Midget Bruin Works in Licks on USC

1–2 minutes

Maurice Jones-Drew when asked about his career from high school to UCLA to Jacksonville:

“To go to a great school like UCLA to get that degree where kids at other schools might become … and this is no knock…you go to UCLA, you’re guaranteed a job at NASA pretty much. That’s what happens. You go to UCLA, you might become the next president. It’s up there like that. Another great thing about UCLA, they don’t lower their standards for their athletes. It was always the same as the regular students. I assume at USC they do other things like pay ’em. But they hold them up to the same standards and when you get like that it does scare some kids away.”

No knock on astronauts or engineers at NASA, but at least USC students/athletes have a better understanding of money (and how to create it). Where the “genius” that graduates from UCLA and is “guaranteed” a job at NASA, or becomes the next president, will never have to be accountable for their value.

And for anyone that still thinks Maurice Jones-Drew is or will be a better NFL player than Reggie Bush, you’re a (put on the blinders or stop reading kids) fucking moron. Just watch Drew Brees’ deep pass completions plummet as safeties no longer have to be concerned about #25.

Maybe Jone-Drew’s UCLA feeble “trained” mind cannot get his brain to comprehend who just a few of our almuni are, including: one who did not just – “work for NASA” – but was the first man on the moon – astronaut Neil Armstrong – Mark Stevens ala Intel / Sequoia Capital or Elliot Broidy ala Markstone Capital partners who received the Raoul Wallenberg Award or Andrew Viterbi who founded Qualcom or Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf and even Director/Producer George Lucas, Will Ferrell, John Ritter, Cybil Shepherd, Forest Whitaker, Marlo Thomas and Fess Parker, columnist Art Buchwald; opera star Marilyn Horne; Hollywood directors Ron Howard (yes, Opie), Sam Peckinpah.etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

Give it up Bruins. You have not and will never compare to the Trojans. This is why you try so hard to make the comparison. We on the other hand never speak of you in the same breath.

We don’t need to brag or compare, we Trojans just, “Do It!”

Will Ferrell? Yeah, that’s a big icon in US History there. We can talk names all you want, and you would be hearing a lot from both schools. But don’t throw in Will Ferrell like he created the wheel. You can be all-Trojan all you want – UCLA never has tried to compare itself to USC. Why in the hell would they? Football, you guys are full of greatness. Basketball, not so much buddy. You can talk about how USC is great and all, but if you can’t even THINK of anyone great to come out of UCLA, then you are definitely lacking in knowledge. Sorry bout that champ! Go Bruins!

Um, Neil Armstrong (you know, Maurice, the first man to walk on the moon) went to USC.

Oh, and Warren Christopher went to USC as well. He was Secretary of State, which is much closer in the line of succession than any UCLA alum of which I’m aware…
