"He had considered transferring to a junior college, Tennessee or Georgia."

Which is very different than

"He had considered transferring to a junior college, Tennessee, or Georgia."

Journalists are taught to drop the last comma so it reads better. Those statements mean the exact same thing.

Conventions have changed in recent years allowing the last comma to be optional. I think it reads better with it there though

How does that read better. It just makes me think they made a mistake.

Obviously nobody here much cares where he's going, considering there's more discussion about punctuation than the athlete in this thread. lol

The last comma thing has been changing the last few years now. English is a living, fluid language that changes over time, dick.

You're obviously too dumb to comprehend this difficult subject, so I'll leave it at this. You want to take a look at a dead language, look at Latin. English, as a language, is a living, ever changing creature, and will continue to change as long as people speak it. The media had nothing to do with your laziness.

Kiffin must really be desperate to kick a kid off the team and then let him back on. I guess USC's scholly numbers really are low. Ambles apparently didn't have too many takers for his services either.

He was never kicked off. Left of his own accord.
