UPDATE 1/25/07:We will just keep updating this post from hereon out. So now there may be a tape. Another big story on this fiasco from Yahoo report is already splashed all over the internets. We will see how this all shakes out. Trojan fan base are of course in denial and are in desperate mode to move. Whatever. Most of them are delusional freaks who will do whatever it takes so that they can root for an elite football team. One note from the LA Times story from the Trojan Times:

We will see how that turns out. At least now somone is willing to talk to the NCAA and the Pac-10. That is certainly news. Although can't say I have much confidence in the NCAA and the traditional media who so far to date haven't shown any interest whatsoever in digging into this story. As far as the issue on whether Southern Cal knew (if the allegations prove true) about Bush getting illegal gifts, the key guy to keep an eye on is McNair, former Southern Cal RB coach, who allegedly knew of Bush's involvement with New Era (as posted previously down below) before the Rose Bowl against Texas. One would think McNair might have not been free lancing in the staff of Pom Pom Carroll? Can't imagine how the Trojan Times would treat this story if this involved some superstar UCLA running back gunning for the Heisman ala Deshaun Foster? We will see how this turns out. But it's not a stretch to say something stinks in South Central. And it is amusing to see how Trojan fans are in denial and soaking up that disgusting smell. GO BRUINS.-N

9/15/06: We will get to the Bruin roundup later today.  Just when you thought we were going through a slow news week, the cheaters from Southern Cal come through. Yahoo blows the lid off Bush Gate. Charles Robinson and Jason Cole details the result of an 8 month old Yahoo investigation, which reports Bush and his family received benefits amounting to more than $100,000 from agents, while he was playing for Pom Pom. Here is Yahoo on Bush's cash and carry at Southern Cal (emphasis mine throughout): Again remember the NCAA suspended former Bruin All American LB Donnie Edwards a game for accepting a bag of groceries from agents. Here is what Bush and his family allegedly received from Orny and his associates: And that's not the end of it. There is more: Oh we are not done yet. There is more: As you can imagine most of the Trojans (except for the ones with a conscience) are in automatic denial mode. Too bad for them here is the smoking gun from Yahoo: Uh yeah. Whatever Orny.

And in case some silly Trojan tries to dismiss this by saying Southern Cal had nothing to do with this fiasco, here is Yahoo: Lack of institutional control at Southern Cal? Gee that is all news to us!

Well the beat reporters over at the LA Times , who cover Pom Pom's dirty program at Southern Cal ought to be embarrassed and ashamed of themselves for getting scooped on this story by Yahoo sports. While Trojan Alum Scott Wolf has still not touched this bomb shell, no doubt waiting for the spin coming out of Pom Pom's mouth. But we knew they were mostly incompetent toadies, just cutting and pasting Pom Pom's sweet sugary press releases proclaiming everything is all right at Southern Cal.

And, we will see how NCAA responds to this. They let free renting Dwyane Jarrett off the hook because of the excuse that his thousands of dollars of extra benefits was not coming from an agent (again someone should look into how Mr. Leinart could afford to fork up thousands of dollars of free rent just not for his ball room dancing son, but also another player. He must be millionaire!). They are not going to be able to use that excuse this time.

Whatever happens from now on ... it is undeniable that Pom Pom's Southern Cal program is tarnished. They are tarnished for rest of his tenure. Right now his credibility holds as much water as this guy has in America's sports landscape.



Cheat on Trojans. Keep waiving that Pom Pom.



It won't matter what they do this Saturday.

They will forever be known as one of the dirtiest programs in the history of college football.

GO BRUINS.
