Does the USC fan ever matter? It was announced yesterday that USC would play South Carolina in women’s basketball at Crypto Arena on Nov. 15. A great matchup. But . . . Nov. 15 also happens to be Homecoming at USC as the Trojans host Iowa. This is hardly ideal for diehard USC fans. They couldn’t have played the basketball game on Friday night or … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Does The Fan Matter?
John Fifita, a three-star offensive lineman from St. Francis in Mountain View, Calif., has committed to USC. Who signed off on this first? Chad Bowden or Lincoln Riley? Who’s in charge? Who should be trusted? I definitely don’t trust Riley. Bowden just showed up. I know whose call Jen Cohen would take first. Fifita is a Class of 2026 recruit. USC currently has the No. … Continue reading USC Notes: Trojans Add Three-Star Lineman
Remember last month I wrote about a former USC player who spent time around the program saying he was shocked at how little mention of the importance of the Crosstown Rivalry was made during the week of the UCLA game? And over the weekend, Eric Musselman ripped his players for not understanding the rivalry.

JuJu Watkins made only 9 of 28 shots in the game. One issue I have with Watkins is when she is struggling from the field, she doesn’t do much to get her teammates more shots. She had two … Continue reading A Busy Day For USC Basketball
USC laid an egg (again) against UCLA on Saturday night and Eric Musselman didn’t hold back after the game. First, he had a go at the players. “I felt like the rivalry, (our players) didn’t understand even in Game 1, and they certainly didn’t understand today what it means to the student body at USC, the boosters and the alumni,” he said. “We played like … Continue reading Sunday Buzz: Eric Musselman Rips USC Fans
Eric Musselman is a good coach. But here is a goal for next season (when not taking pics with celebrities): He needs to get his team to play better against UCLA. The Trojans embarrassed themselves tonight at Pauley Pavilion in a 90-63 loss and played poorly against the Bruins at the Galen Center. Maybe Musselman can get some advice from Mick Cronin, who started off … Continue reading Eric Musselman Has a Job For Next Season
