Michigan football will hold its first-ever “Stripe Out” vs. USC this season. The even-numbered sections will wear blue while the odd-numbered sections will wear maize.

You have an entitled cold fish (Lincoln Riley) who has refused to meet with alumni for 2 years. Why not get Carroll to do something where he can engage with … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Get Caesar Involved Immediately
