Aaron surpass his former mentor, Brett Favre, this year both in yardage and in passer rating. The green bay fans accepted and voted for him as their offensive MVP. What a great start for Rodger.

Go Bears!

If the Niners were watching, They were sure regret of not picking Rodger for their QB.

Go Bears!

Stanley Havili will not be playing in the Rose Bowl due to academics.

Hurts doesn’t it?

So far, it is all Pac-10. They are 3-0 after the Oregon mulled down the #13 Okahoma State. If the Oregon State take care of the Pitts, and for sure the SC will take care of the Penn State, then Pac-10 will be perfect in post season.

Go Bears! Go Pac-10.

Speaking of stupid athletes:

Stanley Havili will not be playing in the Rose Bowl. What does it say when your football players can’t even pass the “Mickey Mouse courses” and “special curriculums” that they are steered into. Shows that Moron is not the only idiot from U$C!!!

If moron the troll would have bothered to read the entire article for which it posted the link and took the quote, it might have noticed that the survey or study in question specifically excluded private schools because they are not subject to public records act disclosure requirements. It stands to reason that if top rated public schools like Cal and UCLA have a significant gap between test scores of athletes and the general student body, private schools like the U of Sports Corruption, that attract NFL bound football players, will have even wider ones, because they have more leeway in the academic standards they must enforce. Look at the graduation rates for NCAA athletes. $C is not an academic powerhouse by any means, but then, their only claim to fame is that some of their athletic programs are successful. Why? Can you say “money”?

Ahh… i see it now. I know why you failed law school Moron. First of all you have to learn to read, then you have to learn to get your facts straight. If you don’t, you will never win a case.

In regards to the article you linked to:
1) Sperber did get his master’s and PhD from CAL. But nowhere in his article did he say that CAL or the UC’s were graduating athlete’s by having them take Mickey Mouse courses. That was a general statement about the state of ALL collegiate athletics. Something that is not a surprise and that I am certain the Mighty Trojans are all too familiar with.

2) The article does say that the gap btw. student athlete SAT scores and that of the general student body is higher at UC Berkeley. Something I would expect at the top public university. If your general student body is scoring higher on their SAT’s than say a middle tier private university, like USC, where most students pay for the grades on their transcripts, then wouldn’t the gap be higher?

So the question is not whether athletes are stupid or whether jocks are dumb. Because if you read the article clearly Sperber speaks to this as well.

The real question is how dumb are you and how truly sad a representation of the Trojan nation are you? The reality that you have nothing better to do than come on this blog and pretend to be pro pac-10. To have nothing better to do than to preach your anti-CAL bear hatred. But that’s ok. I know it’s hard to not be in the NC game when you had so much promise. To have to sit back and watch Oklahoma and Florida play all because you guys choked against OSU. To have to wait another year and see another season full of promise get snuffed out because of poor undisciplined play by 5-star recruits. Just another typical USC season.

Hurts doesn’t it?
