It’s the Fourth of July and that means time to run this wonderful color photo of the fireworks show at the Coliseum in 1964, that even lit up Mudd Hall and the USC campus.
The Mudd Hall Bell Tower was used in the 1923 version of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame.”
And here’s a photo from the 1957 Coliseum fireworks show.

Now, now, George. I know you like to jest, especially with your bruin playmates, but right now you have to concentrate with all your mind, body and soul on beating this virus. We don’t have youth on our side anymore. Same goes for the missus.
But if you choose not to heed my advice, I hear that Michael is ready to come out of retirement to defend you.

The downside of Rick Caruso spending close to $40 million on the LA mayor race is that he is no longer giving NIL money to USC. Hence OL hopeful Francis Mauigoa goes to Miami, who turned out to be the highest bidder. It is all about the Benjamins. He also turned down ‘Bama and OSU.

Ricky needs to think about spending $40 million on poll watchers or the general result is a foregone conclusion…..

Start winning again and the lineman will come. Sheesh Start winning again and they will all come. Then USC can start picking and choosing who they want like in the 60s and 70s and in the Pete Carroll era.
