USC Notes: Some Betting Trends

Lincoln Riley is 14-9 against the spread, according to The Action Network.

As a road favorite, USC has lost three straight games outright and has lost six consecutive games against the spread.

  • One of the big perks for working at USC was the Tuition Assistance Benefits package, which allowed employees who worked 15 years to send their kids to the university for free.

USC eliminated the benefit for people hired after July, 2011. But if you were hired before that, the benefit was grandfathered in.

Well, a firestorm erupted last week when USC proposed that it would no longer honor the agreement for those who left for other jobs. This would reportedly save USC millions of dollars.

Earlier this week, it appeared USC backed off a bit on the proposal but there has been a lot talk on campus about the situation.

      1. I think they get taxed a whopping 1.4% on the 330 million in interest and dividends. Why is this sound tax policy?

  2. I guess charging people to tailgate and run out of the tunnel isn’t generating a ton of money, maybe SC should try pay toilets to make some money

    1. But you are too cowardly to whip anyone, Cowardly Gabby!Plow Horse

      I thought Gabby said a few days back that he was going to the USC marching band pep rally today at the Palms at 2:00 and wanted to “meet up” with Scott. Instead, he spent the day trolling the blog. Once again a threat followed by a no show.

      That’s our Cowardly Gabby.

      All talk, no walk.

      2. And Judge dropping a routine fly ball was bizarre. So was the shortstop missing a throw to third base on a routine grounder. They gave away three outs. People are going to be talking about this one for a long time. Worse than the Buckner grounder.

  6. Come on Mr Blogger

    How about a celebratory comment on the Dodgers- World Series Champions ?

    Maybe your Friday column can include all things USC / Dodgers connections

    Hopefully you forget about your negative narrative for 5 minutes and join the party,

  11. SC is favored by 3 to 3 1/2 points over Wash with the expectation it might be something like 27-24 Trojans. Probably not a good bet since rain is forecast in the cold evening, not SC’s favorite things

  12. Question Scotty: Does Lincoln Riley make you feel inadequate and unsafe? Does attacking him make you feel better. I have noticed that you have attacked about every Trojan football coach. Does this practice compensate for something in your life. Just asking.

  13. Cowardly Gabby seems more agitated than usual. That’s right. It’s Halloween, the favorite holiday of perverts. Gabby will likely go as one of the friends of Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz. Brainless scarecrow fits. So does heartless tinman. But it has to be cowardly lion. Last time Cowardly Gabby wore the lion outfit to the West LA parade he was slapped by a transvestite dressed up as Dorothy and started to cry, just like the movie.

      2. The data shows that ideology, race and gender are all statistically significant predictors of self-reported mental health, with liberals like Cowardly Gabby having the worst self-reported mental health compared to moderates and conservatives, and women like Cowardly Gabby having worse self-reported mental health than men. What’s more, the interaction between race, ideology, and gender is statistically significant — with liberal white and non-white women like Cowardly Gabby having the worst self-reported mental health.

        This trend has also been reported by Zach Goldberg and Haidt using Pew Research’s data, as well as findings from Gimbrone et al. Using FIRE’s 2024 Campus Free Speech Rankings data, we’ve seen that 36% of students reported feelings of poor mental health more than half the time.

        Out of these 15,000 students, 67% were liberal, compared to just 16% moderate and 17.3% conservative.

        To put it simply, the more students were likely to believe in “social justice fundamentalism”, the more miserable they tended to be.

  14. Scooter,

    the deal with being an employee for SC for 15 years was a big thing for the employees. They had connections with other schools that would honor this deal as well. It is horrible that they took this away. How greedy is SC? It is getting worse and worse. Instead of the motto of, Fight ON as a battle cry, they need to use (W)hore On!!, from now on.

    (W)hore On!!!

    1. It is not just the money PT. Carol and her leftist friends want to reimagine the university. Legacy admissions and employee family admissions do not fit into their vision of the future. Look at the worst shi*hole universities in America. Places like Columbia and Brown with their students burning the American flag, hoisting the Palestinian flag and wearing BLM and Che Guevara t-shirts. That’s what Folt wants for USC.
