Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff continues to be in denial about the reaction to USC and UCLA moving to the Big Ten. “I have yet to talk to anyone in the UCLA and USC community who is in favor of the move,” he said at Pac-12 basketball media day. “I will say that I probably hear from folks who are not in favor of it.” Now … Continue reading George KliavKoff Continues To Be In Denial

Linebacker Becomes Special Teams Specialist

Jordan Addison And Eric Gentry Do Not Practice

Wide receiver Jordan Addison and linebacker Eric Gentry did not practice today and are officially day-to-day according to Lincoln Riley. As I said this morning, since they are not 100 percent, does it make sense to play them this weekend? Depends on how much better they feel by Saturday. Pac-12 Conference Regular Season UCLA 9/5 (+180) Arizona 2/1 Oregon 9/2 (+450) USC 9/1 Standord 18/1 … Continue reading Jordan Addison And Eric Gentry Do Not Practice

USC Morning Buzz: Arizona An Attractive Prospect From One Perspective

USC plays Arizona on Saturday. I hear Trojans wide receiver Gary Bryant is interested in transferring to Arizona. Bryant is redshirting and expected to enter the transfer portal.

Meanwhile, who will Colorado hire? Baylor … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Arizona An Attractive Prospect From One Perspective
