The Heisman Trust released a statement today regarding Reggie Bush. “Should the NCAA reinstate Bush’s 2005 status, the Heisman Trust looks forward to welcoming him back to the Heisman family.” So it is up to the NCAA?

I just wish USC put this much … Continue reading Heisman Trust Puts Reggie Bush Case Back With NCAA
Let’s talk numbers for a minute, with this ill-advised social media entry. Who the hell came up with this selection of numbers? No. 55 is obviously the crown jewel. But where is No. 42 (Pat Cannamela, C.R. Roberts, Ricky Bell, Ronnie Lott)? For better or worse, where is No. 32 (Jim Sears, O.J. Simpson)? What about No. 33 (Marcus Allen)?

Can I also say how boring I find the topic. I’m not waking up every morning wondering what every pro athlete makes and I won’t care too much about what college athletes make. I like college … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Long Live NIL! Now Go Away
I mentioned Ricky Bell in my post this morning, let’s appreciate him in a color photo. “My first organized football was flag football when I was 13 and living in Los Angeles,” Bell said. “I always wanted to be a running back and identified with all the good ones. (O.J.) Simpson, Jimmy Brown, Steve Owens, Gale Sayers, Ed Marinaro.” Continue reading Ricky Bell, Baby!
