STOP YOUR CRYING YOU LITTLE BABIES
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Southern California formally complained that ABC-TV's Brent Musburger revealed privileged information in play-by-play commentary during Saturday's game against Nebraska.
The university sent a letter to ESPN, which oversees sports programming on ABC, saying Musburger, with less than 10 minutes to play and the Trojans leading 21-10, began describing how USC quarterback John David Booty lets receivers know he has spotted a certain kind of coverage.

"John David told us that his signal when he finds one-on-one and they're coming, it's that 'hang loose,' that familiar sign you've seen surfers use," said Musburger, referring to the sign where the thumb and little finger are raised.
USC sports information director Tim Tessalone sent a formal complaint to ESPN/ABC game producer Bill Bonnell on Monday and sent a copy to the Pacific-10 conference office.
"We're supposed to be partners in this, but this is certainly going to make us think twice about trying to help them have as good a broadcast as possible," Tessalone said. "What he did was unconscionable."
Last Friday, announcers and producers met with coaches and star players as part of their game preparation. During the meeting, there was discussion about how a replay of the Ohio State-Texas broadcast showed Buckeyes quarterback Troy Smith tapping the top of his helmet to let receiver Ted Ginn Jr. know he's noticed one-on-one coverage.
Booty was asked if Southern California had a similar signal, and Booty told Musburger about his "hang loose" signal.
"We are very mindful of what we learn in pre-game meetings in terms in what is appropriate for broadcast and what is for our background. We're sorry this led to an unfortunate misunderstanding, which was never our intention," ESPN said in a statement released by spokesman Josh Krulewitz.
Musburger said in a statement late Monday that the network regretted the confusion.
Asked about Musburger's on-air revelations, USC coach Pete Carroll said with a laugh, "Just wondering what they're going to tell us next. I'm not worried about it. There's a million signals, a million ways to do it."

Keith Jackson would have never brought it up on air. He said so on ESPN radio today.

Good old Brent "Mushmouth" Musberger shoots his mouth off again, trying fill air time with pointless, boring middle of the 4th quarter conversation after USC had already turned the CornHuskers into "creamed-corn." Does he ever discuss such things during any other football games when he is on the broadcast team? No. As Pete Carrol said "There's hundreds of signals and audibles we can use. No big deal." Fight On USC!
What "Mushmouth" said on-air was wrong as it was discussed in a pre-broadcast Production Meeting, held to assist the TV crew spot play activity. Apparently, Brent Musberger doesn't respect Professional Ethics and have respect for things discussed in confidence. How would he like it if he was quoted from an off-air meeting and his conversation is broadcast on Nationwide TV broadcast? What a jerk! What would your favorite football team's management say in similar circumstances? Who would be "crying" then?
At least Kieth Jackson spoke up and said he would have interrupted and cut-off Booty's response to Brent Musberger's question presented in the pregame production meeting. Kieth Jackson has class and professional ethics.
By the way, all of you USC haters out there, does you favorite football team have 28 consecutive home game wins? I didn't think so! Did your favorite college team start three freshmen last Saturday? No. There is amazing depth on USC's Football Team due to great recuiting. One hell of a great football program.
Bring on UCLA! See you at 5:00 P.M. 12/2/2006 at the Rose Bowl, Your home field. Where is UCLA ranked this week?
