I understand Jesus is scheduled to actually give the TD signal on ND's next home score. True, Chief?

I'm not throwing out any accusations and I explained as much to Thomps via PM, but the latest LeSean McCoy Rivals$ update threw up a flag for me:
Again, I am not accusing USC of anything here...I thought I remembered hearing that ML's parents were loaded, but Thomps said they are middle class.
I don't want to see USC come under any fire as I previously in this thread, but I do think the amount of media scrutiny needs to be fair. Hell, MoC was crucified and the program lead to the gallows for a damn Monte Carlo...
Now, maybe Leinarts parents took out a major loan ala Lebron's mom based on his future, but wouldn't this type of flamboyance raise speculation at most programs?

Well, one wonders if he's also getting tutoring in his dancing classes. :p
Kinda the point, on the whole Clarett getting "extra help" that kinda kicked off the whole OSU investigation - if that story was "Teacher goes out of her way to help struggling kid" do you think the NCAA woulda been worried??

Thomps, you got more than that bro...
What's your take here on the varied reactions between programs?

Jeez, I'd hate to to see Leinart's Hummer broken into, so he'd have to file a police report. :tongue2:

Maybe his best friend Nick Lachey bought it for him. From what I hear, they hang out all the time.
Says a lot about Leinart.

I disagree. If I was in his spot and could legally have that ride without hurting my program, I would take it in a heartbeat. None of us have ever been in that situation so any perspective we hope we would have is purely speculation...and usually not very realistic.

Are you talking about the reaction between different message boards? I haven't really seen it out until now and on Bucknuts. I just checked the bRruin website and they mostly think it is funny. Here is the LATimes report on it:
It's Halloween, so I don't think it was inapprorpriate. I think Pete Carroll is just trying to keep things loose given the tremendous pressure that is focused on the team. During fall camp he had C Ryan Kalil tell the team he was quiting to start a career in singing and then break out in a song.
All over America last night people were trying to scare the crap out of small kids. These are young men. I think PC is within the boundary. Had he done this to small children? That would be different.
BTW, here are the titles from the thread on the Ruin premium board:

No I meant the Hummer story...the prank is nothing to me. There is a connection amongst a team that nobody outside of the members can understand...and it varies from team to team. Johnny Damon lounging nude in the clubhouse would not fly in many lockerrooms, but it is hilarious in the Sox clubhouse. There are hundreds of instances of "inside jokes" that exist in sports...to me, this prank is the same thing.

I think that "prank" is totally inappropriate, and I dont give a shit what kind inside locker room agreement the USC players have.
If Bob Knight can't whip Calbert Chaney, then PC can't have a player fake a suicide.
Make light if you want, Thomps and Bruins board folks, but the fact that it's Halloween is a bullshit excuse. Should I wait til April Fools before I convince my family I'm dead in the tub having slit my wrists? I'm sure it'd be big fun for them when I get up and say, "Nah, just fuckin with ya, to keep you loose."

Oh, sorry. My first post was about the prank thing.
So the different reactions between programs you mentioned refers to the different media response between tOSU/MOC and USC/Leinart? I'm not sure. I think it's too early to tell. I wouldn't even have known about it had you not PM'd me. Haven't even seen a mention of it on WeAreSC.
I don't expect that ESPN would treat USC any differently if there is/were something to the story. USC is a pretty hot read these days, so ESPN would take us down if they could. It's about ratings.
