I told you this morning Mike Bohn was hiring a friend from Cincinnati to help him.
It’s Brandon Sosna, who was senior associate athletic director and chief revenue officer. That sounds a lot like the duties of Steve Lopes, who has been at USC since 1984.
There is no word yet on anyone leaving the athletic dept. but it wouldn’t be a surprise if this is what is happening.

It’s always good to have at least one person you can say “Carol sure is crazy” to without worrying about be tattled on….

Your humble contributor asks for a favor. We have lot of precious names for that Palo Alto school. Leland j. Stanfurd univ., the farm, Stanfurd or Furd. Since the last couple of years furd has been good to SC, can we agree on something besides stanford?

Have you heard of stipulated definitions? For gt and me the stipulated definition of “Stanford of the West” is “any university –located anywhere in the world other than Palo Alto— which feels good about itself for treating football as a stepchild.”

First thought: If Bohn is a yes man, then the new guy is a yes yes man? It’s a double positive/ is that even a thing at SC?
Second thought: Oh you can’t afford the coach your fan base wants but you bought something for yourself?
Third and best thought: who give a shit? I mean really did this guy really need to travel across country to see his old boss- was this a quid-pro- coach?
