Yes, this is apparently true. Highlight vids are in the article.
This is, of course, ridiculous IMHO, but, hey, its USC! Its Lane Kiffin! Its hot chicks in SoCal!

Another MNC for USC is now fixed for 2015! Woo Hoo!

I can't believe Craig James never tried a stunt like that.

Leftcoast: yes, you made 75 words.
But barely.
Lane K is a bigger douche-bag than imaginable, so big that when you want to insult a douche-bag, you call it a Lane Kiffin. and has to be put down.
I don’t know this guy, I have never even heard this guy speak, but I can’t stand this guy. I hope USC tanks, gets the death penalty, and I hope their horse Traveler breaks a fetlock and has to be shot.
I don’t like USC.

I hope they lose to a Big Ten team in the national title due to the Big Ten team being better, but also due to bad coaching.
Then I hope USC tanks, gets the death penalty, and shoots their horse Traveler.

I never knew USC's horse was named Traveler
Zombie Robert E. Lee will rise from his grave (which will REALLY ruin the Lee Chapel) to eat their brains in vengence!
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
Oh--and when Traveler breaks his fetlock....
…..I hope the Trojan riding him tumbles off and falls on his sword.
There. That should about do it.
Here’s a question about mascots: why is LSU’s tiger called MIKE? Because Tony was taken?

We have fanshots if you can't make 75 words.
They’re a lot easier. And a lot less annoying than reading filler text.
Just saying.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
OPS, you're crazy
No one would think to do that, right?

Do you wear those in public?

Yes. I'm a musician.
And California is pretty tolerant of eccentrics anyway. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments, actually. If anyone asks why, I’ve actually got a good answer – besides the “musician bit” (which only works with musicians) – “I’m a cancer research supporter. My mom just died of lung cancer.”
Which is true. I’m also a testicular cancer survivor (1983).

Wow
Great reasons to wear your all pink chucks. I have had many in my family pass from cancer and would like to thank you for supporting cancer research. I wear my Iowa pink T-shirt durning football season. It is a really good conversation starter.

My cancer story
I was actually an undergraduate – fall semester of junior year – when right after I got home for Christmas break, my right testicle swelled to about 2x its normal size and hurrrrrt overnight.
Family doc diagnosed it as orchictis – its a common misdiagnosis, BTW – and sent me back to school with some steroids. I went swimming and it hurt bad again, so I dropped into Student Health, and they immediately sent me to Urology at UIHC.
This was Jan 14th. Did the emergency surgery that afternoon. It was Stage 1, so it hadn’t spread. I had a 2nd surgery to remove the lymph nodes behind my stomach – that was standard practice, they don’t do it anymore – to make sure that nothing had spread and that I would need chemo.
Dr. Charles Hawtrey – who is retired by now but at least a few years back, was still practicing in Iowa City, was actually my next door neighbor up on Summit Street (I was renting a room from a UI staffer that had a house up there) was my surgeon, and came bouncing into the room later that day – I think it was the 28th – to say that “your guts look great, your lymph nodes look normal, I think your path report will be clean.”
He was right.
I haven’t had an occurrence of cancer since. The cure rate for Stage 1 is extremely high – if you’re clear 2 years later the chances that you’ll be clear after 5 are excellent.
I have two great children; I was lucky I didn’t have chemo… sometimes, you stay sterile from the chemo forever – Lance Armstrong’s set of kids from his first wife came from banked sperm before he had chemo. Obviously, he still thought he was firing blanks when he got his current GF pregnant…
TC is the most common form of cancer for white males 18-35. They don’t know why. I didn’t smoke, and I run and bicycle tons, and I’m carrying an extra #10-15 of middle age weight but that’s it.

Scary shit at 20-21. Yowzah.
You don’t know me and I don’t know you – although I was on campus when you were – still, so sorry about your mom. My sincere condolences.
Thank you very much... I really appreciate that.
I was an English major – pretty much into it at that point.
David Morrell was one of my profs (now retired and writing more thrillers down in Santa Fe). The two weeks between the intial surgery and the follow-up one, I checked with my professors to see if any of them were open to letting me “telework” if I had to do chemo.
David was unbelievably nice and flexible about it, and said if necessary his TA would deliver the class notes to me if I was unable to attend. I found out later that he lost his teenage son to cancer… but David is the kind of guy that still would have been flexible, I think – he’s simply a nice, awesome human being.
For the guy that created Rambo, he’s a very mild-manner writer :)
And again, thanks for the condolences. They are truly appreciated.

It's really really dumb, but also really really meaningless
Coaches can’t offer actual scholarships that early, and the kid obviously isn’t tied down at all until signing day his senior year. I don’t know if it will be funny or sad if the kid winds up busting out in high school (or fucking 8th grade) and never gets a real offer.
this really puts the "creepy" in "caring is creepy"

Ok, how did you end up with 3 of 'em?

My wife had one when we met.
Last year for her birthday, she wanted another one so I broke down and bought a puppy. Little did I know she had rescued one from a local shelter, “The Low-rider Club” and viola…we have three pissing, shit-eating machines.

At least anyone who breaks into your house is going to get tripped
And the dogs will surely raise hell. They did a survey several years ago of 500 inmates in Ohio doing time for burglary, and when they were asked “what’s the best theft protection device?” they said “Get a dog.”

How old were..
James Morris or Alex Kanellis when they verballed to Iowa? Both were in 10th grade, if i recall correctly. Would that make them 14 or 15? Didn’t the kid from Mason city commit to the Iowa BB team in 8th grade or something?
That said I agree that Kiffin is a total tool and what the hell is a 13 yo doing with a personal QB coach?
If you feel like singing along, don't.
James Taylor
Improving his mechanics?
It’s easier to correct and imporve mechanics when a kid i younger.
I would bet that Jesus T. Tebow is wishing that he had a QB coach when he was younger.

I believe Jeff Horner waited to commit to the Iowa BB team
until his freshman year of high school. I may be mistaken though…
by HeroPatriotStanzi on Feb 9, 2010 10:48 AM CST up reply actions
I think he is refering to Dean Oliver.
I believe he committed as a 8th grader.

Actually, Horner was the youngest Hawkeye to verbally commit.
Oliver had been upto that point.

Ah, I see.
So when Horner commit?

Both Horner and Oliver committed as high school freshmen.
Horner committed earlier in his freshman year than Oliver did in his.

IMHO, I think Horner, Brunner, and Oliver actually verbaled to Iowa
expecting to go there after they graduated high school. I don’t think our coaches chased them when they were 14yo’s. But with [NAME REDACTED], it’s hard to say.

Didn't ISU get a commit from an 8th grader? Or was he a HS freshman too?
I think he plays hoops in Sioux City.
