Answer Tuesday, Part 5

Q: You never answered my question last forum about should Mike Garret should be fired if USC is guilty in either the Bush or Mayo Case. Also reasons for his firing if one case is true and USC is penalized are previous problems like USC players like Wright, Dennis and Justice getting in trouble with the law and besides football every other sport has struggleed to be the best like baseball.(This is for some readers who got mad at the question last time) What do you think about Mike Garret getting fired?

A: USC is a little different than a lot of places. Administrators tend to get fired more when they offend the big-time boosters or the school president. Steven Sample has confidence in Mike Garrett, so that's all that really matters. It will take a lot more than these 2 investigations to shake things up.

Q: Is it true that some recent football signees like Nick Perry,Daniel Campbell, and Curtis McNeal are unable to qualiify for the fall and must sit out until they are able to enroll? How about the rest of the signees are they able to enter and play?

A: Some freshmen are still finishing up their high school academic requirements so it's not unusual that everyone is not available yet. And the NCAA Clearinghouse doesn't become an issue until August, so it's a little early to pronounce judgment on the freshmen.

Q: After seeing the great suggestion for the logo to bring back Tricia Pillsbury, may I humbly suggest that the person in charge of the IT for this blog put a countdown clock to October tryouts for the next Song Girl squad, so we can all go out in force and observe the sham that is the selection process for ourselves?

A: That would be a quite a sight if some of the readers actually showed up for tryouts. I guess I would believe that when I saw it.
