Morning Buzz: What Does USC Have In Common With NBA All-Star Game?

Who played worse defense? The NBA All-Stars or USC? Was Alex Grinch in Indianapolis? Speaking of USC’s defense, here’s a classic clip from Chris “Mad Dog” Russo that includes his consistent botching of Caleb Williams’ name. Kuh-leeb Williams. “It’s up to him.

He’s still in season now, has the … Continue reading Morning Buzz: What Does USC Have In Common With NBA All-Star Game?

Low Expectations For USC?

The first over/under for regular season wins I’ve seen for USC is 7.5 via BetOnline. That seems really low. I understand the concerns about USC’s schedule (which is actually less daunting given Washington’s demise and Jim Harbaugh’s departure). But is 8 wins considered good next season?

If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column

The spring football game at the Coliseum on April 20 will be the same weekend as the Festival of Books. That means forget about parking on campus, because 40,000-50,000 attend the book festival. Probably not a great idea to visit the bookstore that day either. Does USC think of these conflicts at all? Here he is circa 1967 with USC student body president Taylor Hackford, … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
