LR doesn’t know who John Robinson was….The USC football team under Robinson from 1976-1982 was a juggernaut, only stopped when a stupid track athlete named Billy Mullins signed up for 4 classes at 4 different colleges at the same time and attracted the attention of the NCAA who zeroed in on our football program.https://vault.si.com/vault/1980/03/31/scorecard

Billy Mullins’ daughter – Troy – is a long-drive golf professional. Her ball speed is about the same as male PGA (not long drive) pros:

–One of the speakers for Coach was Paul McDonald, somewhat forgotten but the quarterback for the 1978 National Champions and an All-American in 1979 when SC missed out on another Championship by a tie with Stanford

Gabby,
Thank you. If us regulars had gone, they could have charged a $100 for a seat and people would have paid. He and Maddon hopefully are hanging out with each other in heaven.

SC was at it’s greatest as an institution and as a football power back then. So many great memories. JR represented SC like no other, always charming and eloquent with the media and alumni.

This ’76 vintage was another great JR team, remember Bruin star running back Theotis Brown fumbling the ball into the air on a hit by Rod Martin and Dennis Thurman catching the fumble in midstride and running for a touchdown to crush Bruin hopes of #1!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCNz3DBg5qw
