Trojan Times "Reports" On Lame Kitten By Bringing Up Neuheisel's Past

PrintChris Dufresne from the Trojan Times doesn't waste any time from towing the company line as he reports on Lamey's hire by drudging up Neuheisel's past:
[N]ow he'll be matched in town against UCLA's Rick Neuheisel -- who wrote the book on not going by the book, to the tune of 50-odd (some of them very) secondary violations while he was at Colorado.
And now these two bright, young, innovative coaches will meet on the field next season -- both possibly on "Animal House" double-secret probation.
Dufresne conveniently forgets to mention Neuheisel's spotless track record (to date) since he arrived at UCLA. Neither does he mention how ridiculous some of those allegations were against Neuheisel which has been discussed ad nausea over the years. Meanwhile, Bill Splashme is trying hard to sound "skeptical" (probably after getting eviscerated and exposed in recent days for his fawning all over Petey) but can't hide his true colors while oggling over Orgeron:
Orgeron is the "real deal", a main cog in the rebuilding of the Trojans culture. But his tough-guy ways worked best in contrast to Carroll's nurturing ways. Will he resonate as much when backed by a head coach who has not yet been around long enough to nurture?
Real deal? He calls him a real deal while rest of the world was watching and reading about this (being fully aware of Orgeron's strange (we will leave it at that for now) recruiting tactics over the years. These guys have never hid their true colors and it shines through even more glaringly in times like this.
GO BRUINS.

Come on, what did you expect
The love affair between the fishwrap and just$c isn’t news.
I suppose we need one person with a strong stomach to continue to read it so we can print the truth in rebuttal, but the fact is that the ’wrap needs to be put out of business, and the way to do that is to vote it out. Vote with your wallets. No money to the wrap. No money to wrap advertisers. No free passes to the press box or the locker room for ’wrap “reporters.”
But of course that will never happen. When history is ignored, it is the same as being re-written. When intellectual midgets blink at reality and report that Cheatie is all that’s right with college football, it’s no different than erasing all his cheating from the books. That’s not right, but that is, in fact, reality. Reality lives here, in my opinion.
Just read Chris Fishwrap's whole article
and aside from the two unnecessary, gratuitous swipes at Neuheisel’s past, most of it did focus rather closely on Kiffin’s shortcomings, arrogance, and recent, ahem, accomplishments (already 0-1 with a “home loss” to UCLA, being called a “liar” by Al Davis – takes one to know one, I s’pose, his recruiting affinity for “Hostess-Twinkies” that sort of thing. Don’t worry, Fox, I haven’t subscribed since they closed up their San Diego shop in the early 90s, and wouldn’t pay for a copy since they went neo-tabloid about 2-3 years ago now. But what I would give for Jim Healy to be alive, well, and broadcasting while this load of red and yellow excrement was striking the oscillating ventilation appliance.
The Mad Bruin
my guess is
‘twas smarmy homage to “impartial reporting;” think Joe Klein pieces during the period from 2001-2008 or (the late) Tim Russert’s soft-ball MTP interviews of V.P. Cheney during the same period

Eddie O
is as dirty as they come. He has always fit in perfectly at suc. The man can recruit but he does it in unethical ways.
Chrissy Dufresne's BS
Nestor already pointed it out, but I was going to post about Dufresne’s implication that BOTH programs—UCLA and $C—might be on “double-secret probation” next year.
WTF? Where does that BS come from? (It’s a rhetorical question, folks. I know the LAT is biased.)
Just a rediculas comment with no basis or merit
CRN has not only been a spotless coach for us at UCLA, but he’s had to pay his dues for what amounts to nothing. What has Kiffin ever had to take a step back? When has this guy done anything to merit even being considered on CRN’s level? This is another ignorant rant from a fishwrap that is in trouble and who’s team is become a national disgrace.
