Jen Cohen released the “State of Troy” newsletter for November today. No mention of the “state” of the USC-Notre Dame football series.
She did say USC has to raise $68 million to reach its goal of $225 million for the athletics projects, including Dedeaux Field and the football building.
Oh wait, there was a reference to USC-Notre Dame. She said the women’s basketball game last weekend was “sold out.” The official attendance was 7,894, which is about 2,400 below capacity.
- The recruiting services are projecting USC will land five-star defensive lineman Jahkeem Stewart of New Orleans. Apparently, NIL isn’t a problem on this commitment.
- Remember Joseph Manjack? The former USC wide receiver, now at Houston, has caught a pass in 26 straight games.
- USC (read Tim Tessalone) did a horrible job earlier this year recognizing Trojans in Hollywood. It had just a throwaway line on former All-American Jesse Hibbs.
So I’m going to republish what I previously wrote about him here.
Hibbs was one of the most profilic behind-the-scenes Trojans. He directed 44 episodes of Perry Mason; 20 episodes of Gunsmoke; 28 episodes of The F.B.I. and countless feature films.
Notably, he directed the 1953 football-themed film, All-American and To Hell and Back in 1955 starring Audie Murphy. The latter movie is his most well-acclaimed film.
He was an uncredited second-unit director for 1940’s Knute Rockne All American.

We would be the #2 -3 team in the Pac 12 right now along with Colorado and recruits would be pouring in. Instead we are a shameful #10 in the Big Ten with commits fleeing the sinking SS Lincoln Riley , with no hope in sight of challenging the elite of the conference. Happy Thanksgiving, Carol Folt, you turkey!

The reality of Big-10 football for SC is that once the novelty wears off of playing the Illinois and Nebraskas, those games won’t draw well in Los Angeles. Not that Oregon St and the Washington Sts did much better, but at least there was some history, a little rivalry between the West Coast teams
