Important Announcement About USC Blog

When I started this blog 29 months ago, it was going to be more of a hobby after covering USC for more than 20 years.

I never imagined it would grow to its current size and attract such a loyal audience.

Well, now it’s time to grow even more. Today, I’m taking the InsideUSC blog to Sports Illustrated. The new address is https://www.si.com/college/usc/

The new USC blog will be the same in many ways but will have much more video, more recruiting and a stronger “community” area for comments. I hope you will join me at the new site for even more USC coverage.

  1. So sad to hear about Dwight “Lightening” Anderson’s death.
    He lived in Resident West in my suite. Dude was so underrated as BBall player. Nice friendly guy and all around good suite mate.
    I was at the game at the Sports Arena in which he shot ball over backboard while remaining in air. I’ve witnessed some great games and plays but that is definitely one of the best ever.

    I hope one day the truth about George Raveling blackballing Dwight before NBA draft comes out. It certainly will not put George in favorable light.

    1. USC AD Mike McGee’s firing Stan Morrison so he could hire Jim George Raveling The Raving Man Man after he had recruited Bo Kimble, Hank Gathers and Tom Lewis has to be the worst move in USC’s cursed mens basketball history. Raveling’s stint at USC was especially painful because the Pac 12 was USC’s for the taking in 1987 before Lute Olson’s Arizona Dynasty took off. Instead, local recruits headed to Tucson and 33 years later USC is still a second rate basketball program. Failed USC AD McGee will always be remembered for this:

    1. You may not like it but Biden’s defense for supporting TWO pointless wars was brilliantly logical: “Don’t blame my SON.”

  10. The Paradox of Free Speech
    Tony Woodlief has an insightful article in the Wall Street Journal. As he argues, the origins of speech bullying are laden with paradox. Citing the political scientist Willmoore Kendall, who taught William F. Buckley at Yale, he says that an excessive insistence on academic freedom in past decades contained the seeds of that freedom’s own destruction. Buckley alluded to this in the subtitle of his first book, God and Man at Yale: The Superstitions of “Academic Freedom.” The paradox comes when, in an “absolutist” manner, you extend unlimited free speech to its own worst enemies. And you get there by imagining that all ideas are created equal.

    From “Free Speech Absolutism Killed Free Speech”:

    As the political theorist Willmoore Kendall predicted in the 1950s, a community that treats every idea as ultimately refutable will eventually conclude that no real truth exists. And once that happens, he reasoned, a formerly “open society” will “overnight become the most intolerant of possible societies and, above all, one in which the pursuit of truth . . . can only come to a halt.”

    When no dogma can finally be put to rest, it becomes easier — almost obligatory — to do whatever we like. Ideas are evaluated, not based on their reasonableness or coherence, but by how much they tickle the ears of the in-crowd. Harder truths become offensive. The only intolerable citizen, in such a regime, is the one whose belief in truth compels him to attack beliefs he believes to be false even if his attacks disturb the equanimity of the establishment. His criticism becomes too hurtful — even a form of “violence.” For the safety of the community, he must be cast out….

    Such is the way of things when no idea is beyond the pale; we abandon the firm ground necessary to call evil by its rightful name. This is why ideas inimical to free speech — Marxism and its identitarian offshoots — receive perennially fresh hearings under various guises in departments ranging from gender studies to philosophy to English. Adherents of these ideologies have no problem denying speech to their opponents.

    Our commitment to granting every idea space to bloom has ironically yielded speech codes, safe zones and purges of independent-minded scholars.

    Now this illiberalism is boiling over from campuses into the streets of Portland and other university-heavy cities.
