@IveyJanette @RufusJCooter @Wileymiller @aaron.rupar @GottaLaff No shit. I loathe every single thing about U.S.C. It's the only college I told my kids they weren't allowed to attend.

@msbellows
It's been widely known in Southern California as University of Spoiled Children. -

@Wileymiller @msbellows @RufusJCooter @aaron.rupar @GottaLaff Or the University of Shit Canners. Or after 1992,the University of South Central. They forced Black and Latino families out of the surrounding neighborhoods by buying up properties and tearing down businesses. There's always been hostility towards them in the community. My mom,brother and cousins all worked at UCLA. Go Bruins.

Some say, that was one of USC's proudest achievements. -

@GottaLaff
Oh, sorry. I thought your reply was about USC, which all the others are talking about. -
@Wileymiller No, that's okay. I was replying to this part: "My mom,brother and cousins all worked at UCLA. Go Bruins." https://mastodon.social/@IveyJanette/113091082642542340

@GottaLaff @Wileymiller @msbellows @RufusJCooter @aaron.rupar I went to a lot of football and basketball games as a kid. My mom used to be a regular at football practice,and used to let them have it after a bad game. Especially if they lost to USC.

@IveyJanette My mom went to UCLA, my dad went to USC. The annual game between them was always fun in my house. @Wileymiller @msbellows @RufusJCooter @aaron.rupar

@GottaLaff @Wileymiller @msbellows @RufusJCooter @aaron.rupar My mom worked in the dorms where the football team stayed. When she came back to work after they lost to USC: "If y'all play football the way y'all party,y'all would have won that game..." She used to let them have it.

@IveyJanette @GottaLaff @Wileymiller @RufusJCooter @aaron.rupar Meanwhile, when my alma mater UC Davis went to the NCAA basketball finals in 2017 and players were missing at bed check, the coaches found them... in a conference room, studying for finals. Their head coach:
"I'll also add that I've got some really smart kids.... I'm not sure back in the day I would have got into UC Davis, so they're a lot smarter than their coach. So I've got to navigate that....
"Last night, for example, we walk into our coaches' meeting room and we're trying to work on our game plan and there's three of our players working on a paper. We went to do bed check last night guys are studying and preparing for finals next week.
"I'm not sure too many places and too many coaches are dealing with that. I know a lot of things that they're dealing with, and fortunately I don't have to worry about those things. If anything I'm saying, hey, you guys, are you done with this paper so you can get some rest so we can get some sleep for the game?
"So it makes it truly unique, and those guys embrace not only the competition out on the floor but they embrace the competition in the classroom."

@msbellows @IveyJanette @GottaLaff @Wileymiller @aaron.rupar I love how wholesome Masto can be - actually LOLing at how this thread spun off from a throwaway comment about how Stewart Rhodes & John Yoo suck, ergo Yale Law also sucks

@RufusJCooter @IveyJanette @GottaLaff @Wileymiller @aaron.rupar Actually, the wholesomeness in the Fediverse is me.
Just me.
Everyone else? Kinky and troubled. It's just me, being assertively vanilla, keeping standards from dragging in the mud.
