As seen in the LA Times, this picture is creating quite a stir amongst USC fans. In what's obviously a desperate attempt to sell tickets, (see lower right corner of picture), Rick Neuheisel has an intense look on his face.
Just what or who is Rick pointing his finger at?
These are the top 10 possible people or things Rick is aiming his finger at.
10. The lone Bruin fan still sitting in the Rose Bowl after the start of the fourth quarter.
- B/R Ticket Guide
9. At some kid, yelling, "Hey you, can you throw a football over 20 yards?"
8. His skanky assistant who started the Jock Itch epidemic in USC's locker room.
7. The 20,000 fans (give or take 10,000) who haven't renewed their season tickets.
6. A landmine left by Traveler, the Trojan mascot.
5. Who cares? Nobody reads the Times anyways (nice waste of public school funding, Bruins).
4. He's not pointing. The picture was photoshopped with the white surrender flag removed.
3. At the Pac-10 refs who just love to make a game "more interesting."
2. A piece of petrified Swiss cheese that has been mistaken for his O-line a few times.
And the number one possible thing he is pointing at is...
1. The end zone—just in case his Bruins' offense doesn't know where it is.

So I take it you really dislike UCLA and Rick Neuhisel?
from 2 months ago
Not at all...but the ad warrants an official response. That's some serious smack by the Bruins. I actually like Rick....he's a nice guy and a very good coach.

I am not totally sure of the dynamics of the USC/UCLA rivalry, but if you are a USC fan then you disliking UCLA is understandable.
I agree that the ad was some serious smack. Like Justin said, USC doesn't really have anything to worry about the next few years. Well, maybe try to buy fewer houses for the parents of their star players (whatever came of that?) and stay out of trouble with the NCAA.

I don't dislike them...my mom went there. Its a very good school. ;p

In that case I apologize. It is just hard for me as an Auburn fan to imagine not hating your rival. I think I have problems.

It's a little strange, because LA is so big yet so little. All kinds of intermarriage and friendships that cross over. There's plenty of little knifes, then the occasional sword - but it's all good.
As a Trojan, you hate the bruins. But at least they have the good sense to live in L.A. as opposed to someplace like...um, South Bend. There's just no excuse for that 8^D

Hey Lisa,
Very funny stuff. Except for one thing. You forgot the most obvious reason Coach Neuheisel is pointing with such a "serious" look on his face. Here's the caption if ever there was one:
"I'll take that bet."
Seriously.

Thanks Lisa, Great piece...It must be nice for you to have an easy target around. I had heard he was pointing to which hoops team he wanted to pick off the board in his league auction for the tournament.:)

I needed a good laugh. This was funny, and a very good read. You PAC 10 fans are brutal. I only wish you were as loving and compassionate one towards another as we SEC people are.:)
I enjoyed this one!

Funny Lisa, however Norm Chow is the one to worry about, not little Ricky. Chow is used to being an underdog and likes to score lots of points.

Kudos to Neuheisel. That's a bold thing to do my taking out that ad, even though USC has dominated lately. I personally hope the Bruins do come back and make that rivalry more even and take back some of the Trojans dominance.

....Tennessee is ready to Pounce! ....I am glad we are playing them this year and next and not a few years down the road b/c I do think he will bring the program back up to a high level, not USC level but consistently be in New Year's day bowls, or the Holiday. Tennessee 27, UCLA 17, my work here is done

The boy genius is obviously pointing at one of those classic college Albert Einstein posters where he has his tongue sticking out. He's thinking, "I'm WAY smarter than you, old man."

Perhaps he's picking out a date from the Bruin's cheerleading squad.
"Hey you! Blondie! meet me behind the team bus after the pep rally"

Coach Neuheisel is overrated!!! Colorado won the Big 12 after he left and his only great season was the felony loaded UW Rose Bowl team that was chronicled by the Seattle Times. As a USC fan I am not concerned about Coach Neuheisel because right now he is shielded by having two great coordinators and he does not have the talent to win for the next couple of years.
I also remember that ND made a big deal about landing Coach Weiss and he is 0 for 3 against USC though I do give him credit for a memorable game his first season.
Lisa on a side note, why hasn't Norm Chow landed a head coaching gig? Thanks.

Gil-
Good question on Norm. I think he's just too cerebral. Maybe he doesn't interview well. I talked to him and he was one of the nicest, most intelligent men I have ever met. He's also charming.
from 2 months ago
Could be that A.D.'s and university presidents; along with NFL G.M.'s and owners are too intimidated to hire someone so much smarter than they are.
He should be coaching the Ari. Cardinals right now. Of course, Bidwell is an idiot.

He is actually pointing at an offensive player and saying, "I know you are weak, but you still can't park in a handicap space."
The ad itself reminds me of a line from a show: "Arrogance and stupidity in one package, how convenient for you."
from 2 months ago
Hahahahahaha
That second line made me bust up
But seriously, I will be attending USC in about a year, I don't even attend yet and I despise UCLA.
BOO! CLA

I laughed at the article.. but I'm still hoping [That's right, hoping] for big things from Neuheisel and the Bruins in a few years..
