"No" is BAD and "Wrong" is OKAY...

In today's (UC)LA Times, Gary Klein reported tht Dave Cutaia, the Pac-10's co-ordinator of football officials, suspended an official in the USC-Oregon State game for a "no" call on a Taylor Mays personal foul. So, NO is BAD!

But, Dave Cutaia did not suspend the official in the USC-Notre Dame game for a "wrong" call on a bogus Taylor Mays personal foul. So, WRONG is OKAY!

Then, what is RIGHT?

Both Pac-10 officials should have been suspended!

Twelve not Eleven?

Evidently Bryce Yokomizo (10/24/09 (UC)LA Times Viewpoint Letters) didn't watch the same USC-Notre Dame game that I did. Upon further review, both personal foul penalties against USC's Taylor Mays were BOGUS!

The S.E.C. officials exalt Florida with penalties in the Gator's favor, while Pac-10 officials debase USC with bogus penalties against the Trojans.

The Trojans are up against 12 players, not 11, on every snap!

The S.E.C. Got It Right!

No reporter at the (UC)LA Times has brought up the fact that the Pac-10 officiating crew at the USC-Notre Dame last Saturday 10/17/09 blew at least three calls that affected the game. Foremost were two "no calls" against Notre Dame and one blatant "wrong" call against USC. Twice, the Irish tackled Joe McKnight and Matt Barkley out of bounds and were not whistled for a personal foul. Then, Trojan Taylor Mays was flagged with a personal foul for pushing a Notre Dame player after the player was out of bounds. The replay clearly shows that the Notre Dame player was inbounds when Taylor pushed him out of bounds to stop his forward progress.

Today the S.E.C. suspended the Florida-Arkansas officating crew that called a "bogus" personal foul on Arkansas near the end of the game last Saturday. That penalty affected the outcome of the game.

The S.E.C. got it RIGHT!

Why isn't the (UC)LA Times "blowing" the whistle on these sub-par, anti-USC Pac-10 officials?

It didn't happen to UCLA!

He's NOT My Prince Charming!

It was disgusting this morning that Bill Plaschke of the (UC)LA Times effused his love for new Bruin quarterback Kevin Prince in his front page article entitled, "Bruins think they've found their Prince".

But does Kevin Prince "Charming" really deserve a 6x9 color picture? That Prince picture is larger than any picture the (UC)LA Times has published of any USC football player this entire pre-season!

My "Prince" is USC's Taylor Mays! Taylor is personable and always gives everyone he meets a big smile and a big hug! In other words, he is "CHARMING"!

The GOOD, the BAD and the UGLY!!!

The GOOD: This morning, (UC)LA Times sports reporter Baxter Holmes wrote that USC will honor incoming freshman linebacker Frankie Telfort's scholarship. USC doctors diagnosed Telfort with a genetic heart condition that will prevent the young linebacker from ever playing a second of football for the Trojans. Telford will be a pre-med major.

The BAD: This morning, (UC)LA Times sports reporter Paul Pringle wrote a "he said", "she said" ADVOCATE journalistic article filled with opinions, accusations and innuendoes. Mr. Pringle insinuates that Coach Pete Carroll broke NCAA rules by hiring special teams consultant Pete Rodriguez last season. More sensational garbage!

The UGLY: The (UC)LA Times chose to publish Frankie Telfort's three paragraph article in "THE DAY IN SPORTS' on page C-8 of the sports section. The GOOD! Then the same (UC)LA Times chose to publish Paul Pringle's two page article with pictures on the front page A-1. The BAD! Why is there a BIASED sports article on the front page, anyway?

Answer: This is UGLY, BIASED SENSATIONALISM just to attack USC!!!

Who is ONE and DONE?

Why did (UC)LA Times reporter Mark Heisler label USC's Demar DeRozan as "ONE and DONE" this morning in his article, while he refused to also label UCLA's Jrue Holiday as "ONE and DONE"?

Both collegiate players left their respective universities after their freshman seasons to enter the NBA Draft yesterday.

Last season The (UC)LA Times reporters always referred to USC's O.J. Mayo as "ONE and DONE" while UCLA's Kevin Love was never labeled as such!

Why is the (UC)LA Times so derogative to USC and so nice to UCLA?

They are BIASED for the Bruins over the Trojans!

The Answer is NO!

Did I want to see a color picture of "one and done" Kevin Love on the front page of this morning's (UC)LA Times sports page.....just because he is a TWIT?
