USC Morning Buzz: The Football Bureaucracy Getting Worse

I’ve had enough of the way the football coaching profession has created an entire bureaucracy of titles. Alabama has named Maurice Linguist and Colin Hitschler as co-defensive coordinators and defensive backs coaches. The only problem is Kane Wommack is also defensive coordinator. That is three defensive coordinators! It has to be a record. USC has two, by the way. D’Anton Lynn and Eric Henderson. Lynn … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: The Football Bureaucracy Getting Worse

USC-UCLA Picture Of The Day

I forgot to post my all-time favorite USC-UCLA basketball game photo, which is from March 1, 1963 at the Sports Arena. The “underdog” Trojans upset UCLA, 62-60, after dropping two previous encounters a month earlier. So maybe the dog is playing for USC.

Bronny made his only shot, had two rebounds, two assists and no turnovers. He had a +8 plus-minus rating. It seems to me Enfield’s made a decision on James because he’s kept … Continue reading USC Weekend Notes: Has Andy Enfield Made Decision On Bronny James?

USC Sunday Buzz: The Best Part Of Victory Over UCLA

The best part of USC’s 62-56 victory over UCLA on Saturday night is it prevents the media from continuing to carry water for Mick Cronin. UCLA is 14-13 overall and will need to win the Pac-12 Tournament to make the NCAA Tournament. But up until UCLA lost its past two games, you still had pundits praising Cronin despite the fact UCLA’s been playing well below … Continue reading USC Sunday Buzz: The Best Part Of Victory Over UCLA
