Mayor Villaraigosa's Plan to keep USC at the Coliseum
As a public service we bring you the Mayor's "Seven Points of Reason" to keep USC Football at the Coliseum.Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who has expressed his desire to keep USC playing its football games in the Coliseum, issued the following letter to the members of the Coliseum Commission today as it met to discuss the relaionship with USC.
Villaraigosa outlines seven principles of a proposed agreement:
For eighty-five years, the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum has been synonymous with Trojan Athletics. With this great university calling this great public building home, the public interest has been served in countless ways.I believe that the future of the Los Angeles Coliseum is inconceivable without USC and I, therefore, urge the Coliseum Commission to immediately negotiate a long-term agreement with the University of Southern California based on the following rules of the game:(O.J. slash and cut his way through those)
First, USC makes a long-term commitment to the Coliseum that will bring jobs and produce economic vitality in South Los Angeles long into the future.(Hmm. remember them??)
Second, the Coliseum Commission and USC commit to a major renovation to bring the facility up to modern standards.(Law requires that, whats new, a tenament on "Skid Row"??)
Third, the renovation efforts will give priority to necessary improvements in amenities serving the larger public, such as restrooms and concession areas.(For Raiders fans, a tad late)
Fourth, USC agrees to make a significant financial commitment to the restoration project.(Tuition money can only go so far)
Fifth, the Coliseum Commission and USC acknowledge that the Coliseum is a public treasure which belongs to all members of our community, and that opportunities for community access, use and enjoyment of the Coliseum in a variety of athletic, education and cultural events will be enhanced and improved.(So is "HUSKIE STADIUM" at East L.A. College)
Sixth, the Coliseum will be treated at all times as an historical landmark, and its architectural character shall be protected and preserved.(Until the next "QUAKE")
And seventh, any agreement will recognize a superseding interest in bringing the Olympic Games to the Coliseum.I am committed to working together as teammates to get this agreement over the goal line.(Were waiting Barry Sanders)
.......and "ELMERS THE HORSE" pranced with glee while the Trojan band played "CONQUEST".

"...over the goal line."
Block that metaphor! Block that metaphor!
Joseph,
Did you notice the "I" monster?
Good afternoon Professor Spot (tips hat):
(Whispers) I'm having a little trouble with Mrs. Kefflebaum. (Yells at Mrs. Kefflebaum) No, Mrs. Kefflebaum, there's no trouble here, and NO there is NO HARD LIQUOR INVOLVED. (Goes back to whispering) Bloody harpie! Now, where were we? Ah, yes. The horse. (Yells at Mrs. Kefflebaum) No, I did not call you a horse and I assure you that there is no hard liquor involved over here. (Goes back to whispering) As I was saying about the horse, it seems that said horse has a name. (Yells at Mrs. Kefflebaum) No, I did not call you a foul name and really, madame, there IS NO HARD LIQUOR INVOLVED OVER HERE!!! (Goes back to whispering) Elmers is not the horse's name. (Yells at Mrs. Kefflebaum) Yes, your husband is a horse's arse at times but please understand that I'm TRYING to speak to a man about a horse! And no, I am not pissing outside the loo! (Goes back to whispering) The horse's name is "Traveler" as in Conde Nast sort of Traveler. Elmers The Horse is the mascot for the Westminster Mews cricket team, savvy? (Ducks head to avoid being hit) Bloody hell! That Mrs. Kefflebaum has a wicked right pitching arm. (Yells at Mrs. Kefflebaum) No, dear lady. Baseball is NOT played in the Coliseum and no, there is no hard liquor involved unless you are playing for the losing team, and then it's a case of every man for himself. (Goes back to whispering) What do you suppose would happen if the Commission said "No" to His Nibbs? Now there's something to think about over egg nog, savvy? (Yells at Mrs. Kefflebaum) No, Professor Spot and I were NOT drinking egg nog and NO, THERE IS NO HARD LIQUOR INVOLVED!!! At least not until the sun goes down, savvy?
Captain Jack,
UCLAcentric term for the glue factory candidate.
On the "Mr. Nibbs" thought, this can happen.
THE MAYOR ENTERS INTO AN AGREEMENT!
For more than eighty-five years, the Southwest Museum has been synonymous with culture in Los Angeles. With this venerable museum, is a great public building for many, and the public interest has been served in countless ways. I believe that the future of the Southwest Museum is inconceivable without Los Angeles and I, therefore, urge the Autry Museum to immediately negotiate a long-term agreement with the City of Los Angeles based on the following rules:
First, Autry Museum to makes a long-term commitment to the Southwest Museum that will bring jobs and produce economic vitality in Los Angeles long into the future.
Second, Autry Museum and the City of Los Angeles commit to a major renovation to bring the facility up to modern standards.
Third, the renovation efforts will give priority to necessary improvements in amenities serving the larger public, such as exhibits, restrooms and concession areas.
Fourth, Autry Museum agrees to make a significant financial commitment to the restoration project.
Fifth, the Autry Museum and the City of Los Angeles acknowledge that the Southwest Museum is a public treasure which belongs to all members of our community, and opportunities for community access, use and enjoyment of the Southwest Museum, in a variety of, educational and cultural events will be enhanced and improved.
