I’ve gotten a lot of feedback from radio interview with Softy Mahler last week. A USC donor even called me to day I made his weekend when he heard it. That’s what it takes these days to make a USC fan’s weekend: Point out how incompetent and ridiculous Lynn Swann is as athletic director. What else is there to celebrate? Making the NCAA Tournament? Continue reading How Do You Make A USC Fan’s Weekend?
No surprise really but USC is left out of the NIT. This puts an exclamation point on a season that was disappointing. There have been many disappointing moments. Two NCAA victories in six years. Two NCAA appearances. But next year’s recruiting class is ranked No. 2. What happens if that team underachieves? USC did not make the CBI or CIT either? Maybe it can play … Continue reading USC Does Not Make NIT
We hear Donna Heinel‘s told people she is “not guilty” of the charges against her in the college admissions scandal. Now would expect anything different? It will be interesting to see what defense Heinel mounts. It will also be interesting to see if she implicates anyone else at USC. I haven’t heard yet what Jovan Vavic is saying to people.

Depending on whether you can get good reception for 790-AM, this might be a good move for fans because basketball games are often bumped for Lakers games. KABC no longer has the L.A. Kings, so that should not be an issue. They could … Continue reading USC Radio On The Move?
Remember Riki Ellison posted on facebook that USC interim president Wanda Austin said the following regarding Clay Helton: “He’s not drinking, doing drugs, or sleeping around.” Well, John McKay was famous for hanging out at Julie’s restaurant and some legendary drinking nights. He also won four national championships. So maybe it’s OK to have a few vices if you win. Continue reading Maybe Wanda Austin Needs A History Lesson
A USC coach told me an interesting story: An athlete he recruited as a walk-on with good grades was presented to Donna Heinel. The coach said Heinel told him the athlete’s test score was too low. About 12 hours later, the athlete went over to Westwood and was immediately accepted by UCLA. The coach is now fairly certain he lost a walk-on so that a … Continue reading A College Admissions Scam Story
