Is Chad “Charmin” Bowden just a petty person or did he leave Notre Dame on bad terms? The Trojans just mocked Notre Dame in a video (below) and it’s basically taking shots at a video the Irish previously produced. Who else at USC would even remember a Notre Dame video than the small-minded Bowden? He even did a voice-over in the USC version, which takes … Continue reading USC Saturday Buzz: The Petty GM At Work

Chad “Charmin” Bowden made a splash (literally) when he walked to the top of the diving platform Saturday in the USC swim stadium at Swim with Mike fundraiser and jumped in the water. Did he know Pete Carroll did the same thing years ago? The difference was Carroll did it as a way of taking part with Swim with Mike and interacting with his players. … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: The Difference Between Genuine And Forced Stunts

I generally don’t find the usual banter between Oregon and USC fans on social media to be that interesting. For one thing, there is no comparison between the schools when it comes to history and national titles. At the same time, I don’y why USC lowers itself by taking shots at Oregon over recruiting commitments. With that said, I thouight this post was funny, because … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Offseason Champions!

Chad “Charmin” Bowden is at it again. He spoke this week on Trojans Live about USC’s schedule “We cannot wait to play in those games,” Bowden said. Was he talking about playing San Jose State or Louisiana? Of course not. No doubt he was referring to Oregon, Ohio State, Indiana, etc. But not Notre Dame, of course. Let’s recall what he said last season before … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: The World Champion Of Talking Strikes Again

Can you believe USC wraps up spring practice this week? It was a quick month of workouts. The biggest accomplishment was getting the defense comfortable with Gary Patterson’s new system. Unfortunately, too much of the focus is on who had an explosive play in practice. No one ever focuses on who gave up those plays, of course. That’s not something they can promote. But when … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column

It’s April Fool’s Day and Azusa Pacific is getting in on the action. Don’t let Lincoln Riley see this or he might actually do it. 🚨 Announcement 🚨 Starting in 2029, USC agrees to replace Notre Dame with APU as its new annual rivalry game. Read more below: 📰 The game will take place at April Fools Stadium in Los Angeles. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ pic.twitter.com/sM4H1j1sUG — Azusa … Continue reading Don’t Let Lincoln Riley See This April Fool’s Day Joke

Pete Carroll is returning to the Coliseum! Unfortunately, he won’t be coaching a USC game. Carroll has been named commencement speaker for the USC Marshall School of Business. The ceremony will be at the Coliseum, fittingly. “I am fired up to return to USC and the L.A. Coliseum, the place where we competed, won, and shared lifelong memories with the Trojan Family,” Carroll said. This … Continue reading Pete Carroll Returning To Coliseum

Oregon coach Dan Lanning was asked today about recent USC social media videos taking shots at the Ducks. “No reaction. I’m much more focused on winning in the fall,” Lanning said. Winning in the fall? That’s always the last thing on the mind of USC’s social media. Continue reading USC Thursday Buzz: An Oregon Response To Social Media Videos

It is disappointing that at midday Monday, USC still has not said anything about the death of Joey Browner or published an obituary. There’s plenty of time to do social media posts mocking Oregon, but acknowledging the passing of an All-American and one of the greatest defensive backs in school history is another matter, apparently. It’s quite a contrast to the Minnesota Vikings, who not … Continue reading USC Notes: Waiting For Announcement

Has anyone (besides me) criticized Lincoln Riley for holding a scrimmage at the Coliseum this weekend without allowing fans to attend? I don’t expect the local media to hold him accountable. That’s not their style. But Riley had previously said he couldn’t hold a real scrimmage because it would also require a practice to prep for the scrimmage and he couldn’t afford to waste a … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Does Anyone Defend Fans?

USC held a SCRIMMAGE today at the Coliseum with recruits and others in attendance. I keep mentioning these Saturday workouts at the Coliseum because I’m not sure what difference it would make to allow the public to attend them. Nothing top secret is happening and the fans would be fine some scrimmaging or a practice. Just something. But scrimmaging did take place today. USC women’s … Continue reading USC Saturday Buzz: Back In The Coliseum

USC reached a tentative settlement in Sony Music’s lawsuit alleging its sports teams used hundreds of unlicensed songs in USC athletic department social media posts/hype videos. Terms of the settlement have not been disclosed. Among the teams competing are Arizona State, BYU, CSUN, Long Beach State, Utah, and Wisconsin. Bennett Stirtz – D2 Northwest Missouri St Tavion Banks – JUCO NW Florida St Alvaro Folgueiras … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column

There used to be a time when USC didn’t look back at anyone else because it only worried about itself. So what does it say when USC has to dunk on Oregon when it gets a commitment over the Ducks? ✌️ pic.twitter.com/1IPUrCn349 — USC Football ✌️ (@uscfb) March 26, 2026 https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js Continue reading USC Takes Shot At Oregon

This is what I mentioned earlier replaces the USC spring game at the Coliseum. It’s one hour to take pictures and get autographs with the players on their day off. No mention of Lincoln Riley. Will he be there? USC used to hold a practice open to the public the same day as Swim with Mike, that way fans could watch practice and follow the … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Fan Appreciation Details

Tailback Waymond Jordan, who had been participating in spring practice, had a prodedure done on his ankle and will not return this spring. He is expected to return in the summer per Lincoln Riley. Continue reading USC Tuesday Buzz: Running Back Shut Down

There’s been attention on Matt Leinart saying he turned down USC’s request to let recruits wear his retired No. 11. The whole issue illustrates what a farce it was to let Jordan Addison wear No. 3 for his one semester at USC. I don’t blame Carson Palmer for that. I blame Lincoln Riley and his staff for pestering Palmer to let Addison wear No. 3. … Continue reading USC Tuesday Buzz: A Viral Spotlight On Recruiting