Sixth, the Coliseum will be treated at all times as an historical landmark, and its architectural character shall be protected and preserved.
And seventh, any agreement will recognize a superseding interest in the Southwest Museum to the people of the City of Los Angeles.
I am committed to working together as teammates to get this agreement signed, sealed and delivered to become an enforceable agreement between the Autry Museum, to the cultural life of the Southwest Museum City and people of the City of Los Angeles.
Mr. Mayor, If you could get an agreement for the Coliseum, and USC, why couldn’t you do the same for the Southwest Museum?
Hillary has gone off the deep end because she is soooooo desperate. Her numbers are fallling. Talk about low and deceitful she's having her campaign volunteers do her dirty work just like Mike Truijillo did for AV against Hahn.
WASHINGTON (AP) - A volunteer Iowa county coordinator for Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign has resigned after forwarding a chain e-mail that suggests Barack Obama is a Muslim who wants to destroy the United States by being elected to its highest office. Obama is a member of the United Church of Christ and has never been a Muslim.
MEMO TO "5:04 PM"
WELL DONE!!
5:06- o.k., fine. So how does any of that connect with the Coliseum?
Stay focused.
MEMO TO "5:04 PM"
WELL DONE!!
The Mayor walked into that one!
Oh your silly people!
There is no need for the Mayor to negotiate an enforceable agreement to save the Southwest Museum from the Autry.
Why, Councilmember Huizar, after some "very tough negotiations", according to the Mayor at a press conference, "negotiated" ONE HELL of a memorandum from Autry CEO John Gray. Whoa! You can't get much more golden than that: the word of John Gray is like.... it's like... well, gosh we should just take him at his word because he's such a trustworthy guy!
So, please, will everyone at the LA Times, please continue to ignore the Southwest Museum story? We will just have to wait for the Daily News or even the Boulevard Sentinel to scoop the LA Times on the scandalous stuff at City Hall.
We now return you to your regular programming:
USC playing at the Rose Bowl.
You didn't really think this Mayor will this promise?
RANT:
Antonio Villaraigosa gave my private unlisted home phone number to Hillary's Clinton's campaign. I'm on the "do not call" list. I'm not even a democrat. Antonio only has my phone number because I gave him money so he'd vote for animals. The message which I still have says "thanks for supporting the democratic party..." give us money, vote for us, campaign for us... I never authorized Antonio to give away my number. I never signed any agreement that says he could. Now I'll have democrats calling me for frickin ever. This isn't legal campaigning.
But will I still be able to make a left turn into the Coliseum? It's my right, ya know.
“Fight On for ol’ SC
Our men Fight On to victory.
Our Alma Mater dear, looks up to you
Fight On and win for ol’ SC
Fight On to victory. Fight On!”
And don't hate on the white, noble steed. You flea-bitten sloths.
Fight On!
xoxo
Afflicted, pray for thee.
What type of agreement did the Mayor enter into with USC? Is it the same as the memorandum that the City has with Autry or has the Mayor requested or ordered an enforceable agreement with USC & the Coliseum, with him being the broker of the agreement? The way I read it, he ordered or requested an enforceable agreement with USC and the Coliseum? Why didnt he do the same thing with the Southwest Museum?
M-O-N-E-Y = Autry's Busoms
Quick, get the ranting animal person off before they go crazy and bring in their weirdo friends. Next thing you know they'll be clogging up the blog with you tube videos that only they care about.
If the animal nut wants to rant, how about they get their own thread so that nobody else has to listen. It is unfair that they get to ruin every thread we ever have.
Mayor Villaraigosa should have Alan Rothenburg appointed to the Coliseum Commission. Rothenburg is skilled in the sports business having been involved in Major League Soccer and the highly successful 1994 World Cup soccer match. Rothenburg will not only keep USC in the Coliseum, but also bring home an NFL franchise.
Would this Don Jones be stupid enough to make a threat against Zuma on tv? If that is the case and Zuma truly feels his life is in danger and this derranged person will harm him, Zuma can file a "terrorist threat" against him which is a felony. This is how they get domestic violence abusers all the time when they are cowards and threaten women they beat.
Go get him Zuma; but remember, he may be a nut, but not nearly as big a one as you.
ZD, this is screaming for its own thread. Post the video on YouTube...
The Midget mexican Mechista Mayor has but two votes, two out of NINE.
He can order all he wants, but he needs at least five, probably six votes to do this deal with USC.
It is al show for the idiots who read this blog and others.
Viva Villaraigosa, Champion of the People. An Elected ZD!!!
Breaking News - Breaking News
ZD agrees to advise Coliseum Commisison and USC.
Previously occupied with advising the LA City Council, The LA County Board of Supervisors and LAUSD, Dave Elliott, aka Zuma Pussy, has now agreed to take a leave of absence from running the stock market and take on the job of advising the Commission and Athletic Director Garrett on how to make a deal for the historic landmark Coliseum.
Worry no more, it is good as a done deal. When ZD steps in, none of us need to be further concerned.
He will put that Midget Mexican Mechista Mayor out of business in no time flat.
Oh last poster, please go to bed. You're boring us.
2:15am,
???
ZD has never made a single comment (spoken or typed) regarding this issue?
So your attack is in no way a sign of mental illness on your part.
