kryptonite Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 While a Badger fan, this is yet another reason to cheer for Michigan tomorrow....amazing, Heisman goes to USC, the award only helps with recruiting, helps make their name bigger, and Bush is doing a great job in the NFL...a class act, (from what I can see) and this is the response from USC....man that is crappy..... http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/6321340?FSO1&ATT=HMA Jay Glazer / FOXSports.com Posted: 56 minutes ago The USC Trojans have done something defenders have been unable to do in Reggie Bush's rookie year — they've stunned him dead in his tracks. The Saints running back and former Heisman Trophy winner told FOX NFL Sunday and FOXSports.com that USC officials have asked that he not show up on the sidelines for the Trojans' Rose Bowl matchup against the Michigan on New Year's Day. Bush called the athletic department Friday to get his credentials for the game, but was told it would be better if he didn't attend the game. "It's ridiculous," said Bush. "I guess I won't be going." Bush said he believed all the negative stories that surfaced earlier this year regarding alleged financial impropriates caused them to put forth such a request and he's obviously not happy about it. Thus, Bush is making no plans to show up — despite winning the Heisman for the university a year ago and helping lead them to the national championship game two years in a row. USC is likely trying to distance itself from Bush after a man named Michael Michaels alleged that he allowed Bush's parents to move into a $757,000, 3,000-square-foot home he owned in Spring Valley, a San Diego suburb. According to Michaels, Bush's parents failed to pay any of the agreed upon $4,500 monthly rent on the property before Michaels evicted the family. Michaels also alleged that he paid for Bush's family to travel to some USC road games during the 2005 season. However, Michaels also promised that he would have corroborating evidence to these claims and much more yet to this day nothing has been proven. Had anything been proven, USC could have been stripped of its 2004 championship. But considering the man has yet to be proven guilty of anything, to shun one of your biggest stars and most beloved players at this point is absurd — especially considering O.J. Simpson has been allowed to attend certain USC events. O.J. can come to practice but Reggie is asked not to come to a game? Hmmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czarina Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Like an admission of guilt on USC's part, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Like an admission of guilt on USC's part, isn't it? If true. Remember it is Fox spreading the story. Has anyone else backed them up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pope Flick Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Yeah - who cares? If USC is demonstrating humility in this ongoing investigation, then why shouldn't they? It'll be interesting how this eventually wraps up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Beatings Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 If Michigan were clever they would offer to allow Bush to stand on their sideline during the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godtomsatan Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Like an admission of guilt on USC's part, isn't it? No, it's like an admission that there's an ongoing NCAA/Pac-10 investigation involving that player, and in the school's best interest, Bush should probably keep his distance until everything settles. If he gave a crap about the USC football program, he wouldn't whine about the circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Holy Roller Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 If Michigan were clever they would offer to allow Bush to stand on their sideline during the game. He could take Ricky Bobby's dad with him to the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last Plane Out Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 If Michigan were clever they would offer to allow Bush to stand on their sideline during the game. .....and wear an O.J. Simpson jersey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffraff Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Had anything been proven, USC could have been stripped of its 2004 championship. Still pending investigation. All is not forgiven just because Bush moved on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
