An article in the L.A. Times on USC Athletic Director Pat Haden.
There are 35 days left till the season opener Vs. Minnesota. During the next 35 days, I am going to highlight either a USC player, an opponent, one of the greatest moments in USC history, just plain and simply something related to USC football each day till the season opener.
Last week’s one-game suspension o
f USC tailback Marc Tyler came as no surprise to the SC faithful that have been keeping a close eye on the star athelete. Tyler, a fifth-year Senior, has run into other problems in the past and it seems that the most recent incident was the tip of the iceberg for Coach Kiffin. AD Pat Haden was interviewed by a nationally syndicated morning radio show where he said Tyler was closing to being kicked off the team. Not exactly a smart move for Tyler to go and brag on camera about being paid for playing football at SC. Let alone on TMZ! Will Marc Tyler ever realize that he is no longer 18 years of age but rather a grown man at the age of 22 (soon to be 23 in September). Tyler needs to step it up and demonstrate that he wants to be part of the USC tradition of great tailbacks. Tyler was the leading rusher for the Trojans last season and is expected to carry the bulk of carries this year along with Dillon Baxter and Curtis McNeal.
