Mike Garrett: The Gift That Keeps On Giving

Mike Garrett has to be the biggest tool to have ever walked this planet. Tonight at a SC boosters dinner in NorCal, the LA Times is reporting that he said the following (be advised, the arrogance might shock you, even coming from a Trogan):
"As I read the decision by the NCAA," he told the group, "… I read between the lines and there was nothing but a lot of envy. They wish they all were Trojans."
Oh but that's not at all my friends. He then put up this gem:
"Later, he added: "Today I got a purpose for really wanting to dominate for another 10 years."
And finally, in a coup de grace, he spewed:
Garrett said he "felt invigorated by all this stuff" because he had wondered how big the USC brand was and "with the penalty we got today I know we're bigger than life."
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Trogandom in a nutshell.
Link for anyone who cares to verify that this isn't some huge hoax.

Question for any psychiatrist out there.
Is there such a phenomenon where an entire group of people (ie, USC) has en mass delusions of grandeur to the point of psychosis?

"with the penalty we got today I know we're bigger than life."
wow. WOW!!! By that logic I guess the NCAA is bigger than life as well being that they are bigger than you right Mikey?
Oh UCLA you sweet bitch, you've BRUINed me for anything else.
BREAKING NEWS: U$C Athletic Director Mike Garrett's ego will apply for statehood today.
If granted, it would become the 51st State in the Union, and 5th largest.

Garrett then went off topic and addressed the OJ murder case
“OJ is a friend of mine and yes he killed some people but the man was a Heisman Trophy winner. Anyone who says he belongs in prison is just a hater.”

GET THESE QUOTES TO THE NCAA!
Somebody please forward these quotes plus Lame Kitty’s quotes to the NCAA to guide them through the appeals process.
Everyboy just e-mail the
quotes to the members of the Appeals Committee.
Should be hard to find their e-mail addresses, most public people.
"Bigger Than Life"
Well, has there ever been a more definitive antithesis to Coach’s teachings?

what a palooka
Any sc fan should be embarrassed by this bozo. Act like an adult, admit your wrong doing, accept your punishment, apologize to: a) your current student athletes, b) your fans and c) the opposing players that you cheated against for years.
That would be the classy thing to do. Oh wait…never mind.

Amen, brother.
If there is any embarrassment, which is unlikely, it’s only because they got caught. They can’t be embarrassed because they have no sense of shame.
WITH THAT I
…move the BN Council reconsider formal debate on the “Dignity of Westwood Act” — a draft resolution that proposes the complete and permanent disassociation of disgraced UCLA Alum from the school by supermajority. The coulncil would put the vote to all Bruins in good standing with the campus.
Do I have a second?

Sounds perfect.
Hubris (also hybris; pronounced /ˈhjuːbrɪs/) means extreme haughtiness or arrogance. Hubris often indicates being out of touch with reality and overestimating one’s own competence or capabilities, especially for people in positions of power. [from wikipedia]
“hubrisc” = hubris + arrogance + denial by a trogan.
Garrett has heart ...
Asked if he was worried about his job, Garrett patted the reporter on the chest and said, “I’m just worried about your job. You do a good job.”
That's a threat
I doubt the journalist’s employer will call Garrett on that threat.
Give me a break
I guess the reason we stood during the galen center UCLA-USC womens basketball game was because USC is bigger than life. And i guess the reason he personally came over and lectured us to sit down was because we were envious and wanted to be trojans, and trojans fans sit on their hands and don’t do crap to support their team.

I have a feeling that...
this is all part of a plan.. This is probably the worse PR job I’ve seen in a long while. So Garrett probably blew off the press on purpose to make sure they publish everything he says. suc probably told him that they’re gonna pay him big bucks to throw him under the bus. This will make it look like they’re “cleaning out the house” and trying to make an effort in the appeal process.
You May Have Something There
It’s just so, so over the top. This could be a pretty sophisticated orchestration, and, frankly, it could work to some extent, because Garrett is at the top of that food chain.
Worrisome, this.

I sure hope not
They need to realize that their current “head coach” and his hunchback, I mean, henchman, were also part of the staff during the infraction years and were heavily involved in recruiting.
These sanctions are barely at the limit of significance for the infractions committed, and reducing them would greatly reduce their effectiveness.
But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
With all the conference shake-ups
wouldn’t this be a great time to simply dump Just$c? I’m sure they could be convinced to go along and go the independant route.
By Mikey's logic
if these sanctions show that U$C* is bigger than life…
then maybe…
the NCAA should give them the death penalty to show that U$C* is divine!
But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.

(BTW, May God
please strike me dead if I ever, ever feel envy for that steaming pile of excrement called “USC,” or come within a country mile of “wishing I were a Trojan.”)
Mike: NOBODY wants to be a Trojan now…get it? Do you wish you were OJ Simpson now? Or Joran Van der Sloot?
