i personally don't know why they came down so hard on him for it. what the hell else do people do at alumni social events. they need to cut sark some slack.


Rumor is he partied hard at UW too and the boosters were ready to cut him loose before USC hired him. In the MSB thread a UW fan said the breaking point was when he showed up wasted to Don James's funeral and tried to start a Go Huskies chant
