I wrote on Friday the announced attendance for the USC-Cal game would be around 57,000 and I was pretty close as USC announced a crowd of 56,721. Not bad. Of course, the crowd was much smaller. Now the question is how long Lynn Swann is willing to tolerate small crowds. He might be a figurehead but he wants to make money. He doesn’t want to … Continue reading About That USC-Cal Attendance

Clay Helton’s expertise is with quarterbacks. He played QB at Houston for his father. He has been a quarterbacks coach. So let’s ponder his evaluation: 1.) Max Browne starts over Sam Darnold. 2.)

Golly gee. Helton said again Toa Lobendahn is the starting center … Continue reading Sunday Night With Clay Helton

What a devastating impact Pat Haden had on USC football. He kept Lane Kiffin a season too long. He hired Steve Sarkisian. He ran off Ed Orgeron. He hired Clay Helton. Lynn Swann needs to be held accountable today for the football program and his lack of action is inexcusable. But Haden really did a number on the football program. This is why you must … Continue reading The Legacy Of Pat Haden
