USC Complains About ABC's Musburger
Washington Times ^ | 9-20-06 | AP

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Southern California formally complained that ABC-TV's Brent Musburger revealed privileged information in play-by-play commentary during Saturday's game against Nebraska.

The university sent a letter to ESPN, which oversees sports programming on ABC, saying Musburger, with less than 10 minutes to play and the Trojans leading 21-10, began describing how USC quarterback John David Booty lets receivers know he has spotted a certain kind of coverage.

Remember when they ran a game of the Dolphins vs. the Jets with just game sounds and no commentary?

Works for me...

Hey, if somebody divulges the info, it is fair game.

Players need to learn not to give protected information to sportscasters.

It was a coach that gave them the information on "confidential background."

The last game was oversold and people got trampled.

Now that we have that settled...let's play some FOOTBALL!

Bring it! What's Pete Carroll's motto? Oh yeah, "we'll play anyone, anytime."

Problem is, when people can't beat you, they just resort to insults and unsubstantiated accusations. Unfortunately for you, our "fags" keep beating up on your "rednecks" anyways, and they do it WITHOUT mouthing off.

Congrats! You found a picture of the stadium 4 hours before the game. If you did your homework, you'd know that USC consistently has over 90,000 at home games.

When I heard that the other night my first reaction was "typical Muffberger". (that is our nickname for him here in Nebraska) His disdain for NU is legendary around here. Everyone hates when that butthead calls a Husker game (or any other game in my opinion)

Karma is a bit*h though. Good ol' Brent got busted for open container after calling a game here last season by the Lincoln PD. That sure made alot of Husker fans very happy.

Just seeing if anyone is paying attention. Anyone out West knows that Easterners can't resist a chance to take a cheap shot at USC. Most are tired of paying good money to see their team loose when USC comes to town. Schools in the SEC take cheap shots at each other all the time. UC fans should take it as a compliment.

"If you don't want to promote this unfair stereotype, I'd suggest you not make these kinds of statements."

Ignorant no. Redneck, well yes, thank you very much. Make what you want of the stereotype, as it has positive connotations to us.

I have travelled the world, and surfed every point, beachbreak and harbor mouth from Scorpion Bay to Jalama. I've sampled your food, women and culture and found all to be, well, overrated and over-inflated. Your schools turn out the commies of the future. When I say "fag school in the GunHateState" it is with some authority. I can own any weapon that I want, including full-auto. I carry concealed every day.

Sorry that you are giving your money to that cesspool of a politically correct school. If decent folks quit supporting those idiots they would be forced to change.

USC and Oklahoma should form their own conference.

Your picture shows the turnstile end of the collusium. If you pay attention to your own picture, you'll see the gradstand in front. The collosium holds 96,000. The turnstile end is too far from the goal line, so the team has cut about 10,000 seats to allow fans a better view., But you probably knew that didn't you.
