Give Raveling Credit for Sticking Around

Regarding those letters in last week’s Viewpoint about George Raveling:

It is unfortunate that those writers chose to grind their axes into Mr. Raveling after he displayed a good deal of love and loyalty by remaining as USC’s basketball coach. His record speaks for itself--four consecutive postseason appearances and a nearly 90% winning percentage at the often-maligned Sports Arena since 1990.

As to Bill Walsh’s reference to USC as “Yesterday U.” someone should remind him of the score of the football game last Nov. 5: Yesterday U. 45, Stanford U. 20.
