If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column

Today is the deadline to renew season tickets but I haven’t talked to any USC fans who are too worried about it. They don’t think there’s a flood of new fans trying to buy season tickets so if they wait a couple weeks, they don’t think they will lose their seats. Some think they can probably get an upgrade if they wait. This is a … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column

A Comfortable Face At Spring Preview

USC held its Spring Preview event last night at the Coliseum (cost $150) and it was hosted by Pac-12 analyst Yogi Roth. Why Roth? Maybe this video will help you understand. We love when teams respond when adversity strikes…so let's allow them to respond. Here is my take on #USC football in my weekly Passion Bucket segment. #HowGreatIsBall #Pac12FB @Pac12Network pic.twitter.com/oTDjIYdtLY — Yogi Roth (@YogiRoth) … Continue reading A Comfortable Face At Spring Preview

USC-UCLA Game Expected Sellout

Looking to … Continue reading USC-UCLA Game Expected Sellout

Swann can always move back to Pittsburgh, where he remains … Continue reading Lynn Swann Puts House Up For Sale

How Much Would You Pay To Play Golf With Clay Helton?

You know what is great about college sports? You can generally let down fans for two seasons and still charge outrageous prices for a golf tournament. It’s $850 for a single ticket and goes up to $10,000 for four golfers with the “premium golf package.” For $5,000, you can go to a private reception the night before the tournament and meet Clay Helton, Graham Harrell … Continue reading How Much Would You Pay To Play Golf With Clay Helton?

USC Morning Buzz: A Solitary Figure Heading Into Spring

I’m hearing that during USC’s workouts leading up to spring practice, Clay Helton’s cut a pretty solitary figure. He walks around but doesn’t really have his close buddies (John Baxter, Johnny Nansen, even Clancy Pendergast) to talk to so he mostly watches a mostly new coaching staff. Now this is for closed-to-the-public workouts. I suspect next week, when spring practices are open to the public, … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: A Solitary Figure Heading Into Spring
