously, no offense, but…isn’t that a bit too much for this guy? He’s actually a legend?

Love My Bruins

Maybe he is a legendary recruiter.

I don’t happen to know who he recruited, but if the fishwrap says he’s legendary, then he must be legendary.

Or maybe they mean it a different way. Maybe he recruited Paul Bunyan (big man, a little slow, but at 57 feet tall, he’s a presence in the middle), and Pecos Bill (flleetfooted little guard, needs to break the habit of wearing six-shooters on the court). He would have recruited Rip Van Winkle, too, but Rip slept through his alarm (again.) You would have to admit those recruits are legends.
