What I was responding to was the absurd notion that some SoCal fans
cling to that Russell White couldn't get into SC, but could Cal, due
to disparate academic standards.

Nice try, but no cigar.  Since I've been following the Bears, UW has
beaten them with more regularity (and more ferocity) than have the
Condoms.  Yet no one's heard a peep from me (or anyone) in the way of
complaints about UW.

SC gets dumped on because they're perennially the ddirtiest, cheapest
team in the Pac 10.  The school's alums think there's something to
be proud of in coming from a ghetto college where money rules and
tackiness is the order of the day.  In reality, SC wouldn't be more
bush league if they went 0-11.

OK - how 'bout the Ivy League?  Too small-time?  OK, UM and ND.
Brigham Young.  And (though I'll choke on the words) UCLA (gasp).

Back up.  Nowhere did I say, imply or hint that Cal was heading for
the big time over the long haul.  Given U$C's $$ and historical 
disregard for NCAA regulations, they ought to be back on top in a
couple of years.  And Cal's academic requirements will eventually
drag them back down.

Hey, some of are darn serious about U$C-bashing.
