		<description>Oh Btw, I forgot to mention...did you even check out that link that bruinfaithful posted? Because, to me, that is enough evidence to support the claims that usc is cheating. Go ahead check it out and see for yourself and then try to explain that one away.</description>

		<description>Wow, phillips, way to argue your point. You call out Bruinfaithful for lack of evidence yet you make your argument based on nonsense. Since when does,&quot;any UCLA fan bitching about how Pete Carroll cheats loses all credibility&quot; qualify as a substantial argument? That is just pathetic. KN made up these accusations because UCLA is making a run at their recruits, unlike Dorrell who was afraid to compete wit sc. Also, for your information, I live very close to usc and let me tell you something; usc fans are the most obnoxious fans I have ever encountered! They think the world revolves around them and sc football...the reason why you have never heard a usc fan complain about UCLA bb is because 1) your program sucks  and they would be speaking from a position of inferiority 2) All I hear from sc fans is &quot;Were a football school, we don&#039;t care about basketball.&quot; That is why they don&#039;t complain, because no one cares about sc basketball! Most people in LA only care about Bruins basketball, not the watered down trojan team. Anyway, my point is if you want to turn a blind eye to what sc is doing--think reggie bush/oj mayo--then that is your call...just don&#039;t try to convince others its true.</description>

		<description>OK, first of all, Simers has always been a UCLA honk and his column was a joke. Wait until after signing day and I&#039;m sure people will come forward about this situation.

Second, any UCLA fan bitching about how Pete Carroll cheats loses all credibility, since your coach has cheated (and been caught) twice. And I never said saying Norton was leaving for UCLA was a recruiting violation, it&#039;s just dirty, everyone knows that. Sure it goes on, but Neuheisel has been claiming that he&#039;s above all that now.

And the &quot;The NCAA doesn&#039;t want to punish USC because they make money&quot; argument is a joke. Two words: Indiana University. If there was so much evidence to back up ALL of your claims, USC would have had SOMETHING, ANYTHING happen to it. Nothing has happened. So stop claiming Carroll is a cheater until you have real evidence. 

Hell, according to Bruin fans Pete Carroll is the devil. You guys probably think he set up the A Better LA Foundation just for football reasons. And you probably want him investigated for those trips to the ghetto at 2 am where he talks to gang members because you think he&#039;s just recruiting them. You guys can&#039;t just dislike the Trojans, there has to be something sinister there. Not one Trojan fan I know has ever claimed Howland cheats, or said that Dorrell was dirty. For some reason UCLA fans answer their ineptitude by blaming their rival&#039;s coach. Yeah, I&#039;m sure THAT&#039;s the problem.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s some logic you have there Phillips. It goes a little something like this? If OJ is guilty of murder and there was abundant evidence, then why did a jury find him innocent? If Donald Rumsfeld signed documents authorizing the killing and torture of innocent people, then why hasn&#039;t he been indicted? If there where multiple documented reports that Bernie Madoff was running a Ponzi Scheme, then why did the SEC not so much as raise an eyebrow? Sound familiar? It&#039;s called power and influence my friend. It&#039;s the same reason Bush is pardoning convicted felons as we speak. MONEY!!!! These allegations of USC&#039;s dirty program are FACT and well documented. Keep the blinders on and believe what you want to believe. 

If Reggie Bush is innocent, then why have his attorneys used legal wrangling to prevent him from providing a sworn deposition in his civil suit? Think about it. Here is your evidence, refuting your Three Blind Mice defense.

Exhibit A:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOtZ-o7GfUI

and Exhibit B:

http://www.latimes.com/sports/college/ucla/la-sp-simers4-2009jan04,0,3656399.column

The bottom line is, SUC is a high profile and high revenue generating school. The NCAA has shown a propensity in the past to protect franchises like these. Combine that with the fact that there hasn&#039;t been enough of a public outcry to this point and you have your answer. However, like any thing else, the truth will eventually come out and your sorry little SUC life will be shattered, since SUC fans only care about FB.

Furthermore, there has been no evidence, nor anybody to corroborate Norton&#039;s claims. While there have been plenty of people coming forward refuting Norton&#039;s claims. It seems that the 6 recruits in question would be those who both UCLA and SUC have been battling for. Of those six, Morrell Presley and his mother ,in the LA Times today, both refuted those claims. Inclusively, De&#039;von Flournoy, who is a current SUC commit, in the LA Daily news also refuted Norton&#039;s claims. Randall Carroll is pissed at SUC right now, so you know it wasn&#039;t him. So, who&#039;s left? Not looking good for Kenny. He&#039;s not a very smart diplomat or effective lobbyist for sure. 

In any event, all the sorry claims by Norton, which were reported at the insistance of Chetey Petey, even if true are not NCAA violations. Therefore, the questions is: What was Chetey Petey trying to prove or accomplish? The answer is simple. He needed to retaliate for Presley and others UCLA is making headway with, save face, lock Norton down and away from UCLA, and make CRN the bad guy. 

He&#039;s hearing footsteps and he doesn&#039;t like it. That&#039;s why, while never offering Walker a DC position, he strongly advised him not to take the UCLA job. Whine Whine Whine. That&#039;s why he cried to the media about UCLA playing dirty after this years game. Whine Whine Whine. Are you freaking kidding me? The UNIVERSITY of SHOTS that are CHEAP, complaining about dirty play? Too funny. Dirty Recruiting U, complaining about non recruting violations? Whine Whine Whine. Guess what Chetey Petey, the world and recruits are watching. Your true face is being revealed. Here&#039;s what they see: a dirty coach and program who has been challenged, desperately trying to hang on to his beloved monopoly. That&#039;s why old Petey cried that they should have had a shot at the National Title after beating another SORRY team from the BCS&#039;s worst Conference. Whine Whine Whine.

How funny that SUC is now crying foul, when UCLA NEVER complained when SUC negative recruited. Claiming Dorrell would be fired. Claiming Walker would be gone. Claiming that you&#039;re a Bruin for four years, but a Trojan for LIFE. I agree with that statement, in that Trojans are Criminals for life, i.e. OJ. I guess according to your logic Phillips, you&#039;re only a criminal if you get caught.</description>

		<description>&quot;And if SC cheats so much as Bruin fans claim, then why hasn’t the NCAA done anything about it? If it’s so obvious and out in the open and there is so much evidence that they’re “corrupt” why hasn’t something been done?&quot;

uhh, that would be because the NCAA is spineless and would rather spend their precious time and resources going after the SW North Dakota State U. rather than the cash cows that $C and the entire SEC are known to be.  $C owns the NCAA like Rey Maladjusted &quot;owns the cops&quot; in LA.  Look it up!

And a fan of Indiana, who was desperate enough to hire an even more notorious cheater like Kelvin Sampson is calling out Neu?  Let me wake you to the reality of CFB.  What Neu did at Colorado and UW, while wrong, is NO DIFFERENT than what goes on at every major Div. 1 football program.  He just happened to get caught.  In fact, I&#039;d bet half my fortune that those minor infractions pale in comparison to what goes on in the SEC, Big 12, and practically every other BCS conference including $C.</description>
