In today’s notes column, I mentioned Rita Coolidge and Seals and Croft were at USC on May 22, 1974. It came just 11 days after an amazing concert as Linda Ronstadt performed at Cromwell Field. Students were charged just $4. And maybe it was just a coincidence but then-California Secretary of State Jerry Brown spoke at Tommy Trojan on May 20 during his campaign for … Continue reading The USC Friday Column Supplement
USC plays UCLA in the Pac-12 women’s basketball tournament tonight at 7:30 in Las Vegas. Good luck watching it as it will be on the Pac-12 Network. Here’s my problem on that: Boyd didn’t flood his non-conference schedule with tomato cans like Enfield does most of the time. Pete Maravich has been in the news recently because he was the NCAA’s all-time leading scorer. USC … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
Fox Sports plans to unveil a new package of “elite” Friday night college football games this season. The games will be from the Big Ten, Big 12 and Mountain West conferences and expected to feature some prominent games. REACTION: The details have not been revealed but that’s where problems occur. Fox wants big games on Friday nights. That sounds potentially bad. I bet Michigan and … Continue reading Get Ready For More Friday Night Football

USC does have one commitment from the Class of 2025 — five-star QB Julian Lewis — if he doesn’t flip to Georgia. I don’t doubt Riley will have a full … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Someone Is Piling Up 5-Star Skill Players And It Isn’t Lincoln Riley
The USC Hotel, which is across the street from campus and owned by the university, is trying to drum up business by sending out a promotional email telling fans to book rooms for Big Ten home games. They might better off sending that email to Penn State and Wisconsin fans. From the email: We are five months away from the Trojans officially joining the Big Ten conference! … Continue reading USC Promoting Big Ten Games
Did Steve Sarkisian underachieve last season? I realize that is in many ways always a rhetorical question with Sarkisian. But Texas had a school-record 11 players at the NFL combine and wide receiver Xavier Worthy ran a 4.21 40-yard dash. And they lost to Washington. He got a contract extension so Texas must be happy. But maybe last season was a huge missed opportunity, especially … Continue reading Did Steve Sarkisian Underachieve?
