In what seems like an altogether fair and balanced response to a loss by USC at the hands of California rivals UCLA, rapper/smoker/icon Snoop Dogg said today that the Trojans' inability to play better against the Bruins means that his highly touted football player son may rethink his potential future in the yellow and red.
"I was just mad about the way we played. You have to understand, the tradition is, we run L.A. To lose to UCLA two, three years in a row, it ain't right," Snoop told TMZ.
"We've got too much talent to lose the way we lost -- it should be a closer game. ... He's going to be a grown adult, so he'll make his decision, but I'd say that loss right there is going to hurt. Because nobody wants to go to a school that can't beat their rivals."
The Trojans lost to the Bruins 38-20 on Saturday, and Snoop, a notorious USC fan was displeased. So displeased in fact, that he said his son, Cordell Broadus, a wide receiver from Bishop Gorman High in Las Vegas, who has collected scholarship offers from a number of schools including USC, Florida State, Notre Dame, Arizona State and UCLA, may no longer view USC as a prime candidate for his services.
UCLA has beaten USC by double-digits for three consecutive years, according to Chase Goodbread of NFL.com.
Snoop had said earlier this year, according to ESPNU, that, while he would support his son wherever he chose to go, he hoped Cordell would eventually attend USC.
Broadus, at 6-foot-2, 195 pounds, is a national top-125 player overall. He attended high school in the Los Angeles area before transferring to Bishop Gorman, which has one of the nation's best high school football programs.
