The Los Angeles basin is nothing but 'being about hype'. that means the newest, hottest, thing going. Hence the Clips grabbing tv and radio time from the Lakers, and USC being the hottest thing around.

Petey is the uncrowned king of LA (maybe up there with the Hollywood glitteratti) to the football fans (remember USC is the only pro team there), UCLA folks are always lurking in the weeds. So it would take plenty to get him out of that cozy little nest. Ego, hey, as one gets older, one's ego gets 'settled' and is able to cope with not being the best at everything. I expect he's making much more money than is published, so that's not an issue, so why rebuild a pro team?

However, ego is still there, and just because one is asked to go to the dance, doesn't mean that one has to accept. Buuuuut, Petey still yearns to be asked. And as long as he goes on an occassional interview, he's still 'in play'. No harm, no foul, and it keeps SC administration on their toes.

Not much of interest in this piece by Dennis Dodd. I was amused by the "duel investigations". Is that supposed to mean two?

Despite Bush flap, Carroll remains, well, unflappable

LOS ANGELES -- Pete Carroll is mad.

Not fully on-the-record mad, but the Southern California coach is upset enough when it comes to the state of his program. We're in his office and the talk turns to the various temptations for his Trojans in this city. The conversation is beginning to poke around the edges of the current duel investigations into USC football.

"How many players have we had in trouble compared to other schools?" Carroll asked in his defense.

I hate statements like this no matter who is stating it. Crime/Trouble isn't a matter of comparison. It's a matter of having a clean program or not. Who gives a shit if your program has LESS trouble than other programs? It's still trouble, and it needs to be reigned in and eliminated.

I should note that I'm not expecting perfection, but apathy is a huge issue for me.

Not that I'm a PC expert or anything, but from what I know about him, he is anything but apathetic.
