USC Football Catches Academic Ass-Whooping

If you wanna get into the prestigious University of Southern California, you're going to have to compete for admission spots with some of the brightest people in the country -- and a bunch of dumbass football players.

USC Trojans: Click to watch
The Men of Troy hit Lawry's for the annual pre-Rose Bowl prime rib dinner last night -- but when we asked about VP-elect Joe Biden, disgraced governor Rod Blagojevich and euthanasia, well ... the world-class athletes looked more like world-class tackling dummies.

Fun Fact: They're still going to beat the crap out of Penn State.

31. I WORK AT USC DEALING WITH STUDENTS ON A DAILY BASIS. USC NOT ONLY GRADUATES DUMBASS BALL PLAYERS BUT A HUGE NUMBER OF STUDENTS ARE REALLY REALLY DUMB, BEYOND COMMON SENSE DUMB. SC CATERS TO THOSE WHO CAN PAY THEIR WAY THROUGH.

34. Fun Fact- JoePa's overall bowl record is 23-10-1. He will have the boys ready for your beloved USC (University of Spoiled Children).

WE ARE...

P.S. Why do my comments keep getting deleted? Are the USC kool-aid-drinking, bandwagon-jumping TMZ staff too afraid to hear the truth?

35. ofcourse they're out there trying to make these guys look dumb cuz they are football players. but trust me, i know a few of them, and they ARE smart people. ask anyone these questions during bowl week, Penn State Players, Notre Dame Players. you really think they will be concerned with answering random questions from a guy with a camera? i think not. even sanchez said it, he's more concerned about the rose bowl.
Fight On and beat the Nittany Lions!

42. I'm Penn State Alumni....GO PENN STATE!!!

That said, TMZ, this is one of stupidest things you've ever done. Why ask hot, athletic, football players political questions COMPLETELY out of context when they are at a sport rally? Your like the dorky guy who just doesn't get it. WHO CARES that they don't know politics.
