Meh...I will see it for myself and then be the judge

right after I get back from Pete Carrol’s book signing in Ridgewood, NJ tomorrow night

I'm prepared to be disappointed

It sounds like Kremer is missing the mark:

- sensationalizing Reggie’s car “how could you not notice!”
- buying into the “higher profile athletes require higher compliance efforts” retroactive law
- inferring that the Griggin’s $300k lower middle class home was in some way alarming
- asking Pete if he knew, when the NCAA already cleared him

Is there any comparison/contrast with preceding NCAA sanctions? Does Kremer even know that we are appealing and have accepted that Reggie was ineligible in 2005, so only 2004 is in question? Are there any questions about due process in light of the NCAA’s railroading job? Does Kremer acknowledge the potential for bias from Dee, Conboy and others on the COI?

Unless you are a Car Buff and I mean Muscle Car (plus the Impala SSs were more of a Rapper gang thing), you wouldn't have an idea what he was driving.

We are talking about a 8-10,000 $ kids car in 2005, my best friend bought his kid a brand new X-Terra to drive to MDHS—-$25,000. Her saying that Reggie was the best player shows she really had no idea about that team or sports in general, maybe she should go back to shopping and doing the laundry. How about how she sidesteps PC ? about did you know your Parents Mortgage situation when you where that age.

These people are all a bunch of Opportunist just trying to get ratings.

So Fight On USC followers and Don’t worry WE Will Still Play on Saturdays and Bowls will come later, for WE ARE SC not That other Softball University. Oh and don’t say you now have a baseball team, it’s not Real Baseball unless you use Wooden Bats.

+1

My very own teenagers asked me, why would Reggie want to drive such a piece of crap? And they DO know cars. It’s a front drive car with a puny V-8 and an SS logo that doesn’t belong. The cops stopped buying it when they discontinued the old ugly-ass body on frame rear drive car.
To most of us it’s like Pete said, just a used Chevy. If you’re a GB it may be automotive gold, but to the rest of the world… a piece of crap.

Still LOCO after all these years

All hail Augustus Kiffin!
