They did hold the Rodney King cop beating trials in my hometown.

That's one of his nicknames; he's also called Nightstalker due to his uncanny resemblance to the departed Richard Ramirez.

If you want a serious answer, here are a few things about SC that do not scream ghetto. I will use BYU as a benchmark since I know you are a fan of BYU:

1. Better business school and law school. Likely better all around academics, period
2. More prestigious graduate research programs with much larger annual endowment
3. Average salary of exiting students much higher
4. Tuition is about 10 times as much per year as BYU, thereby attracting some of the wealthiest families to send their kids.
5. One of the greatest athletic traditions in all NCAA in all sports...championships, heismans, etc.
6. Old facilities....because the team has been playing for a long long time. And winning.
7. I've been to countless SC home games. The PAC does not allow beer sales at its home games. I am sure you know this. I have rarely come across terrible behavior, at least any worse than any other stadium.
8. when BYU played at SC, I sat in the BYU section, wore BYU gear, etc. we were treated very well by everyone. I havent heard many people (besides you) complain of their treatment when they went to that game.
9. The campus is in an awful part of town. No getting around that one. The campus itself is really nice. Not sure if you have ever walked around on it.
10. Not sure about the knock on the players. It looks like Reggie took cash, but I cant remember the last time SC was in trouble because its players were violent or getting arrested (Mark Sanchez snuck into the bar when he was a frosh). In contrast, BYU most recently has had rape allegations, or at the very least, group sex.

I could go on and on. Like i said, anytime someone uses the phrase "dumping ground of human debris" and is not TIC, the post is high on the unintentional comedy scale.

Fight On!

Well that was a fascinating, and completely irrelevant comparison. I wasn't trying to compare BYU and USC. I'm stating my opinion of USC, and you're free to disagree. Based on MY PERSONAL experiences with USC I don't understand why anyone would want to go there.

I can actually see the appeal of going to UCLA. USC...not so much. Are you going to give us all a like comparison of UCLA and USC now?

A top 200 recruit at BYU is special. You start at a very early age. You get special attention from coaches. You have to go out of your way to be a bust. You're a three year starter and you go to NFL combine. At USC, all 85 scholarship guys are top 200 recruits. Many never become starters and get churned.

So, as a ratio of top 200 recruits, how many go to the combine is important. % of LDS is not even close to being relevant.

Well, then maybe you are on to something.

Top recruits should go to mediocre schools so they can get lavished with attention from mediocre coaches using mediocre facilities.

I love it. I never would have put him and Richard Ramirez together in terms of looks, but now that you mention it...that's really funny.

Jay I agree with you, the difference is that I would bet USC puts more backups in the NFL than BYU does starters.

Be real, we usually have about three drafted a year. USC might get a backup drafted once every couple years?
