    I have to be honest, I cannot find anywhere where Bush invited USC to the white house ???

    I saw where he invited the USC womens golf team.

    Anyone have a link ?

    I wrote Pres. Bush and the

    White House asking this question.......

    Also I found these items on the website:

    Track:
    LS&U, right across the border from where I used to live. I want to welcome the mens outdoor track and field team and the women's indoor track and field team. If you ever follow college track, you know that LSU has been dominate, to say the least. And once again, they have been dominate. This is the 23rd championship under Coach Pat Henry's leadership. And I want to welcome first the mens outdoor track team. Welcome to the White House, and congratulations for a great victory. (Applause.)

    And the women's indoor track team routed the field this year. Their closest competitor was 14 points. Welcome to the LSU Tigers women's track team. Congratulations. (Applause.)

    Also:

    From his visit to New Orleans:

    THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all. (Applause.) Thank you all very much for coming. (Applause.) Thanks for the warm welcome. It's great to be back in the Big Easy. I've got a lot of good memories from this part of the world. (Laughter.) Some I can share with you -- (laughter) -- and some I can't. (Laughter.)

    We love New Orleans. Fabulous city. Thanks for coming. I appreciate your support. It's great to be in the state of Louisiana, the home of those Bayou Bengals, the mighty LSU Tigers. (Applause.)

    That's pretty -- that was -- that's awesome. (Laughter.) It was exciting for Louisiana. I'm proud for you. I'm also glad that you didn't play the University of Texas this year. (Laughter.) Wait a minute. (Laughter.)

    Trust me, if Pres. Bush is going to ask USC, he'll ask LSU. Chill......the election and what's best for the country is more important anyway. Vote for Bush!!!! IMO!!!! :)

    I would never rescind my vote for the President based on whether he invited LSU to the white house. I love LSU, but I also think that there are issues that are far more important to weigh in deciding who is going to lead the most powerful country in the world and who will be the most powerful leader in the world. Sorry guys, but I just find it a bit foolish to say you won't vote for Bush solely based on the fact that he didn't invite LSU to the white house...

    One more thing, is it even tradition to invite a college team to the White House? I know he invites the Pro Teams, but I don't have a broad enough memory to remember if he invites college teams too?

    If there is no link to such an invite, then it didn't happen!

    I'm pretty sure such an invite would be on their website or in the newspaper on the left coast.
