Hello Kiffin's "10 Minute" Rule

PrintSo this popped up in the LA Times today:
Trojans Coach Lane Kiffin said that in the three years since he last recruited for USC, not much had changed in the players that choose the Bruins over the Trojans.
"I watched it over the weekend, just to see if it's the same, and it's really still the same," he said. "I guess we waste time continuing to recruit them. We know within the first 10 minutes whether they're the type of guys that want to play here or there."
Actually this is something we can all totally agree with Hello Kiffin. It doesn't take 10 minutes to figure out who is a Bruin:

Doesn't take 10 seconds to figure out who is a classic Bruin. We don't have clown posing as "student" athletes embarrassing themselves in front of the entire country fitting right in with the fun love (alleged) criminals from cross town:
I mean I can't blame kids like Dieterich Riley and Jordan Zumwalt wanting no part of Kiffin and Ogre's thugshow where the head coach thinks preening around half naked is cool or something.
Doesn't take 10 seconds to separate Bruins from Hello Kiffin's Trogans.
GO BRUINS.

Ooooh ... I see a potential game here
If you have second thoughts of signing your LOI because you team is facing sanctions, you are not a Bruin.
Sounds like a new thread. Like Jeff Foxworthy;
“You might be a Trogan if…”
I submit:
1. You might be a Trogan if you can’t spell LOI even when spotted the “L” and the “I”.
2. You might be a Trogan if your LOI comes with a receipt of deposited funds.
If the State of Nevada is paying your room and board,
you might be a Trogan.

If you take a Ballroom Dancing class
because of the intellectual challenge, you might be a Trogan.
But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
If your free Ferrari . . .
is taking up too much space in the garage of your free house, you might be a Trogan.
If you watch a McDonald’s commercial, and say to yourself: “that clown’s colors look good,” you might be a Trogan.
If the NCAA Compliance Dept has you on speed-dial, you might be Trogan.
If you’re using “If I Did It” by OJ Simpson as a self-help book, you might be a Trogan.

Here's one
3. You might be a trogan if you are sitting in the cellblock waiting to see the duty magistrate.
WORD
Spin it all they want ‘cross town. Spin spin spin is what they do best. If things don’t go their way, project their angst and frustration and blame onto the rising ranks of UCLA. Go ahead trogans. We are going to take the high road. And thank God for Owa’s mother and other parents who sensed the toxicity/slippery culture of $c regardless of their football “tradition” and “heritage”, these young men made the right choice for their future. Let Lame Kitty take his pot shots at the recruits he lost; It only reveals the disrespectful, unsportsman and immature snake he is – Again, trogans spin his personality as “competitive”. In DSM terms (psychologists, LCSWs, and psychiatrists know what this is), HISTRIONIC comes to mind. The proof is in the pudding, 5-10-20-30-40 years down the road, compare the lives of student-athletes coming out of $c vs. UCLA. ’Nuff said.
Appreciate the order of his words
“to get my degree and play football.” Nice.
We didn't want those guys anyway
We never really wanted them, I don’t know why we even wasted our time desperately trying to recruit them. I knew they were losers, I mean Bruins in the first ten seconds. Guess I just wanted to recruit them for fun then.
-Lame
The guy is such a dunce, and he is dense enough to think the rest of the world is even less competent.
Lame's view of recruiting
Yeah, I can tell in about 10 seconds if they are dumb enough to believe what I tell them, or if they can see past my b.s.
Interesting
I read elsewhere that Lame is a “10 second” guy and not a “10 minute” guy.
Just something I read.
Ten minutes!!
Wow, I can’t believe it would take Lamey that much time. CRN can tell in 1 minute if a player is going to sign with UCLA or USC. How? All CRN has to do is call the LAPD or local authorities and see if a player has a criminal record, call the school district and check to see if the student actually attends class……………if any of the two apply, the are Trojans all the way.
That's okay Kiffy
Don’t waste any time on UCLA targets. That’s makes it all the easier to hold on to them. As for YOUR targets, I’m sure that Mr Shirley and Mr. Riley can attest that Neuheisel will relentlessly pursue them all they way to the end.

Anyone been to practice?
What are our practices like now vs. Dorrell era? While Kiffin is obviously a complete jackass, I think he makes a point worth discussing. I hope our culture has changed since CTS, while retaining the high character guys.
Practices are much improved
Coaches are on the players much more and don’t accept mediocre effort or poor performance. As a result, players are working harder and getting things done quicker, which allows the whole team to move onto the next thing and get more done in a practice. Practices are also more physical and a guy doesn’t get 15 chances to do something right. if he screws up, the next guy is in. That has really enhanced the competition.
