First, USC has to beat UCLA. It's been waaayyy to quiet over at Westwood this week (makes me nervous :o)). Dorrell picking Cowan to start gives me flashbacks of the John Barnes (5th string walk on) led 1992 upset over USC.

So whatever happened to the Reggie Bush play-for-pay scandal? Why is this non-existent in the media now? Did his parents finally get their own place?

Bret Bielema was the right guy for them to hire after Alvarez retired.

In doing your simulations, keep this in mind. Nobody can cover Dwayne Jarrett with single coverage. He'll beat anyone one on one. He's tough enough with double coverage.
But, if you double cover him, Steve Smith is out there alone.
OSU will need 12 men on the field to stop USC's passing attack, or at least slow it down.
To: Dog Gone
I could say the same about USC vs. Ohio State's passing attack.

Did his parents ever get a place of their own. I guess the media got the word from on high not to broach the subject?

Whatever happened to this? Still in litigation? Anthing been uncovered? Bad for business (college football at USC) to bring it up I guess.

The controversial Spring Valley house once occupied by Reggie Bush's parents has been put on the market for $775,000 and is being advertised as the famous Reggie Bush house in its real estate listing.
The ad reminds potential buyers that the 3,002-square-foot residence on Apple Street was seen on ESPN, CNN, MSNBC, Sports Illustrated and inside the sports page of almost every newspaper in the country!
The history behind the house is generating a ton of interest, said Daniel Ellis, a real estate agent for Assist2Sell Realty. It's mentioned in all the ads we have, and it is a selling tool. People are familiar with it, and it will draw them to the house and get them to take a look at it.
After living there for about a year, Bush's parents moved out in April after being accused by the owner, Michael Michaels, of not having paid $54,000 in rent. That triggered an NCAA investigation that could jeopardize their son's Heisman Trophy and cause USC to forfeit games in which Bush played.
Michaels was an investor in a fledgling sports marketing agency that sought to represent Bush. NCAA rules prohibit its athletes and their family members from accepting benefits from agents.
The NCAA investigation remains in a holding pattern while the attorney for the agency, Brian Watkins, said he is still compiling information for a pending fraud lawsuit against Bush and his parents. He has accused the family of taking about $300,000 in expenses from the agency's investors but signing with another agency instead.
The ball is in one of their two courts, said Ron Barker, the Pac-10 Conference's associate commissioner for governance and enforcement. Either (Watkins) files suit, or it's up to the NCAA to say enough time has gone by and to proceed with the investigation.
NCAA investigations sometimes take years if other litigation gets in the way. Barker worked with the NCAA when it investigated Michigan's Fab Five basketball players in a case that spanned 10 years.
Bush has denied his family did anything wrong and said details would emerge later.
Michaels bought the house in 2005 for $757,000. He did not return a call seeking comment.
It's been lived in only a short time, Ellis said. It's basically a model home.

I don't know.
I think the investigations and all that are still on-going.
I don't think it will affect USC this year however.

The Trojans need to win Saturday to make eight straight wins just to avenge the Bruin's 90's win streak. Doubtless coach PC will publicly play down the rivalry history. But you know that theme is playing in the back of their minds...

So was Alabama and Miami.
If there is something there that they can pin on the school, the school will take a hit.
But it still won't affect this year. It will affect them and their results for 2005....

Maybe the press doesn't think it's newsworthy?? Of course they don't. Big revenue generating games coming up for a chose college program and the TV stations. Why would they want to shoot the golden goose?

I was there that day. Just turned 10 the day before. My first SC game in person. I went to the Notre Dame game last weekend- my most recent.
To: rockthecasbah
We love to be hated Not so fast my football friend. It's the media and the power players I hate, not USC. Some teams get a pass and it isn't their fault. Nor Notre Dames, or Ohio States or MIchigan or Penn State. I probably left someone out.
