I don’t find it a coincidence USC released a workout video (below) to show how hard they are working out this winter despite lacking a strength coach and criticisms of discipline inside and outside the program. Isn’t it also convenient that one of the players featured is quarterback JT Daniels? He needs some image rehab too after last season and you can bet the USC … Continue reading USC Is Working Hard, Just Ask Them
USC interim president Wanda Austin delivered a state of the university speech yesterday. Here was a quote that caught my attention: “Shared governance means shared engagement and shared accountability.” This makes perfect sense. But let’s apply it to athletics. Is Lynn Swann engaged? Is he accountable to anyone? Is Clay Helton being held accountable? USC has many issues that Austin must focus on as president and … Continue reading USC Wants “Shared Accountability”

That meant Hill could have signed with USC on … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: A Package Deal Blew Up
As much as I would love to ignore USC basketball, it is hard to avoid when the Trojans blow a 14-point lead to Stanford, who didn’t even have point guard Daejon Davis. Not to mention the inevitable collapse at the end as USC led by 4 going into the final minute. Has Andy Enfield ever overachieved? He has more talent than Stanford. But USC is 13-12. … Continue reading USC Basketball Is Mess, Of Course
No word if the rain today kept Lynn Swann off a golf course. Hopefully he met with Clay Helton today to discuss recruiting, hiring a new strength coach and the new commitment to discipline. Hopefully. Continue reading Sign Of The Times
