A great weekend for the USC program cemented just how amazing the Trojans' 2003 recruiting class was. Sedrick Ellis, Sam Baker and Lawrence Jackson are the three latest members of USC's 2003 class, which I think should go down as the best recruiting class in modern college football history (i.e. when teams couldn't sign as many recruits as they want), to be drafted in the first round, joining Reggie Bush from two years ago. As of now, the Trojans have an astounding nine first-day draft picks from that class: Baker, Bush, Ellis, Jackson, Ryan Kalil, Steve Smith, Terrell Thomas, LenDale White and Eric Wright. (There also could be a 10th coming in 2009 when DT Fili Moala comes through.) Other USC '03s that have been drafted are John David Booty, Will Poole, Chauncey Washington and Thomas Williams.
Chauncey Washington for President; '06 &'07 Highlights
Then the Jaguars double-dipped into the Trojan talent pool, grabbing runningback Chauncey Washington with the 6th pick of the 7th round. Washington came to the Trojans in the same '03 class as Lendale White and Reggie Bush. But injuries had him sidelined in '03 and redshirt in '04 and '05. But as they saying goes, patience ended up being Washington's greatest virtue.
With the departure of Bush and White to the NFL, and USC's tailback situation in question, Washington was the back who stepped up. He led the Trojans in rushing in 2006 with 744 yards and 9 TDs. Then in 2007, Washington kicked it up a notch. Even with young-uns Joe McKnight and Stafon Johnson as viable tailback options, Chauncey Washington was the choice for O.C. Sarkisian and Pete Carroll. Washington received more than double the carries as any other tailback, and led the Trojans with 969 yards and 10 TDs. 220 of his near 1,000 yards came from a remarkable career-high game, with Washington running all over a very soggy Cal Bears.
Washington is a sizable north-south runner with excellent vision, power and blocking ability, reminiscent of the Lendale White style of game. He should become a solid combo punch along with Jacksonville's Fred Taylor (1202 yards, 5 TDs in 2007) and Maurice Jones Drew (768 yards, 9 TDs).
Overall it has been an excellent two days for the Trojans, with 10 out of 12 players getting selected in the draft. Only guard Drew Radovich and center Matt Spanos remain undrafted. Both would be steals as free agent picks.
What happens when a regular dude, sponsored by an underwear company, challenges celebrities to inane tasks? Answer: Not that Much. But none the less, Hanes is promoting Dave's Detours, as part of a not-so-viral marketing blitz. Still, Dave has managed to challenge the likes of Matt Leinart and Reggie Bush to public duels. And somehow this Dave character always seems to lose the challenge.

Young, Rich & Infamous? Make Love With a Trojan...
Things seem to be heating up in sunny Southern California, and we're not just talking about the weather. It seems every time the tabloids snap a picture of celluloids' most scandalous young starlets, there's a USC student or graduate standing beside them. Take the latest silver-screen scandal of the moment: Lindsay Lohan. Her rap-sheet is nearly as long as her IMDB profile. There's the multiple speeding tickets, the running red-lights, a hit-and-run, D.W.I, the drinking, the alleged cocaine possession, the rehab, and the revealing Marylin Monroe photos. And who was that scruffy guy with her in all the tabloid photos? That's USC graduate Spencer Guilburt. Lohan's has been caught with her (now-ex) hubby-of-the moment - 24 year old Guilbert, a graphic artist/clothing designer, kissing around town.

Then there was Britney Spears and her suspected romance with ex-Trojan volleyball player and Realtor-to-the-stars, Robert Edie. Now I'm not even going to list Britney's problems, because if you have a TV and a pulse, you know things have turned straight-jacket-crazy in the pop-icon's life. But before she was suspected to be romantically involved with the Marshall business school grad, it was rumored she was playing tonsil hockey with Matt Leinart.
And that's not all! USC has been historically linked with silver-screen sex scandals since before there was even sound in cinema. The rumored encounters go all the way back into the 1920s...
