I keep forgetting to mention this but Coach Bohn was actually supposed to show up at a USC booster function last month. Some people actually went to see if he would appear. But, of course, Bohn didn’t show up. He’s still in the USC athletic director Witness Protection Program with Pat Haden and Lynn Swann. Brandon Sosna might as well be in the program too … Continue reading A No-Show And Also A Bronny Update

I mentioned in June that Christian Roland-Wallace had been switched to nickelback and he is playing that spot in training camp. “Whatever they need me to do I’m here to do it,” he said. While playing nickel is probably good for the defense, let’s be real: Roland-Wallace did not transfer to USC to play nickel.

Fox’s bid, essentially, was for what … Continue reading Shocking: Looks Like George Kliavkoff Gave False Impression

The USA Today coaches’ poll is out and USC is ranked No. 6. That’s pretty high but not high enough to make the College Football Playoff. The Trojans are above Washington (No. 11), Utah (No. 14) and Oregon (No. 15). The part that interests me is who votes in this poll. And here is the full poll: Rank Team Record PTS 1st Prev Chg Hi/Lo … Continue reading Too High Or Just Right? USC Ranked No. 6 In Coaches’ Poll
