Last month I made fun of the following Clay Helton quote regarding the hiring of a recruiting director to replace Eric Ziskin. “It’s such a big hire. It’s like having an OC, a DC, a special teams coordinator. Strength and conditioning. This is a big hire,” Helton said. So what did Helton do? He hired Spencer Harris of Fresno State to be USC’s new recruiting … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Clay Helton Eats His Own Words
L.A. County Supervisor Janice Hahn said today she still believes it is possible to name the field but not the Coliseum as she still opposes the “United Airlines Memorial Coliseum” naming rights. “I’m hopeful that a compromise can be reached,” Hahn said. “I also know that there is talk of other possible corporate sponsors expressing an interest.” United has already said it would prefer to … Continue reading Coliseum Naming Rights Update
